What does the “" Tchao,bonsoir "” meme mean?
The expression embodies a quirky farewell, mixing familiarity with critical distance. It often expresses the desire to close an exchange deemed useless, too long, or hypocritical, with a touch of French political satire cynicism. Users employ it to signal they are taking their leave, sometimes abruptly, while playing on the wordplay between “goodbye” and “good evening.” It serves as a clear signal of friendly or professional rupture, tinged with irony.
Where does the “" Tchao,bonsoir "” meme come from?
The phrase comes from Les Guignols de l’info, a satirical show broadcast on Canal+ since 1990. The puppet parodying Patrick Poivre d’Arvor, then a star presenter on TF1, pronounced this conclusion after summarizing the news in a caricatured manner. The gimmick fit into the tradition of French TV news, subverting the standard closing formula. Although the show began in 1988 under another name, it was under the title Les Guignols that the character became famous. The specific video identified as a major reference was uploaded to YouTube in August 2018, allowing for lasting digital virality long after the channel’s run.
