In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Excuse Me, Sir” is a common card of the Brazilian Memes pack, number 167 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 “Excuse Me, Sir” meme mean?
The meme pokes fun, with heavy irony, at a line or attitude that sounds completely detached from reality, like someone complaining about something trivial as if it were a real crisis, or demanding respect over nothing. The phrase “excuse me, sir” mimics an overly polite, pompous tone, which fit perfectly with the groomed look and rich-kid pose of the teenager in the photo.
Where does the “Excuse Me, Sir” meme come from?
The photo shows a young American, later known online as Lucky Luciano (@luckylucianoog), taken in Tampa, Florida, in 2014: a sharp haircut, neat outfit, rich-kid pose. The image first circulated in the United States, but it only truly took off in Brazil starting in 2019, when Brazilian users began using it to symbolize an out-of-touch, privileged type, paired with the ironic caption “excuse me, sir.” The meme grew so big that the teenager gained over 200,000 Brazilian followers in early 2019 alone, and the spot where the photo was taken, in Tampa, became a stop for visitors wanting to recreate the pose.
- 2014The teenager's photo is taken in Tampa, Florida.
- 2019The image explodes in Brazil and becomes the "com licença, senhor" meme.
