In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Pierre Niney as Thomas Pesquet” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 2082 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3512 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Pierre Niney as Thomas Pesquet” meme mean?
The meme celebrates an impression so committed that it breaks the room. It stands for the art of holding a character with absolute calm while everyone around you falls apart. People use it to praise a comic performance played completely straight, to describe someone improvising with disarming confidence, or to say a scene has already entered comedy-show legend. Posting the clip also works as a wink: it instantly recalls the no-laughing contest and a well-known actor playing an astronaut.
Where does the “Pierre Niney as Thomas Pesquet” meme come from?
The clip comes from LOL: Qui rit, sort!, the French edition of a comedy format in which comedians try not to laugh, streamed by Amazon Prime Video France. In episode 5 of season 3, actor Pierre Niney impersonates Thomas Pesquet, the French European Space Agency astronaut. The scene was uploaded to YouTube as “Pierre Niney est Thomas Pesquet” and later folded into best-of compilations of the actor’s moments on the show. A Demotivateur video also covers how Pesquet himself answered the impression. Since then the extract has circulated as a clip, a screenshot and a shared reference in French group chats.
