Note: This material contains spoilers for season 8 of the show "Love Island".
If you had told me two days ago – before Love Island season 8 aired – that I would be laughing hysterically over a man standing by an empty door, I simply couldn't have imagined it.
Peacock
But alas, the meme of the islander looking completely miserable when he opens the door to reveal nothing behind it, all because he said he loves plants, has taken over the internet, and the flow of jokes is simply off the charts.
Peacock
On the topic: The latest episode of Euphoria was even more raunchy than the last—here's a full recap of the most shocking moments.
Let me explain all this in detail.
Peacock
In the first episode of the American show Love Island, the first group of singles played a compatibility game. Host Ariana Madix asked a question, and the contestants stood behind the door corresponding to their answer. Women stood behind one side of the door, and men behind the other.
Peacock
Of course, this is Love Island. So, the contestants who chose the same answer opened the door and started kissing to test their compatibility. Incidentally, this was the first challenge of the season.
Peacock
When asked whether they preferred dogs, cats, or plants, most single people gathered at the door in search of cute and furry friends. Except for one guy.
Peacock
On topic: Sorry, but this time-limited 80s TV show quiz only applies to people born between 1961 and 1979.
There's always a guy like that.
Peacock
Casey, a nurse's assistant from Fresno, California, chose the door with the plant because he thought he was doing something cool and unexpected.
Peacock
But when he came to open the door to meet his chosen ones, there was not a single soul there who wanted to kiss him.
Peacock
Shock, horror, and genuine embarrassment were written all over Casey's face. "I chose the door with the plant. I thought I was being flamboyant and all," he said. "I thought women liked plants! No, man. That wasn't the best decision. It was too much, no, it was really awkward.".
Peacock
On topic: Only those who regularly watched Disney Channel after school will be able to guess these songs from "High School Musical" from one screenshot.
This is Love Island, after all, so given all the unexpected plot twists and "connection hunting" that goes on on the show, Casey will be fine. But when he finally gets his phone back after Love Island ends, he'll be in for a whole bunch of memes and jokes like these:
