Skeletons Fleeing Burning Paris Post Morocco vs France Match Meme
Dialogue
Overview
This humorous meme depicts an apocalyptic, riot-torn Paris street, with the iconic Eiffel Tower visible in the background surrounded by flames and dark purple smoke. Damaged buildings line the street, burning cars are scattered across the road, and multiple skeletons are shown running away from the chaos in fear. The left foreground skeleton has a speech bubble reading 'Did Morocco win or lose?', while a second skeleton running behind it replies 'I don't know bro, just run'. The meme exaggerates the real-world post-match unrest and rioting that occurred in French cities following the 2022 FIFA World Cup semi-final match between France and Morocco, joking that the resulting chaos was so severe that the match's outcome was irrelevant compared to the need to escape the violence.
Origin notes
This meme originates from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, shared as an RSS feed entry with the original title 'Today after the match scenario'. It references the December 2022 FIFA World Cup semi-final between France and Morocco, after which widespread rioting, vandalism, and clashes with police were reported in Paris and other French locations. The meme uses a popular apocalyptic fleeing skeleton format to satirize the scale of the post-match disorder.
