The 'I Edited a Peppa Pig Episode' meme stems from the long-standing internet tradition of YouTube Poops and surrealist edits of children's television. It typically refers to content where creators take innocent footage of the show and manipulate it with glitches, dark humor, or bizarre audio to create a 'cursed' version of the original. The meme became a recognizable trope used to highlight the absurdity of modern internet humor, often playing on the contrast between wholesome preschool animation and the chaotic creativity of the web. It is frequently used by creators to showcase their own editing skills or to mock the weirdness of viral parody content.
