In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “It’s a Trap, Bino” is an epic card of the Brazilian Memes pack, number 25 of the collection, and the 1st best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “It’s a Trap, Bino” meme mean?

It's used to jokingly warn someone that something looks too good or too simple to be true, and is actually hiding a trap.

Where does the “It’s a Trap, Bino” meme come from?

The line comes from "Companheiros," the tenth episode of "Carga Pesada," a show aired by Globo between 2003 and 2008 and led by Antônio Fagundes (Pedro) and Stênio Garcia (Bino), two truckers on the road across Brazil. In the scene, bandits stage a fake car accident as an ambush, and as the two men approach, Pedro warns his partner: "É uma cilada, Bino!" The actors' dead serious delivery, the odd electric guitar music and the unconvincing ambush gave the scene huge comedic potential, turning it into a meme on internet forums around 2006-2007, years after the episode first aired.

  1. 2003"Carga Pesada" premieres on Globo with the episode "Companheiros," where Pedro warns Bino about the trap.
  2. 2008The show ends after five years on air.
