As stated previously by Aidan Williamson:
An expression of great confusion, or bewilderment; A strong demand for answers; An emphasized version of "what is that?"
Used in the same way as "What the Hell?" is used. Variations can be used, e.g. "What in The Nine Hells is that thing?"
However, the origin is not, as he said, Forgotten Realms; it is an allusion made to Dante's Infreno, from the Divine Comedy. In the Divine Comedy, Hell is divided into nine circles, each one representing a different sin or crime.
The nine circles span from Limbo (for those who have committed no great sins, but are not admitted into Heaven because they do not believe in God), to the ninth circle where Satan himself resides (a circle reserved for people who have been treasonous against friends, family, and their nation.)

"What duh hell-" is another way of saying "What the hell", just more exaggerated as the L's in "hell" are usually spammed.
"What duh hell" originates from a TikTok video of a person going up to strangers and reviewing their shoes, with them typically being off-brand.
The joke itself is meant to be an "over exaggerated" reaction to what is an off-brand version of a shoe brand, typically being Jordans.
The sentance is usually used as a response to something weird. The meme is also commonly used as a background audio in videos that are similar to shit post videos.
