What does the “TU-N'ES-QU'UN-JOUEEEEET” meme mean?

People use it to put a friend back in their place when they act like a hero or a star. The drawn-out “jouet”, as if yelled at full volume, gives an exasperated, comic and slightly cruel tone, that of Woody facing Buzz’s naivety. It mocks overconfidence, a gamer too sure of himself or a colleague inflating his importance. It can also be said fondly to someone acting too grand.

Where does the “TU-N'ES-QU'UN-JOUEEEEET” meme come from?

Toy Story is a 1995 American animated film directed by John Lasseter, the first fully computer-animated feature and Pixar’s first film for Disney. It follows Woody, a cowboy doll jealous of Buzz Lightyear, who replaces him as Andy’s favourite toy. In the French dub, the scene where Woody shouts “Tu n’es qu’un jouet !” has circulated on YouTube for years, under titles like “Toy Story – Tu n’es qu’un jouet en plastique” and dub comparisons between France and Quebec. The stretched spelling is an invention of internet users.
