A post-ironic slang term used to dramatize ordinary situations. It references a 2021 Adult Swim short in which a contagious "glitch" virus spreads across cartoons, transforming characters into grotesque versions of themselves and destroying their worlds. The term persists largely because the short became embedded in children's content, which gave it a reputation as cringeworthy to reference directly.
