In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Was ist’n das für’n Kombi?” is a rare card of the German Memes pack, number 191 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 “Was ist’n das für’n Kombi?” meme mean?
People reuse this line whenever something plain, unassuming, or underrated turns out to be shockingly capable or impressive. It fits as a caption on a video or image where appearances are misleading about the real power of an object, a person, or a situation, keeping the same tone of amused disbelief as the original clip.
Where does the “Was ist’n das für’n Kombi?” meme come from?
The phrase comes from a German dashcam video filmed on the Autobahn, showing an ordinary station wagon (called a "Kombi" in German) effortlessly passing a sports car. The driver filming the scene blurts out "Was ist'n das für'n Kombi?" (roughly "What kind of estate car is that?!"), stunned by what he is seeing. The clip was later picked up in compilation videos of German highway footage, where this kind of moment gets labeled an actual "highway legend". The contrast between the unremarkable family car and its ability to outpace a sports car was enough to turn the line into a stock reaction, still quoted in comments and captions well after the original clip circulated.
