true fact: it stems from an expression from the 16th century, referring to an inexperienced porter. back then pretty much all cargo transfer was done by raw muscle, and the more seasoned (as well as muscular) harbor workers would taunt newcomers by suggesting they weren't capable of carrying their share. hence "get a load off this guy"

In memes this line is spoken by Ross from Friends. But what if Ross was a Persona 5 villain and you had to steal his sandwhich with the moist maker in it? And he reveals his true form?

street urchin pickpockets of london would refer to their target as "this guy". in the contemporary thief's cant someone's "load" meant whatever of value they currently carried on their person, so these charming little buggers would often tell each others to "get the load of this guy"

in all seriousness, the phrase derives from "get the lode of(f) this guy" in which "guy" refers to the guy wires that ancient people used to store lodestones. when a directional measurement needed to be made, the apprentice would be told to get the lodestone off of its storage wire and place it onto its floating measurement frame.

Some say this download is still out there, moving at an astronomically slow pace in a computer lost somewhere in the woods. Those that pass by said woods keep mentioning weird screeching sounds similar to the dialing tones of ancient phone-based modems. No one dares approaching this area. Bad 4G coverage, it turns out.
