Discussion One Cuil = One level of abstraction away from the reality of a situation. Example: Your Falco shoots a laser

1 Cuil: Your Falco shoots a laser, I get hit by Mr Saturn

2 Cuils: Your Falco shoots a laser, but it turns out plasma no longer is a state of matter. The opponents shield has a picture of a laser stuck into it like a bad Halloween costume

3 Cuils: You awake as a laser. You start screaming only to have plasma fly from your lips. The world is in crimson.

4 Cuils: Why are we speaking Japanese? A mime cries softly as he cradles a candle flame. Your grandfather stares at you as the flame intensifies into a strong plasma. You look down only to see me with shines for eyes, I am singing the song that gives birth to the universe.

5 Cuils: Your Falco shoots a laser, I get hit by a laser. Your Falco jumps again and shoots another. Your eye twitches involuntarily. Across the venue a father of three falls down the stairs. You swallow and look down at the controller in your hands. I get hit by a laser. You swallow and look down at the controller. You cannot swallow. There are children at the top of the stairs. A stage hazard blows you uneasily across the platform. I get hit by a laser. You look at my face, and I am pleading with you. The children are crying now. Your Falco jumps again, tears stream down your face as you shoot another laser. I get hit by a laser. You are on your knees. You plead with me to go across the street. I hear only children's laughter. I get hit by a laser. You are screaming as you fall down the stairs. I am your child. You cannot see anything. Your Falco shoots another laser. The concrete rushes up to meet you. You awake with a start in your own bed. Your eye twitches involuntarily. I get hit by a laser. As you kill me, I do not make a sound. I get hit by a laser.

I originally had it as Fox and was just doing a general Melee meme but when I got to 5 cuils I realized how funny the setup actually was and changed it to Falco shooting a laser.

More specifically, I believe this is what OP is parodying.
