In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “No no José!” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 2680 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3511 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “No no José!” meme mean?
The line plays on sound: “Que se pasó?” (“what happened?” in Spanish) slides into “Old El Paso”, a Tex-Mex food brand, all wrapped in a mojito and a first name thrown out as a refusal. It expresses cheerful absurdity and a love of puns. People use it when something goes wrong, to comment on a blunder with exaggeration, or to get a laugh by mimicking a made-up Spanish accent.
Where does the “No no José!” meme come from?
The words come from a clip posted on YouTube under the title “Que se paso ? Old el paso ? No no jose” by the channel Même D’internet a few years ago. The bit combines a “No no José”, a mojito and two puns on “Que se pasó” and “Old El Paso”. The comedy lies in the cascade of sounds that rhyme for no reason, which makes the line easy to remember and recite. Other creators later reused it in short edits.

- Reply “No no José!” when a friend makes an obvious blunder.
- Post “Que se pasó? Old El Paso?” under a photo of a ruined meal.
