In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “The Maloqueira Pose” is a common card of the Brazilian Memes pack, number 257 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 “The Maloqueira Pose” meme mean?
The pose is used to strike a cool, a bit cocky stance, half joke and half pride in boldness, directly referencing the aesthetic of Brazil's funk and favela culture. Doing the pose shows you're in on the reference, usually exaggerated and held for the camera to get a laugh.
Where does the “The Maloqueira Pose” meme come from?
The pose, duck lips, a bent knee and both index fingers pointed down, had already been circulating among funk fans before it became a national meme. The turning point came on October 13, 2019, when singer Pabllo Vittar was photographed doing it with a fan at an event in Orlando, in the United States, and the photo spread widely on Twitter. Around July 2020, illustrator Matheus Vieira, then 20 and working at the São Paulo agency BBRO, drew a sticker version of the pose inspired by that photo. His video of himself drawing the sticker reached nearly 1.5 million views on Twitter, and the tweet gathered around 4 million interactions. The sticker passed 100,000 downloads on the Sticker.ly app, and figures like comedian Whindersson Nunes, the brand Havaianas and Netflix Brazil picked up the pose in their own posts.
