Deep Fried Screen

Taking pictures or recordings of a screen. This result of an image or a video displaying terrible quality of the screen makes it appeared if it was a deep fried meme.

Around 2007 and a little bit earlier, many people would take pictures of their device that had a screen and post it online. Many Let's Plays during this time of YouTube people would get their video camera and recorded gameplay and it was acceptable.

As time went by many programs and features allowed the users to take screenshots and screencasts making practice of using another devices, video & picture cameras and cellphones, obsolete for the most part

However it is still used but is usually done for quick uploads in case whatever they'll capturing might not be available. The latter is acceptable however posting or uploading in a normal condition is not.
Why did you recorded your gameplay with your phone? You know you've could had downloaded a screencasts program, right? It looks so grainy, washed-out, and strangely colored! It's a deep fried screen!

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
