Dave Cockrum

## Cockrum

Most commented on YTMND site of all time. Several users noticed that Dave Cockrum's name was censored to "Dave C\*ckrum", while "Fuck" was not filtered. This situation still remains the same to present day. Due to this oddity, the site was spammed constantly for a little over a month until it reached the #1 spot on the most commented of all time. It is also the first YTMND to receive 5,000 comments. Thanks Dave. Dave Cockrum was recently featured in the fad compilation "Caricature YTMND" by n8dogg.

## About Dave Cockrum

Dave Cockrum, born with a deformed (i.e., small) right arm, created Nightcrawler and many other characters for Marvel Comics. He died of complications from diabetes on November 26th, 2006. A few days later, a fad based on him was made in his memory.

Meme

## Origin of word

"Meme" is a word coined by evolutionary biologist and zoologist Richard Dawkins (in his book The Selfish Gene) as the unit of cultural inheritance, analogous to a gene (the unit of biological inheritance). The word is pronounced to sound like "gene". In the book, Dawkins argued that ideas behaved analogously to selfish biological replicators, being passed down from generation to generation and occasionally experiencing a change (mutation) which made them more popular.

The term was soon used to describe the meme-like fashion in which various internet jokes come and go.

The theory of memetics is controversial, and not everyone accepts that the analogy is entirely fitting.

## Memes and fads

There are two ways of looking at memes in regards to YTMND fads. The first is that all fads are memes, and that 'fad' is merely a word for memes used on YTMND. The other is that fads and memes are two separate entities, though there are often some memes that turn into fads.
Interpretation

The **Interpretation** fad is one of several types of misinterpretation fads in which songs, typically sung in a foreign language, are phonetically "interpreted" (ad-lib) to English. The fad, started in 2004, first involved the Finnish version of the theme song from *DuckTales*. The most popular phrases to come from this YTMND include "Your arms are broken!", "Uncle Lina" and "taco not see". Since then, they have expanded to include translations from other language versions of *DuckTales* and other series, as well as general non-English songs such as Heute Ist Mein Tag. Another popular song is the German version of the ending of the *Super Mario Bros. Super Show*.

An Interpretation fad is similar to a Dew! fad, but differs by having a much longer sound clip. Instead of having an image which relates to the topic of the YTMND, the full interpreted lyric is written on the background image, with the topic of the YTMND saying something about the interpretation, usually "WTF?".

The original Finnish DuckTales YTMND was part of a smaller, more obscure fad where international versions of TV show themes are played. The YTMND, Finnish DuckTales! by Boredalot, was originally textless until he received many comments telling him to add "Your arms are broken" as text. This eventually led to pouriton creating the first interpretation site the day following the addition of text.

For the last time

"For the last time" is a fad created in October 2006.

The image in this YTMND is from a quite famous 4chan thread where a user posted a creepy story about his recurring nightmares about a baboon that would torment him in his sleep.

Kacen, the fad's maker, drew inspiration for it from two other YTMNDs originally made by Zeratul86, who similarly employed pictures from 4chan creepy-threads to the Silent Hill soundtrack.

Soon after it was sponsored, extremejon made an edit of it with happycat replacing the baboon entitled Don't look into its eyes!. It received Moderate popularity; the YTMND that gave the fad its name and got the fad going was "You have forgotten for the last time!" by extremejon.

The fad always shows the Kitchen scene, with a dark, photoshopped face in the window where the baboon originally was, accompanied by Silent Hill music. The preloader is essential, as it provides the "Sting" of the scary image.

The music, called "The Darkness That Lurks In Our Mind", is originally from the soundtrack of Silent Hill 2.

Alarm clock

A picture of an alarm clock poorly edited to look as though somebody's face was where the actual face of the clock would normally be. It started as ooooolarmclock and then people began to use just about any face in the middle. The sound is usually of a band or singer singing the words 'get up' or something similar.
I'M NOT SEEING IT HERE LLOYD

**I'M NOT SEEING IT HERE LLOYD** was a fad created in February 2007 in which the character known as Harry from Dumb and Dumber openly exclaims "I'M NOT SEEING IT HERE LLOYD!" The quote is usually used in context of something that is invisible, usually something YTMND-related. Most of the sites seem to be statements based on what the user wants to see. For example, quite a few sites were created calling to attention the YTMND Moderation System and how people aren't seeing it here (Lloyd, 1998). It quickly wore off its popularity however, becoming a dead fad.

Envelopes

A very brief, but emotionally overwhelming fad unintentionally started by Feedrosie in August 2007 with the creation of OMG! ORANGE ENVELOPE!

The fad was born one day in YTMND IRC when dascoot typed "OMG ORANGE ENVELOPE!" entirely out of the blue. Feedrosie then became truly inspired and made his site within minutes.

All of the sites are generally accepted as poor quality and take no longer than 10-30 minutes to make (although half a brain to do them well). It is commonly upheld that this fad will never be brought up or spoken of ever again.

The original sound was epic pirate music from Hook, but users have used everything from the Punchout theme to Drum and Bass to Coldplay.

Oogie Boogie Comments

**Oogie Boogie Comments on....** is a fad utilizing a musical piece from Tim Burton's 1993 stop motion animated musical film *The Nightmare Before Christmas.* The piece, entitled *Oogie Boogie's Song,* contains a clip where the character Oogie Boogie mockingly states "You're Joking! You're Joking! I can't believe my eyes!" This clip is usually utilized in conjunction with some sort of absurd or easily-mocked picture. **Oogie Boogie Comments on...** is known to be particularly unforgiving to cosplayers.
I Love Bell Peppers

Iron Chef is a Japanese cooking show where a chef competes with an elite chef in a cookout. The host of the show is Chairman Takeshi Kaga.

The fad started on July 2, 2005 with a ytmnd titled "I love bell peppers!". The YTMND featured the opening sequence of the show, where Kaga bites a huge chunk of a bell pepper in a very enthusiastic manner. The image is accompanied with the song *Fury of the Storm* by the power metal group DragonForce. The audio origin is a previous YTMND-site, and the image is from AlbinoBlackSheep forums in early 2002. The site quickly became popular and it did not take long for various parodies to take place. The scene has been parodized to show him eating various other objects. Sometimes his face will be photoshopped so that others (Brian Peppers, James T. Kirk, etc...) are eating them. The fad requires a lot of editing, making "Bell Peppers" one of the most difficult fads to create YTMNDs for.

The song "Fury of the Storm" gained major popularity and has been used for various other sites either as "battle music" or for sites depicting "metal".

Chocolate New Orleans

The **Chocolate New Orleans** fad spawned from a speech given by New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin on Martin Luther King Day, in which he called for the establishment of a chocolate city.

The speech contained several bewildering ideas, including Nagin professing to have spoken to Martin Luther King and, the 2006 hurricane season being a punishment from God for the US-led invasion of Iraq. As he reached his conclusion, Nagin referred to the reconstruction of New Orleans following the damage of Hurricane Katrina, and stressed that the rebuilt city would maintain it's largely black population:

> "We ask black people: it's time. It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild a New Orleans, the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans. And I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day."
>
>

The misconception that Nagin was calling for an *entirely* black population and the absurdity of his metaphor resulted in widespread mockery, particularly on YTMND, where Willy Wonka was already an established fad. Most sites utilizing the Chocolate New Orleans fad feature the tell-tale soundbyte of Nagin as well as a scene where buildings are altered to look brown in order to create the illusion they are made of chocolate.

One of the more notable musical selections for the fad is "The Land of Chocolate." The music originated from a scene in the Simpsons episode "Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk" in which Homer Simpson daydreams of a literal chocolate city.

Hey Dude

The "Hey Dude" fad started from a moderator's favorite called "Hey bro", a site that featured President George W. Bush waggling his eyebrows at British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The waggles were synced to an excerpt from the song "Soccer Practice" by Johnny McGovern:

**Hey Dude, I was thinking if we could do....something....dirty, yeah.**

Though this song had previously been used in the sites naked chicks and Joker + Lex Luthor, "Hey bro" was the first notable usage of the song.

The fad took off months after the original site, and was initiated from a now deleted "Hey Harry" site, showing actress Emma Watson winking at Daniel Radcliff of "Harry Potter fame". Eventually, similar sites were spawned. The majority of the sites involve a male waggling his eyebrows at another male.

LSD

On December 22, the renowned YTMNDer Syncan created "Willy Wonka's Acid Trip (YTMNLSD)". Taken from a scene from *Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory*, it features a close-up shot of Willy Wonka's as he glances around. With colored lights playing off his face, the swirling colored background, and the expression of suspicion-bordering-on-panic on his face, it became perfect for a reference to hallucinations caused by drugs. Syncan edited in blurred, translucent, fading images of various YTMND icons and fads, giving the effect that Wonka's eyes were darting from one YTMND inspired hallucination to the next.

The sound used was the opening to Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit. Mixed into the song are echoing clips from various YTMNDs, giving the impression of auditory hallucinations accompanying the visual.

The sites spawned from Willy Wonka's Acid Trip share several features. One is the close-up of an YTMND icon, as either their eyes dart back and forth, they sway around, or a similar drug-inspired behavior. The next is the blurry YTMND images appearing and disappearing around them. The sites use a clip of Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit, using clips from popular YTMNDs. Each successive one will often use clips from the most recent popular YTMNDs to 'recap' what has come around since the last YTMNLSD was created. Finally, the most common feature is the usage of the '(YTMNLSD)' tag at the end of the title of the YTMND.

There are several sites that sport the '(YTMNLSD)' tag that don't have the above features; however, they almost exclusively maintain the themes of recreational drug use and hallucinations.

George Costanza

The **George Costanza** fad, started in October 2005, features a site consisting of a GIF of George Costanza (played by Jason Alexander) from the American sitcom Seinfeld. The GIF was modified to show milk shooting out of his nipples, accompanied by the Japanese theme song from the anime Naruto, "Go Go Naruto!".

The site originally gained popularity by the sheer silliness of its content, but gained further views after Max sponsored the site with a $20 donation.

## Nipple shoot Fad

This fad involves a GIF of shirtless George Costanza, from the *Seinfeld* episode "The Hamptons," shooting milk out of his nipples and catching it in his mouth. In the episode, Jerry's girlfriend Rachel accidently came into the room and saw George naked after he was swimming. As a result, he had "shrinkage," and the GIF used shows his reaction to Rachel. Oftentimes, the milk is replaced with other fads. Recently though, some of the fad sites appear to have been deleted though.

## Other fads

Another fad involves a scene from the episode "The Susie," in which George is waiting for his girlfriend, whom he doesn't like calling him, so he can ignore her. As a result, his answering machine message is heard, featuring a song sung to the tune of the theme from *The Greatest American Hero* ("Believe it or not, George isn't at home!"). Sites will either use his quote or show George moving to other music. One of the earliest sites on YTMND, George Costanza, features this song.

Nigga Stole My Bike

**“Nigga Stole My Bike!!!”** is a YTMND by user Duezce. It is was created on July 25, 2004, and is the original inspiration for the Nigga Stole My Bike fad. It's components are an edited picture of the video game *Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!* taken from the March 20, 2003 edition of Something Awful's Photoshop Friday, a short sound clip of Duezce saying "Nigga stole my bike," and text that reads, "Nigga Stole My Bike!" The image shows Doc Lewis (often referred to as the Nigga) riding a bike and Little Mac following. This is an actual event in the original game, with Little Mac training by jogging behind Doc, who is on the bike.

Despite the fact that it was Duezce's YTMND that inspired the Nigga Stole My Bike fad, user leileilol's Nigga stole my bike, Punchout remix is the site most often associated for the fad, with over 1,000,000 views, while Duezce's original has barely over one-third that many views.

## Fad

The "Nigga Stole My Bike" (commonly initialed as NSMB) fad had many variants:

* Original image with text was created by user "Garage Battle" from Offtopic.com in Jan 2003
* Parodies of the original image.
* One variant involves other people stealing the bike or running after the thief.
* Early sites placed the Nigga in other video games stealing various modes of transportation (e.g. Yoshi from Super Mario World, Kirby's Warp Star, Chocobo from Final Fantasy, Robotnik's Machine from the Sonic Series, etc...) with the quote remixed to their respectful game music.
* Some sites will be a "faggy short film" showing the Nigga stealing another vehicle.
* In the Wii version of Punch-Out, one of Doc Louis' tips says, "Hey Mac, when this match is over, I'm gonna be riding your bike. Haha!" which is as close to the fad as it's going to get on Nintendo's family friendly terms.

Note that for some of these sites, the original Punch-Out theme and not CheapAlert's song may be used.

## PTKFGS

In the PTKFGS universe, the nigga is replaced with a spic (derogatory term for a Hispanic person), complete with a sombrero on the Hispanic's head.

## NARV Status

As of recently, while some NSMB sites have involved editing and the adding of Punch-Out sprites along with remixes, a huge number of sites have been of lazy edits. NARVish sites will often have overused images and unfunny jokes that have already been played to death here.

## Abbreviation Problems

The abbreviation for this fad is NSMB (Nigga Stole My Bike), which is the same abbreviation as
New Super Mario Brothers (NSMB). This has spawned many YTMNDs with the same, or slightly different, New Super Mario Brothers image which has got increasingly more boring and unoriginal.

Bebubebududeh

The **bebubebududeh** fad, also known as "Party Like It's 1904", originated from the "Ualuealuealeuale" fad sometime in 2005, but it was never popularized as a fad until March of 2006, when the site "Homer: bebubebududeh" was created. While the original YTMND featured Batman dancing along with a clip from (the e:trinity Dumb Hard House remix of) Rex Navarrete's comedy routine, "Party Like It's 1904," the Homer site showed Homer Simpson dancing in one place with the same clip. The voice in that song was similar to that of Homer, making the site very popular.

Incidentally the artist who created that remix is a YTMND user, who was quite shocked and amused that his tune was being used as a YTMND song.

Though only 1 full page of sites show up, the song has been used in over 100 sites.

That Boy Needs Therapy

Around Christmastime 2005, syncan created a YTMND called "Tom Cruise Needs Therapy". The site showed Tom Cruise's face photoshopped on to actor Jake Gyllenhal from the movie Donnie Darko, holding a knife in a house during a thunderstorm. Scientology crosses can be seen on the windows as the lightning flashes. The song "Frontier Psychiatrist" by The Avalanches accompanies the site including the main excerpt "That Boy Needs Therapy".

The original site lead to a major fad. There are 3 variations to this fad:

* Other people's faces will be photoshopped on to Jake's face, with some minor image/sound editing.
* The original scene from Donnie Darko may be remade/recreated.
* Pictures of people going crazy, set to the music.

Elvis

On November 14, 2006, a forced fad made simply of pictures of Elvis set to the song "Mmm Skyscraper I Love You" by Underworld featuring the lines "I see Elvis... Elvis". This was based of an early site in January 2006 by Whodatyousaid. It did not take long for copycat sites were made by users who were not even in on the Ventrilo in-joke, which came out of nowhere and inspired the numerous YTMNDs within seconds. It was launched out of boredom and acknowledgement of Elvis' icon.

Some of the sites are classic-style YTMNDs with a still image, sound, text, and one focus. Others use the original picture and sound, but no text.

**Lollerskates** is an Internet meme and YTMND fad based on an ASCII animation of stick figure appearing to be skating with the LOL acronym as his skates. Starting the 7th of May 2004 with LOLLERSKATES!!1 by user Mynameisdan, many YTMNDs have been made in the years following, although the very first didn't use the stick animation.

HOMOTMND

**HOMOTMND** is a fad about simondeansmilk alias ChristianU2ber, a 12 year old user on YouTube that create several vlog videos about Christianity and threatening people to stop copying his videos. Arguably his most famous video, *stop calling me a homo* has him complaining about people calling him a homo. During the video, he loses his temper and throws an object on the floor, yelling "I WILL NOT HAVE IT!".

MrSinistar noticed that one of his friends on YouTube favorite a video entitled, *Re: stop calling me a homo* and wanted to make a YTMND about it in April 2009. By splicing up the Fighting Words footage and the original "stop calling me a homo" video he made the first HOMOTMND. Other users like Uncircumcised, c0rPsE, and lickitwellhiem soon made other HOMOTMNDs then edited the wiki page, then realized they were all friendless virgins.

Leeroy Jenkins

The **Leeroy Jenkins** fad on YTMND is based on the broader internet meme about a video clip where Leeroy ruins his guild's carefully-planned attack in World of Warcraft by rushing headlong into battle shouting his name. The original video, though many took it to be real, was actually staged.

In Leeroy's first appearance on YTMND, Hammersong used a remix of Snap's "The Power" featuring Leeroy's catchphrases "LEEROOOOOOOY JEEENKIIIIIINSSS!!!" and "...At least I have chicken." The image for the YTMND was a promotional poster of Martin Lawrence in medieval armor from the movie *Black Knight*, with a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken photoshopped in. Lawrence has since become the de facto visual representation of Jenkins on YTMND, which (along with his love of chicken) has creatied the misconception among YTMND users that the real Leeroy is black.

A typical Leeroy Jenkins YTMND simply uses him saying his name to interrupt a scene. A variant of the fad juxtaposes him with other people with similar names, such as "Officer Leroy" from United States of Whatever, the free jazz violinist Leroy Jenkins, and the evangelist Leroy Jenkins. Other Leeroy sites may have the original dialogue set to remixes.

On November 16, 2005 on an episode of *Jeopardy!*, one of the answers mentioned Leeroy Jenkins. The next day, the top 15 was filled up with various Alex Trebek/Leeroy Jenkins sites with the most popular using the music used in the first Leeroy Jenkins site.

No Class

The **No Class** fad began on May 10, 2006 with the site "Riker has NO CLASS.", which was an altered image from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Rascals". The image originally showed Riker looking at a younger Picard. The altered image added toilets to show that both were in the bathroom and Riker was "peeking" at the boy. The music that was used was Joe Hisashi's Riverside from the movie Kikujiro.

After the initial fads, a string of other sites followed, usually showing sexual innuendos with various shows, movies, etc.

Brick Killed a Guy

**Brick Killed** is a series of YTMNDs created by Ozone31 featuring a scene from the film Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy in which Brick Tamland (played by Steve Carell) throws a trident into the heart of another newscaster who is riding a horse during a "vicious cockfight" among all the news anchors from the different television stations. Brick always ends with his trademark smile.

There are currently 11 official entries into the series, but there are several unofficial sites made by both Ozone31 and tributes by other fellow YTMND members.

Asiacopter

The **Asiacopter fad** is unique as it was forced by the ytmnd forums. The original site was made on July 8, 2005 by the notorious mod inkdrinker. The picture, taken from North Carolina State University's "WolfWeb" message board, featured an Asian student spinning in the air in his room like he was a helicopter, using a process called stop motion animation. The song that accompanied it was "Crack Hitler" by Faith No More.

Despite the fad's popularity, the site received a low-rating, probably due to the amount of users who resent inkdrinker for his downvoting.

After the original, users from the ytmnd forum forced the fad and more Asiacopter sites spawned, but instead of "Crack Hitler", they used the song "Highwind Takes to the Skies" from Final Fantasy VII. The fad was made popular by the user DrWorm1125. Asiacopter sites either involve the boy flying around various places or alterations to the Asiacopter image.

In the early days, users began a push to force Asiacopter sites to dominate the top 15 to counter the brand-new "One Weakness" fad. At one point, the top 15 was dominated by Weakness and Asiacopter sites.

Inkdrinker has commented before that Asiacopter's success was totally unintentional and that he believed the difficulty of editing an animated picture frame by frame would make Asiacopter impossible to popularize. As a result, it is a very difficult fad to work with and fad sites will rarely spawn.

Caramelldansen

**Caramelldansen** is an Internet meme and YTMND fad based on a sped up remix of the 2001 song of the same name by Swedish group Caramel. Oddly, YTMNDs regarding this meme didn't pop up until the end of 2007.

Rave

**Rave** sites involved images of people dancing to various rave songs, sometimes holding glowsticks. These images are flashy and have different colors. Though there were various attempts since the start of ytmnd, it wasn't until May 2005 that the rave fad kicked off.

## First successful rave site

Around May 2005, the user rogerpyoko created a site called "LASER RAVE", which showed various robots from the cartoon Transformers shooting laser and appearing to be raving. The song choice was "Evolution (Time Is Pop)" by J-Pop artist Ayumi Hamasaki. The site quickly took in a high rating and has amounted over 175,000 views. Shortly after, rave sites were created using that song "Time Is Pop".

## Other song choices

Shortly after, rave sites began to use a variety of songs. Some of the most popular ones include:

* "Kernkraft 400" by Zombie Nation, used in a lot of Zombie-styled raves (eg, Zombie Rave (Updated Audio))
* "Supernova" by Transa (eg, War of the Worlds aliens came........TO RAVE!)
* "Sandstorm" by Darude ( eg It's a RAVE!!! (updated with new music))

In addition, various songs will often be remixed into rave songs using either audiotools, or the internet to find various remixes. Some fads may be remixed into "rave remixes" with their dialogue set to the music.

Butt Racing

The *butt-racing* fad typically uses stop motion animation to simulate one or more people racing while sitting on their butts. The sound most commonly used with the fad is *Speedy Speed Boy*, by Marko Polo, which is from the *Initial D* soundtrack.

The butt racing fad started in 2005 when user joshawow created the site Butt Racing, a stop-motion site inspired by Asiacopter. However, the fad didn't take off until he posted ButtRacing Grand Prix a few days later.

Foot Doctor

Foot Doctor is another interruption fad similar to NEDM and Thwomp, either being a parody of interruption fads or a true interruption fad. Foot Doctor sites typically involve a crude image of a foot with a face and doctor's mirror pasted onto someone's shoulders. Some sites also include a hand with a similar face. As the YTMND progresses, the Foot Doctor and hand interrupt the YTMND and the Hydrocity Zone Act 1 song from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 starts.

## Origins

Foot Doctor was created by YTMND user jerwil in response to a comment made by mattdh12 regarding an NEDM site called With Alltel Wireless you can.... Mattdh12 stated his disapproval of NEDM sites and replied in two posts:

* "give me a break. its to the point im DISGUSTED to see nedm. movie clip/commercial clip/internet clip: person 1 says "blah blah blah blah blah" person 2 says "blah blah blah blah blah" person 1 says "blah blah blah blah NEDM" then the music kicks in. this has been done FIFTY MILLION FUCKING TIMES, drives me CRAZY. seriously, do you people LIKE hearing the same joke OVER and OVER again? is it seriously funny the 5,000,000th time? come up with ANYTHING different. seriously, ANYTHING. movie clip/commercial clip/internet clip: person 1 says 'blah blah blah blah blah' person 2 says 'blah blah blah blah blah' person 1 says 'blah blah blah blah FOOT DOCTOR!' then random foot doctor music kicks in.....yeah, ANYTHING will be better than the same thing weve seen SOOOOO many times".

The next day jerwil had created a new version of the aforementioned Alltel Wireless NEDM site, resulting in the first Footdoctor site. mattdh12 was the first to comment on the site and said he actually found it funny and said the music fitted perfectly.

jerwil has since posted a "Hi-Def Extended Edition of F00TD0CT0R" containing hi-res versions of "Foot Doctor" and "Hand Patient" to aid others in making Foot Doctor sites.

Steve Irwin

**Steve Irwin**, the world-renowned "Crocodile Hunter", was killed by a stingray attack during filming for a new documentary on September 4th, 2006. The news resulted in a flurry of new YTMNDs ranging from tributes to mockeries.

As with the Dick Cheney and Pluto fads, there was no original YTMND or spinoffs; instead, there was a near-simultaneous reaction to the news. The only consistent elements among the sites are images of Steve Irwin and/or stingrays; many of them are little more than screenshots of internet news stories, with "RIP Steve Irwin 1962-2006" or similar text.

There are many other popular variants of the fad:

* Sites asking for 'Revenge'. These sites will either show others preparing to avenge the death of Irwin or Steve Irwin returning back to kill stingrays.
* Death parodies, mainly in the form of video games, Pokémon being the most popular

The Steve Irwin fad was one of the fastest growing fads since the infamous Myspace Suicide fad in December 2005, with over 100 sites created within the first 24 hours. A common criticism of the fad is the lack of originality. At the beginning, there was nothing but news article screenshots and sites saying "RIP Steve Irwin", almost always using sad music including the "Lonely Man Theme". Also, there were non-stop attempts at creating "One Weakness" and "lol stingray" sites, further raising its NARV status. Afterwards, an article emerged, describing the deaths of stingrays since Steve Irwin's death. That day, around 10-12 news screenshot sites were created.

Hypnotic Hands

The **Hypnotic Hands** fad was started on March 22, 2006 when karndude created an YTMND of actor Charles Martinet moving his hands around in an "extreme fashion" from a promotional video on his web site. Charles is most known as the voice of Mario in such video games as *Super Mario 64* as well as the voice of Luigi and Wario in *Mario Kart 64*. Since then he has done voice work for 48 other video games (mostly of Mario / Nintendo relation).

The fad usually consists of edited versions of the original YTMND with Charles Martinet doing an action, such as eating popcorn, or cutting someone's hair, etc. The song "Stealing the Fat" by the Dust Brothers usually accompanies the fad.

Razor Gator

**Razor Gator** is a tool for cleaning disposable razors to extend their usefulness. The product is marketed with an unusually catchy jingle.

On September 16, 2005, a user named "razorgator" joined YTMND.com and posted a YTMND site, Razor Gator !!! Cleans Disposable Razors!!, depicting the Razor Gator, the URL for Razor Gator's website and playing the Razor Gator jingle. Sponsorship of the site caused it to frequently appear on YTMND's front page, where it attracted attention for its shameless commercialism, infectious song, and the strangeness of the Razor Gator itself. The site is now listed as one of the Moderator Favorites.

On the 31st of August, 2006, the User "razorgator" posted a new YTMND containing the infamous Razor Gator in the hands of many of YTMND's favorite fads. the YTMND included the Razor gator theme song to a new Soft Rock tune. The description of the YTMND is a thank you to the YTMND Community for its support: Razor Gator Anthem: Tribute To YTMND. Razor Gator supports and appreciates the YTMND community. Enjoy the new anthem. Only takes a minute!"

Pluto

On August 24, 2006, the International Astronomical Union came to a decision redefining the term "planet" as well as adding a few new terms such as "dwarf-planet". Among the most controversial decisions was to remove planet status from Pluto, reclassifying it as a "dwarf-planet". Soon after the announcement, Pluto sites began to pop up.

Most of these sites unfortunately were NARV-styled sites, with countless emo, sad music, and "fail at life" sites. Though the fad spawned many sites during the days after the announcement, most of them failed to get attention on YTMND, causing the fad to eventually die.

Oven of Power

The **oven of power** fad is based on a site created by RescueRanger in August 2007. In the original, an oven was shown with a button saying "stop time." The intended joke was that the oven was so powerful that it could stop time, rather than the intended effect of just setting when to stop the timer. Spinoff sites have simply edited the original image in various ways. The site's music is the main them from the SNES game Chrono Trigger, in which the manipulation of time figures heavily into the plot.

Chadwardenn

Chad Warden (or Chadwardenn, as he was known on YouTube) was an infamous troll who posted a series of videos in which he tried to explain why the Playstation 3 was better than the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360. He attempted to act all ghetto and "gangsta" in these videos, and used the n-word frequently, despite obviously not being black. His arguments were also so poorly constructed as to be hilarious (for example, he claimed the Wii controller looked like a dildo and went on to say "I ain't trying to play my games with no DIL-DO"). Despite the fact that he was obviously trolling, thousands of people took him seriously and he became one of the all - time most infamous youtube trolls. Even though he closed his account, his original videos are still mirrored by many people and clips of him are still used in many parodies, such as youtube poop.

As a fad on YTMND, he was popularized by users Lcadwallader and Dunsparce in March 2007, who often shorted his name to "Chawa". The fad recently caught on with other users, and ChadWardenn sites are being made with increasing frequency.

Some sites also feature another YouTuber, Anthony Perez, who made videos supporting, agreeing with, and trying to imitate Chad Warden. Anthony Perez thus became the PTKFGS version of Chad Wardenn and is sometimes seen as his friend/sidekick in various sites.

Mario Kart

While **Mario Kart** does not stand as a fad on its own, it is a often referenced in other fads. Fads which include a Mario Kart spinoff include butt racing, Hobo-Cruise, and TIME TO DO BATTLE!.

Probably the most famous use of Mario Kart in a fad would be stratos-the-bratos's Hobo-Cruise vs. Mario & Toad. This YTMND stayed on the Top 5 Rated for many weeks, and its music, "Mario Ciruit Final Lap," was subsequently included in Volume 10 of the YTMND Soundtrack.
