Beans and Cornbread

**Beans & Cornbread** is a fad named after the song Beans and Cornbread by Louis Jordan, which is used for the fad. The original site was created back in October 2006, with little impact. But in March 2007, Max, who was about to create a similar site himself but found he had been beaten to it, improved the original instead. After these imposed edits, the site began to receive generous votes and views for a short period. Predictably, the site was taken by many as a racist joke at the expense of black people, when it was essentially a very simple YTMND combining the classic style of picture, sound and text coherently together with the catchy song.

Consequently, the fad which spawned is often subject to stereotyping blacks for their supposed love of beans and cornbread, or some mixed variant created by a user. The fad also depicts people in blackface portraying them as racist. A picture of Al Jolson and pictures cut out from the original Beans and Cornbread YTMND are used. Beans and Cornbread initially did not pickup as a fad, even after the edits by Max. However, after the inclusion of the song on the YTMND soundtrack, and the eventual emergence of spinoffs, Beans and Cornbread evolved into a mini-fad.

Most of the sites representing the small fad depicted racism and were poorly done. Many of the sites involved the photoshopping of Al Jolson from The Jazz Singer on random images with little or no edits to the sound. The fad was easily detested and faded out within days. Max himself would later add he was disappointed with the reaction to the site, stating he "couldn't agree more" with the accusation that the 'racism' gimmick ruined the wholesomeness of the site. It is thus considered to be a dead fad.

New License

**New License** is a fad created in February 2007 based on the scene from the 2007 film Superbad. In the movie, there is a scene where the character Seth (Jonah Hill) checks out his friend Fogell's (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) fake ID card. According to the card, he is a 27-year-old from Hawaii who goes by the name "McLovin'". As he reads the card, Seth comments with disdain on how "it doesn't even have a first name, it just says McLovin'!"

YTMNDs based on this scene usually replace "McLovin'" with any given fad.

Lounge

**Lounge** is a forced fad from early 2006 revolving around a full screen picture of a lounge. Frustrated with much of the front page sites of the time, MasterSitsu simply put up a picture of a lounge as a blank canvas asking people to make some sites for him, with the open reward of 5'd sites for contributions. Some users created sites just for the votes, however many put time and work into them because they simply liked the site. It spawned a less successful but notable knockoff involving a Waiting Room and a PTKFGS version eventually. The forced fad also had its own set of " rules" most noteworthy being the sites should not involve popular fads at any time, and requiring "Lounge Club" members to five each others versions or not to vote at all.

At one point many Lounge sites were highly rated, however the point and appeal on the fad seems to have been lost on newer users, and the scores of all have dropped in recent months.

The music for the sites, "Deja Vu", an unused song composed by Edd Kalehoff for "The Price is Right" is the music associated with the fad.

The image is of the bali Mandira Beach Resort & Spa's Club Lounge, the original picture is located in their photo gallery.

Stares Into Your Soul

The **stares into your soul** fad, is generalized by a magnified picture of person or object (usually with a dispirited face) and Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" playing.

This fad was started by dazedconfused on January 13, 2006, by depicting a magnified picture of Conan O'Brien, host of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and the song, 'Moonlight Sonata' by Beethoven. However, when searching for "stares into your soul", nermy2k should be credited as creating the first "stares into your soul" YTMND, with lemon stares into your soul. Created on July 9, 2005, it was conceived close to 4½ months before the "*Conan... stares into your soul*" YTMND.

The "*lemon stares into your soul*" YTMND depicts an enlarged lemon with a 'shocked' expression on his face, and the theme song for the movie "Requiem for a Dream" playing. "*Conan... stares into your soul*" is similar as it shows Conan with an almost identical expression, but with the Moonlight Sonata song playing.

When the "*Conan... stares into your soul*" YTMND was created, it quickly rose to the Top 15, and thus the origin of the 'stares into your soul' fad was created.

A sub-fad started when dazedconfused created Man watches Conan stare into his Soul, three days later. This YTMND depicts a man sitting in a chair, facing Conan, and "watching" as Conan stares into his soul. Many other YTMND's were created emulating this sub-fad with other objects, people or groups of people watching as Conan stares into their souls with the same Beethoven song playing.

Rainbow Stalin

The **Rainbow Stalin** fad revolves around a misinterpreted lyric from the 2006 song "All this Love" by the Swedish electronic duo The Similou, interpreting the line "rainbow styling" as "rainbow Stalin." The fad is thus similar to but not the same as Dew Army sites.

The first site in the fad dates back to July 2006 with the original site, Rainbow Stalin by Salta, but it did not gain momentum as a fad until 2009 with dinosaur10's site Reliving a YTMND memory, which gave Rainbow Stalin new life.

Rainbow Stalin sites typically revolve around the song and an image of Stalin that is usually edited to include colors and ravers, re-imagining the feared Soviet dictator as either a raver or a DJ. While the fad's first trickle of sites predominantly made use of Soviet propaganda art, newer sites have incorporated imagery and styles from other fads (e.g., Dew, CRAPTMND, Reading Rainbow, Get sued by PEZ™, the recent Mike Tyson fad. The "Rainbow" aesthetic itself is probably a derivation of the GAYTMND fad.) Several sites have also featured original remixes of The Similou's "All This Love". An extended loop of the song along with the actual lyrics can be seen in alphasuede's site Red Stalin ruins the rainbow - a sing along.

As with all YTMND fads, opinion is strongly divided on Rainbow Stalin's popularity. Some users despise the fad, claiming it to be unfunny and repetitive. Some users seem to have even taken issue with the fad on ideological grounds, apparently seeing a tacit support or tolerance of Stalin and Communism in the use of Soviet propaganda. Other users have embraced the fad, with some proclaiming it to be the best fad in years. The fad's "rainbow-izing" of Stalinist propaganda is a strong visual hook and a clever subversion of the propaganda's original intent, and the Similou's "All This Love" has inspired original remixes from users. The "Rainbow Stalin" character certainly seems to possess some staying power and has already found himself edited into some truly bizarre fad combos, like this one.

Bubb Rubb

Bubb Rubb is an Internet phenomenon started by a television broadcast on KRON-TV channel 4 in San Francisco. Bubb Rubb is also the nickname of the subject of the fad.

In 2003, KRON broadcasted a story about whistle tips, devices welded into a car's muffler to cause a loud whistle as the exhaust gas passes. Residents of Oakland were upset because of the disturbance caused by the constant whistling. Besides interviewing those who were upset by the whistle tips, the news station also interviewed fans of the modification. One of these fans was a man calling himself Bubb Rubb. During the interview he said the phrase that would bring him his 15 minutes of fame - ***"The whistles go WHOOO!"*** At the end of the interview, Bubb Rubb wanted to demonstrate what his newly installed automotive modification sounded like. With Lil' Sis behind the wheel and Bubb Rubb hanging out of the passenger-side window, she floored the accelerator in front of the camera. Lil' Sis temporarily lost control of the vehicle, nearly hitting a parked car and running a stop sign.

The KRON broadcast was captured onto digital video and posted on the Internet. The Bubb Rubb phenomenon was propagated throughout the Internet by many of the car enthusiast forums. Several remixes were made of the broadcast which depicted Bubb Rubb dancing and rapping to his famous phrase, and numerous websites host\soundboards showcasing snippets of Bubb Rubb's interview comments.

"Lil' Sis," as she is called on the newscast, is the apparent sister of Bubb Rubb. Lil' Sis is most often quoted as saying, "Jus' fo' deca'ration," while nodding to Bubb Rubb's statements. A few YTMNDs were made, mainly classic-style captures of clips from the interview.

For whatever reason, Bubb Rubb became a fad on YTMND in 2007, following several high-quality parodies, which in turn led to more spinoffs and remixes on YTMND. One recent parody, *Zelda: The Bubb Rubb of Time*, is now the 4th highest rated YTMND ever, the pinnacle of Bubb Rubb's recent influence on the site. Shortly after these sites were created, Bubb Rubb's popularity once again faded. However, there were enough parodies created during this short period to consider Bubb Rubb as a 'true' fad, years after its popularity elsewhere.

Bubb Rubb was a seasoned combat veteran who fought in multiple battles during the Gulf War. During the Iraq War Troop Surge of 2007, he tragically passed away under unknown circumstances while deployed. Formally declared MIA, legend dictates that he still haunts the battlefield in search of revenge. Multiple unconfirmed reports have sighted Bubb Rubb on the war torn fields of Ukraine; a proud warrior and freedom fighter with no formal ties to any country.

Snape Kills Dumbledore

The **Snape Kills Dumbledore** fad began sometime in mid-July of 2005. Around then, the 6th Harry Potter book (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) was being released and it was mentioned that one of the main characters would not survive. When it was revealed it was Dumbledore, it quickly spread across the internet. A video then emerged of a person crashing Harry Potter release parties outside of several bookstores [1]. The famed dialogue (near the end of the clip) was as follows:

*Driver: "Hey! Snape kills Dumbledore!"*
*Person waiting outside: NOOOOOOOOOO You Bitch! YOU BITCH!!"*

The fad quickly exploded and showed no signs of stopping. The dialogue was used for various other sites. Interestingly, there were various varieties of the fad.

## The spoiler altered in various Media

The spoiler "Snape kills Dumbledore" was also depicted using various TV clips, video game FMVs, movie clips. For example, the site "Full Snape kills Dumbledore scene straight from the upcoming Half-Blood Prince movie!" showed a photoshopped version of the infamous spoiler scene from Final Fantasy VII with the faces of Snape and Dumbledore photoshopped on the characters.

Great Moments

*Watch the way I navigate ahahaha!*

   The "Great Moments in History" fad involves the use of pictures showing various crashes/disasters in transportation history. The fad started as a forced fad by the user TEHAISEOFSPAIDS in late June 2005 before others joined in to force it as well. The first sites did not yield high ratings, but some of the later ones did. An excerpt of the song "Feel Good Inc." by the British virtual group Gorillaz. Sites will show disasters ranging from an animated gif of a car crash to a bizzare plane stunt. Feel Good Inc. was included on Volume 5 of the YTMND Soundtrack.

Moskau

**Moskau** is a 1979 song by the German disco group Dschinghis Khan. It has since gained popularity on many parts of the internet, including YTMND.

## The Song

"Moskau" (the German word for Moscow) was a single off the group's 1979 self-titled debut album. It was released in Australia in 1980 to correspond with the Moscow Olympics and became a #1 hit for six weeks. More recently, it was played at the opening of the 2009 Eurovision contest, which was held in Moscow.

Despite what some might think, due to its title and the group's dress and style of dancing, "Moskau" isn't Russian, but German.

## The Fad

Although two other sites featuring the song, Moskau by Dschingis KHAN by foujax and Moscow by Edgar-Mullins, were released in 2004, the most popular, and the version considered to have started the fad, was the 2005 site Moskau Moskau by user diabloloco. This site had an animated gif of the German disco group Dschinghis Khan dancing during a television appearance, an excerpt from the song, and text that read "LONG LIVE DSCHINGHIS KHAN."

Sites often depict various people dancing in a similar fashion to the dancers in the video, specifically the middle dancer.

Everyone has AIDS

**"Walker told me I have AIDS", "Everyone has AIDS"**

Walker, Texas Ranger: Made popular from Late Night with Conan O'Brien and the "Walker, Texas Ranger Lever".

The music used is *Everyone has AIDS*, *movie Team America*, *World Police*.

They are often accompanied by pictures having to do with Africa, food, etc.

This fad was also used to create a ytmnd about a bug in World of Warcraft:

*Blizzard adds in a new instance, Zul'Gurub. Inside is the god of blood, Hakkar. Well, when you fight him he has a debuff called Corrputed Blood. It does like 250-350 damage to players and affects nearby players. The amazing thing is SOME PLAYERS have brought this disease (and it is a disease) back to the towns, outside of the instance. It starts spreading amongst the general population including npcs, who can out generate the damage. Some servers have gotten so bad that you can't go into the major cities without getting the plague (and anyone less than around level 50 nearly immediately die).*

The very first site had the song playing over an old McDonalds commercial, making it seem like Ronald and the puppets are singing it.

Osaka Shoe Kick

The Osaka Shoe Kick is the most popular fad to feature the character Osaka from Azumanga Daioh. It comes from an episode of the anime in which Osaka kicks her shoe off in order to forecast the weather. In the anime, the shoe is carried off by a fast-moving truck. The sites replace the truck with other outcomes. The first major site was actually part of the Thwomp fad.

Ridin' Dirty

"**Ridin'**", better known as "**Ridin' Dirty**", is a song by rapper Chamillionaire. It portrays the abuse of power of police officers. The song has been a popular fad among YTMNDers since May 2006.

Sites using the song will involve either of the following:

* Various people driving a car
* People or cars getting drenched in mud or other dirty substances
* In the rarest occasion, sites may be racist of matter or depict racial profiling.

The song is sometimes considered NARVish due to lack of originality with sites, but not to the extent as other NARVish fads.

Klingon

Klingon Alphabet

Klingon (or *tlhIngan Hol, Klingonese)* is a fictional language in the Star Trek Universe. In it's fictional context, it is spoken by the Klingons, and is made up of 80 dialects. It was developed by James Doohan and Jon Povill for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and was later fully developed by Marc Okrand.

## History

Klingonese was first developed by James Doohan and Jon Povill for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It was deliberately designed to sound "Alien". The Director did not want the Klingons to speak random gibberish, and instead had requested the language be made.

Marc Okrand later fully developed the language into a full, constructed language. In 1992, the Klingon Language Institute was formed as a non-profit organisation.

## Words & Phrases:

> See also: List of Klingon Phrases
>
>

* Qapla' - Success
* bortaS bIr jablu'DI' reH QaQqu' nay' - Revenge is a dish best served cold
* petaQ - A Curse word, confirmed translations include Epithet, Idiot.

## Trivia

* One person raised their child bilingually in English and Klingon. However, the child eventually refused to learn Klingon, as they couldn't speak the language with anyone.
Medieval

The Medieval fad recreates other fads using elements from the Bayeux Tapestry, a famous 11th century embroidery depicting William the Conqueror's victory over the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings.

The fad was made possible by the Historic Tale Construction Kit, a Flash website that allows users to drag and drop pictures and text from the Bayeux tapestry into their own custom-designed scenes.The resulting combination of pictures and text resembles the most basic form of a YTMND, perhaps explaining the fad's appeal to YTMND users.

The text in Medieval YTMNDs is usually a fad catchphrase rewritten to resemble Early Modern English, often to the point of absurdity. ("I hath it with thine mother trysting serpents on thine mother trysting flying barge!")

To complete the medieval setting, virtually every site in the fad uses the same song: folk singer Heather Dale's recording of the 15th century Christmas carol "This Endris Night."

Outrageous

**Outrageous** is a fad started in March 2007 involving people dressing and acting in the manner of the cartoon character Jem, sparkling, and often wearing star-shaped sunglasses. Most spinoffs of the original site feature an image with a frilly border centered on a brightly colored background. All of them have vivid multicolored text declaring the subject of the image to be "OUTRAGEOUS!". The fad is set to the Jem theme song as covered by Freezepop. Freezepop themselves have responded positively to the fad.

The Jitz

**The Jitz** is a fad started in 2005 and developed from a scene in *Back to the Future Part II*, in which the character Needles gets the future Marty McFly to do something that could get him fired, when McFly mutters the phrase "What if the **Jitz** is monitoring?". Afterwards, The **Jitz** appears and yells "MC FLYYYY!! You are Terminated!"

The original site was made back in August 2005, but due to the workings of a number of users, this fad saw a resurgence in January/February of 2007.

## Fad Characteristics

Ytmnds featuring the **Jitz** and/or Marty McFly often involve random songs with character quotations edited into the lyrics or in rhythm with the music. While occasional edited still images are used, most sites incorporate some type of gif animation in which the character’s actions may or may not be synchronized with their quotations.

This fad has spawned a PTKFGS version, called How's It Hangin' McFly, using Needles instead of Jitz. Examples of this version include McFly hangs in the PTKFGS world and DJ Needles VS DJ McFly.

300TMND

**300TMND** is a fad based on the movie ***300***, or, more accurately, the trailer. It is a series of YTMNDs starting in early 2007 somehow revolving around the movie, but in particular, based on a YTMND entitled "300TMND: THIS IS SPARTAAAA!" that appeared a month before the film's release, created by the user NorthAmericanDangerDuo. The site features an edit of the scene from the first 300 trailer where King Leonidas holds the Persian messenger at sword-point at the ledge of a giant well. In the trailer (and movie) The messenger says "This is Blasphemy! This is Madness" to which Leonidas replies "This is Sparta!" and kicks him into the well. The site not only edited the scene into Gif form, but extended the 'Sparta' part of Leonidas's yell and made him kick the messenger into a building, destroying it.

300TMND was actually intended by the author to be a series of different 300-related YTMNDs, not a fad simply based on the "THIS IS SPARTAAAA!" 300TMND. However, its popularity quickly escalated and completely overshadowed all other 300TMNDs that weren't related to the "This is Sparta!" scene of the 300 trailers. 300TMND's based on other scenes have had more limited success, with the most popular ones, Leonidas is unstoppable and Graphic Novel vs. Film were both created by NorthAmericanDangerDuo, though there have been sites made by other users as well, such as How to motivate your troops by somerandomguy29. In addition, there have been several YTMNDs based on 300 but not labeled as 300TMND sites, such as Arcadians are Losers. The site That's Racist is prefixed with '300' instead of '300TMND' as well.

The music used for these sites is usually the same music the original trailer used, Nine Inch Nails' "Just Like You Imagined".

Despite the TMND suffix, 300TMND isn't considered an alternate universe.

**Ridin' Spinnaz** (named after Three 6 Mafia's track of the same name which is used here) was one of the first YTMNDs ever created (clocking in at number seven), and caused quite a stir in the YTMND community due to its mesmerizing content. Due to new wikia practices however, we can't describe it anymore.

The Magic Word

**AH AH AH. YOU DIDN'T SAY THE MAGIC WORD.** (or just **The Magic Word**) is a YTMND created by onefifty on July 5, 2004. To date, it is the only YTMND he has ever created.

## Components

* **Looping MP3:** The phrase "Ah ah ah! You didn't say the magic word!" (from Jurassic Park), mixed with the track "Better Off Alone" by Alice Deejay. The phrase is first heard in the movie when Ray Arnold (played by Samuel L. Jackson) attempts to access Nedry's computer.

* **Tiled Image:** A screen capture of Dennis Nedry (played by Wayne Knight) grinning at the camera while sitting at his desk. The picture is overlaid by the words "Dennis Nedry" in red script.

* **Zoomed Text:** The text "YOU DIDN'T SAY / THE MAGIC WORD" split between two lines.

## Fad Status

Pictures of Wayne Knight (not just his character Nedry) occasionally appear in other YTMNDs, such as lol, nedry. These sites typically either feature the original Alice Deejay mix or simply use the audio from Jurassic Park directly. The site may also use audio related to the "magic word" scene, e.g. Samuel L. Jackson's character saying "Goddammit, I hate this hacker crap!", or Richard Attenborough's character saying "Butterfingers?"

## Use on Site

The phrase "Ah Ah Ah. You Didn't Say the Magic Word" is used on the YTMND wiki whenever a user attempts to log in with an incorrect password.

Cary Grant

Cary Grant (18 January 1904 – 29 November 1986), born as Archibald Alec Leach, was a British actor famous for his distinctive, not-quite-distinctive accent. His most famous works include The Philadelphia Story, North by Northwest, Notorious, His Girl Friday, To Catch A Thief, Bringing Up Baby and The Bishop's Wife.

The Cary Grant YTMND fad, started in May 2009, consists of a scene edited from the Alfred Hitchcock film North by Northwest, in which Grant runs towards the camera and away from an airplane. The fad was inspired by a site that was part of the Break My Stride fad posted in 2005; other sites replace the plane with another object, such as a Boo or Sinistar, also Hitchcocks.

He-Man sees

The **He-Man sees** fad was started on July 5, 2006 when shlammy (shlammy's user page) created a YTMND entitled 'Use Your Imagination.' The site consisted of a drawing of He-Man and Teela looking into (blank) space with the caption, "Draw what do you think Teela and He-Man see." The sound accompaniment was a loop from the musical soundtrack of the 1980s animated TV series, 'He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.'

## What did He-Man and Teela really see?

The fad quickly became popular, and various users "sketched" what they believe He-Man and Teela saw. Most "He-Man Sees" fads incorporate elements from other YTMND fads such as Medieval, Captain Picard, Sean Connery, Milton's stapler, Muhammad with a bomb in his turban, the NEDM cat and A-Ha.

There are numerous "He-Man Sees" fads which make reference to the YTMND site and its features and history. One very original YTMND has He-Man and Teela see the Up-and-Coming section of the YTMND front page, which at the time of its creation listed nothing but He-Man sees YTMNDs. Another has them see one of JoshCube's "Owned" YTMNDs, while one has them see a gay looking David Hasselhoff.

Others have He-Man and Teela witness historical events such as the Battle of Hastings or Hitler's visit to Paris. Another one combines the He-Man YTMND with another YTMND by shlammy, called He-Man sees an advertisement (tribute to shlammy), and is apparently dedicated to shlammy. It was quickly moved to the YTMNSFW section because of its homosexual content. Shlammy has stated in a comment on this particular YTMND that he feels honored.

Heath Ledger

Heath Ledger was an Australian actor best known for his roles in movies such as "Monster's Ball", "A Knight's Tale", and "Brokeback Mountain". On January 22, 2008, he was found dead in his New York City apartment. Almost immediately upon hearing the news break, YTMNDers set out to make sites either honoring the late actor or lampooning his death.

## Initial Site Content

Sites featured things as diverse as The Joker (the character Ledger recently finished filming for in the upcoming Batman film The Dark Knight), Ambien sleeping pills (which Ledger is said to have overdosed on, accidentally or not), or even the rumor (which turned out to be false) that Ledger was found in actress Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment. Ledger sites accumulated views quickly, and on January 23, 2008, the day after Ledger's death, the Top Viewed Sites of the day were dominated by Ledger sites.

## YTMND Tribute

On the day of Ledger's death, YTMND's background tile was changed to feature an image of Ledger and co-star Jake Gyllenhaal from the film Brokeback Mountain, becoming the fourteenth instance in YTMND history where Max has altered the front page background.

MacGyver

The **MacGyver saves...** fad (or just **MacGyver**) consists of satires of the 1985 series *MacGyver*. In the show, MacGyver would typically concoct bold and daring plans involving contraptions created from the most common household appliances. Typical items include paper clips, duct tape, lengths of rope, and other items that are essentially useless on their own. They are normally used to make things like rocket boosters, bombs, or weapons of some type.

The MacGyver YTMNDs parody this occurance by starting off with a still image or animation of some character, celebrity, or person in apparent danger. Then they ask an open-ended question asking for someone's help to solve a problem. In the next frame, MacGyver suddenly appears, usually in a situation outside of the typical MacGyver universe. After the characters have told MacGyver the problem, he usually asks *"What do I have to work with?"* and the people in need list three items; the items are most commonly a paper clip, a roll of duct tape, and an item related to the situation in question. He then states *"I'll have it fixed in no time,"* which is typically denoted as 14 seconds. After he has fixed the problem, the characters are astounded he has completed the task and they ask how he did it, eliciting the response *"I'm MacGyver, LOL!"*

The sound file accompanying the YTMND is almost always the original television theme song, easily found on P2P networks or a quick search of the internet.

HISTORYTMND

**HISTORYTMND** (pronounced His-to-ree-tee-em-en-dee) is one of a small sub-fad of YTMNDs who denote their content by a common title; i.e., "GAYTMND" YTMNDs are any YTMNDs that deal with homosexual themes as an "alternate version" of YTMND. HISTORYTMNDs feature a historical event presented as if they had occurred in modern times, yet still retain their original dates. For example, bidding on "The eBay Louisiana Purchase" is shown on a Photoshopped eBay page as beginning on April 25, 1803, regardless of the fact that eBay, the Internet, and modern computers did not exist in 1803. The outrageously anachronistic nature of HISTORYTMND is part of its appeal. The fad itself began on December 12, 2006, when the member atomicbolt single-handedly created his own fad by making four HISTORYTMNDs in a single day, with the last two of his created immediately the day afterwards. They received high ratings and were so popular that on December 13, 2006, links to three HISTORYTMNDs could be found on the front page.

Recently, HISTORYTMNDs have been taken in a slightly different fashion by users such as Zipzinger. Often not using the traditional Kraken music, they vary widely through different themes as theoretically humorous or amusing mini-history lessons. For example, the "Benefits of the Agricultural Revolution and Selective Breeding" site has an woodcut depicting an outrageously oversized bovine. Its music attempts to set the mood of the time period. This new take on the fad has been embraced by some users and rejected by others who prefer the traditional stylings.

## Details

* The audio used in most HISTORYTMNDs is "The Kraken" from the "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" original soundtrack.

* Unlike other "alternate universe" YTMNDs, HISTORYTMND did not possess its own watermark until the YTMND user PlatformerMastah created one in January 2007. The watermark did not catch on, however, and PlatformerMastah's HISTORYTMND is to date the only YTMND of this fad that utilizes it.

Blue Ball Machine

The **Blue Ball Machine** is one of the most frequently-viewed pages on all of YTMND. The site is a patchwork of animated GIFs linked together accompanied by a looping hook of the song *Breakfast Machine* from the film *Pee-wee's Big Adventure.* The concept was conceived by Andorion, who created a template and some sample tiles and a thread for others to contribute, and the individual images were created by hundreds of Something Awful forums goons. Each image has three balls enter and leave at particular spots at any frame which is a multiple of 30, but otherwise the content is up to the creator. It has earned this title by accruing a staggering four million pageviews since its inception in October of 2005.

Due to its enormous viewcount, it is touted as the greatest YTMND ever created. But the user who stole the image and created the page, Earthbounder, does not feel the same. He claims that Cosby Bebop is the greatest ever. He is also not willing to let his YTMND grow old and decay. He claims that if the rating falls under he will have it deleted as soon as possible.

As of 2012, Earthbounder's profile and all of his sites, including Blue Ball Machine, have been deleted. However, user benjabean1 (talk - contribs) has recreated the site at the same domain. Unfortunately, its viewcount was not carried over.

The origin for the image comes from a patchwork of interconnected animated GIF files created by members of the SomethingAwful forum members. As gaining access to the original thread requires a paid membership to the SomethingAwful forums, a link to the original thread cannot be made available. The irony of Blue Ball Machine consisting of a gif stolen from another website has been lost upon most users.

Fad sites based on this usually involve other variations of the blue ball machines or other "loopy" images.

Before its deletion, the site had the longest run as top viewed YTMND, staying at that position for over one year. On December 21, 2006, How to prank a Telemarketer succeeded the site as top viewed YTMND.

5,000 Votes Club

The **5,000 Votes Club** is an experienced group of YTMND users who have recorded more than 5,000 votes on YTMND.

The club is fairly exclusive, with less than 450 users attaining this level as of January 2007.

While considered to be prestigious, it is considered no less noteworthy to have relatively few votes cast, provided that the votes are cast in a fair manner. As such, even veteran '04ers, such as LocutusOfBorg, have not tallied many votes, choosing to vote on select sites.

Also, high vote totals can sometimes be marred by downvoters and trolls, further thinning the group who, with authenticity, have thousands of votes cast.

Less than 100 users are members of the next level, the 10,000 Votes Club, and only one user, Decisi8ns, has surpassed the 50,000 Milestone.
Dennal Plan

**Dennal Plan** is a fad consisting of sound clips from *The Simpsons* episode "Last Exit To Springfield", often sporting the head of Simpsons character Lenny poorly photoshopped onto the body of someone. The most common clips used from the show include:

* Lenny or sometimes Carl saying "Dental plan!" and/or "So long dental plan" slurred slightly so it sounds moreso like "Dennal plan!"
* A Spanish clip of Lenny saying "Adios Plen Dental"
* Homer saying "I was buying pornography!"
* Homer saying "Yep. Getting drunk at the old flowershop!"
* Marge saying "Lisa needs braces"

Originally dennal plan did not catch on as a fad. YTMND users CreepPipe, BTape, Kayne, and Father-MacKenzie popularized the fad one year after the first dennal plan ytmnd. Often the quotes from the Simpsons episode are remixed into music.

CreepPipe released the updated Dennal Plan Toolkit to the public on April 29th 2007.

One Weakness

**Professor X had one weakness** is a YTMND created by Super-Penguin on August 7, 2005.

The image provided in the YTMND is actually from the comic Ultimate X-men Issue # 49. The character pushing Professor X is Mister Sinister.

The humor of the statement is that Professor X is all but invincible, but the fact that he is confined to a wheelchair makes him vulnerable to accidents involving staircases.

This specific YTMND has spawned several "...One Weakness" fads which visualize the most common Achilles Heel of household names, places, and people. The fad comes in two varieties

* The original image of Mister Sinister and Professor X is altered to show other characters.
* The phrase "\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ has one weakness!" is shown in the title. The ytmnd itself shows a picture of the weakness (static or animated).

The sound file accompanying this is a digital remix of the Axel F tune by Edwin van Santen, first seen online in ABS's RGB. The original song was created by Harold Faltermeyer.

This fad is often considered NARV-ish, because many one weakness sites have been created with little or no effort. For example it is beleived that there were over 100 attempts to create a "Steve Irwin had ONE Weakness!" site when news of his death hit YTMND.

Into The Abyss

**Into The Abyss** is a fad which spawned in February 2008 following the creation of a looped animation from the series Planet Earth. It depicts a man with a parachute jumping into a cave in the ground. Spinoffs replace either who is jumping or what is being jumped into.

Prior to the release of this YTMND, the user responsible, Bob-the-Builder, had made successful loops from the nature series, which also spawned spinoffs and served as small fads of sorts. One of these loops in particular that achieved relative success on YTMND previously was 24 Hours of Sunlight.

In just a week, many spinoffs developed from Into The Abyss, enough to be recognized as a small fad for the time being. Although the creation of spinoffs on Bob-the-Builder's past Planet Earth loops have died out within a week themselves, Into The Abyss appears to have won over YTMND's audiences in general.

Pitching

**Pitching** is the process of altering the pitch of an audio file without changing the tempo (or anything else, for that matter) in order to make it sound like it is performed by one with a notable tone of voice, such as Darth Vader or Alvin and the Chipmunks.

This process is popular on YTMND in the form of the **Vader Sings** fad. The pitch of a song is lowered, making it sound like Darth Vader. Occasionally, sound effects such as Vader's deep breathing, or Nooo! are added.
