In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Professeur Cheh (Professor Chen)” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 2266 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3495 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Professeur Cheh (Professor Chen)” meme mean?
The meme packs a taunt into two syllables: “cheh” is thrown at someone who got what they deserved after a bad choice or a careless move. Linked to Professor Chen, the kindly old scientist of the Pokémon world, it creates an ironic figure handing out the lesson in a grandfatherly tone. People use it among friends after a predictable failure, a punished delay or a lost bet. The joke rests on the near-identical pronunciation of the two words and carries no real malice.
Where does the “Professeur Cheh (Professor Chen)” meme come from?
Professor Chen is the Pokémon scientist nicknamed the “Pokémon Prof”. He hands a first Pokémon, a Pokédex and Poké Balls to young trainers, and he is the grandfather of Gary, Ash’s rival. His name, almost identical to the French slang interjection “cheh”, inspired the twist: the character becomes “Professeur Cheh”, a figure who greets setbacks with a “you asked for it”. The pun spread through edited images and comments on French-speaking social networks.
