«Breaking News» Sandra Bullock's psychological thriller 'Bird Box' has inspired dozens of hilarious memes

Netflix's psychological thriller starring Sandra Bullock has become the internet's latest obsession inspiring a mountain of 'Bird Box' memes.  

The movie has set a new record, with 45 million Netflix accounts watching it in the week since its release, according to the streaming service. 

'Bird Box' tells the story of a mother and her two children forced to wear blindfolds as they search for refuge in a dystopian world overrun by monsters that can drive you to suicide in a glance. 

If you're not still full on Christmas cookies, feast your eyes on this smorgasbord of memes (beware, many contain spoilers): 

'Bird Box' has inspired dozens of hilarious memes in the week since the psychological thriller starring Sandra Bullock was released on Netflix. The tweet above from Tasha Maree shows a man and his two kids posing as movie characters who have to wear blindfolds to escape mysterious monsters that have taken over the world and can kill anyone who looks at them

In the meme above, which has been retweeted nearly 9,000 times, a woman pokes fun at the film by pretending that her bangs are a blindfold that can shield her from the monsters 

One Twitter user shared screengrabs from a scene in The Office where Michael Scott dons a blindfold and goes into the wilderness- passing them off as scenes in 'Bird Box' 

Another tweet referencing The Office compares Jim Halpert to 'Bird Box' character Douglas

The sudden onslaught of memes was deemed suspicious by some social media users who accused Netflix of spreading them through fake accounts to create hype around the movie following its lukewarm reception by critics. 

The now-debunked theory went viral on Twitter after it was posed by journalist Sam Weinberg, an editor for music website Underground Underdogs. 

Weinberg attempted to prove the theory by posting a video scrolling through the #BirdBox hashtag and calling out six different Twitter accounts with low follower and following counts that could be run by bots.   

'Netflix is using dozens of fake accounts with suspiciously low tweet/follower counts to seed twitter with viral memes about their movie bird box,' Weinberg tweeted. 'Creepiest part is how they’re using pics stolen from real people’s (minors, mostly) social media [accounts] in order to make them seem like real profiles.'

The post was retweeted more than 6,000 times - but upon further inspection there appears to be zero evidence to support the theory.   

In fact, most of the memes that have gone viral were shared by Twitter accounts that have been around for years.  

Weinberg has since deleted his tweet.  

Netflix announced on Twitter Friday that a record 45 million accounts have watched 'Bird Box' since it was released on the streaming platform on December 21

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
