Where does the “"So, on your feet!"” meme come from?
The meme originates from the first major campaign rally of Valérie Pécresse, a Republican candidate in the 2022 French presidential election. The event took place at the Zénith de Paris on February 13, 2022. During her speech, the candidate shouted "On your feet!" in a tone widely criticized as unnatural. The performance was heavily mocked for its lack of ease. The video clip quickly circulated online, isolating this specific gesture and words. Although the original call aimed at political mobilization around the theme "France standing up," internet users hijacked the phrase. They created satirical GIFs and edits, transforming this serious appeal into an object of collective derision.
