It's felt like an eternity since Netflix's The Witcher series was announced, but the show finally dropped on December 20th - to mixed reviews. The eight episode fantasy series is based on the books by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, and has already been picked up for a second season despite middling reception. We found the show to be a fun enough way to avoid family this Christmas, and are delighted to see that the series has inspired a ton of amazing memes, many of which feature hunky Henry Cavill looking like he's cosplaying Legolas. Here are our favorites.

As the weekend comes to a close, we want to make sure you've made the most of it. That doesn't mean reading and rereading the Iowa Democratic caucus results. It doesn't mean spending quality time with your family. It means taking the time to exercise your scrolling muscles by perusing some quality memes. And we've got them right here.
As creepy themes go, Netflix's You really goes for the gold. Last year Penn Badgley (who plays Joe Goldberg) even lamented the sheer volume of women who had the hots for his stalker-y murderer of a character. This year, following the release of the show's second season, people are channeling that creepiness into some seriously funny memes about obsessive relationships. While we're willing to bet none of you are actually killing or stalking people, it's easy to investigate social media to a point where you actually relate to some of these memes. Just don't take it too far.
Getting that "too many users" message on Netflix is always frustrating. It's even more frustrating when you have to track down all the people you've given that damn password to. Is it your ex streaming anime trash? Your cousin? Your mom's friend Stella who has a crush on Anthony Bourdain (RIP?). The list is daunting. When this woman started receiving emails that account was being accessed, she figured it had to be her ex. She was wrong.
After close inspection, our hero discovered that the culprits were in Lahore, Pakistan. To add insult to injury, there were too many people using her account for her to stream her own media. So she changed her password. After making the liberating change, one of the Pakistani men who had been using her account actually reached out in the hopes of acquiring her new one.
Fat. Chance.
Life seems to be veering to normalcy after the exhausting near-month of holidays and their respective festivities. It's actually quite relieving. No more family obligations.Just sweet, sweet, responsibility. And the structured amount of free time (weekend) that comes with our increasingly attractive 9-5 work schedule. These dumb memes might help you to get back in the swing of actually enjoying yourself.
The internet is going crazy for the Netflix series The Witcher, and anyone who's seen the show will understand why. If you have yet to watch it, these memes might make you want to get on that a little quicker.

You don't have to have binge-watched The Witcher to enjoy these memes about Geralt, who is played by the arguably bland hunk Henry Cavill.The book and video game character saying the f-word has become Reddit's new favorite meme. And since "f*ck" can be used in myriad ways, the format has proved to be extremely versatile. If you find yourself wanting more of a melange of Witcher memes, you can check out our big dump right here.
We're in peak late-stage capitalism, folks, and there's never been a better time for ridiculous and almost cringey content. Earlier last week Netflix changed the game when they asked fellow brands to share things that people can say during sex AND if they're a brand twitter account. The responses are predictably wild, and endlessly entertaining. We had no idea brands were so naughty.
Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, and now Disney+? Sometimes more choices are not necessarily a good thing. Disney just ditched Netflix and came out with its own streaming service this week and the internet is pretty divided on where they stand with it.
Now instead of paying one flat fee for a multitude of TV shows and movies on one streaming service, you can pay a bunch of little fees for a million different companies who don't give a sh*t about you! And predictably, those costs add up.
Our solution to all of this? Don't pay for any of them! For legal reasons we can't tell you to pirate anything, so we won't.
Anyway, take a little stroll through the following memes and tweets that roast the stupid number of streaming services available to us now.
Swedish grapbic designer Viktor Hertz has a real knack for making us feel bad about our tech addictions and spending habits. His creative, albeit slightly preachy "honest logos"hit us, and the brands they mock, where it hurts. Here's some of what we find to be his best work - you can view more of his awesome on his personal website.
While some people were celebrating the 4th of July with fireworks, barbecues, and cold beer, other people were binge watching the freshly released third season of Stranger Things. Nothing screams 'Murica quite like shutting yourself in with some air conditioning and television. We're okay with that.
There are only so many ways to waste time. One of our favorite ways to procrastinate is by pretending to watch Netflix or Hulu and then paying absolutely zero attention to the show and scrolling through memes. Try to pay enough attention to the show so that you don't have to ask any potential viewing partners what's happening.
