In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Kesulken” is a common card of the Russian Memes pack, number 196 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 “Kesulken” meme mean?
People use “Kessoulken” to parody a serious examination process applied to something painfully obvious, usually a cat. The fake scientific discovery is the whole joke, and the word eventually became a tender, absurd nickname for cats in general.
Where does the “Kesulken” meme come from?
The meme appeared in 2017 on the Runet (the Russian-language internet), built around an image of a cat being closely inspected in a formal, protocol-like tone before being “declared” to be what it clearly already is. The card dates it to 2017 and tags it as a Runet format; no specific origin video or channel could be confirmed beyond that. The bit spread as a fake scientific discovery before, over time, sliding into everyday use as a plain affectionate nickname for cats.
How to use the “Kesulken” meme
- As a caption for a photo of a cat being closely examined: “After thorough examination: kessoulken confirmed.”
- To affectionately nickname a house cat: “Come here, kessoulken.”
- To parody a scientific tone over an obvious subject: “Study conducted, conclusion: it is indeed a cat.”
