The 'Needs More JPEG' meme is a meta-commentary on the digital degradation of images caused by repeated lossy compression. It gained massive popularity across platforms like Tumblr, Reddit, and 4chan, often used as a sarcastic retort when someone posts an image that has become blurry or 'crunchy' after being shared too many times. The phrase itself is frequently associated with the 'King of the Hill' scene where Hank Hill complains about low-quality photos. Today, the meme serves as both a critique of low-effort reposting and an aesthetic choice in the creation of 'deep-fried' memes, where extreme pixelation and artifacting are used intentionally for comedic effect.
