Specifically from season 12, episode 8, "The China Problem" from 2008.
It's making fun of the idea of media makers "raping our childhoods" in particular Spielberg and Lucas violating Indiana Jones by releasing Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull earlier that year.
Jumping the shark is when the plot is lost and a ridiculous next move makes it apparent that the value is gone and the entity has become a joke of itself. That's my interpretation. I did not google.
Everyone keeps blaming the aliens but I didn’t that they were that bad a fit. But the movie was terrible and at that but where LeBouf started swinging through the trees I was ready to walk out.
Personally i can't get onboard with aliens when the rest of the series is cemented in the religious supernatural. The two genres are mutually exclusive in my head.
That said I do get that aliens are the pop culture thing in the timeframe where that film was set so the decision makes sense. Execution was just piss poor.
It's obviously from South Park.

It's George Lucas and Steven Spielberg violating Indiana Jones.
The movie really was that bad.
The only thing I remember from it was the refrigerator scene because it was so wtf.
“Nuke the fridge” is up there with “Jump the shark”
Not at all. Jump the shark is a high point that the show is not expected to reach again.
Nuking the fridge is more of a final humiliation.
you think that the fonz jumping over a shark on his motorcycle was the High Point of Happy Days and that's why they call it that? 😂
It wasn't a motorcycle, it was on water skis. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs9M1m-dpgM
OT, but the comment under the video is pure gold:
"Sharks have a similar metaphor, 'swam under the Fonzie'."

And those 🐜 That was the only movie I've watched in a movie theater that was so bad that I fell asleep
They could have just not had the monkeys. They added nothing to the story and were the most egregiously bad CGI.

The newer one’s not too bad though.

"He he, get em georgie boy!!! Stick em up on the pinball machine!!!"
How did we let George Lucas and Steven Spielberg rape Indiana Jones?

It's RFK checking a teen boy who has low sperm count if he is circumsized because circumcision causes autism.
Given all the rehashes lately, seems even more relevant now
