Source: Family Matters

Speaker: Steve Urkel

Did I do that?

Context

This line is spoken by Steve Urkel, played by Jaleel White, in the TV show Family Matters (1989-1998).

Before he was a hunky dancing star, Jaleel White portrayed the nerd of the 90's, Steve Urkel, with his big glasses, high-water pants, and suspenders.

Nerds sure have come a long way. His most popular catchphrase (all 90's sitcoms were required by law to have one), uttered usually after damaging something beyond repair, is "Did I do that?"

Yes, Steve. You did, and everyone knows it.

Where you've heard it

Even though Family Matters was canceled long before memes became a thing, there are dozens of memes featuring Urkel's iconic phrase, including a problematic Obama version.
