In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Ich bi kein Schmouker” is a common card of the German Memes pack, number 273 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 “Ich bi kein Schmouker” meme mean?
The joke is the gap between a solemn denial and what everybody has already worked out. It comes out when someone swears they did nothing, ate nothing, drank nothing, with a confidence that is purely comic. It also works as self-mockery after being caught red-handed. The dialect softens the vowels and adds a flavour of cheerfully bad faith.
Where does the “Ich bi kein Schmouker” meme come from?
The line is best known from a YouTube upload in the “SWISSMEME” series, which gathers cult moments of the Swiss internet and titles this one “Profi-Verteidigung”, literally the pro’s defence. The title suggests an improvised plea against an accusation. Who appears on screen and when it was filmed are not named on that page, so the phrase, its dialect and its comic role in Swiss German chats are what can be told for sure.
How to use the “Ich bi kein Schmouker” meme
- Someone with a freshly stubbed cigarette repeats the line mid-cough.
