The 'I Would Like to See the Baby' meme originates from the Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian, specifically from the first season's premiere episode in 2019. The line is delivered by The Client, a mysterious Imperial character portrayed by legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog, as he expresses his impatient desire to see the child known as Grogu (famously dubbed Baby Yoda). The contrast between Herzog’s intense gravitas and the adorable subject matter made the scene an instant viral hit. Today, the meme is widely used to express a polite but firm demand to see anything considered precious or highly anticipated, such as new puppies, newborn babies, or even reveal trailers for video games.
