In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Bernd sagt: Mist!” is a rare card of the German Memes pack, number 66 of the collection, and the 39th 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 “Bernd sagt: Mist!” meme mean?
The line accompanies Bernd’s every letdown, from a minor annoyance to real bad luck, always with the same jaded weariness. People reuse it to comment, with a touch of irony, on a small everyday hiccup, as if nothing could ever truly surprise or please them. That is Bernd’s whole character : a loaf of bread who endures existence without ever really losing his temper, settling for this resigned remark at every new misfortune, however small.
Where does the “Bernd sagt: Mist!” meme come from?
Bernd das Brot is a character created for KiKA, the children’s channel of German public broadcasting, by Tommy Krappweis, first appearing on air in 2000. A perpetually downcast brown loaf of bread, he fills interludes between programs, describing himself as a “Homo Brotus Depressivus”. His resigned exclamation becomes his signature line, repeated at every mishap. The character went on to win the Adolf-Grimme-Preis, a German award for television quality, and gained an unexpected adult following in the 2000s after being broadcast on a loop for an entire night, turning a children’s program into a curiosity followed well beyond its original audience.
