In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Oh my God Catastrophique” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 1577 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3499 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Oh my God Catastrophique” meme mean?
The expression plays on the contrast between a theatrical “Oh my God” and the grave, drawn-out “catastrophique”. It dramatises small annoyances: a delayed train, a message sent to the wrong person, a missed shot. The comedy comes from the emphasis and the language mix, which gives the phrase a recognisable rhythm. People drop it in comments, say it aloud among friends or caption edits with it to signal, tongue in cheek, that things are officially a disaster, even when they are not.
Where does the “Oh my God Catastrophique” meme come from?
The meme comes from remarks by Hassen Chalghoumi, a well-known figure in French public debate. According to Wikipedia, he was born in Tunis on 5 September 1972, is the imam of Drancy and chairs the Association culturelle des musulmans de Drancy, which runs the Al-Nour mosque. In the clip behind the meme he talks about languages and lets out the line “Oh my God catastrophique”, later picked out for its comic effect. As often happens, the sentence cut loose from its context, rather than the subject of the discussion, made the clip memorable: it is easy to repeat, fits into any conversation and suits sound edits. It is quoted lightly, with no link to the views of the person quoted.
