Dikkenek - ou tu sors ou j'te sors (smashcure)

In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Tu sors ou je te sors” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1484 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3511 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Tu sors ou je te sors” meme mean?

The sentence offers a trivial choice in a threatening voice: leave, or be dragged out. The humour comes from the speaker's grandiose authority and from the follow-up, “you'll have to make a decision”, which turns an everyday moment into a dramatic dilemma. People use it to rush a friend who is dawdling, to dramatise a harmless choice such as the last slice of cake or an occupied bathroom, or to salute, as the card does, the comic talent of Belgian cinema.

Where does the “Tu sors ou je te sors” meme come from?

The line comes from Dikkenek, a Belgian-French comedy directed by Olivier Van Hoofstadt and released on 21 June 2006, with Luc Besson producing. It is delivered by Claudy Focan, played by François Damiens, a Brussels abattoir manager and amateur glamour photographer, a true “dikkenek”, Brussels slang for a pompous loudmouth. The film disappointed in cinemas, with about 122,871 admissions in France, before turning into a cult favourite through DVD sales. Its best-known scenes circulated on YouTube, including the bar and the phone-booth ones, and the line fed the memes.

The reprints of the “Tu sors ou je te sors” card

The “Tu sors ou je te sors” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 1,609) and Epic (No. 3,141). 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.
