In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Easy open” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 1278 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3495 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Easy open” meme mean?

The meme expresses the comic frustration of an everyday object that promises ease and ends up beating its user. People use it when a biscuit packet, a jar or a carton refuses to open, or to comment on misleading instructions. The irony lies in the gap between the reassuring label and the struggle that follows. Seb’s humour, halfway between held-back anger and bad faith, does the rest.

Where does the “Easy open” meme come from?

The meme comes from a sequence of Joueur du Grenier, the retro-gaming video series created in September 2009 by Frédéric Molas and Sébastien Rassiat, known as Seb. In the clip, Seb tries to open a milk carton labelled as easy to open and cannot, contradicting the promise printed on the pack. The moment was reposted under the title “JDG Ouverture facile pas si facile” and reused in edits. Seb, who mostly worked off-camera in the early episodes, later became one of the show’s faces.
