35 memes from Netflix's 'You' that will give you serious trust issues
8 January 2019, 12:21
Everyone is obsessed with YOU and the memes are hilarious...
It may have come out in 2018 but YOU is already the breakout Netflix series of 2019. The psychological thriller originally aired on Lifetime in the US but has since moved to Netflix and now it's being binged all over the world. From its incredible cast (Penn Badgley, Elizabeth Lail and Shay Mitchell all star in it) to its terrifying plot line (it's about a stalker), fans are as obsessed with every single aspect of it.
Netflix's 'You' changed one major detail from book's original ending
The show follows Joe Goldberg (Penn), a bookstore manager with a mysterious past, who stalks Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth), a graduate student and aspiring writer. So far, so simple. Except Joe manages to orchestrate a relationship with Beck and, in the process, commits multiple horrifying acts. The series is so wild and gripping that it has officially broken the internet with memes.
From Beck's lack of curtains (so much of her drama could have been avoided with curtains) to THAT boat scene (think of the children), there are so many WTF moments in the show that it translates perfectly to being memed. With that in mind, we've scoured social media and gathered together 37 of the funniest, creepiest and help me I'm being stalked YOU memes all in one place for you.
1. Some people are already changing their New Year's resolutions.

An inspiration.

31. The moral of the story is not to go anywhere near Joe Goldberg or a Penn Badgley look-a-like.

— Gisselle (@Roseee_red) January 7, 2019
It's best to take precautions.
33. Or anything really.
Things @YouNetflix has ruined for me:
— Netflix US (@netflix) January 7, 2019
-books
-peaches
-windows that face the street
-windows in general, tbh
-the name “Joseph”
-clothes from the Charles Dickens era
-ceiling tiles
-my already tenuous ability to actually trust technology
That Charles Dickens episode was wild.
34. Still long live the memes.
me every time I'm scrolling and a #YouNetflix meme appears on my feed pic.twitter.com/MehJsA9JAx
— PopBuzz (@popbuzz) January 7, 2019
They are all iconic.
35. And bring on Season 2.
