In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Pedro, Where’s My SIM?” is a common card of the Brazilian Memes pack, number 250 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 “Pedro, Where’s My SIM?” meme mean?

The meme stands for an exaggerated, dramatic demand over something small, when someone shouts and panics over a reason that, from the outside, looks far smaller than the reaction. It is used today to poke fun at anyone who demands something in an over the top way, even for a simple request.

Where does the “Pedro, Where’s My SIM?” meme come from?

In September 2009, in the Jardim Camburi neighborhood of Vitória (ES), a woman went to the house of Pedro de Queiroz Aguiar, then a 28-year-old university student, and shouted from outside asking for her phone's SIM card. A neighbor filmed the scene and posted it on YouTube. Wikipedia describes the woman as Pedro's girlfriend at the time and says he had copied Guns N' Roses and Metallica songs onto her SIM card; the Museu de Memes describes her as an ex-girlfriend and says Pedro stated he did not know he had the card. He only learned of his fame later, when students came to his home. Parodies and remixes followed, and in 2010 Super magazine ranked the video among the 20 most beloved virals on Brazilian YouTube.
