For $400 a night, you can rent this literal ‘Netflix & Chill’ room on Airbnb


 
Someone clever on Airbnb is renting out what looks to be a pretty ordinary NYC apartment space in Manhattan’s West Village as a “Netflix and Chill” room. To quote their ad: “We bring the famous ‘Netflix & Chill meme’ to life and offer it as an IRL experience that people can rent for a night.” So they can binge watch. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

The fundamentals for a night of movies and sex are all present, including a laptop, an HD projector, a bed with cute Netflix bedspread and pillows, a “fully stocked” mini-fridge containing champagne and various other types of alcohol, and so on. There’s also a nice shower.
 

 
Remarkably, there’s no mention of prophylactics in the ad, which would at least have been self-aware considering that some of the earliest invocations of the phrase “Netflix and chill” (going back a whopping two years now) used visuals of condoms in order to get the cheeky point across.

Obviously, what you would select on Netflix is up to you. An obvious choice is something by Nicholas Sparks, but since The Best of Me (currently on Netflix) is probably terrible, that seems like a dumb choice. If you have any tolerance for foreign movies—and subtitles—it’s hard to beat Y Tu Mamá También from Mexico or Amélie from France.

Here’s a recent clip from The Daily Show with Trevor Noah showing clueless newscasters merrily using the phrase “Netflix and chill” even though they clearly don’t know what it means:
