when someone sets out to make something "cool" or enhance something, when in reality their efforts make that thing terrible.

Taken from an Episode of "Doug", when Doug tries to take his dad's kite design for "the funny 5" (the fifth in the kite in a series) and make it more "cool" like his friends kite, but in fact makes the kite suck hard and not even fly.
He got a great design from a professional designer, but then he got "the funny 5" syndrome and started adding stuff and changes things. pretty soon it sucked hard
