In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Pierre? Present!” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 2152 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Pierre? Present!” meme mean?

The line takes the school roll call and turns it into a childlike game: a name is called, the person answers “présent”, and the long rolled “rrr” gives it a caveman feel. People use it to start a roll call in a group, to imitate the film in a voice note, or to set up a repeat gag. The meme rests on the scene’s absurd tone and on the rolled r that became its signature.

Where does the “Pierre? Present!” meme come from?

Rrrrrrr!!! is a prehistoric comedy directed by Alain Chabat, released in France, Belgium and French-speaking Switzerland on 28 January 2004. Two neighbouring Stone Age tribes clash, one of them holding a shampoo formula. Clips posted on YouTube, including roll-call, introduction and phone scenes, turned many lines into everyday quotes, among them “Pierre? Présent!” with the rolled “rrr” as opener.
