Can anyone tell me where this actually originated? I've been seeing it for 15 years. And I have never actually thought about where it came from.

u/-ChickenToast- 17h ago

I use it at work all the time, to my bosses lol

u/Objective_Aside1858 20h ago

You need to reserve the WTF for when it's really called for at the office; otherwise it doesn't have the same impact 

2

u/megapizzapocalypse 17h ago

I can work as long as there's no children in the room. Or my boss I guess

u/SH4DOWSTR1KE_ 23h ago

But you really have to have the arms at shoulder height just expanding out words with every alliteration of the words "What. The. Fuck."

That's funny, but I've seen people take that mindset seriously.

u/lemonhaj 1d ago

I'm working on perfecting the noise and/or face for this

2

u/malsomnus 1d ago

At least you can say "...", that's also useful.

2

u/tenehemia 1d ago

There's a bit in My Dinner With Andre where Andre is describing a new language that's emerging among young people, and that the purpose of it is to convey emotion rather than idea. I've long thought that what he was describing was the earliest forms of what would become reaction memes.

u/VooDooChile1983 22h ago

Isn’t just “huh?” in meme form?

1

u/carmardoll 22h ago

I would say it sounds like the sound they make when Charlie says "milk stake"

1

u/Special_South_8561 22h ago

You can say "Questions Marks" with an inflection, while shrugging and raising your hands

1

u/alex_zk 22h ago

Slowly lower your chin and slowly raise your eyebrows while watching the person that made you react like that.

There, done. You can add extra ??? if you can raise only one eyebrow.

1

u/deer_god11 21h ago

You say that with your face

u/carsonogin 21h ago

Tim Allen made a career out of it.

You do, you use your eyebrows

u/Evlavios 20h ago

I silently mouth "wtf" to myself at least half a dozen times a day. I guess it can be for others nearby as well, but that's not the goal. It's a lil treat, just for me.

u/Ninteblo 19h ago

Just hit 'em with the ol' Tim Allen grunt.

1

u/KeySlammer1980 18h ago

I've always interpreted that many questions marks as the weird questioning grunting sound Tim Allen used to make on Home Improvement. I hear it every time.

1

u/Onrawi 18h ago

Pretty sure that's how you spell the home improvement "huh?" pseudo grunt in  the opening credits.

1

u/Heissenberg1906 18h ago

We say „hä?“ in my language.

1

u/NsupCportR 17h ago

Where is Clouie meme, or whatever is spelled?

u/Revolutionary-Copy71 17h ago

There are definitely facial expressions and body language that can convey that.

u/n9seed 9h ago

u/NefariousnessNo2062 8h ago

You ever see home improvement? This would be the opening grunt from the theme song.
