** The lead up to the disaster progresses much in the same way it would in our current real world. It starts with strange reports from different countries appearing online. Then Malorie notices some of the houses have their windows blocked. She is still absorbed in her mundane every day problems until she has to escape her home.

** There was understandably a lot of comparing to ''Film/AQuietPlace'', ''Film/AQuietPlace'' (another film about parenthood and surviving the apocalypse based on one of the senses), just with a different sense.

** Jokes that compare this film to ''Film/AQuietPlace'', but with [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a nonsensical last line in play]] -- eg. [[Film/BirdBox Can't see]], [[Film/AQuietPlace can't speak]], [[Film/MeanGirls can't sit with us]].

* MemeticMutation: Much like the memes of what it would take for [[Film/It2017 Pennywise]] to convince you to join him in the sewer, a lot of memes for ''Bird Box'' are on what it would take for the entities to make you take off your blindfold. [[spoiler:The scene of Gary forcing Cheryl's eyes open is also getting some mileage, with everything from unpleasant porn to the reason why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch serving in place of the entity.]]

** Though it's questionable how many are genuine versus spoofs, the Bird Box Challenge involves having someone film you trying to do some complicated task while blindfolded. Netflix was understandably rather leery about how badly these could go wrong and was actually driven to put out a message urging people to cut it out.
