In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Techno Glasses” is a common card of the Spanish Memes pack, number 297 of the collection, and the 297th 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 “Techno Glasses” meme mean?

People cite El Tecnogafas to describe someone presenting themselves as a technical expert over something completely trivial. The meme mocks that mismatch between the display of seriousness and the actually absurd stakes of the situation.

Where does the “Techno Glasses” meme come from?

The Mitazos site posted a video in June 2008 filmed in central Málaga, where a character nicknamed El Tecnogafas explains, with a technician's seriousness, how to repair an electronic Pokémon organizer. The site's ironic tone highlights the contrast between the character's claimed expertise and the trivial nature of the object he's supposedly fixing.
