The **"Wat"** meme originates from a viral image of an elderly woman with a confused expression, taken from a **2011** episode of the documentary series *People's Century*. The image was first popularized on **Reddit** and **4chan**, where users paired it with the misspelled caption **"wat"** (instead of "what") to emphasize confusion or disbelief in response to absurd or nonsensical statements. The meme quickly became a go-to reaction for bizarre internet posts, awkward situations, or surreal humor. Its simplicity and versatility made it widely recognizable, and despite newer reaction memes emerging, **"Wat"** remains a nostalgic classic in meme history.
