Memes

These are older audio/video cables. Back in the days, before HDMI came around you connected your TV to other components (VCR, cable box, HiFi, sound system, etc.) with these cables. Red and White were the audio cables for left and right channels. Yellow was for the video feed.

So when we consider the artists in the meme: Van Gogh, only had one ear and both his eyes, so he has a single audio cable (mono instead of stereo) and a video cable.

Beethoven only has the video cable because he was deaf.

Stevie wonder has both audio cables but no video cable because he is blind.

I hope that makes more sense :)

Van Gogh cut one of his ears off so the diagram shows only one audio cable, but still gets video. Beethoven was deaf and has only a video cable. Edit: Stevie Wonder being blind only gets the audio cables.

The one on the picture is called composite connector, compared to component, which used the same connector type but different colors codes. You had to be very careful where you plug them in your VHS player.

In composite the red and white plugs were the left and right sound, and the yellow the image. Van Gogh had one ear, so only one audio connector, Beethoven was deaf, so only yellow video, Ray Charles were blind.
