Oh la la comment j'étais fatigué après ! (Dorian D'hem)In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Minuit 10” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 2052 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3495 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Minuit 10” meme mean?
The line is funny because the anecdote is so ordinary. Going to bed at ten past midnight and feeling tired afterwards is hardly remarkable, yet the character tells it like an extraordinary tale, with an emphatic “bonjour comment” that deepens the absurdity. It is used to mock a story with no point, to describe your own short nights in a mock-dramatic tone, or to answer someone dwelling on a trivial detail. The words “minuit 10” alone often evoke the whole scene for fans of the film.

How to get the “Minuit 10” card
Every pack holds 5 meme cards, the first 3 of them Common; Minuit 10 comes out of the Memes FR pack as a rare card. The pack odds say what each rarity weighs.
Your first pack is free and needs no account. After that a new free pack lands every 10 minutes, up to 3 waiting for you. You can also buy the card with MemeCoins on the market, bid for it at auction, or trade it — and a double recycles into 10 MemeCoins.
The reprint of the “Minuit 10” card
The “Minuit 10” card was reprinted as Epic (No. 4,634). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was rare. Its face reads “Reprinted card · Higher rarity”.
Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.
MyMemeCards reprints a meme when it deserves more than the rarity of its first printing, such as a classic that became iconic after it came out: the reprint gives it a place among the most sought-after cards without taking anything from the players who already had it.
