Clips labelled with a single number spread online because the meaning is flexible, and minus thirty six is used that way across edits and short posts. Creators treat the number as shorthand for an extreme low, whether that is a minus score, a sub zero temperature or a rating so bad it becomes funny. The clip has stayed in circulation as a small reaction tool rather than a scene tied to one character or show, which helps it fit many different jokes without needing context from viewers at all today.
