Netflix Guesses Missing Content Friends Meme

NETFLIX (overlaid on Joey in all right-hand panels)
Overview
This is an 8-panel (4 rows, 2 columns) meme using screencaps from the sitcom Friends. The left column features the character Phoebe Buffay slowly spelling out the start of a media title one letter at a time: first 'L', then 'Lo', then 'Lor', before finishing with 'Yes, I want to watch it!'. The right column features the character Joey Tribbiani, overlaid with red 'NETFLIX' text, incorrectly guessing different well-known titles each round: first 'La La Land?', then 'Logan?', then 'Lord of the rings?', before finally responding 'Oh we don't have it'. The joke satirizes the common frustrating experience of using Netflix, where the platform often fails to have the specific content a user is searching for, even when the user clearly indicates what they want.
