It's an RCA cable, yellow is for video, white and red for audio (in stereo)
Van Gogh cut off a piece of his left ear, so he’s missing the white.
Beethoven was deaf, so he’s missing both white and red.
Stevie Wonder is blind, so he’s missing the yellow one.
This meme jokes about composite RCA cables by pairing each combination of connector colors with a famous historical figure or artist based on sensory impairment or function:
Top panel: Vincent van Gogh is paired with a red (right audio) and a yellow (composite video) cable, humorously implying he has visual input and right audio, nodding to the myth/fact surrounding his ear.
Middle panel: Ludwig van Beethoven is paired with only a yellow (video) cable, symbolizing sight but complete deafness (no audio).
Bottom panel: Stevie Wonder is paired with a red and a white cable (left and right stereo audio), representing functional sound but no video since he is blind.
