recorded with a potato 

A comment that is commonly posted on Youtube about videos that have such poor quality, that they appear all blurry and pixelated much to the displeasure of the viewers.

Man for fucks sake this video of Muse playing at the Olympic closing ceremony that was omitted by NBC blows. I can hardly see or hear shit. Must have been recorded with a potato I guess.

I'll take a potato chip... AND EAT IT! 

A famous quote from the anime Death Note said by the protagonist Light Yagami. In the show, Light uses a book called the Death Note to kill criminals under the alias Kira. When his home is bugged with multiple cameras by the detective L after he suspects Light to be Kira, Light devises a plan in which he hides a miniature TV in a bag of potato chips. By doing this, he can kill criminals that are being broadcast live but from the perspective of L’s surveillance he is just studying for his exams. Light has given himself an alibi since L thinks he has no way of obtaining information on the criminals being killed. To celebrate his victory over L’s cameras, he gloats in his internal monologue while eating his chip.

Light: “Just watch me, L! I'll solve equations with my right hand and write names with my left. I'll take a potato chip... AND EAT IT!”

Did you record this with a potato? 

When people post videos of extremely bad quality on Youtube, commentators sometimes post a question asking, “Did you record this with a potato?” This questions how the video poster ever even thought that his video was youtube worthy; videos that receive this comment are often heavily pixellated, corrupted, excessively blurry, or constantly contain text that’s too small to see.

In these comments the word potato is often replaced with something else, for example calculator..

Guy 1: *Shows a video with bad quality*
Guy 2: "Did you record this with a potato?"
