In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Oui qui wikipedia” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 4489 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3502 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Oui qui wikipedia” meme mean?

The meme is a dry “oui qui?” with the word Wikipedia stuck on, turning the question into a dare: if this person really matters, show us the article. It brings down an overhyped celebrity, a one-day buzz or an obscure reference somebody drops in conversation. The tone is deadpan rather than vicious. Typed out, it works as a quick reply in a thread and needs no further explanation.

Where does the “Oui qui wikipedia” meme come from?

The line plays on a very common reflex of the French-speaking web: when an unfamiliar name appears, you ask “who?” and then check Wikipedia, the collaborative online encyclopedia. Merging both gestures into a single reply gave users a comic shortcut that is easy to copy into comments or pin under a picture. The phrase therefore turns up in many exchanges, well beyond a single video or community.

How to use the “Oui qui wikipedia” meme

  • A friend mentions an obscure streamer, and the answer lands: “Oui qui Wikipedia?”
