The 'Hon Hon Hon' meme serves as the quintessential internet representation of a stereotypical French laugh. Often accompanied by imagery of striped shirts, berets, and thin mustaches, the phrase is used to mock or celebrate French cultural tropes. While its exact origin is rooted in vintage cartoons and slapstick comedy, it gained massive traction in online gaming communities, particularly through the Spy character in Team Fortress 2. Today, the meme is a versatile tool for reacting to anything remotely related to France, luxury bread, or mischievous schemes carried out with a European flair.
