In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “WILSON!” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 3982 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 “WILSON!” meme mean?
The phrase is used to exaggerate an apology or a sudden attachment to someone or something during a crisis, usually with a comedic edge. People reference it to comment on a moment where someone shows unexpected affection for an animal or an object in the middle of a disaster or panic, in a tone that is both dramatic and endearing.
Where does the “WILSON!” meme come from?
The clip comes from amateur footage filmed during flooding, where a man records the rising water around his home while addressing his rooster, named Wilson, whom he appears about to lose. The contrast between the seriousness of the situation and the affection shown toward the animal, through loudly shouted apologies, made the clip instantly recognizable and shareable. The scene later spread across Spanish-language and then international social media, referenced on sites dedicated to viral content, before being turned into a collectible card under this name.

The reprint of the “WILSON!” card
The “WILSON!” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 4,269). 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.
