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.

Something really overused on Youtube signifying that instead of just one part of the song/video being great, the whole song/video is. X:XX is for the total length of the song.

2: well i like it from 0:00 to 5:01!!! (0:00 - X:XX)
