I'm not the first to notice the correlation because it's present on the wiki but I just watched this today, it first broadcast 4 February 2000 over 22 years ago.
This ep plays into "it's all personality" subtexts of course since they have the same actor playing both the incel and the chad (Chad even gets the incel acting roles FFS)
To me it seems like the earliest confirmed etymology of the term. The wiki says something about 90s usage in Chicago or by a "Trixie Society" but there's no proof.
A lot of blackpilled stuff here like how the incel (Sid Camden) gets passed over for a promotion because Chad Warner is more attractive.
Then later when he's wearing the holo impersonating Chad, he bumps into some betabuxer and the old foid there interprets this as the betabuxer bumping into Chad and gets mad at the buxer.
Then there's this moment after he's slaying hotties from bars, he's still having nightmares about how people treated him when he was ugly, and realizes he hasn't truly "ascended" because he's not the one being loved and accepted, only the hologram is.
Talks about a lot of the same ideas, like how things are like in high school, how looks make a huge diff...
also big rant about how his besty GF who friendzones him (but went out and fucked Chad as soon as she could upgrade her looks from Becky to Stacy) is a hypocrite for criticizing him for wanting to keep using the holo
he points out that getting Chad fired (he impersonated him pretending to be drunk and insulted the boss) isn't a big deal because his good looks made it easy to get hired, and how he actually knows Chad better than Chad knows himself
