About

"Wow, Look! Nothing!" refers to a two-panel image macro series featuring an edited scene from the web series Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. The scene features the character "Yellow Guy" opening a door and saying the quote. Online, people label the door various things, so the quote becomes the punchline to a comment about how vacant they find the meme's subject to be.
