What it means

A video edit from the Chainsaw Man opening recreates or parallels iconic shots from films and other media, including Dante's Divine Comedy, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Don't Look Up, The Big Lebowski, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Fight Club. The joke is the exaggerated recognition of how many famous visual references are packed into the anime opening, set to Kenshi Yonezu's energetic, chaotic song “KICK BACK,” whose intense rock/electronic mood makes the montage feel even more manic and comedic.
