Text content
Ladies and gentlemen, Frenchman Marcel Braud, the inventor of the forklift, has died at the age of 93. Press F foor honnor
Overview
A meme featuring a photograph of Marcel Braud, identified as the inventor of the forklift, standing next to a red forklift in a garage setting. Braud is wearing a blue suit with a red tie and smiling, with one hand resting on the forklift's tire. The accompanying text announces his death at age 93 and includes the internet slang phrase 'Press F foor honnor' (with intentional typos 'foor' and 'honnor' instead of 'for' and 'honor'), referencing the meme tradition of 'Press F to pay respects.'
Origin notes
The image originates from the social media platform 9Gag, where it was likely created by a user by adding text to a photograph of Marcel Braud. The photograph appears to be a genuine image of Braud, possibly from a professional or promotional context, repurposed here with a humorous and tribute-oriented caption. The intentional typos in 'foor' and 'honnor' are likely for comedic effect, a common trait in internet memes.
