In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Hurz!” is a rare card of the German Memes pack, number 250 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 “Hurz!” meme mean?
People shout “Hurz!” to mimic the fake confidence of a trend that does not exist, copying the serious, pseudo-expert tone of the original sketch. The comedy comes from the contrast between the staged seriousness and the total nonsense of the made-up word, presented as an obvious cultural fact.
Where does the “Hurz!” meme come from?
“Hurz!” comes from a TV sketch by German comedian Hape Kerkeling, co-written with Achim Hagemann, aired in the final episode of the comedy series “Total Normal” in July 1991 on the channel Das Erste. In the scene, Kerkeling plays a music expert presenting “Hurz!” as the new trendy music genre, chanting the word with total confidence despite it meaning absolutely nothing. The sketch became one of Kerkeling's best-known works and a lasting cultural reference in Germany, still quoted decades later, before becoming a rare card in MyMemeCards.
