What does the “"Oh, how strange!"” meme mean?
The meme conveys mocking irony towards situations deemed hypocritical or contradictory. By quoting his own past remarks, the subject appears to denounce an absurdity while inadvertently reproducing it. The dominant emotion is amused skepticism towards political stances perceived as clumsy or dishonest.
Where does the “"Oh, how strange!"” meme come from?
The phrase originates from Éric Zemmour during a broadcast on the news channel CNews in July 2020. In this video sequence, he waves sheets of paper and delivers his famous line. The exact source of the broadcast remains unknown to the general public. The meme gained new traction in May 2022. Zemmour then posted a self-referential tweet. He cited Jules Torres regarding arrests after the Champions League final at Stade de France. This action transformed the quote into a tool for ridicule. Internet users use the image of Zemmour waving his papers to point out logical inconsistencies in contemporary official or media discourses.
