Where does the “What Are You Waiting For?” meme come from?
Contrary to occasional confusion with Inside Out, the scene originates from Pixar’s animated movie The Incredibles, which debuted in the United States on November 5, 2004. In the sequence, Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) notices a young neighbor watching him from a tricycle and asks, “What are you waiting for?” The boy answers that he is waiting for “something amazing,” leading Bob to quietly reply, “Me too, kid.” The exchange was eventually captured as a multi-panel screencap. A documented early share of this template appeared on Reddit on November 11, 2016, submitted by user paul_18 to the r/me_irl community, turning the scene into a relatable internet staple.
