The “Hotline Bling” video dropped last night (Oct. 19), and like most things Drake-related, it blew up instantly. The colorful, minimalist clip mostly showcased Drake’s completely-unembarrassed dancing (alongside a few voluptuous twerkers, of course), proving the perfect fodder for GIFs, memes, Vines, and all the other socially-oriented #content that dictates a 2015 music video’s success.

The majority of the memes fell either into the category of mash-ups (see a Drake-endorsed one below) or of stills with bae/Netflix and chill/”TFW when” themed-captions — nevertheless, hilarity (mostly) ensues. See some of our favorites below:
