In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “This Could Be Romance!” is a rare card of the Brazilian Memes pack, number 132 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 “This Could Be Romance!” meme mean?
When someone drops a cringe or awkward pickup line in real life, Brazilians online fire off the Vai Dar Namoro sound effect to mock it, like that slap sound or the "dança, gatinho" cue. It is a way to publicly laugh at a failed attempt without saying a word: the sound alone delivers the verdict.
Where does the “This Could Be Romance!” meme come from?
The segment started on O Melhor do Brasil, on Record, and followed host Rodrigo Faro when the show became Hora do Faro in April 2014, airing until December 2024. Contestants try a pickup line on a female guest, and sound engineer Marcos Dutra, who has worked with Faro since O Melhor do Brasil, reacts live with a sound effect picked on the spot, from applause to a slap noise. Record revealed Dutra's identity in May 2022, and the segment turned into an online phenomenon: streamer Casimiro reacted to the clips calling the work "genius", and a fan even built a Guitar Hero style version of the sound effects that passed one million views.
