What makes this gif retired?

edit: I know what a retired gif is. I just failed to see why this particular gif is retired, because it isn't used very spectacularly.

it was used in such a spectacular way that it's going to be hard to top. Ie "this gif has been used the best possible way it can be, it's now retired".

That's not what a retired gif is. A retired gif is when it's used in the only possible situation where it would make sense.

I think he's saying that when a gif is used particularly awesomely to the point nobody can use it better, it gets enshrined, or something like that.

I know what a retired GIF is. But this gif has not been retired, in my opinion. I think this gif can be used again, and I think there are even better examples that this gif could fall under.

It... couldn't be more perfect... the sad face on yoshi turning to anger. The backflip to the middle finger.

It perfectly captured everything.
