In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Technophobe” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 4011 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3493 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Technophobe” meme mean?

People use “technophobe” to tag someone fighting with an app, a phone or a remote, or to describe themselves jokingly when technology wins. The word carries affection: it mocks clumsiness without cruelty. In comments it also recalls the Cyprien sketch many viewers know, so the term slides easily from the sketch into daily life.

Where does the “Technophobe” meme come from?

The card points to the video “Technophobe” by the YouTuber Cyprien, which several channels re-upload or excerpt. The title carries the idea of a character who fears or distrusts everything technological. Users turned that title word into a comment tag and later into a collectible card reference. Edits that quote the sketch help the word travel well beyond the original upload.

How to use the “Technophobe” meme

  • When a parent cannot open an app: “Such a technophobe.”
  • Under a clip of someone talking to a microwave: “Technophobe, max level.”
  • To excuse a wrong tap: “Sorry, I’m a technophobe.”

How to get the “Technophobe” card

Every pack holds 5 meme cards, the first 3 of them Common; Technophobe 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 reprints of the “Technophobe” card

The “Technophobe” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 4,241) and Epic (No. 5,209). 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.
