There are just two words from Joe Goldberg that would always stop us dead in our tracks in real life: Hello, you.
 
And well, for some lucky fans of Netflix's hit show, You, Penn Badgley said just that—and way more—while providing narration as his devious character on a series of TikTok videos. As part of their #narratemejoe campaign, Netflix shared two eerily distinct clips out of those that were chosen, now complete with Penn (as Joe) providing an epic number of creepy details, to their TikTok account.
 
In one video posted on Oct. 27, Penn narrated the comings and goings of a fan named Kasey as she browsed the comic section of a bookstore (with someone donning a baseball cap following close behind her).

"Hello, you," he started the clip. "Oh, the Manga section? Ok. You have my attention. Beaststars? No, not you. You prefer to get your black and gray morality elsewhere. You search volume by volume carefully. You're particular. I can see that ‘cause I'm like three feet away from you."

"What fantasy are you envisioning in your head right now?," he added. "What Manga is drawing your perfect life? I have to know."

Penn's narration is so spot on that we're almost sure this was somehow left on the cutting room floor from the real thing. As one TikTok user commented, "At this point, I'm sure this man wrote the entire script for that show, and I'm scared."
 
"I just need to know who you really are," Penn continued in the clip. "What we have right now is just a little spark. And I realize I can't force it. The timing, the spark, so—you tell me if you're too distracted. YOU decide."

Cue the glance over our shoulder as we're watching this.
 
And there's more where that came from: The streaming service also added a second video for a good measure and well, it's to die for.
