Shortly after Netflix dropped season two of “You,” fans started having fun with it on Twitter.
From memes and jokes about Joe (Penn Badgley) and his “magical invisibility” hat to reactions to the season’s big twist ending, fans got creative with their tweets.
But one thing people couldn’t stop talking about is, of course, Joe’s glass box.
Here are some of the best dark and hilarious memes about it.
Warning: Spoilers for season two of "You" ahead.
Many fans were confused as to how Joe managed to get the box from New York to Los Angeles
On season one, the glass box is a temperature-controlled vault where Mooney's bookstore holds rare books.
But somehow during Joe's quick escape from New York to Los Angeles, California, he managed to perhaps disassemble the box, move it, and set it up in a storage unit without being caught by anyone.
The only explanation for the presence of the box in season two is a quick line by Joe in which he describes that it took longer to assemble it on his own than when he used to set it up with Mooney.
Ok so have we discussed how Joe moved to LA with little money but managed to rent an extra space and construct another huge ass glass prison box? pic.twitter.com/mtvVV29ozQ

Some fans joked about wanting to be inside the box
On season two, Joe forms a close friendship with one of his victims, Well Bettelheim. Together they eat meals, play hangman, and talk about life.
Partially because of this, some fans felt like being locked inside the glass box actually looked like a welcome escape from life - many took to Twitter to joke about how they'd actually like being locked in the box.

Many tweets mentioned the real Will Bettelheim, who bonds with Joe and is freed from the box
Out of all of the victims who have been held within Joe's glass box, Will Bettelheim is the only person to ever make it out alive. Joe voluntarily let Will go to prove to himself that he's a good person.
Will, played by actor Robin Lord Taylor, also became quite a fan-favorite and he appeared in a few hilarious tweets.

Some fans made jokes about when Joe was trapped in his own box
Late in the second season, Candace (Ambyr Childers) manages to trap Joe in the box and calls Love (Victoria Pedretti) to come to the storage unit and see the truth.
Love ends up killing Candace and returns to the glass box to reveal her dark past to Joe, who is still trapped inside.
All the while, fans were quick to joke about Joe's facial expressions when he was held captive and found out the truth about Love.

Some even poked fun at his reaction to the "big reveal" that Love was a killer, too.

But most of the jokes were centered around what people say they would do if they were trapped inside Joe's glass box
Throughout seasons one and two Joe keeps his victims trapped for long periods of time.
He brings them food (sometimes with their dietary restrictions in mind, for better or for worse) and often stays to have conversations.
Some victims try to convince Joe to let them out while others try to appeal to Joe by forming a relationship with him.
