The blowjob guy from Fyre Fest doc is totally cool with your blowjob memes

But he doesn't know how to pronounce 'meme.'

If you've watched Netflix's Fyre Fest documentary, than you definitely know Andy King, the festival producer that Billy McFarland asked to perform oral sex with a customs agent in return for getting water to the festival site.

It's one of the most jaw-dropping scenes in a movie full of them, and it has inspired a legion of memes -- memes it turns out that King is totally cool with.

In a video released on Tuesday afternoon by Netflix, King says, in a fun bit of wordplay, "I'm completely blown away by the response to the documentary."

King admits he had no idea before his sudden fame what "trending" meant, and he admits to originally pronouncing the word "meme" as "me me," which is hilarious considering King was supposed to help McFarland rescue his "festival" built on a mountain of social media scams savvy.

The memes came fast and furious after Netflix unleashed the doc early in January. Things really piled up as people latched on to King's story and really, really, really high level of dedication.

Good on King for being a good sport about all of this, but hopefully next time he becomes a meme it'll be under less dire circumstances.
