In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Abenteuer der Rückseite” is a common card of the German Memes pack, number 198 of the collection, and the 150th 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 “Abenteuer der Rückseite” meme mean?

The phrase is used to joke about whatever happens "on the back", in the shadows or out of frame, giving it a disproportionate comic importance, as if the back side of a thing had its own life worth telling about. It's an ironic way of saying that even the most overlooked side of an object deserves its own story.

Where does the “Abenteuer der Rückseite” meme come from?

"Abenteuer der Rückseite" combines "Abenteuer" (adventure) and "Rückseite" (back side, reverse) to mock the idea that something as secondary as a back side could be the setting for a real adventure. The phrase plays on the contrast between the grandeur of the word "adventure", usually reserved for thrilling tales, and the sheer ordinariness of a plain back side, something nobody ever really looks at. That deliberate mismatch between the two words is enough to create the intended comic effect, applicable to any object whose back becomes, as a joke, the subject of an imaginary mini-story.

How to use the “Abenteuer der Rückseite” meme

  • Captioning the back of an object or card with "Abenteuer der Rückseite".
  • Joking about what happens "behind" a scene by quoting the phrase.
  • Using the phrase to give a fake epic importance to a minor detail.
