About

"Can I Get Uhhh" is a catchphrase meant to parody the indecisiveness customers display while attempting to order at a fast food restaurant. Online, the phrase has been associated with prank videos or used as a copypasta. Variations of the meme feature elements of Understandable, Have a Nice Day and Boneless Pizza

Origin

Aside from being a common expression used in human speech, "can I get uhhh" first appeared online on YouTube. On October 5th, 2009, YouTuber kehayes99 posted a video of a man ordering from a fast food drive thru window.

Spread

Three years later, the YouTube account posted a video called "Drive Thru – Uhhhh." Much like the 2009 video, "Drive Thru – Uhhhh" is a prank video in which subject keeps saying "let me get uhhh" every time he is asked for his order.
