In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Das ist ja komisch” is a legendary card of the German Memes pack, number 195 of the collection, and the 4th 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 “Das ist ja komisch” meme mean?

The phrase is used to flag an inconsistency or a suspicious coincidence with amused detachment, as if simply stating the obvious without real surprise. People use it in front of an unlikely event, a shaky excuse, or a plot twist that smells staged, to signal they are not fooled while keeping things light.

Where does the “Das ist ja komisch” meme come from?

"Das ist ja komisch" is a common German expression of mock surprise, reused in online video content to comment on scenes where something is clearly off: a coincidence too perfect, an excuse that doesn't add up, or an improbable chain of events. The calm, almost detached tone used despite the absurdity of the situation described is what let the phrase become a reusable caption, detached from its original context to apply to any similar scene spotted elsewhere online.

How to use the “Das ist ja komisch” meme

  • Captioning a video where a detail obviously doesn't add up with "Das ist ja komisch".
  • Replying to an unconvincing excuse with the phrase, in a mock-surprised tone.
