In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “My favourite side characters” is a common card of the Permanent Edition French Twitch Memes Season 1, number 6 of the collection, and the 63rd 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 “My favourite side characters” meme mean?
The line flips the pecking order: whoever thinks they are the lead gets reminded they are an extra. It stays affectionate, because “favourite” softens the blow, yet it stings just enough to deflate a big head. People use it to bring a bragging friend back down, to answer someone who treats the evening as their personal movie, or to tease a group by casting yourself as the narrator. The contrast between the disguised jab and the sincere compliment is what makes it land: you laugh, you take the hit, and you enjoy the video-game flavour of main characters and supporting roles.
Where does the “My favourite side characters” meme come from?
The scene comes from a Twitch stream by Antoine Daniel dated 15 April 2023, later uploaded as a clip titled “Horty a la grosse tête mais Antoine est là pour la ramener sur terre”. Born in 1989, Daniel started on YouTube with the show What The Cut !? (2012 to 2015) before moving to Twitch in 2018, where he became one of the most followed French streamers. Horty, a streamer and video maker, appears alongside him in that stream. In the clip she grows confident, and Antoine reins her in with a single sentence that casts her as a supporting character, though a favourite one. Viewers then reused the line in comments and edits.
