In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Trois frères” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 2016 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3495 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Trois frères” meme mean?
The line is a shameless brag: whoever says it declares themselves better looking than everyone else, with no modesty at all. People use it jokingly, to pay themselves an over-the-top compliment or to tease a friend who thinks highly of their own looks. The humour comes from the gap between the swagger and reality. The French slang word in the original, “rebeu”, is verlan for a person of Arab descent; in the meme, the sentence works mainly as a cry of bravado, taken in the spirit of banter between friends.
Where does the “Trois frères” meme come from?
The card’s title points to Les Trois Frères, a French film released in December 1995. It was co-directed by Didier Bourdon and Bernard Campan, co-written with Michel Lengliney, and stars Bourdon, Campan and Pascal Légitimus as three half-brothers who have never met and expect to inherit their mother’s money. A codicil deprives them of the sum, and they end up caring for Didier’s young son Michaël amid a string of mishaps. A widely quoted comedy in France, it left many lines that people still trade in conversation. The caption sits in that tradition: a short phrase delivered with comic assurance, which web users clip, caption and rework.

The reprint of the “Trois frères” card
The “Trois frères” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 2,720). 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.
