The “Ah bah, tu ne le verras plus” meme, 2012

In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Ah bah, tu ne le verras plus” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 900 of the collection, and the 713th best-known meme of its 869 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Ah bah, tu ne le verras plus” meme mean?

The phrase announces a permanent disappearance in an almost friendly tone. It is used when someone leaves a job, a team or a group, or to declare a subject closed and never coming back. It is funny because it is gentle: no frontal attack, just an observation handed to a child, with the jab arriving underneath where nobody can hold it against you.

Where does the “Ah bah, tu ne le verras plus” meme come from?

The exchange was filmed in 2012 during the presidential campaign, on a visit to the Paris farm show, an obligatory stop for French politicians. Francois Hollande, then a candidate, talks with a child who says he has never seen Nicolas Sarkozy, the sitting president; he replies that the child will not be seeing him any more. The press picked the line up immediately, the internet kept it, and it long outlived the election that produced it. It now circulates detached from its context, as a ready-made way of announcing a departure with no return, in any field at all. Its shape helps: a short sentence, delivered without aggression, that fits whole inside a comment box.
