Cabo Verde In My Heart Meme
Dialogue
Overview
This is a 3-panel reaction meme. In the first panel, a young schoolboy wearing a blazer stands in front of a classroom world map, points correctly at the location of Brazil on the map when asked "Where is Brazil?", and responds "Here". In the second panel, he correctly points to the location of France on the map when asked "Where is France?", again responding "Here". In the third panel, when asked "Where is Cabo Verde?", instead of pointing at the map, he places his hand over his chest above his heart, and still answers "Here", implying that the small, often overlooked African island nation of Cabo Verde is held close in his heart as an expression of national pride and affection for the country.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from an RSS feed of the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, with the original submitted title "Cabo Verde in my heart". It repurposes a widely circulated 3-panel meme template featuring a schoolboy correctly pointing to locations on a classroom map, with an edited third panel to deliver the wholesome punchline about affection for Cabo Verde.
![This is a 2-panel reaction meme using the well-known Mr Bean exam cheating scene template. In the first panel, the student sitting on the left is labeled 'Europe', focused on writing on his exam paper, while Mr. Bean sitting to his right is labeled 'Americans naming cities' and is sneakily glancing at Europe's paper. In the second panel, Europe looks up with an annoyed, surprised expression at Mr. Bean, who is caught looking, with text next to Mr. Bean reading '"New [City name]"'. The joke satirizes the common naming convention used for many United States cities, where the prefix 'New' is added to the name of an existing European city for newly established settlements, such as New York, New Orleans, New Hampshire, and New London.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/96/58/df/90/9658df90d3c4d5bf9899ba1e9a441daa.jpeg.webp)
