The phrase "What the hell is even that?" originates from a viral internet meme related to a 2019 YouTube skit by McJuggerNuggets called "EVICTION DAY," part of his series "The Devil Inside." In this skit, a character named Psycho Dad is evicting partygoers from a shed, and another character named Tippy interrupts him with the calming phrase, "Daddy, chill." Psycho Dad reacts with confusion and frustration, saying, "What the hell is even that?!" This phrase is used humorously to express bewilderment or confusion about something unusual or inexplicable. The meme gained popularity particularly on TikTok in 2020, where people used "Daddy chill" and the follow-up "What the hell is even that?" in various funny contexts to mimic the original video exchange. The phrase captures a reaction of sheer bewilderment or disbelief at something odd or unexpected. So when someone says "What the hell is even that?" they are essentially expressing confusion or surprise about something that doesn’t make sense to them or looks strange.
