AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Two Birds On A Wire' meme features a comedic and slightly morbid animation set to the song "Two Birds" by Regina Spektor. In the template, two cartoon birds from the Talking Larry application are perched on a wire against a black background. One bird gets struck by lightning and disappears, while the other bird reacts with a loud scream of horror. This abrupt transition from calm to chaos is often used humorously in various meme adaptations.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme originated from a video created by a now-deleted TikTok (now X) user under the handle @tqmgatos around November 29, 2021. The video depicted two iterations of Talking Larry the Bird from the Talking Tom and Friends series. As they sat over a black background, one bird is suddenly struck by lightning and vanishes, causing the second bird to scream in horror. This video was later reuploaded by TikTok (now X) user @kaheilvs on November 29th, 2021, acquiring substantial viewership.[1]
