What does the “Can We Blaspheme?” meme mean?
People quote 'si può bestemmiare?' to mimic the urge to curse at an exasperating situation while knowing they have to hold back. The immediate 'No!' that follows acts as a comic punctuation to the exchange.
Where does the “Can We Blaspheme?” meme come from?
The scene comes from Avanti un altro, the Italian game show hosted by Paolo Bonolis alongside Luca Laurenti, which launched on Canale 5 on 24 August 2011. A contestant, worn out by a tricky question, openly asks the host whether he's allowed to blaspheme live on air, a religiously and legally sensitive move in Italy. The host's sharp, immediate refusal gave birth to the exchange, later reused in clips and edits dedicated to the show's most frustrating moments.
