In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Piscina capouta” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 5370 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 “Piscina capouta” meme mean?
The phrase echoes François Damiens’s deliberately rough imitation of Spanish in the sketch. It points to a pool that is unavailable, or to a trip that has not gone as planned. More broadly, people can use it humorously when an anticipated amenity or enjoyable activity is out of action. That wider use is an interpretation of the meme; the source does not explicitly document established usage rules.
Where does the “Piscina capouta” meme come from?
The meme comes from a hidden-camera sketch featuring François Damiens as a travel agent. He describes a Spanish hotel to a customer, despite its pool being under renovation, then calls the hotel while putting on an approximate Spanish accent. During the call, he repeats a phrase heard as “Caputa piscina!” and “Piscina caputa!” The sketch is titled “François l’embrouille – L’Agent de voyage.” The available source does not identify the original programme, the first broadcast platform, or the filming or initial release date. A consulted page bears the date January 1, 2015, but that does not establish when the hidden-camera segment was made or first shown.
How to use the “Piscina capouta” meme
- Announce that the hotel pool is closed during a holiday.
- React jokingly when a planned outing is cancelled because the facility is out of order.
