Airpods can't catch a break.
After getting smushed into slime ASMR, turned into weird earrings, and mocked for rich people flexing, Airpods are the subject of yet another meme.
The meme makes fun of people using Airpods, joking that they can't hear warnings because they're wearing Apple's overpriced wireless earphones. In one of the most popular versions of the meme, a bystander attempts to tell Oedipus (yeah, that Oedipus) that he's about to fulfill the prophesy of killing his father and marrying his mother.

The meme is a spin-off of a 2016 YouTube video, where the narrator tries to tell Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePantsthat he'll be hit by an incoming truck if he doesn't move, but Squidward is oblivious. The video was titled, "Squidward The Trucks Coming. Oh my god he has headphones on. He can't hear us. Oh my god."
In one of the earliest versions of the Airpods adaption, according to Know Your Meme, a narrator tells Ben Shapiro to watch out, but the podcaster puts in Airpods instead.

Since then the meme has spread, referencing the greatest betrayals of pop culture.
