In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Va la bas” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 4577 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3502 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Va la bas” meme mean?

People use it to dismiss someone bluntly, often theatrically, when a person is in the way, comes too close or asks one question too many. It works aloud and in comments, with stretched vowels that mimic the original cry. Among friends it is an affectionate “leave me alone”; in videos it sets the rhythm of a punchline. Its success comes from brevity: three words and an arm gesture say it all.

Where does the “Va la bas” meme come from?

On YouTube, a channel named MSTR publishes an official clip called “Va La Bas”, and meme videos reuse the line under titles such as “MSTR - Va la bas (memes)” or “Va là-bas (meme)”. Another excerpt, “VA LA BAS AAAAAH”, zooms in on the cry that ends the sentence. The card gathers these uses: a song and edits that isolated the line so it could travel. The pages checked give no precise date for the cry’s first use, but the link to MSTR’s title is clear.

How to use the “Va la bas” meme

  • When a coworker asks for the third time if the coffee is ready: “Va là-bas!”

Your first pack is free and needs no account. After that a new free pack lands every 10 minutes, up to 3 waiting for you. You can also buy the card with MemeCoins on the market, bid for it at auction, or trade it — and a double recycles into 5 MemeCoins.

The reprint of the “Va la bas” card

The “Va la bas” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 5,160). 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.
