Bob: Hey man, that sucks that you got demoted and they're bringing in a new guy to do your old job.
Tom: Eh, it's okay. They couldn't find a better person to replace me, so I ended up getting a remotion.

narrative-driven short films
A famous remote found Conan visit a historic, Civil War-era baseball league. That piece was one of O'Brien's personal favorites, later remarking, "When I leave this earth, at the funeral, just show this, because this pretty much says who I'm all about."
Within a year, O’Brien began to work out a kind of comedic formula for “Late Night.” In addition to the usual glittering array of guests, the show combined the lewd and wacky (regulars included a masturbating bear and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog) with more elegant, narrative-driven short films (which are called remotes) in which O’Brien left the studio and reported on, say, a historic baseball league or a station in Houston that refused to carry his show at its normal hour. The apotheosis of the “Late Night” remotes centered on the realization in 2006 that O’Brien bears a striking resemblance to the (female) president of Finland. “We took the show to Helsinki for five days,” O’Brien recalled, “where we were embraced like a national treasure.”

A universal uninvented remote control device which would enable the user to overpower another users remote control on any given electronic device, when you don't like what actions the remote control holder is doing with their remote control.
I would invent it if i were Chinese and reading this.

1. I didn't want to watch that program he was watching on pay tv so i used my Remote Control Remote Controller.
2. I was sick of watching him do circles with his remote control helicopter so i overpowered him with my remote control remote controller and made some kickass swoops and dives.

(noun) An inferior substitute for in-person schooling after it is cancelled, possibly due to a Pandemic or something.
Thanks to Coronavirus, my whole class switched to remote learning. Now every morning I watch my teachers through a gritty, laggy webcam and receive an inferior education, but I still get to pay the same ridiculously high tuition!

This action occurs while watching the DVR. As one fast-forwards through the commercials of their taped program, they accidently press play too soon--before the program has returned.
Declan fast-forwarded through the commercials of his favorite TV show, Breaking Bad, since he recorded it on his DVR.
While speeding by the ads at an alarming rate, he thought he saw Breaking Bad return and pushed play. Declan was wrong. He proceeded to do this two more times during the same commercial break. Declan needs to pace himself or he'll continue to experience premature remotation.

The movements you make with your hand when trying to get your tv to recognize your remote control.
All remote dances are different, but most involve twisting your hand around until the remote is almost upside down, thinking that for some reason that will help.
