MEME EXPLAINED -- MEANING AND ORIGIN

Get a Load of This Guy meme: meaning and origin

'Get a Load of This Guy': Netero's Hunter X Hunter Point Revives the Hand-gesture Meme meme

What it means

"Get a load of this guy" is a mocking reaction: you point at someone (usually with a thumb or a finger, often with a smirk) to invite everyone else to laugh at what they just said or did. Online it lives as reaction images and clips of characters making that pointing gesture. In November 2026 X users started trading their favorite examples of the gesture, and a Hunter x Hunter clip of Chairman Netero casually pointing Gon toward an enemy became the favorite.

Where it started

Know Your Meme traces the phrase to at least a 2007 Urban Dictionary entry and lists Wayne's World (1992), where Wayne points at Garth while laughing, as one of the earliest base images for the pointing reaction. KYM also notes a TikTok comment-section revival in mid-2025.

The November 2026 wave on X followed a November 8 post by @buhlesrevenge calling the gesture one of the top two hand gestures of all time (about 2.8 million views per X's public counts on November 10). Quote posts answered with their own examples; the biggest was @RogeeRoger's November 9 Netero clip captioned as the greatest "get a load of this guy" ever (about 864,000 views). Two X News stories covered the Netero version. Who first paired the Netero scene with the gesture hasn't been confirmed.

The original creator of this meme hasn’t been confirmed. This section states only what the linked sources show.
