In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Petit gregory” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 2093 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 “Petit gregory” meme mean?
The meme points to the pitch-black humour of a cult comedy. Mentioning petit Grégory means quoting a scene fans know by heart, a knowing wink between film buffs. It is said when ordering a round, when commenting on a drink of doubtful recipe, or to show that you share the same film culture. The comedy comes from the contrast between barroom cheer and the chilling world the scene belongs to, so it is best used with discernment among fans of dark cinema.
Where does the “Petit gregory” meme come from?
“Man Bites Dog” (“C’est arrivé près de chez vous”) is a black-and-white mockumentary directed by Rémy Belvaux, André Bonzel and Benoît Poelvoorde. Shown at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1992, it won the SACD prize at the Critics’ Week and was released in France on 4 November 1992. A film crew follows Ben, a charismatic, narcissistic serial killer played by Poelvoorde, and is gradually drawn into his crimes. According to Wikipedia, the film became a cult favourite and some of its lines entered francophone cinema heritage. The “p’tit Grégory” scene, in which Ben presents his cocktail, circulates as a clip on YouTube and feeds the meme.
