In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Diagonal dive” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 5391 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3501 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Diagonal dive” meme mean?

The meme mocks plans too grand to be serious. The character spells out his attack like a strategist, though the idea is messy and the martial jargon rings false. People use it to comment on an ambitious but shaky plan, an absurd game tactic or a pompous explanation with no chance of working.

Where does the “Diagonal dive” meme come from?

The line comes from Kaamelott, a French comedy and historical fantasy series created by Alexandre Astier, Alain Kappauf and Jean-Yves Robin, aired from January 3, 2005 to October 31, 2009 on M6. The line has since become a staple of the series’ quotes.
