In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Erdbeerkäse” is a legendary card of the German Memes pack, number 2 of the collection, and the 4th 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 “Erdbeerkäse” meme mean?
People shout "Erdbeerkäse" to point out how absurd a remark or detail sounds when it has no apparent connection to the situation, referencing the surreal tone of the ads it comes from.
Where does the “Erdbeerkäse” meme come from?
The expression comes from German telecom provider 1&1's ad campaign, aired starting in 2019, centered on Marcell D'Avis, presented as the company's "head of customer satisfaction". In these highly theatrical spots, absurd lines like "Erdbeerkäse" pop up in the middle of staged panic scenes, adding to the deliberately grotesque tone of the campaign. This sequence of scenes became a source of online parodies and memes, with each line reused separately.
