The 'De Plane! De Plane!' meme originates from the iconic opening sequence of the television series 'Fantasy Island' (1977–1984). In this classic scene, the character Tattoo, played by the late Hervé Villechaize, spots the arrival of the weekly seaplane carrying guests to the island. He frantically rings a bell and shouts the famous catchphrase to alert his sophisticated employer, Mr. Roarke, portrayed by Ricardo Montalbán. This routine became the show's signature moment, symbolizing the start of a new adventure. In modern meme culture, this clip is the gold standard for representing extreme anticipation or the arrival of something long-awaited. It is frequently used to express the excitement of seeing a delivery driver, a friend pulling into a driveway, or even the arrival of a weekend. The sheer enthusiasm in Tattoo's voice makes it perfect for high-energy announcements or reacting to notifications. Example captions include: 'Me when the Uber Eats driver pulls into my street,' 'When the Amazon package you ordered 2 hours ago finally arrives,' and 'The group chat when the first person arrives at the bar.'
