Hyper-realistic: So realistic and out-of-place that it's eerie, uncanny. In Squidward's Suicide (where I believe the term originated) Squidward's eyes became "hyper-realistic": they appeared to be something out of real life that was placed in a cartoon, with the results being that it looked very "off".
