In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Quelle hémiliasson” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 2616 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3502 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Quelle hémiliasson” meme mean?

The phrase expresses theatrical shame, delivered in a sing-song accent that makes the complaint funny. It fits when a team loses badly, when a friend gets teased, or when an embarrassing moment happens. The playful spellings (“hémiliasson”, “imiliasson”) mimic the pronunciation heard in the clip. The feeling is humiliation shared by a whole group, never taken seriously: the tone is that of banter between friends.

Where does the “Quelle hémiliasson” meme come from?

The meme comes from a video largely spoken in a Congolese language and re-uploaded on YouTube under titles such as “meme congolais ‘quelle hémiliasson’ (quelle humiliation)” and “Quelle imiliasson – Vidéo Originale”. Internet users isolated the line, repeated in chorus, and turned it into a sound bite and a caption for edits. It then spread on Twitter and French-language meme channels, with musical remixes, until it became a well-known expression of the French-speaking web.
