What does the “Coaxed Into a Snafu” meme mean?

By using a rough graphical style, it satirizes the loss of aesthetic quality during massive viral spread.

Where does the “Coaxed Into a Snafu” meme come from?
The documented origin dates back to October 7, 2012. A Facebook page named "Princess Bubblegum" posted an image on "Hipster High Five Ghost". It showed several hastily drawn Trollfaces. The third face from the right displayed the text "you have been coaxed into a snafu". The term snafu evokes a confusing or disorganized situation. Diffusion continued via another Facebook page created on October 13, 2012. Then, a gallery appeared on Reddit in r/4chan on October 20, 2012. Finally, the dedicated subreddit r/coaxedintoasnafu was launched on January 31, 2013. No video or TV show source is mentioned in reliable records regarding this initial creation.
