What Is The 'My Dream Date. Cute,' Meme?
On the 13th episode of Love Island USA season seven, which aired on June 16th, 2025, Huda had a sit-down with Iris to discuss the date that Iris went on with Jeremiah.
Both Huda and Iris had been pursuing Jeremiah, who had a very rocky on-screen relationship with Huda.
In the scene, Huda asks Iris, "What was the date?" Iris responds, "It was just like sitting down like on the beach," a pretty mundane date that presumably wasn't even set up by Jeremiah or Iris, but the producers of the show.
Huda answers, full of disappointment, "My dream date. Cute. And he knows that." The clip was reuploaded to TikTok the day after it aired and gained nearly a million views in two weeks.
@kimkardashianlover119 huda needs to drop the attitude with iris, its not her fault and its not like jeremiah planned the date either for her to be saying “he knows thats my dream date” 🙄 give it a rest girl #loveisland #loveislandusa #loveislandseason7 #fyp #xyzabc #xyzbcafypシ #xyz #jeremiah #jeremiahloveisland #famous #hudabubbaaa #hudaloveisland #huda #viralvideo #iris ♬ original sound – kimkardashianlover119
How Is 'My Dream Date. Cute,' Used In Memes?
The scene stood out to viewers, many of whom were growing tired of Huda and Jeremiah's seemingly toxic relationship, as particularly dramatic thanks to Huda's reaction.
Some comments under the original reupload joke about how basic of a date sitting on the beach is, suggesting Huda's reaction was a little bit intense. Others point out that the date was not likely even picked by Jeremiah or Iris.
The audio for the TikTok upload became a popular lip dub sound over the next two weeks, seeing over 20,000 uses.
Most examples of the meme display text as they lip dub to the scene, using it to portray how they feel about missing out on mundane or unimportant dates and events.
Outside of TikTok, the scene has been converted into an image macro, and people are replacing aspects of the quote, mostly the description of the date, with something funnier, or a reference to their own idea of a perfect date.
