Is this an obscure Donnie Darko reference or something?

I recognize it as an old meme from Funhaus, but it might have started elsewhere.

As I recall, there was some music streaming or cataloging site that had a record of what they called "scrombling" or some crazy shit.

last.fm? each time you play a track it "scrobbles" it. kinda a dumb name but I like it 😁

It's completely unrelated, but there's the character Scrombles (played by Tex of the BPL) that's 1int (in Fallout 1) that goes more towards unarmed/melee builds (also, Battletech) such as starting FO1 with 94% unarmed+84% melee. Being scrombled/scrombulated (which IIRC he has said at least one of those before) would just mean losing your head to a punch, which I guess you could say is the satellite one.
