AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The "Whatcha Got There" meme features a scene from the American TV series iCarly, where character Spencer Shay is holding an unusual item — in this case, an ostrich. The meme captures the moment when Spencer misinterprets a question about the ostrich he just bought, thinking the question refers to what he's drinking instead. This image is commonly used to humorously illustrate someone attempting to divert attention or misdirect a question.

OriginWho did it first?

The meme originates from an episode of iCarly titled "iMeet Fred", which first aired on February 16th, 2009. In this episode, a character named Spencer Shay purchases an ostrich, named Marvin, and brings it to his apartment. When his sister inquires about it, Spencer humorously misinterprets her question as being about his drink, not the large bird standing next to him. The episode was broadcast on Nickelodeon and you can view a relevant clip from the episode here.^[1]
