In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Tsitaty Steytema” is a rare card of the Russian Memes pack, number 91 of the collection, and the 40th 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 “Tsitaty Steytema” meme mean?
The format works by inventing a short line meant to sound like a tough-guy life lesson, then attributing it to Jason Statham, known for his stoic action-hero roles. The humor comes entirely from the gap between the actor's serious, silent image and the deliberately silly or absurd tone of the made-up quote. People share these fake quotes to playfully mock the stock self-help phrases that circulate on social media. The genre works as a recyclable template, each new quote repeating the same trick on a different topic.
