    The giant jpeg square artefact on the side of Homer’s head in the first frame undermines the message somewhat.

      I’m not sure that’s a JPEG artifact. It looks more like a video compression artifact (since the image is probably taken from a video).

          lol there’s a specific AVI format based on JPEG, but other file formats use different algorithms

            Pretty much all compression algorithms work similar to JPEG. The newer formats only add even more crazy maths to the mix, but the base is pretty much the same.
