What does the “Jalisse Try to Get In” meme mean?

People use it for any attempt that fails again and again: a refused application, a queue, a door that stays shut. It is the meme of the stubborn optimist who hears no and still wants in.

Where does the “Jalisse Try to Get In” meme come from?

Jalisse, made up of Alessandra Drusian and Fabio Ricci, won Sanremo in 1997. The duo has applied almost every year since and been left out: for the 2026 edition, the press counts the 29th exclusion after 28 earlier refusals. The pair staged their attempts to enter the Ariston theatre, including a stunt around Amazon’s Alexa, and the meme grew out of that repetition.
