Where does the “Enough tomfoolery” meme come from?
Philipp Amthor, a young German politician who became a well-known public figure in the late 2010s, used the phrase so, enough tomfoolery in 2019 in a media context where he shifted back to a more serious tone after a lighter exchange. The word Schabernack, an old-fashioned German term for a prank or bit of mischief, added to how memorable the line felt, coming across as both serious and unintentionally funny. The phrase later spread on German-language social media as an ironic way to signal the end of a joking moment.
