Crossed the Rubincon

Crossing the Rubincon
A phrase used to describe someone performing a task so disastrously that they transcend the original goal, creating something entirely unrelated or bizarre in the process.

Origin:
The phrase is a play on "Crossing the Rubicon," which refers to Julius Caesar's fateful crossing of the Rubicon River in ancient Rome, symbolizing a point of no return. In this case, it humorously nods to Dave Rubin's infamous comedy special on April 8, 2018, which was considered so poorly executed that it surpassed comedy entirely, becoming something else altogether.
Defined as: To fail so badly at a task as to transcend the task completely.

Example:
Guy 1: "Instead of running the race, he walked the wrong way into the bushes."
Guy 2: "Yeah, he totally Crossed the Rubincon."
Guy 1: "What does that mean?"
Guy 2: "He's just as bad at running as Dave Rubin is at Comedy!"
