Netflix Drops the Ultimate Blake Lively Meme for ‘Bridgerton’ Season 3, Leaving Fans Flipping Out
Bridgerton 3 has officially wrapped up with an oh-so-happy ending. But that does not mean the chaos sprinkled throughout the season was any less entertaining. Netflix has drawn a comparison between one of the most chaotic storylines of the season and Blake Lively’s iconic one-liner from her 2018 comedy thriller. Since then, fans have not been able to get the parallel out of their heads.
The drama between Penelope and Eloise was front and center from the get-go of the Polin season. Their friendship went south by the end of the second season itself, but all hell broke loose when Eloise found out Colin and Penelope's secret. Netflix recently tied Eloise and Penelope's conflict to the Blake Lively meme from A Simple Favor, with that famous and iconic swear word, "brotherf**ker".

A Simple Favor is renowned for Blake Lively’s iconic one-liner as Emily, the PR executive who enjoys gin martinis. Besides the outrageous antics she pulls, one can draw comparisons between the forthrightness shared by both Emily and Eloise. However, blending the 2018 meme into the historical elegance of a period drama caused quite a frenzy on social media.
Fans swarmed X to discuss just how unexpectedly wild and outrageously funny the comparison turned out to be.
The Bridgerton and Blake Lively mix-up caught fans off-guard
By the final episodes of the third season of Bridgerton, viewers saw the conflict between Penelope, played by Nicola Coughlan, and Eloise played by Claudia Jessie, easing off. While it was touching to see the best friends reconnecting and confiding in each other again, fans now cannot stop imagining the whimsical Blake Lively twist to their feud, thanks to Netflix. Some fans have hilariously stated that this meme is bound to stick with them.
Many fans could not help but notice the bold and offbeat promotional posts from the streaming giant.
