In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Vous avez de la chance” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 4051 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3498 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Vous avez de la chance” meme mean?

The sentence is deliberately false: you say it to someone who just had an accident, a flop or a twist of fate, to point at their bad luck with a smile. It works as friendly irony and as a nod to fans of French comedy. Used the other way round, it can congratulate a person who miraculously gets away with it, with the same hint that it will not last.

Where does the “Vous avez de la chance” meme come from?

The channel Pseudosaurus rex posted a clip titled “La Chèvre (1981) | Pierre Richard : « Vous avez de la chance… »”, which carries the line. La Chèvre is a 1981 French comedy built around François Perrin, Pierre Richard’s character who cannot catch a break. Other clacyr videos revolve around the hero’s misfortune, from the chair scene to other moments that became cult. The card keeps the sentence as a symbol of that tragicomic tone and turns it into a ready-made reply to other people’s troubles.
