In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Pu-puce” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 2476 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 “Pu-puce” meme mean?

Pu-puce sums up a fully embraced schoolyard humour: a word that sounds like a noise or a pet name, dropped with a serious tone, that is funny precisely because it is dumb. People use it to answer an absurd situation, defuse an awkward moment, or wink at fellow fans of the YouTuber. It expresses self-mockery and the pleasure of laughing at almost nothing. It shows up in comments, in replies, or out loud among friends who know the reference.

Where does the “Pu-puce” meme come from?

AD Laurent, whose real name is Adrien Laurent, is a French YouTuber who publishes entertainment videos, podcasts and interview formats on his channel. The card presents Pu-puce as a classic of his repertoire: a wordplay joke that his subscribers picked up in clips and edits. The phrase travels mostly as short videos and comments, which helped turn it into a shared reference for his community.

  • Reply “pu-puce” to a deliberately bad joke.
  • Post the word in the comments under an AD Laurent video.
  • Slip it into a chat between fans to trigger a laugh.

How to get the “Pu-puce” card

Every pack holds 5 meme cards, the first 3 of them Common; Pu-puce comes out of the Memes FR pack as a rare card. The pack odds say what each rarity weighs.

Your first pack is free and needs no account. After that a new free pack lands every 10 minutes, up to 3 waiting for you. You can also buy the card with MemeCoins on the market, bid for it at auction, or trade it — and a double recycles into 10 MemeCoins.

The reprint of the “Pu-puce” card

The “Pu-puce” card was reprinted as Epic (No. 3,883). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was rare. Its face reads “Reprinted card · Higher rarity”.

Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.

MyMemeCards reprints a meme when it deserves more than the rarity of its first printing, such as a classic that became iconic after it came out: the reprint gives it a place among the most sought-after cards without taking anything from the players who already had it.
