You switch me on every day

This is an 8-panel (4 rows, 2 columns) relatable humor meme using footage from the sitcom *Friends*, framing a conversation between a TV user (represented by Phoebe on the left) and their television (represented by Joey on the right). The pair state the same facts in the first three rows: the user turns the TV on every day, only one device is connected to HDMI 1, no other HDMI devices are connected and no broadcast channels are set up. In the final panel, the user says they turn the TV on, and the TV unapologetically yells "HDMI 2!", mocking the common, frustrating issue where smart TVs default to unused, empty HDMI inputs despite only one connected device being available.

I'VE NEVER CONNECTED ANOTHER HDMI NOR HAVE ANY CHANNELS SETUP
YOU'VE NEVER CONNECTED ANOTHER HDMI NOR HAVE ANY CHANNELS SETUP
I SWITCH YOU ON
HDMI 2!
