Where does the “Wat Do?” meme come from?

The catchphrase originated on the anonymous boards of 4chan during the summer of 2009. It was not started by a specific individual, video, or broadcast, but arose through collective image macro posts featuring variations of the prompt “Walk in. See This. What Do?”. The intentional misspelling “wat” was already a staple of internet slang used to express shock. After gaining traction through 4chanarchive, the format spread across diverse online communities, including the BodyBuilding forums, Facepunch, MMO Champion, and Yahoo Answers.
