    With Bridgerton already well on its way to becoming one of the most-watched Netflix original series of all time, it's safe to say that the world is obsessed with the show's enchantingly modernized portrayal of the Regency era "marriage market." Understandably so: It's simultaneously an escapist piece of period drama fluff, complete with mind-boggling updos and courtly intrigue, and a satisfying rewrite of a stodgy bygone era perhaps best known for the frustrating limitations it placed on anyone who wasn't a rich white man.

    Two centuries later, there's one thing we know to be true about the state of the world: Where there's a hit piece of pop culture, there's an influx of hilariously spot-on memes—and so far, the internet has not let us down. Bridgerton fans have flooded social media feeds with hilarious takes on everything from the characters' ridiculously perfect names to their historically-accurate-but-still-highly-worrisome naiveté about the birds and the bees.

    Here are 33 of the best we've seen so far.

    A very important thread:

    Every person on Bridgerton has the perfect name for a Pomeranian puppyDecember 29, 2020

    And very intense studies of one character in particular:

    Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, King of strong pull out game, Protector of all WAPs, Breaker of backs and the Defender of self pleasure... long may he reign! #Bridgerton pic.twitter.com/swgYjKCkWZJanuary 3, 2021

    Dear author, I fantasize about being the Duke’s spoon. Don’t tell Daphne. 🥄December 31, 2020

    #Bridgerton has done the most for spoons since ice cream.December 29, 2020

    I acknowledge that Bridgerton is problematic in multiple ways, absolutely... but also, I would like to audition to play The Spoon in season 2December 31, 2020

    I should believe "to spoon" now takes on quite a different meaning indeed. pic.twitter.com/KTmsDDlCJMDecember 29, 2020

    Eloise's investigative journey:
