In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Rapaiz…” is a common card of the Brazilian Memes pack, number 266 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 “Rapaiz…” meme mean?
Saying “rapaz” with a long “a” means “seriously?”, “I don't believe you” or “now you're overdoing it”. It is the answer to a shady story.
Where does the “Rapaiz…” meme come from?
Xaropinho is a rat puppet who sits beside host Ratinho on TV, today on Programa do Ratinho on SBT. It is created and operated by comedian Eduardo Mascarenhas. The puppet's birth year depends on the source: Purepeople says 27 years on TV as of June 2025, so around 1998; Wikipedia gives 1997, with a first appearance on Ratinho Livre on Record. His trademark is a drawn-out “Rapaaaz!”. Clips of him saying it circulate on TikTok and YouTube as a ready-made reaction. No source read dates the moment the catchphrase became a meme.
