In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Mr harissa” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 1855 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Mr harissa” meme mean?
Harissa is a chilli paste popular in North African cooking, known for its heat. The meme captures the instant the burn hits, with a long, theatrical whine. People post it after a mouthful of overly hot sauce, but also for an uncomfortable situation or a remark that hurts. The voice does all the work: the longer the “i”, the worse the burn seems.
Where does the “Mr harissa” meme come from?
The card boils the meme down to a single line, “Ça piiiiqueeeee”, attributed to Mr Harissa, a man who has tasted harissa and complains about its strength in a stretched-out voice. The format is that of any short exaggerated reaction: a brief tasting scene, a complaint that drags on, then clips shared in group chats. The character's name simply points to the food causing the burn.

The reprint of the “Mr harissa” card
The “Mr harissa” card was reprinted as Epic (No. 2,920). 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.
