Nuance of 'testeur de courant' ('Current Tester')

The phrase testeur de courant literally means "tester of current." In French electrical slang, this refers to a device used to check if an electrical outlet is live. The humor in the meme comes from the fact that the object shown isn't a real tester at all—it's just a bent piece of copper wire, implying it will work because "it's made of copper," which ironically highlights the low quality or lack of actual function.
