In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Shrek moustachu” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 4758 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3497 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Shrek moustachu” meme mean?

The meme plays on how well everyone knows Shrek, bent by a single hairy addition. People use it to mock a fake-distinguished look, to illustrate a suspicious face or to go with a deliberately absurd message. Mixing a kids’ movie character with an incongruous detail gets an easy smile.

Where does the “Shrek moustachu” meme come from?

Shrek is a fictional ogre created by American author and cartoonist William Steig, protagonist of his book and then of a series of DreamWorks Animation films and a musical, according to the encyclopedia. In the films he is voiced by Mike Myers. His name comes from a Yiddish word meaning “fear”. The card takes this well-known silhouette and adds a moustache, and its description cites no precise source. The edit circulates within the large family of Shrek memes.

How to use the “Shrek moustachu” meme

  • Commenting on a friend growing a moustache: “Shrek moustachu.”
