The world has been raving about Netflix's new horror/thriller movie "Bird Box," but what's almost better than the film itself is the countless hilarious memes and funny posts it has inspired.
This new movie stars Sandra Bullock as Malorie, a pregnant, single artist who becomes trapped in a house with strangers after mysterious entities take over the world and force people to commit suicide by the hundreds. The only way to see these creatures is to look outside, leading to an exaggerated use of blindfolds (and therefore, blindfold related memes). The movie follows Malorie coming to terms with her new lifestyle and new responsibilities.
While based on the book "Bird Box" by Josh Malerman, the literature the movie inspires is the real treat. From Twitter to Tumblr to Facebook, there has been no shortage of content for the over 45 million viewers wishing to get more out of the movie than just watching it.
Here are 23 of the funniest "Bird Box" memes that the Internet has come up with, that are sure to make you laugh or at least crack a smile.

I mean, would this have worked???
3. This one is a survivor
*suddenly looks for the closest thing to use as a blindfold*
4. A+ "The Office" reference
Sidenote: Thank God "The Office" is still on Netflix (for those who don't know, there was a rumor that it was to be taken off January 1st, 2019 but thankfully this was false).
5. This is exactly what I thought too!
How cute would it have been if she was named Cinderella-like her mother wanted?? (But to be honest, anything is better than Girl.)
6. This one will be completely prepared
Wherever you go, always have a blindfold handy just in case...
7. At least whoever lives will have some good Italian food made by these guys
Maybe the rat will be like the birds and will warn when the entities are coming.
8. All the Directioners out there may be in trouble...
What? Even the post-apocalyptic world needs fun music!
9. Ouch
Poor Charlie, he was the angel we all deserved.

You lose sound in one movie and sight in the other.
18. Top Baby Names of 2019
I think 3 and 4 could be Olympia and Tom. But notice how Cinderella doesn't make an appearance.

Poor Olympia, she tried so hard.
21. Changes my workout routine to this:
No but seriously how did she do that? I would probably die.
