In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Excuse Me?” is a rare card of the Permanent Edition French Twitch Memes Season 1, number 18 of the collection, and the 20th best-known meme of its 78 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Excuse Me?” meme mean?

“Plait-il ?” is a very polite, almost theatrical way to say “pardon?”. Set beside a streamer’s involuntary noises, this castle-style vocabulary becomes irresistible. People use it to react with mock dignity to an awkward moment, to cut short an embarrassing scene, or to tease a friend who just let out an inappropriate sound. The meme relies on the contrast between formal language and a trivial situation, and on the chat’s reaction, which explodes as soon as the clip is quoted.

Where does the “Excuse Me?” meme come from?

Anyme023, whose real name is Maxence Turlot, is a French web video maker, streamer, singer and rapper born on 3 May 2003. He launched his Twitch channel in May 2024 and became one of the most-watched French-language streamers in 2025. In March 2024, a clip from one of his lives went viral on TikTok, bringing him over 200,000 followers in a week. Funny extracts of his streams spread widely across social media, and the “Plait-il ?” sequence settled into that flow as a chat reference.
