In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Too Italian” is a rare card of the Italian Memes pack, number 80 of the collection, and the 76th 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 “Too Italian” meme mean?

People use it to dismiss, with an air of superiority, anything that feels homespun, provincial or already seen in Italy, often self-mockingly, when talking about food, cinema or bureaucracy.

Where does the “Too Italian” meme come from?

Stanis La Rochelle, played by Pietro Sermonti, is the actor in Boris whose real name is Enzo Facchetti: he picked a stage name to reject everything Italian and believes “too Italian” acting explains the poor quality of local dramas. With Corinna he founds the production company SNIP, short for So Not Italian Productions. Hence the adjective used as an insult.
