In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “"You Mean the Chaos Emeralds?"” is a rare card of the Memes World series 74, number 22049 of the collection, and the 11th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “"You Mean the Chaos Emeralds?"” meme mean?
The meme relies on extreme juxtaposition between the solemn tone of a US President and a sudden reference to a children's video game universe. It expresses pure absurdity, often used to abruptly interrupt serious conversations or introduce completely out-of-context elements into unexpected scenarios.
Where does the “"You Mean the Chaos Emeralds?"” meme come from?
The excerpt comes from the prologue of *Immortality Protocol Cy-Fox: Book 01*, a work written by Cy-Fox and posted on the Sonic Community forum on March 4, 2011. In this fictional scene, Barack Obama discusses officials after CERN tests before asking: "You mean the Chaos Emeralds?". The phrase remained obscure until the Twitter account @fanfiction_txt posted it isolated on April 30, 2013. This context-free spread turned the citation into an internet phenomenon, although the original text was later deleted from FanFiction.net.
