The '30 Times the Glass Was Not Strong Enough' meme is a parody of early 2010s clickbait listicles and viral YouTube compilations that used sensationalist titles to attract views. The template usually focuses on moments of physical failure, where objects like windows, coffee tables, or sliding doors succumb to gravity, animals, or human error. It has become a staple of internet 'fail' culture, used to mock people overestimating the durability of glass or simply to celebrate the chaotic comedy of things breaking. On social media, users often repurpose the title to describe emotional fragility or situations where a person's patience finally snaps, mirroring the literal shattering depicted in the original videos.
