In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Tu es un laideron mais tu es bien bonne !” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 4414 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3501 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Tu es un laideron mais tu es bien bonne !” meme mean?

People use the sentence for a compliment that falls completely flat, a praise that backfires on whoever delivers it. It suits failed flirting, awkward remarks between friends or a biting “thanks”. The contrast between the coarse content and the affected politeness of medieval vocabulary creates the comedy. The card pairs it with “Merci la gueuse !”, another line from the same film that completes the scene.

Where does the “Tu es un laideron mais tu es bien bonne !” meme come from?

Les Visiteurs is a French comedy directed by Jean-Marie Poiré and released in 1993. A knight, Godefroy de Montmirail (Jean Reno), is thrown with his squire Jacquouille la Fripouille (Christian Clavier) from the 12th century to 1992. The film drew fourteen million viewers and topped the French box office that year. The scene with Ginette, whom Jacquouille meets, circulates on YouTube under titles such as “Les Visiteurs – Tu es un laidron, mais tu es bien bonne” (2016) or “Rencontre Ginette et Jacouille”, with Marie-Anne Chazel in the cast.
