The Netflix series Perfect Match is one of the streaming platform's most recent hits, inspiring some hilarious posts and memes on Reddit. With former Netflix reality stars all coming together to compete and find love, the show matched several couples and started a bunch of brand-new drama between the contestants. Though Perfect Match is facing a bit of criticism due to its lack of planning, fans have been finding many parts of the show hilarious, even if they're not meant to be.
Perfect Match features Netflix stars from many other pre-existing reality shows. Most notably, the show has some of the most popular stars like Too Hot To Handle alum Chloe Veitch, Joey Sasso from The Circle, and Too Hot To Handle's Francesca Farago. Francesca, who has been branded as a villain throughout her reality TV experiences, brings the drama to the Perfect Match house, along with several other stars that are in line to become even more notable as viewers see them more often.
Perfect Match's Damien Looks Like Toby From The Office
Perfect Match brings Love Is Blind star Damian Powers back into the Netflix reality TV sphere for another shot at love, and fans think he may resemble a certain HR Representative from The Office. Damian, who briefly dated Francesca after his engagement to Giannina Gibelli fell apart, joined the cast at the request of Francesca. Though Damian and Francesca's relationship didn't work out, one Reddit user u/LittleMissDepresso felt that he looked a bit too much like Toby from The Office to ignore. "To the person who said Damien looks like Toby from the office, I made this for you," the fan wrote. There are several posts on Reddit about the comparison, but this meme is easily the funniest, with one comment exclaiming, "I didn’t see a change at first. They’re identical."
Netflix Fans Poke Fun At Perfect Match's Low Budget Production
Though Perfect Match included an all-star cast of some of Netflix's finest, the show has gotten some flack for cast members seemingly not knowing what was going on throughout the filming process, and simply piecing the show together while it was being edited. Perfect Match was filmed in Panama over the course of a few weeks. It mixes a Bachelor In Paradise style villa with Are You The One? style pairings, along with Big Brother style competitions that earn the singles dates and power. Fans have been making fun of the show's budget, which was clearly spent on the cast more than on planning, and this GoFundMe meme is one of the more hilarious stabs taken at the show's lack of direction. As u/TreeBeautiful2728 put it, "Perfect Match 2: Fyre Festival Edition."
Perfect Match Host Nick Lachey Is Obviously In On The Fun
With Perfect Match being an amalgamation of several shows, it's only fitting that the host already understands the Netflix reality TV universe. The production team called in Nick Lachey for Perfect Match's hosting duties, and fans were quick to joke around about the ex-boy band star's newfound career as a reality TV host. One of the running jokes throughout the series is that the cast typically only calls the host by his full name instead of simply using his first name. Fans were quick to make fun of the joke, but as u/Infamous_Annual4322 explained, "It’s a long running joke from all the way back in the One Tree Hill days lol." With Perfect Match's future uncertain, the deep cut fan references and support from host Nick Lachey may just help the show score another season.
