"Whaddya, whaddya" (1992)

[Jonathan Lighter]

Have no cites on this, though I certainly have heard it.  I always assumed it was a development of "Whaddaya doing [there / with that, you idiot] ?"

  I can't confidently date when I first heard it.  It could easily have been after 1992.

Early "Whaddya, whaddya" citations welcome. HDAS? Was this in some movie (as
Google Groups indicates)?
