The Tosh.0 Principle describes an increasingly common and rather infuriating occurrence in which an obscure joke, character, story, or other piece of media is referenced in mainstream media, causing everybody to think it originated from the latter.
Named after the TV show Tosh.0, which provides commentary on internet viral videos. Other notorious culprits include South Park, Family Guy, and rap music.

The purpose was to be “up” on your opponents (which means having more total kills, e.g. 36-28) but this was taken to the most extreme point, when getting few kills in the most bizarrely cheap ways led to making your opponent rage (1-0 gg no re, cry).
