“Pub mycose” meme: meaning, origin and common card

What does the “Pub mycose” meme mean?

The meme recalls those ads that always land at the wrong moment: you sit down to eat and the screen shows damaged nails. It conveys awkwardness and laughter at poorly timed broadcasting, and more broadly weariness at spots repeated identically. People use it to comment on something showing up when it should not, or to tease a friend who raises an uncomfortable topic at the table. The feeling is amused disgust plus shared nostalgia for older television.

Where does the “Pub mycose” meme come from?

Several ads for nail fungus treatments ran on French television, often at mealtimes. Internet users uploaded recordings to YouTube, with some noting that one version played on repeat throughout an entire year. The repetition of those spots when people were eating turned into a running joke, shared as a common viewer memory: the image of a damaged nail turns up just as the plate hits the table. The card points to that heavily broadcast old commercial. The meme survives mostly through nostalgia for the television of the time and the discomfort it caused.

• Post a clip of the ad to comment on an awkward topic raised over dinner.

The reprint of the “Pub mycose” card

The “Pub mycose” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 3,249). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was common. 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.
