In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Korol Aski” is a common card of the Russian Memes pack, number 68 of the collection, and the 132nd 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 “Korol Aski” meme mean?
The phrase mocks a grandiose claim that rests on nothing glorious at all: crowning yourself “king” of a simple messaging app, and for a dishonest scheme rather than a genuine feat. People quote it to tease someone who grants themselves a pompous title for a tiny or shady achievement, especially within the very specific small world of ICQ numbers traded, and sometimes stolen, among users.
Where does the “Korol Aski” meme come from?
ICQ, whose name is pronounced “I seek you,” is an instant messaging program that was hugely popular on the Runet in the 2000s, where Russian-speaking users affectionately renamed it “Aska.” The nickname “Korol Aski” was born from an interview in which someone recounts, with clearly misplaced pride, having scammed an ICQ account, crowning themselves with this grandiose title of “king” in the process. The gap between the claimed grandeur of the title and the smallness, even dishonesty, of the real feat turned the phrase into a mocking reference reused on the Runet for any disproportionate bragging.
How to use the “Korol Aski” meme
