get a load of

Take a gander

Get a load of is an informal imperative urging someone to look at or listen to something remarkable—often something absurd, impressive, or worthy of attention: Get a load of this guy, Get a load of what she just said.

The phrase frequently carries a note of disbelief, mockery, or amused surprise at what's being pointed out.
