In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Alarm! Alarm!” is an epic card of the German Memes pack, number 8 of the collection, and the 13th 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 “Alarm! Alarm!” meme mean?
People shout "Alarm! Alarm!" to imitate a completely disproportionate panic reaction to a minor problem, in line with the exaggeratedly dramatic tone of the 1&1 ads the line comes from.
Where does the “Alarm! Alarm!” meme come from?
The line comes from German telecom provider 1&1's ad campaign, centered on Marcell D'Avis as the "head of customer satisfaction". In these very theatrical spots, the word "Alarm!" is shouted twice to signal a supposedly urgent situation, even though the real stakes generally remain minor compared to the displayed reaction. This scene is part of a sequence of lines from the same campaign, each separately reused as a meme by internet users for its deliberately exaggerated tone.
