About

Itteh Bitteh Kitteh Committeh pictures rose to popularity on Icanhascheezburger and is a spin on the age-old phrase "itty bitty titty committee"; a term which has long been used as a comical yet degrading term referring to women with small busts. However, the similarity ends with the phrasing, as the images are generally of a non-sexual nature.

Origin

On March 2, 2008, the picture "teh itteh bitteh kitteh committeh" was posted on icanhascheezburger, the lolcat site. The picture is of a man holding many kittens in his arms, all squished together in a group. The earliest time that picture was posted on the internet is believed to be from the Russian website muhom.org, labeled as "Kittens wholesale." The picture was dated October 30, 2006. However, the picture used for the captioned image is from Funnyjunk (as seen in the bottom right-hand corner of the picture.) The caption "teh itteh bitteh kitteh committeh" is lolspeak for "The itty bitty kitty committee". The picture was very well-received, and variations flowed forth.

Derivatives

However, some people still use the itteh bitteh kitteh committeh in their pictures, i.e. the word "kitteh" is not replaced by anything, such as this picture below. Many other images have been made.
