Relatable Meme About Saying What Right After Being Told Information
Text content
you can always rely on me to say “what” after i’m told anything at all
Overview
The meme consists of two parts: text positioned at the top of the image that reads "you can always rely on me to say “what” after i’m told anything at all", paired with a well-known reaction photo of actor Jerry Trainor portraying the character Spencer Shay from the Nickelodeon sitcom iCarly. Spencer is grinning widely with a playful, clueless expression, holding both of his hands raised to his sides in a shrugging, unknowing gesture. The joke is relatable to people who frequently fail to process what another person has just said to them, immediately asking for the information to be repeated even though it was just shared.
Origin notes
This meme uses a widely circulated reaction still of the Spencer Shay character from iCarly promotional material. It was shared as an RSS feed post from X.com (formerly Twitter) account @meme.jpg. The format of adding relatable text over this Spencer Shay reaction image is a common meme template that has been widely shared across social media platforms including X, Instagram, TikTok and Reddit since the 2010s, particularly for jokes about absentmindedness or cluelessness.
