In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “We’re just showing up” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 2489 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3494 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “We’re just showing up” meme mean?
The expression announces that someone is present for show only: no effort, no result expected, just being there. The follow-up, “that’s not bad already”, turns that minimum into a small victory with a weary kind of humor. People use it for a dreaded meeting, an outing with coworkers, a class half-followed, or a team that only aims not to lose too badly. It suits anyone who has ever pretended to be motivated.
Where does the “We’re just showing up” meme come from?
The formula belongs to everyday French, where “faire acte de présence” means showing up without really taking part. It became a meme when the phrase “On fait acte de présence, rien de plus” was picked up in French-language videos, notably competition commentary, and then paired with the line “c’est déjà pas mal”. Users adopted it as a caption to illustrate minimal motivation. It now circulates in captions, edits and reactions to events where people simply show up.

The reprint of the “We’re just showing up” card
The “We’re just showing up” card was reprinted as Epic (No. 5,240). 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.
