A clever combination of phrase and picture, used to express confusion

Summary

A combination of LOL and WUT, LOL WUT is a clever way to express bewilderment at an inane statement. LOL WUT has been a phrase longer than it has been a meme; simply adding LOL and WUT makes LOL WUT, but in 2007, this combination of words became associated with a surreal pear on DeviantArt.

“	Fruitiest meme EVAR	„
—MarvinLapsus, DeviantArt comment

The artist's response

“	Yes. I know. LOL WUT. Yes, yes. I'm aware. Really, I don't mind that y'all are havin' fun with the image*, the internet is a very silly place and all, but if you could make an effort to include a link to the original when you're posting it, I'd be really grateful.	„
—ursulav, responding to the popularity of LOL WUT
