The art of turning other people's worst five seconds into your best clip of the day.
means The quality of being absurd, laughable, or wildly out of proportion to common sense.
from Built from ridiculous, which comes straight from Latin ridiculus, 'laughable,' rooted in ridere, 'to laugh.' The -ous and -ness endings are just English piling on extra weight, as if one suffix of mockery wasn't enough — so the word itself is a little ridiculous in construction, which feels fitting.
