In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Kraaaake” is a common card of the German Memes pack, number 228 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 “Kraaaake” meme mean?
“Kraaaake” gets its comic effect from stretching the German word “Krake” (octopus) into an almost endless shout, delivered with wildly disproportionate emotion for the animal in question. The meme is used to replay that moment of exaggerated surprise or excitement, whether in front of a real octopus, a picture, or anything round and slimy that vaguely resembles one. It works as an inside joke instantly recognisable to viewers of the original show.
Where does the “Kraaaake” meme come from?
“Kraaaake” comes from “Fame or Shame”, a recurring show by PietSmiet, a German creator group known for its Let’s Plays and community shows streamed live. During one episode, a participant pointed at an octopus on screen while stretching the word “Krake” into an exaggerated shout, a moment later clipped and shared as a short video edit by the community. The phrase then became a comic rallying cry, reused by viewers whenever an octopus, or anything that vaguely resembles one, shows up in German-language content.
How to use the “Kraaaake” meme
- Shouting “Kraaaake” in the same exaggerated tone as the original moment whenever an octopus appears on screen.
- Sharing the clip of the original shout to introduce new viewers to the meme.
- Reusing “Kraaaake” for any round, slimy object that vaguely resembles an octopus.
