“Merci Madame Brulebois !” meme: meaning, origin and common card

What does the “Merci Madame Brulebois !” meme mean?

The meme thrives on the clash between a serious topic, protecting the environment, and a surname that evokes a log fire. Saying “Merci Madame Brulebois!” means greeting, in a solemn deadpan voice, a speech that has turned into a gag. People use it to deflate an official moment, flag a slip of the tongue or recall the famous chamber giggle, borrowing parliamentary politeness to mock it.

Where does the “Merci Madame Brulebois !” meme come from?

Danielle Brûlebois, known as Brulebois, was born in 1947 in Longwy-sur-le-Doubs in the Jura. Elected deputy for the Jura’s first constituency in 2017, she sits with Renaissance. Several YouTube videos show the “interruption de séance” triggered when she took the floor on ecology, the chamber unable to hold back laughter at a name so fitting for the subject. Other clips show her during a debate on the Egalim law. Titled “fou rire à l’Assemblée”, these edits turned her name into a running gag of political bloopers compilations.
