The website ytmnd.com is known for its tendency to propagate a great number of fads and in-jokes. Note that the fads almost never consist of only the elements indicated for them. Indeed, the fads could not be as popular without variation. Image File history File links Stop_hand. ... YTMND, an acronym for Youre The Man Now, Dog!, is a website community that centers on the creation of YTMNDs, which are pages featuring a juxtaposition of a single image or a simple slideshow, optionally animated and/or tiled, along with optional large zooming text and a looping sound...

Intertextuality

Intertextuality is a relationship between two or more texts that quote from one another, allude to one another, or otherwise connect. Intertextuality is a relationship between two or more texts that quote from one another, allude to one another, or otherwise connect. ...


One form of intertextuality is the relation of elements within a single site. Sites of the "classic" picture/sound/text variety use intertextuality between the image, the sound and the text to amplify or even create new meaning in their source materials. In instances where all the materials are from the same source, the elements build upon one another to make even a throw-away line one of significance. Sites with unrelated source materials repurpose each element to work toward a meaning that could not be reached from any one individual picture, sound or text alone.


Examples

The subject matter of YTMNDs are evolving and producing new combinations as replication continues by the second. One example is the What is love!? YTMND. The YTMND features an animated GIF clip of a sketch from Saturday Night Live with Chris Kattan, Jim Carrey and Will Ferrell with a repeating section of Haddaway's song "What Is Love". It was soon followed by What is NES Love?, in which the clip is rendered in an 8-bit graphics style similar to those found on a game from the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), complete with an NES version of the song. This was followed by What is a-ha?, with the clip drawn in a style similar to the music video for the song "Take on Me" along with a clip of the song. The fad was then merged with the Tiger Handheld fad for What is Tiger?. It was even mixed with the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince spoiler fad for What is Dumbledore?. With pictures like this you can see the restriction of 256 colours. ...

In some cases, a YTMND is framed to incorporate as many fads as possible, often called a fad conglomerate or fad compilation. One such example is the "YTMND: For Game Boy" site, which features a Pokémon-like Game Boy game where elements from other fads duel to the death. This is not a fad on its own but communicates the popularity and nature of borrowing from other fads (However, it recently got a "real", functional game of its own.). Another is "YTMN Damacy", which involves Katamari Damacy-style balls rolling up other fad images. This is combined with sound clips from other fad YTMNDs arranged to the song "Katamari on the Rocks". Pokémon (ポケモン Pokemon, pronounced //, although frequently, and even intentionally mispronounced //), is a multi-billion dollar media franchise[1] created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1996 (it celebrated its tenth anniversary on February 27, 2006). ...

Most Popular Fads

The first major fad on YTMND aside from the original You're The Man Now Dog.
Previously part of the /contrib folder on the original www.yourethemannowdog.com. No original YTMND existed for this fad.
  • Dennis Nedry The line "Ah Ah Ah you didn`t say the magic word," from Jurassic Park mixed with the song Better Off Alone. Sometimes Wayne Knight's Seinfeld character Newman is used instead of Nedry. The First Nedry YTMND
The first YTMND to have passed 1 million views as of August 2005. On January 2, 2006, a hacker found the password for the site creator's account and deleted the site. Max Goldberg promptly replaced the YTMND with a previous backup, but was unable to restore its view count. By February 2006, "The Picard Song" reached 2 million views.
In addition Picard has another fad, thought not as popular as the original Picard Song
  • "I believe you have my stapler," Office Space: Milton Waddams's catchphrase.
  • 2 fads involving Conan O'Brien
Conan is...AN ALLIGATOR, Conan O'Brien waving his arms like alligator jaws, with the song "Straight Ahead" by Tube & Berger. Sometimes the fad expands to other "Conan is..." ideas that do not use the "alligator" animation.
Future Conan is a popular variation of the Conan fad. Conan O'Brien in the future as the leader of a New World Order, illustrated with images from the 1984 Apple Macintosh computer commercial with an image of Conan repeatedly spreading and closing his arms and OBEY CONAN at his top left, with a clip of the Eurythmics song "Sweet Dreams".
  • Sonic advice, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic the Hedgehog gives advice on sexual harassment, in an audio sniplet taken from one of the "Sonic Sez" announcements shown at the end of every episode. The highlight of his speech is If someone tries to touch you in a place or in a way that makes YOU feel uncomfortable, that's no good! This particular sniplet was taken from episode 3 "Lovesick Sonic". This is often combined with other fads, and occasionally a different sonic advice segment is used.
  • "lol, internet". People in moving objects with a speech balloon saying "lol, <insert word here>", accompanied to a loop of "Running in the 90s" by Max Coveri. The original "lol, internet" featured Ronald McDonald in a blue car pointing diagonally upward.
  • Batman: "ualuealuealeuale": an image of Batman doing a sort of weird dance, accompanied by the song "Macarron Chacarron" by El Mudo. This YTMND was the first to overtake The Picard Song as the most viewed YTMND on the site. There were many YTMNDs featuring screenshots of the two shown side by side with the number of hits shown on the day before Batman overtook Picard.
  • "OMG, Secret Nazi...!" This fad hides a swastika in a picture and adding a seizure-inducing flashing picture of a person (usually Hitler) to the corner, accompanied by the song "Heute Ist Mein Tag" by Blümchen. The fad originated from an article about a hidden swastika in a German forest.
  • "Nigga Stole my Bike!". NES Punch-Out!!: Doc Louis riding a bike in front of Little Mac that was accompanied by the statement "Nigga stole my bike!" with those same words spoken by the YTMND's creator, Duezce. This was followed by the popular animated version with Duezce's words spliced into Punch-Out's music.
  • "Brian Peppers", a sex offender in Ohio with a facial malformity. [2] Typically accompanied with song "Burn Bobonga" from the SNES game Chrono Trigger. The one that pretty much initiated the fad featured an image of a woman sitting on a bench, digitally altered to look as though Peppers was hiding inside of a mailbox behind the woman and watching her. This was the first to use "Burn Bobonga" as the background song, and also introduced the most common text to be displayed, a cry of "Brian No!!!"
    On January 31, 2006, Grimaf created a YTMND purporting to display "the truth about Brian J. Peppers", detailing his difficult, convalescent life, which led to some users removing their Brian Peppers sites. This new information was seemingly verified by a man claiming to be Peppers's brother, Allen Peppers. On February 2 of the same year, Kyeson created "Allen Peppers: Hypocrisy" which displays a screenshot proving that the person upvoted many of the "offensive" Brian Peppers sites that he criticized. Furthermore, other YTMND users pointed out multiple inconsistencies in the man's story including a time discrepancy regarding a "Faygo" soda can that appeared on a table in a picture that the man claimed to be from 1976. The can design was discovered not to have been created until the early 90's. Subsequently, the man created one last site which confirmed that this had all been a joke. The site first shows a "final letter" to address YTMND of his frustration. "The Truth about Brian Peppers" as well as "A Letter about Brian Peppers" are accompanied by the song "Forever Rachel" from Final Fantasy VI.
  • "...doesn't change facial expressions". A fast-moving animated GIF of a person in different photos. The person has the same (or very similar) expression in all of them. Accompanied by Eric Prydz's song "Call on Me". In more recent versions the picture may also be static. It originated from a flash file that was found in an update (on May 24, 2005) at Albino Blacksheep called 'The Face'. The .gif used in the Lindsay Lohan version of this fad became infamous when it was posted and watermarked on eBaum's World without permission.
  • Safety Not Guaranteed; a newspaper ad from a person asking for someone to accompany him in time travel with image of a stone-faced young man with a mullet. The ad warns that a potential respondent's safety is not guaranteed as he only tried once before; There are 2 varieties of this fad, both accompanied by the song "Push It To The Limit".
    • The photoshopping of the ad for other people (example: Cheney, Dr. Emmett Brown, Crono, etc...)
    • Various photoshopping of the "mullet man" in various historical events (example: The Last Supper, Vietnam War, etc...)
  • "... has one weakness" It all started with a YTMND called "Professer X has one weakness". It was a picture of The X-Men character Professor X being pushed down a flight of stairs by Sinister (from Ultimate X-Men #49) saying, "Stairs." Since then, people have either edited that same picture or used another picture using the same music, a remix of Axel F.
  • Bill Cosby from a fictional Kids Say the Darndest Things skit shown on The Simpsons where he asks a child what he likes to play. The child says "Pokémon," which Cosby then rambles about incoherently.
    • Recently, there have been various remixes of the Cosby scene set to various fad music (PSP, Stop the Rock, etc...)
  • "Punch the keys, for God's sake!" After the original scene from Finding Forrester in which "You're the man now, dog!" originated was made as a YTMND by Aphex350, a new fad was born from the line also featured in the scene, viewed to be an alternative catchphrase to "You're the Man Now, Dog.". Most people view this as an "alternate dimension" version of the site (with "Punch the keys, for God's sake" as its tagline, obviously), and as such, they create alternate versions of existing YTMNDs. (One popular PTKFGS said that the time traveller from the "Safety Not Guaranteed" fad went back in time to change this.) Some of these alternatives include:
  • "R U SHUR" instead of "O RLY?"; complete with appropriate pictures of cats.
  • The John Sheridan (from Babylon 5) song instead of the Picard song.
  • Darth Vader yelling "Yeeeeeeesssss!" instead of "Nooooo!".
  • Milton questioning his stapler using a clip from Weird Al's song "Dog Eat Dog" rather than asking someone to give back his.
  • "Spic stole my bike!" instead of "Nigga stole my bike!".
  • Sex offender Marvin Wayne Stevens popping out of a post office box instead of Brian Peppers peeking out of a mailbox.
In addition, Brian Peppers is portrayed as a ladies' man in several PTKFGS, featuring a clip of Robo's theme from Chrono Trigger instead of "Burn Bobonga" and the text "Go Brian!" instead of "Brian no!"
  • A clip from the American version of Iron Chef is used where the host eats a green apple instead of a bell pepper.
  • Oprah killing Tom Cruise instead of the reverse used in ytmnd.
  • The Joker singing another part of "Macarron Chacarron" instead of Batman.
  • Colonel Sanders of KFC fame saying, "omg, internet" instead of Ronald McDonald saying, "lol, internet", set to "Golden Age" by Max Coveri.
  • OMG, Secret Communist!, a play on the OMG Secret Nazi! fad with the original forest photoshopped to look like the sickle and hammer insignia of the Soviet Union (or anything implying connections to Communism or the Soviet Union), accompanied by a strobing photo of Josef Stalin and the song "All the Things She Said" sung by t.A.T.u.. Originally, the English version was use, but due to the request of others, the Russian version has been the main choice.
  • Lindsay Lohan changes facial expressions a lot, instead of Lindsay Lohan doesn't change facial expressions, accompanied by the song "Hazel Eyes" by The Darkness.
    • Another version involves Ashley Tisdale doesn't change facial expressions, this one accompanied by "We Built this City" by Jefferson Starship.
  • Summoning of an ice spirit instead of a fire spirit, set to the original "Requiem for a Dream" song from the movie of the same name.
  • A third universe, known as Yes, yes! was created as a result of PTKFGS, featuring another Connery quote. However, this idea was rejected by several YTMND users. It has a green water mark.

There's also a ptkfgs.com that redirects to a random YTMND page each day. These YTMND pages appear to be high-rated ytmnds not necessarily relating to the ptkfgs fad.

Film-related fads

  • "Indiana Jones can't stop the rock"; Raiders of the Lost Ark: Indiana Jones running from a boulder as well as other images of people running with boulders. Usually accompanied by the song "Stop the Rock" by Apollo 440. Sometimes, images of WWE wrestler The Rock will be used. 1
    • In 2005, the creator of the original site Fooliano decided to test out something with the sound. He changed the song from "Stop the Rock" to "Hulkamaniacs in Heaven" by Hulk Hogan and company. Around this time though, max was making some changes to the site, one which would allow sites with the same music so that any sites that used the same sound would use the same file to conserve space. Max turned off uploading just after Fooliano finished uploading his song...resulting in 50 sites that had used the original "Stop the Rock" loop having their song replaced with the Hulkamaniac song. Once max turned uploading back on again, Fooliano decided to change it back to the Stop The Rock track, but none of the sites affected by the glitch had their song changed back. Contrary to rumors, the incident was not the work of hackers.
  • "Uber Hax!!1". Dramatic depictions or scenes paired chronologically with semi-related leetspeak, usually as if the scenes occurred on a multiplayer game server. These YTMNDs have dramatic music, most commonly from "Pompeii" by E.S. Posthumus.
Sometimes combined with the failing horns from The Price Is Right.
  • Gandalf; The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: "You shall not pass!" often accompanied by a picture of a Monopoly board, students taking a final exam, a crossing guard, etc.
  • "MINE! MINE! MINE!"; Finding Nemo: Seagull call. Usually used when someone wants complete ownership of something. Commonly used to poke fun at websites that did not update their copyright year from 2005 to 2006 immediately after the new year began, especially high-power franchises like Google.
  • Chunk is indestructible; Various permutations of the Chunk character from The Goonies, usually showing off his supposed invincibility (his truffle shuffle dance). It should be noted that the original site featured Picard shooting a gun at Chunk and that portion of the clip has also been used in fads. Chunk uses his truffle shuffle to deflect the bullets Usually accompanied by the song "Feuer Frei!" by Rammstein. Sometimes "Du Hast" also by Rammstein may be used.
  • When Spongebob Meets; a scene from the Spongebob Squarepants movie where Spongebob and Patrick meet David Hasselhoff. This was one of the old fads from 2004
  • "The Curb-Stomp scene" from the movie American History X, showing a man killing another person by stomping on his head, often parodized with other persons (for example, The Burger King stomping on the Hamburglar).
  • _____ sees so much beauty; A scene from the movie American Beauty where a plastic bag flies across a street corner. The fad involves various people, normally feeling sad and depressed watching the bag fly. Sites are set to the main theme of American Beauty. The original site featured Jack Bauer from 24.
  • "McFly stole _____"; an altered scene using 2 movies: "Back to the Future Part 2" and "Time Bandits", depicting the Back to the Future character Marty McFly running in a hallway. The original one featured McFly carrying a butterfinger while running from Future Conan.
  • Hobo-Cruise; a scene from the movie Minority Report where Cruise's character is pursuing a pair of eyeballs through a corridor.
  • Snakes on a Plane; various parodies involving the upcoming movie as well as a quote from Samuel Jackson. This was based on an on-going internet phenomenom.
  • It's behind!; a scene from the movie Signs where a television shows a news clip of an alien walking by near a residential area. That person has been photoshopped to show various other people or reactions from others.
  • The Line Must be drawn here, a quote from Star Trek: First Contact by Picard, used in "defining rules" and "teaching classes", for example, the original showed Picard instructing an art student on where to draw the line. Another example focused on recent immigration laws in the U.S.
  • "You're joking. You're joking. I can't believe my eyes.", a line from Nightmare Before Christmas as said by Oogie Boogie. The sound loop is usually coupled with an image of 'badly dressed cosplayer's' or low quality products, that often look nothing like what they are meant to be. (Such as men in Sailor Moon costumes)

Music-related fads

  • The Dew Army - combining an image with a song where the lyrics are taken out of context, are misheard, or are taken literally. Whenever anyone makes a site that fits this description, comments on the site will almost always include "Dew Army FTW", in reference to a site called "DEW" which was among the first of this nature, using the song "Du" by David Hasselhoff.
  • "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora is frequently used to symbolize male homosexuality. It's also used in a fad involving printed, written-word "recreations" of other fads. This is the main song choice for the Gay Fuel fad (listed under Other Fads). Though there have been some suggestions for different music (like "Menergy"), these suggestions never really picked up.
  • Banana Phone by Raffi, one of the original ytmnd fads. Its popularity might have originated from an online flash.
  • Various emo songs are used to parody Emo's target audience. The most popular song for this is Simple Plan's "Untitled".
    • Previously, the main choice was Linkin Park's "Crawling", mainly used in sites depicting angst.
    • Notably, the overuse of the Simple Plan song has become severely irritating to most.
  • "Ding Dong Song" by Günther, sometimes used in sexually implicit sites as well as parodies of the original disc cover by Günther.
  • Famous songs being played in reverse to show hidden messages, often showing that the singer is a "Nazi". Some of them are fake with a voice mixed in.
  • Various songs used for people dancing:
    • "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk, usually accompanied with the title "____ Works It". Made popular by a flash video featuring the video game character Kunio.
    • "Die motherfucker, die motherfucker still fool". Lyrics from the song "Still" by Geto Boys, used for "hardcore" dancing. Also may be used for people getting beaten up.
    • O-Zone's song "Dragostea Din Tei", commonly called "Numa Numa" after the Internet phenomenon of the same name with Gary Brolsma lip-synching the words, usually accompanies people dancing by swaying their heads in a manner similar to Brolsma.
    • "Moskau" by Dschinghis Khan, usually accompanied by synchronized dancing as seen in the original video.
    • Bebubebududeh, a nonsensical line from the song "Party Like it's 1904" by Rex Navarette, set to people dancing in a "retarded" way. Some consider this to be an alternate of the ualuealuealeuale fad.
    • Get Crunk, by Lil John, often showing people rocking back and forth OR drinking some alcoholic beverages.
    • Don't hold back, from the song "Galvanize" by the Chemical Brothers and Q-Tip. Sites normally have one person saying "Don't hold back" followed by another saying "K, lol" and starting a break dance, usually synced to the song. Sometimes, the dancer may say "You got served" at the end.
    • Zazazazazaza, an excerpt from the song "Control Myself" by LL Cool J, often accompanying people dancing or pictures of bees. The excerpt originated from a dew army site called "My Chainsaw", that won one of the top prizes in a recent Dew Army contest. The site described the sound a chainsaw would make. The followup featured Zack Taylor from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers performing his popular dance inside the Hatch from the popular ABC TV show LOST.
  • "Space Jam" by Quad City DJs (from the soundtrack of the movie of the same name) referred to as "Super Slam" and associated with Randy Savage. This was derived from a Flash animation made popular on 4chan. Another popular version features the Space Jam song's lyrics being mixed into a MOD chiptune named "Funky Stars". Sometimes, the song will accompany people getting slammed.
  • Initial D Soundtrack. Various songs from the soundtrack of the anime Initial D, often set to various vehicles racing. The 2 most popular choices are "Running in the '90s", by Max Coveri featured and "Speedy Speed Boy" by Marko Polo. Songs may also show up in some rave sites.
  • Parodies and recreations of the music video for "Take on Me" by A-ha. Usually done in the same style of animation as the music video. This might have been made popular by a similar sequence involving Chris in the Family Guy episode "Breaking Out is Hard to Do".
  • Songs "interpreted" phonetically to English. The fad first involved the Finnish version of the theme song from DuckTales. Some of the misinterpreted lines from the Finnish DuckTales version were used for many sites ("Your arms are broken" and "Taco Nazi" are the best examples of it). Other popular songs misinterpreted include "Heute Ist Mein Tag" by Blümchen, "Call on Me" by Eric Prydz, the German version of the ending to Super Mario Bros. Super Show! ("Do the Mario"), the classical "O Fortuna", the Swedish and Dutch versions of the DuckTales theme, and the Finnish version of the Pokémon rap.
    • One popular mis-interpretation involves a song by Sacred Spirits called "Wishes Of Happiness & Prosperity", where Kirk Douglass's line is mis-interpreted as "I want Sundaes".
  • "Evolution (Time is Pop Mix)" by Ayumi Hamasaki is used as the token song in sites depicting rave culture.
    • Other songs used in rave sites include Darude's Sandstorm, Zombie Nation's Kernkraft 3000, and Transa's Supernova.
  • "Living in ths Sunlight, Loving in the Moonlight" by Tiny Tim, used to show various people "having a wonderful time". The song is associated with some of the gman sites.
The advertising mascot for the Six Flags theme parks (Mr. Six) looked similar to Edgar Ray Killen, an 80-year-old man that was charged with killing three civil rights workers in the 1960s while he was in the Ku Klux Klan. Six Flags then threatened to sue anyone that made the comparison on YTMND. The site was taken down, but the song is used on YTMNDs that declare something or someone to be racist. The original website created by "Radio-F-Software" was relisted, but as an ad for their site.
  • "The Internet is for Porn" from the Broadway musical Avenue Q. Sometimes featuring Cookie Monster due to similaries in the voice.
  • "Great Moments in History." Pictures of plane, train, automobile and boat crashes are set to a clip of "Feel Good, Inc." by the Gorillaz — in particular, the line, "watch the way I navigate—ha ha ha ha ha!" The title of said YTMND's were likely a take-off from a nationally syndicated radio talk show, "The Bob and Tom Show", where they have had numerous segments with titles such as "Great Moments in Presidential History" or "Great Moments in Olympic History".
  • "Move Bitch" by Ludacris is accompanied with pictures of things colliding. Very often, this song will accompany an infamous picture of a runner walking on a racetrack and getting trampled by another runner.
  • "Get Low" by Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz, usually used for things related to "skeet" or people "getting low". The former will feature both the censored and uncensored versions of the "Aww skeet skeet" part of the song.
Sometimes, the song "'Ya Get Skeeted On" by Dark Heartz will be used instead.
  • "X Gonna Give it to Ya" by DMX, accompanied by anything named X or "Ex", sometimes accompanied by pictures of FedEx trucks, packages, and caps.

  • Pi, by Hard 'n Phirm. A portion of the lyrics of the song consists of approximately the first 150 digits of the decimal expansion of pi.
  • The Real... where the "real" version of a song replaces that traditionally used by YTMND creators. Originally started when, in response to the "OMG Secret Communist...!" PTKFGS fad (which had been using the English lyrics for the t. A.T.u. song "All the Things She Said"), someone posted the original PTKFGS with the Russian lyrical version. Others include the "real" version of the "Batman uelelalelale" song, and other non-music related fads.
  • Smack my Bitch up, the song by Prodigy, accompanied by people smacking other people in the face either once or consistantly. The most infamous image associated with the song is a gif of two Pikachus from Pokemon smacking each other.
  • Ghost Love Score, by the rock group Nightwish. An excerpt from the song is often used to make things more "epic" than they really are. The excerpt first camed from an attempted forum fad called "Tennis Man", but was then used for various other sites including the recent "Epic Geordi Manuevers".
  • Cuppycake Gumdrops, a song sung by a little girl, and is used in conjunction with any YTMND that is excessively cute. First used by Max in a YTMND featuring the "Kittyloaf".

The fad truly took off two months later, with the creation of "Kerry Summons a Fire Spirit" by paphan, which for the first time utilized the music from the "Requiem for a Dream" Remix by Clint Mansell in the 'summoning' context. The song "Escape" by Craig Armstrong is sometimes used instead of the "Requiem for a Dream" Remix.

  • "MySpace Suicide". Josh Ballard's MySpace bulletin warning people that he is about to commit suicide.

This was one of the fastest growing fads with about 500 sites in approximately one day. It was a fast passing fad only lasting a few days.
  • "Asiacopter". An animation of an Asian man appearing to spin in the air like a helicopter. These clips are frequently accompanied by an orchestrated version of the Final Fantasy VII "Main Theme" or songs about spinning.

A variant is to start nonsense articles (usually referencing another YTMND fad in some way), wait for it to be nominated for deletion, and then make a YTMND claiming that "Wikipedia hates X", where X is whatever the article concerned.
  • "Michael Moore is too easy to make fun of" shows Michael Moore pounding his fists on a podium. The original was set to a soundclip of Homer Simpson saying "Where's My Burrito?" as a protest against the overused "Peter Griffin outfarted Michael Moore" fad.

  • Supercat. A cat being thrusted in the air after a rescuer flings it off a pole, often accompanied by the Superman theme song and a different image appearing at the sidewalk after falling down, sometimes being referred to as Supercat. The fad originated from a still photograph of a white cat jumping through the air entitled "Up, up, and away!" with the Superman theme as accompaniment. The fad's name "Supercat" was given by the community and the cat jumping off a pole soon emerged to continue the fad (the white cat has been seen photoshopped into the pole cat's footage on several occasions).

Sometimes the sheer novelty of showing the Sweatshirt Guy is the joke. His name comes from the fact that he is almost always wearing a gray sweatshirt.
  • "Yiddish cup". After eBaum's World executive VP Neil Bauman sent a cease & desist letter to Max Goldberg which stated the following line: "Obviously you have lost possession of your Yiddish cup," YTMND users started to poke fun in many ways (and YTMNDs) at this insult attempt, due to the lack of professionalism this sole line denotes.
  • "...stares into your soul" This fad combines a loop of the first movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and an extreme close-up of one's face. Their facial expression is usually serious. The original Soul YTMND featured Conan O'Brien, and was much more serious than other YTMNDs.
  • Diet Coke With _____ Consists of Sites containing photoshoped Diet Coke Cans With unusual flavors. Started out with "Diet Coke With Bacon"
  • CATCH THAT MAN! An image of somebody in a box moving down a wet path with several people running behind him, trying to catch him, accompanied by Japan Break Industries (Eurobeat).
  • ...Revolución! replaces the too common photograph of Che Guevara seen on T-Shirts with other pop culture icons. The first site used replaced Che's face with that of Brian Peppers. The song used in all of the YTMNDs is "Killing in the Name Of" by Rage Against the Machine (Who used the Che Guevara picture as their logo).
  • "...will eat your soul!" Various popular ytmnd and their fads modified to sound and look like zombies (usually Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy").
  • "Carmen Sandiego" This small YTMND fad was started with a Google page that had apparently "found" Carmen. These YTMNDs are usually accompanied with the Rockapella Carmen Sandiego theme song.
  • "Calvin and Hobbes" The last Calvin and Hobbes comic strip with various edits, commonly involving other fads. The first site was accompanied by the song "Concerning Hobbits" from The Lord of the Rings.
  • Razor Gator, a product designed to clean "razor gunk" from disposable razors, accompanied by a song advertising it.
  • Muhammad, sites containing the Danish cartoon drawings of Muhammad from the Jyllands-Posten newspaper that caused a stir in the Islamic world. Many of these sites may have Muhammad Hassan's entrance music added in.
  • Where it isn't, sites that are about the Tomahawk missile, usually making fun of its rather confusing description about how it finds where it is by knowing where it isn't. Remakes usually feature the original audio explanation along with Sigue Sigue Sputnik's "Love Missile F1-11". Some versions of the fad made fun of the phallic nature of the missile in the picture.
  • ...Took Meth and all he got was..., sites that have two pictures of a character before and after "taking meth", though this can range from anything to a clean and dirty picture on an actor to a before and after picture of a young person becoming shriveled and old. Set to the song "Overdose" by Tomcraft. Began when a user created a site that featured a slideshow of disturbing "before/after" pictures of crystal meth addicts that had been published by authorities in Multnomah County, Oregon.
  • Bilbo/Butterfinger - a site parodying the Butterfinger commercials of the 90s features Bilbo and Frodo in a scene where Bilbo is overtaken with a desire to reclaim the ring. Sites followed both featuring other items in Frodo's hand, as well as shots from other movies used to parody the same Butterfinger commercial. The song "I Want Candy" by Bow Wow Wow is the most popular choice.
  • Kids go crazy for..., a part of Hard n' Phrim's "Pi" video showing kids getting excited for random things, like ytmnd or Lamb Chop/Sin City, set to the song "James Brown is Dead" by L.A. Style.
  • age 9, where various fads are recreated with childlike Microsoft Paint-style animations, accompanied by purely acapella renditions of the fads' respective music and sound.
  • YTMND Bop, versions of YTMND songs in Kids' Bop form.
  • Test, where a picture of a high school exam is shown (or another pun on the word "Test") while Rush's "Spirit of Radio" plays. Intended to parody a YTMND that appeared on March 10, 2006, where a user created a similar "test" page that inexplicably was upvoted to be one of the top sites that day.
  • Hey Bob, A series of offensive and even some racist comics, based on the format of comics used on Morning Glory Comics. All of the comics are based on a single strip, and the strip is then edited in various ways to display some joke. The joke usually involves Fred saying "Hey Bob..." and then Bob making an offensive joke about Fred (the black character). In some instances, the characters die, but then re-appear in the next comics. The comics were also submitted to Morning Glory's fan submission section.
  • March 3, 2006; A error glitch involving HTML took over, leading to pages not being displayed properly. Sites often show the infamous error and are combined with other fads.

  • Nintendo 64 kid A little boy screaming at the top of his lungs, "NINTENDO SIXTY FOOOOOUUUUUUUUR" after getting a brand new Nintendo 64 for Christmas. The original video that spawned the fad can be seen on Youtube here.
  • Life Beyond Fads Sites showing a square lens over a portion of a landscape picture, often altering the pic.
  • Serious Business, sites that often involving gamers yelling and over-reacting, mainly in World of Warcraft. Sometimes, such sites may involve other genres like sports, ytmnd fads, etc... The original Cloudsong site was called "WoW is Serious Business". This fad has been getting negative hype from users due to the constant high views from WoW forums.
  • OBEY, a parody of a previous YTMND that had Richard Nixon's picture inside of a computer screen, of which it had the words "OBEY" on it. The fad uses other YTMND or pop culture icons in place of the Nixon picture on the computer screen, mostly accompanied by the song "Shinra Inc." from Final Fantasy VII. The fad was forced by users of the forum "The Price is LOL", a group mainly consisting of '06 forum users.
  • Horse Dick, an audio clip of the user lizardman saying the phrase "Horse Dick". The audio clip was originally used in a site that showed Thomas "Neo" Anderson saying who he really is to Agent Smith from The Matrix. Sites often have that sound clip showing up in random places.
  • holy crap, a meteor!, A landscape picture with a dot entered in the first row of text. The zooming text quality of YTMND made the black dot look as if it was giving off smoke from re-entry, appearing like a meteor. This YTMND's popularity comes from its simple yet ingenious use of said zooming text. Usually accompanied by Lavos' theme from Chrono Trigger. Various other sites show parodies based off the first one, like the dot representing a ball swung by a baseball, or a line of dots made to represent an army.
  • Oozinator, various parodies featuring a recent ad from Hasbro featuring their super soaker. The ad shows a kid shooting his water soaker at various people. Parodies are often sexually implicit and may include "Get Down" by Lil' John.
  • Blur, various sound clips of fads are edited with a "Buzzing" sound to them into words that are not vugarities to make the sound clips seem like vulgarities were edited from the clip, even though no such vugarites are spoken in said clip. Usually pictures of the fads are edited with mosaics over the fad, hence the fads name of "Blur".
  • Windows XP, Various sound clips taken from Windows XP default sound setup, composed into music, accompanied with images of various Windows XP buttons that are combined together to make sprites and animations. The majority of these sites have been Windows XP versions of classic video games, such as Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Bubble Bobble, and Pac-Man.
  • NEDM stands for "not even doom music." it is was said on user spotz's site in reference to him five starring a YTMND that showed a kitten being burned. He had five starred because it featured doom music, then the infamous quote was used. User moheevi then made the original NEDM site and continued making NEDM sites as an homage that "not even doom music" justifies burning cats. Several users then made subsequent YTMNDs, including users stratos-the-bratos and awesomebob. An explanation by user krytycal then followed that explained that NEDM fad despised burning cats. For inexplicable reasons, it also seems to involve chapstick somehow.

YTMND User Related Fads

The neutrality of this section is disputed.
Please see discussion on the talk page.

A few notable members of YTMND have also inspired fads for themselves. Image File history File links Stop_hand. ...

  • JoshCube, owner of SmashBrothersOnline.com. Created articles around the internet saying he was in love with Marin from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Some sites are screenshots of his forum posts, others are just JoshCube in general.
  • Adverb, inkdrinker, and tehpwner2, three YTMND users who downvoted almost every single site that they came across. Inkdrinker, being the most infamous due to his comments on each page he gives a 1 to.
  • Jammno, a World of Warcraft gamer whose horrible broken teeth became a joke through a forum post. Supposedly he'd tried to commit suicide by jumping off a two-story building, busting some of his teeth out. He has promised, on the internet and in print, to reward the first person to explain to him how to get a girlfriend with WoW cash and prizes. Like Adverb, inkdrinker, and other downvoters on YTMND, he accepts abuse and hatred from YTMNDers as long as they increase his celebrity. The most popular Jammo page was not made by Jammno himself, but by a 27 year old female World of Warcraft player.
  • b00n, a user often known for stealing sites and "viewhacking". His most infamous incident involved a Tetris parody of Katrina. After the site received high votes and views, he, without warning, changed the site to "Strokin'" featuring an image from Punch-Out, a site already done by another user. This led to a drop in rating and parodies of him. Just like with inkdrinker, Adverb, and Jammno, he also accepts hatred and abuse.
  • VinnyWeapons, known for posting the same line in each YTMND he reviews: "The robots have taken me. Please send help." Unlike other users who receive negative attention, sites often parodize him and his well known review quote.
  • syncan, creator of some of the most popular YTMNDs including the one that won the Attack of the Show contest, titled "I want YTMND."[5] He also created the popular flash loading feature that changed YTMND forever. Most of the YTMNDs centered around him are in praise of him or his YTMNDs, making him one of the few subjects actually shown in a positive light. However he does have detractors who say that his sites lack originality and are not true ytmnds.
  • Max Goldberg obviously the creator of YTMND gets a lot of fads and sites in his name. (Sometimes an image of wrestler Bill Goldberg will be used).

Sarah Lane is hott! Attack of the Show! (previously named The Screen Savers) is a live gaming and entertainment television program shown on G4 in the United States, G4techTV in Canada, and the HOW TO Channel in Australia. ... The music video for the song featured early computer animation illustrating the lyrics. ...

YTMND forums "forced" fads

The YTMND forum community has, on occasion, pushed several invented fads to the front page users, with the occasional successes including reaching the Top 15 Viewed YTMNDs list as well as the Top 5 Rated YTMNDs. Forum fads, by definition, begin on the YTMND forums; most of these fail to get any views however like the newest attempt at a forum fad "Jew Brew" by the rush of new users but was almost immediately "downvoted" (that is, voted 1 by many users to get it off the front page).


The first of the forum fads, Mike Done, was created with the intention of taking an inside joke even the forum users did not get and thrusting it into the spotlight to confuse or annoy front-page users. Other forum fads followed, including Tennis Man, but only 3 fads were successful, including Gay Fuel, Brian Peppers and Asiacopter.


Asiacopter was an odd fad. Its popularity was sparked only by the remake of a YTMND (originally made by Inkdrinker) by DrWorm, but set to Final Fantasy VII music, plus a thread calling for a Zerg Rush of asiacopters. A select few ytmnd users took it upon themselves to get the fad going, and sparked a huge battle with the big fad at the time "Professor X had one weakness." Eventually the front page was filled with ____copters and weaknesses. Final Fantasy VII ), or Final Fantasy 7, is a console and computer role-playing game released by Square Co. ... A Zerg Rush is a strategy used in the popular Blizzard Developed PC game Starcraft. The strategy revolves rushing the opponents base with a mass of aliens called Zerg to pillage and rape everything that stands before them. ...


Another such forum fad is where users gather together at a certain time and start producing sites with sound and text, but no image. The purpose of this is to confuse the users who only look at the front page of ytmnd. They will think that there is something wrong with their computer, that YTMND is broken, etc. The forum members then up-vote the site by giving it 5's and they post such comments like 'hahahah this is the best ever!'. Most of the time, they combine loads of fads together in the title and some put a (refresh), indicating that once the page is loaded that the viewer must refresh the page to sync it all up. When the forum members do this, it confuses some of the front page people, but it does not confuse many. This is usually because not everyone participates and sites are not made fast enough, so the 5 recently made sites could have two blanks and 3 regular YTMNDs.


As some forum members have explained, the unifying purpose of forum fads is not humor as much as the attempt to interfere with the fad-heavy business as usual on the front page. Despite this, however, this has led to many arguments between forum members, usually between people joining simply to express their annoyance with seemingly non-sensical series of YTMND's and regular users of the forums. It has even led to arguments between other regular users themselves, which as a result some users have put images of fights and with the words "YTMND FORUMS" displayed in several users' signatures. It has also led to a YTMND itself entitled "THE OFFICIAL YTMND FORUMS YTMND" with an excerpt of the trailer for the film Green Street Hooligans edited with the avatars of some users to give people an idea of how disorganised the forums can be.


Brief list of YTMND in-jokes

  • "BRBFBI", a phrase commonly used when pedophilia or other illegal activity appears in conversation. The phrase was born from frequently threatened police and FBI intervention during a string of forum raids in the summer of 2005, this was mostly due to the raids on various Natalee Holloway chats and forums. All sites in this fad use Moby's rendition of the theme song to Mission: Impossible.
  • "also cocks.", a phrase derived from the infamous 'Ridin Spinnaz' YTMND. Used as a non sequitur way to end a post.
  • "RAGED", often in large capital letters and bold font, is used when a forum member has lost their cool. The forum user who succeeds in angering or "raging" the other is usually seen as the dominant party in the conversation. The origin of this is probably from FF8, in which one of Seifer's 2 goons says very little throughout the game. She is most remembered by saying "RAGED" and kicking the other in the shin)
  • "No Homers" is a term said to a newcomer to YTMND that is very annoying. The phrase originated from moderator MillionsV, who noticed while looking at the ban list, that adinistrator clay had banned long-time member Introducing..., with no reason given other than "no homers". (See also - NoHomers)
  • "gtfo" is an acronym standing for "get the fuck out." Veteran members often use this phrase to quickly dismiss a new user's first post.
  • "amirite" is a contraction of "Am I right?" commonly used after distasteful jokes. An example would be if somebody was talking about Courteney Cox, followed by another person stating, "Courteney Cox, more like Caught-any Cocks, amirite?" or "Halo, more like GAYlo, amirite?! AMIRITE?!"
  • "eabod probleak" or "eat a bowl of dick probleak" is a very offensive phrase that people used to reply to probleak after she spoke offensively to them.
  • "c u @ ALOL" is a common phrase, used on the YTMND forumers by members of the forum almightylol.com to show disapproval of the state of the YTMND forums. almightylol.com was a forum created by YTMND forumers Tokosan and Pidda for users of the old YTMND forums after they were shut down in 2005. almightylol.com may also be abbreviated "ALOL", as to bypass the censor put on the word "almighty lol" on the YTMND temporary forums. This phrase is adapted from a phrase, c u @ allgames, used by members of interflop.com, a forum made for YTMND forumers who registered in 2004.
  • "balls are touching" is a reference to a 4chan saying, "It's only gay if the balls touch;" the original meaning has largely been lost on YTMND, and the phrase can usually interpreted to be mildly offensive nonsense.
  • "gb2/..." Meaning "go back to". People will often quote a person's message and link to a message board, telling them to go back to said message board. Boards.ign.com, for example, a board widely disliked by YTMND forumers will often be someone's response to a bad joke a user posted or in some cases a new user who formerly posted at that board. These messages are very insulting to a YTMND forumer, as they hold the IGN boards and many other message boards in high contempt. Various boards may be used in this insult including:
    • boards.ign.com, specifically the Vestibule, altered with such names as the "Fagstibule".
    • boards.gamefags.com
    • gaiaonline.com
    • almightylol.com, said to almightylol users
    • thepriceislol.com, said to thepriceislol users (a board created after the temporary forums after the crash developed their own culture)
    • fp Short for Front Page, meaning www.ytmnd.com
  • Hating members who joined in 2006. Many threads have been posted along the lines of "GTFO '06ers", "All 06'ers shut the fuck up and get the fuck out", etc. "GTFO 06'er" is commonly used, and veteran members have a tendency to ignore posts or flame merely because a member joined in 2006.
  • "The Robots have taken me, Please send help". More of a comments page in-joke, it was started by user VinnyWeapons, who posted it on every comment he made. It spawned many spinoffs such as "VinnyWeapons has taken me, Please send lube." and "VinnyWeapons has juvenile diabetes, please send insulin". One now seldom goes to a popular site's comments without seeing one of these "robots" spinoffs.
  • "Tits or GTFO". The response to any female user of the forums. Unsurprisingly, YTMND forums has very few female users.

List of fads and trends - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (566 words)
A fad, also known as a craze, refers to a fashion that becomes popular in a culture relatively quickly, but loses popularity dramatically.
For example Dayglo paint and clothing was a fad in Europe and the USA the late 1970s.
It is arguable that a fad that remains popular for a significant amount of time typically loses its significance in current popular culture as it evolves and becomes accepted into a society's everyday culture (e.g., television, Internet, Music, Video Games, dances, etc...)
