In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Qu'est-ce que tu fais ? Mais c'est un lapin” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 2239 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3514 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Qu'est-ce que tu fais ? Mais c'est un lapin” meme mean?

The line voices disbelief mixed with indignation at an incongruous act, here kissing a rabbit the way one would kiss a person. It is used to react to absurd behaviour, over-the-top affection towards a pet, or anyone crossing the line of reason. The casual “tu”, the slang “mon sang” (literally “my blood”, like “bro”) and the verb “galocher” (to French-kiss) give the scene a warm, offbeat tone. The dominant feeling is comic astonishment.

Where does the “Qu'est-ce que tu fais ? Mais c'est un lapin” meme come from?

The line comes from a short clip in which one person reacts live to a friend kissing a rabbit: “C’est un lapin. Tu es fou, mon sang, ou quoi ? Tu le galoches carrément. Tu l’embrasses.” The affectionate slang “mon sang” softens the scolding. The passage spread on social media, where the sentence became a reference for absurd humour. It was reused to caption animal videos, edits and comments about affection taken a bit too far.
