In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Tuna Pasta” is an epic card of the Italian Memes pack, number 174 of the collection, and the 26th 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 “Tuna Pasta” meme mean?

People quote "Pasta con tonno" to affectionately mock an ultra-mundane daily habit stated with wildly disproportionate swagger. The line "Tutti sanno che mangio pasta con tonno" works as a ready-made reply whenever a simple dish comes up, often delivered in an exaggerated tone mimicking the song. It also works as an inside joke among fans of Italian trash rap.

Where does the “Tuna Pasta” meme come from?

Paul Yeboah, born August 4, 1992 in Ghana and settled with his family in Parma, Italy in 2004, began posting self-produced music videos from 2007 under the name "Gucci Boy," later renamed "Bello Figo" after a letter from the Gucci brand. Boosted by interviews with Andrea Diprè, he built a deliberately sloppy rap style called "trash rap," full of absurd and grammatically odd lyrics. In 2014 he released "Pasta con tonno," repeating "Tutti sanno che mangio pasta con tonno," which became one of the most quoted lines of Italian internet culture.
