In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Ich bin eine Spinne” is a common card of the German Memes pack, number 294 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 bin eine Spinne” meme mean?
The meme rests on an absurd statement: someone declares they are a spider, full stop. Use it to defuse a discussion, dodge a question or parody an identity announcement. The more serious the tone, the funnier it gets. It drops into comments, usernames, and captions of spider photos or motionless characters, and it works because no explanation is ever given.
Where does the “Ich bin eine Spinne” meme come from?
On YouTube the channel derlurks posted videos titled “Ich bin eine Spinne | derlurks” and “ICH BIN EINE SPINNE REALTALK | derlurks”, and another channel even took the phrase as its name. The meme is dated to 2021 and belongs to the German-language absurdist register. The detail of the video that started it all remains to be confirmed; the phrase itself stayed easy to copy, short and instantly recognisable.
