In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Samos” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1707 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 “Samos” meme mean?
Comparing someone to Jacquouille la Fripouille is a way of teasing their smile through an image almost every French viewer knows. The card applies it to Samos: the joke lies in the film reference more than in real mockery. It tends to come out between friends, like an affectionate nickname, when a photo or video puts someone’s teeth in the spotlight. The tone stays light, since Jacquouille is a well-loved, cheeky and endearing character, which softens the comparison.
Where does the “Samos” meme come from?
Jacquouille la Fripouille is the squire of knight Godefroy de Montmirail in the Les Visiteurs film series. He is played by Christian Clavier and shows up in the first film, directed by Jean-Marie Poiré and released in France on 27 January 1993. He returns in Les Visiteurs 2: Les Couloirs du temps (1998) and in Les Visiteurs 3: La Révolution (2016). Thrown into the twentieth century with his master, he meets modern life with a medieval peasant’s reflexes, which produced scenes now counted among French comedy classics. His look, lines and faces are widely imitated online. The Samos card borrows that reference to describe a face by comparison with the character.

Every pack holds 5 meme cards, the first 3 of them Common; Samos comes out of the Memes FR pack as a common 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 5 MemeCoins.
The reprint of the “Samos” card
The “Samos” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 2,461). 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.
