Fonzie, eat your heart out, because Breitbart.com has really jumped the shark this time.
And the exact definition of that phrase is important to include here. (Emphasis added.)
"Jumping the shark" is an idiom popularized by Jon Hein that was used to describe the moment in the evolution of a television show when it begins a decline in quality, signaled by a particular scene, episode, or aspect of a show in which the writers use some type of gimmick in an attempt to keep viewers' interest, which is taken as a sign of desperation, and is seen by viewers to be the point at which the show strayed irretrievably from its original formula. The phrase is based on a scene from a fifth-season episode of the sitcom Happy Days when the character Fonzie jumps over a shark while on water-skis.
The usage of "jump the shark" has subsequently broadened beyond television, indicating the moment when a brand, design, franchise, or creative effort's evolution declines.
The conservative brand is dying. Trump-ism is killing it.
Breitbart dot dom is firmly on the side of Trump. So calls for a third party to ruin Trump's victory, especially coming from Bill Kristol, bring out the...wait...anti-Semitism?
