In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Alge!” is an epic card of the German Memes pack, number 176 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 “Alge!” meme mean?

People shout this to express total, uncontrollable excitement, matching the same register Knossi hits mid-stream. The expression is used to mimic that over-the-top, slightly absurd energy, often with no logical connection to the situation, reusing the exact same loud, exalted tone as the original.

Where does the “Alge!” meme come from?

The "Alge!" shout comes from the livestreams of German entertainer and streamer Knossi, known for his TV shows, poker commentary, and highly demonstrative stream persona. In late January 2020, Knossi released "Alge" as his debut single, with lyrics based directly on one of his casino livestreams where he had shouted the line. The song charted in Germany, reaching number 50 on the singles chart, turning a simple stream shout into an actual song picked up by his fans.
