This 'Bird Box' meme hilariously combines the horror of 'A Quiet Place' and 'Hush'

'Can't hear, can't speak, can't see.'

As any true horror fan should know, in the movies, senses like sight, speech, and hearing sometimes work against characters.

In the 2016 film Hush, the protagonist, Maddie, can't hear. The 2018 film A Quiet Place follows a family who must remain silent, as sound attracts deadly monsters. And in Netflix's recently released hit Bird Box, the characters must wear blindfolds to avoid seeing threatening creatures with the potential to invade their minds.

All three are terrifying, slightly similar scenarios, so naturally the lovely people of the internet decided to lump them into one glorious meme.

The "Can't hear, can't speak, can't see" meme, as it's being referred to, combines the plots from the three horror films mentioned above and breaks the tension by adding another, ideally lighthearted "can't." (It's also not to be confused with those other Bird Box memes that people accused Netflix of spreading.)

Examples include references to MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This," Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Queer Eye, and more. Here are some of the most enjoyable.
