Moon Man

The Moon Man fad was created on May 31st, 2007 by YTMND user farkle. The original Moon Man site featured an animated GIF of former McDonald's mascot Mac Tonight, playing the piano along to the popular fad song "Macarron Chacarron" by El Chombo. While the fad originally started out with Moon Man jamming out to YTMND fad music on his piano, the majority of Moon Man sites feature him talking using AT&T Labs Text To Speech (the official Moon Man voice is AT&T Mike) and often features a long chanting of "KKK!"

One of the most well known YTMND groups is the Moon Crew, an organization whose sole mission is to spread the word of the fad to YTMND and beyond. They also maintain the official Moon Man Forum.

As a YTMND fad "character" (such as Batman or Picard), Moon Man was originally a harmless musical talent. However, as his creator farkle and others successfully developed him, he was further associated with racism and violence. Some assume this is because his head is shaped somewhat like a Klu Klux Klan hood. Currently, Moon Man is depicted as a profane, racist, sexist, homophobic criminal, given to elaborate acts of sexual violence and/or hate crimes. Much of the humor in Moon Man sites is derived from hearing offensive, violent subject matter spoken in Moon Man's deadpan, nonchalant tone of voice.

Originally, farkle's site was previously deleted, but has since been reuploaded.

It's Behind

The "It's Behind" fad pokes fun at a scene from M. Night Shyamalan's 2002 film "Signs". The original scene showed Joaquin Phoenix's character watching a breaking news report involving the sightings of aliens. The news reporter says that she's about to show actual and disturbing image where an alien was sighted at a birthday party. The report breaks to the footage where a boy is yelling "It's behind!". Moments later after the music has built up, the alien walks by the corridor. At this moment, Joaquin quickly gets shocked and comes up close to the TV to have another look as the footage was being reshown.

The fad began in late April 2006 when the user brine altered the scene so that it was the Burger King walking across instead of the alien. The site quickly spawned a number of popular sites.

The fad suffered though due to the search engine. The current site's search engine omits "common" words including "behind", making it almost impossible to find all of the fad sites. Despite that, many of the fad sites have broken a rating of over 4.0.

Reggie Fils-Aime

**Reggie Fils-Aime** is the president and COO of Nintendo of America. The fad, dubbed "The Reggielution", revolves around a quote said by Fils-Aime at E3 2004: "My name is Reggie; I'm about kickin' ass, I'm about takin' names, and we're about makin' games". The fad began with REGGIE & THE REGGIELUTION in May 2004, and didn't really catch on at first, as very few YTMNDs were made about it.

The fad was revived at E3 2005 with the "Reggie dance", the first to feature this being The Reggie Dance, which was set to Fatboy Slim's "Right Here, Right Now", and this spawned many spinoff YTMNDs. Also, a quote from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata (Who's your daddy?), first featured in Reggie, who your daddy? also helped the fad, and even spawned it's own fad, albeit much smaller. Also, some ytmnds crossed over the Reggielution with other ytmnd fads (among other things), such as What is Love!? and Secret Nazi. This was first seen in The many faces of Reggie. There is also a popular gif which features a crudely edited animated gif if Reggie eating several competing consoles, first seen in GO REGGIE GO!, but made popular with Reggie kicks ass while Iwata says WOW, which features the gif along with other Reggielution pics and quotes from E3 2005.

More recent sites, such as Reggie Sings With AC/DC use quotes from E3 2006, such as "big damn truck", which is considered particularly humorous. Some ytmnds also feature crossovers with Sony's E3 2006 press conference, first appearing in Reggie and Kaz Team Up For Planet Sonata. The Reggielution has also crossed over with other ytmnd fads such as Batman and Cake Song.

For music, most Reggielution sites use remixes of E3 quotes, intense opera music, sticking quotes in real songs (ala the many I believe you have my stapler songs), or standard YTMND music.

## Sub-fads

* **My name is Reggie:** Editing the quote from E3 2004, usually involoving him taking names or kicking ass.
* **A Big Damn Truck:** Incorporating or referencing to his description of the game "Excite Truck" from E3 2006, in which he described the game as being in the same "pedigree" as ExciteBike except "now your holding the steering wheel of a big damn truck". It's sometimes paired with "Riiiidge Racer!"

Level Cleared

The **Level Cleared** fad, beginning in June 2007, presents a movie scene in which someone gets away with doing something devious or vile. Typically at the climactic moment when other characters react to what he's done, the scene freezes and a "Level Cleared!" graphic and accompanying video game music appear, as if life is a video game of the sort. The most frequent music choice is "Flamethrower" from the classic platformer game Plok.

The very first site by greenbanana used footage from the film Flight of the Navigator.

Since it's important for the title not to give away the gimmick, Level Cleared sites are hard to find.

Age 9

The **Age 9** fad involves the remake of other fads with childlike Microsoft Paint-style animations, accompanied by purely vocal renditions of the fads' respective music and sound. MasterSitsu's site "How I did escaped Katreena by Jaleel age 10" inspired the title for his later site how I did founded a bike by charles and audrey age 9, the fad's actual origin released in February 2006. The fad was created partially as an in-joke by MasterSitsu, on IRC to gently tease syncan for spending 10 hours recreating xxblindchildxx 's "n\*gga stole conan's bike" as a video game.

Age 9 sites are not very easy to do as it requires a lot of voice editing of the user making the site. Sites will pop up time-by-time as new fads show up.

A couple of users, for example syncan and cheekygirl, have made sites with actual pictures of themselves at a young age.

Snoop Nye the Slam Guy

**Snoop Nye the Slam Guy** is a forced fad created by **barf** in April 2007. Sites involve the "Snoop Nye the Slam Guy Theme" (a mash-up of the theme song from Bill Nye the Science Guy, "Space Jam" by Quad City DJs, and Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot"), mashed up again with other songs (usually from other fads), and accompanied by pictures of Bill Nye, Randy Savage, and Snoop Dogg, or the three of them combined into a bizarre hybrid (Savage's crown and sunglasses, Nye's face, and Snoop dancing in the "Drop It Like It's Hot" music video).

Barf cites most of his Snoop Nye sites as if the image and sound are from the Snoop Nye the Slam Guy TV show and its soundtrack, respectively. (For example: lol, snoop nye the slam guy cites its image from "Episode 205 - The Hamburger Race" and its sound from SNTSG OST Track 4-"The Slam-Mobile Takes Flight!")

On April 10, 2007, barf announced the creation of the Snoop Nye the Slam Guy Inaugural Super Remix Khantest, prompting other to create more Snoop Nye the Slam Guy sites. Thus far, the most notable Snoop Nye site not created by barf is altair808's Snoop Nye the Slam Guy gets his satisfaction.

Sonic Says

**Sonic Says...** is created by the user AndyAML. It was created on August 18, 2004, and is the inspiration for the "Sonic Advice" fad that warns against pedophilia and sexual abuse. Its components are a picture of a woozy Sonic with Tails holding his shoulders from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon, sound from a "Sonic Says" segment from the cartoon, and text that reads, "That's NO GOOD." All are from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episode entitled "Lovesick Sonic".

Although this site was created in August 2004, the "Sonic Advice" fad itself didn't really get started until about early June of 2005. People would try to reword the segment to make it sound like he's saying something else. It has since become one of the most popular YTMND fads and continue to spawn sites every so and often.

## PTKFGS

The PTKFGS equivalent of this fad is called "Shadow gives orders", which shows Sonic's rival Shadow giving out orders rather than advice.
Another version is called "Yakko Says...". It features the Animaniacs character Yakko giving advice about playing with giant bugs.

## Legal Fire

Max recieved a legal action letter from Sega on January 11, 2007. In response, Max encouraged YTMNDers to "feel free to let Sega know how much you all appreciate them shitting on their target audience". This renewed the *Sonic says...* fad, as users started adding sites where Sonic gives legal advice. It also sparked off the creation of general anti-Sega sites, as well as a small resergence of other fads (Such as LOL, and NEDM).

Nelson is an Artist

A fad started in September 2006 based on a scene from *The Simpsons* episode "Girls Just Want to Have Sums", where the character Nelson Muntz is drawing a random picture while Lisa Simpson, disguised as "Jake Boyman", looks on. The original YTMND had Nelson drawing "a robot with guns for arms shooting a plane made out of guns that fires guns", but spinoffs have included Nelson drawing everything from political cartoons to the original YTMND itself. Sometimes a spinoff will not even have the drawing shown, opting to focus on an unrelated random thing outside or a violent act.

The Daring Few

**The Daring Few** is the nickname for the remaining users on YTMND who stuck around after the devastating "YTMND 2.0" disaster of 2010.

## A Website On the Brink

YTMND had suffered a considerable loss in viewership after it's popularity peaked in 2006. Since then, it slowly declined in both user activity and original content. Most users who left cited a lack of humor, fresh ideas, and overall comradery in the community at large. Some blamed moderation, others blamed Dramatic Breakup Letter, but most simply threw their hands up in defeat. A small few were tragically trolled to death.

There was however, a glimmer of hope. Max Goldberg, founder and Grand Wizard of You're the Man Now Dog, promised that he would create a new Utopia of YTMND, grounded in a new philosophy of webenomics known by a select council of wise elders as "Web 2.0." The plebeian masses rejoiced at Max Goldberg's promise, and they danced and laughed in the streets, with grand imaginations of what tomorrow would bring. Their leader would bring about a glorious new dawn.

Max conjured up his black magic for months and months, sitting alone in his dark, unkempt apartment slowly withering away physically as he created his masterpiece. As the months turned to years, the users became less enthusiastic, and grew more and more impatient. Some claimed Max was not working at all, and that the glorious 2.0 would never arrive. Others claimed that Max sold YTMND to a group of venture capitalists in 2008, who were slowly turning the site into a homosexual dating service for rap music enthusiasts.

YTMND's userbase dwindled.

## April 1st, 2010

On April Fool's day 2010, YTMND went down for hours. The few left sat and wondered what was going on, and talk among them quickly turned to that fateful promise that their beloved leader had given them years ago. The anticipation grew to a steamy, wet climax, as users from years-gone-by returned to marvel at the spectacle. Hearts quivered and legs tingled as the many users reloaded and reloaded the front page every few seconds. Finally the frames came into place, and YTMND 2.0 was revealed. There were few survivors.

## The Few Survivors

Scientists claim that in the event of a nuclear holocaust, the only species to survive will be the cockroach. YTMND is living proof of this, as the devestation of YTMND 2.0 has left a small dystopian community of radioactive cockroaches who call themselves "The Daring Few."

Arnold Enjoys....

The **Arnold Enjoys** fad was started by DiscoRage in the spring of 2006 with his "Arnold Enjoys A YTMND" site. This fad usually entails Arnold Schwarzenegger looking at a computer progressively going from a serious frown to a full-blown smile and some rapid change (such as the image on the computer shutting off or something being revealed) causes him to change back to the frown. This fad is very similar to the Riker fad.

Since its upload, the page has been viewed over 16,500 times. On July 8th, 2006, user Chyort uploaded the ROFLCopter Takeoff Final YTMND utilizing Speakonia text-to-speech voice Microsoft Sam, which is the most viewed ROFLCopter YTMND page with more than 190,000 views in less than six years. As of May 2nd, 2012, over 140 ROFLcopter YTMNDs have been created.

Jesus

The **Jesus** fad started out as an internet meme. There have been pictures showing Jesus communicating with others in the form of comic bubbles. This images included Jesus knocking on a door, Jesus playing ice hockey, and even an image with Admiral Ackbar. However, Jesus never really emerged as a fad until the user A-Z2 created a Jesus Lol site showing an altered scene from an unspecified movie. Due to a glitch with YTMND, on some days, most of his sites would break the top 15. After his Jesus site broke the top 15 one final time, the fad began. In many sites, Jesus winks; this is common when Jesus is included in conglomerates. It started off slowly, but quickly built it's way into a full-blown fad with different variations:

* Modified religious art (often from illustrated Bibles), with word balloons and funny dialogue added (e.g. ITS JESUS LOL, Hey, Jesus...). This is the most common variation.
* Raptor Jesus, similar to the above except replacing Jesus with Raptor Jesus (e.g. raptor jesus, Raptor Jesus loves the little children). Sometimes with these sites, the Jurassic Park main theme will be used.
* "Jesus Saves," a common Christian expression, alluding to Jesus preventing a goal in sports or finding a savepoint in a video game (e.g. Jesus Saves!), Jesus Saves...Frequently)
* A take on the MacGyver fad, with Jesus taking the role of MacGyver. (e.g. Wedding Feast is Saved by Jesus, The 5000 are Saved By Jesus)
* Jesus LOL RPG, parodies of Final Fantasy featuring Jesus as the main character, often accompanied by the battle theme from *Final Fantasy VII*.
* Mash-up with the Secret Nazi fad, where Jesus and Hitler compete in a videogame, first showing a swastika somewhere, but Jesus remakes it to a cross, Hitler starts flashing, and Jesus wins the game. It started with a YTMND called "OMG, Secret Nazi Tetris!!".

Most sites use Rich Mullin's 1980's hymn "Awesome God".

Mike is done...

## The History

**Mike is done...** (better known as **Mike Done**), is a "personal" YTMND which features a heavily intoxicated individual named "Mike" who is sitting on the ground and leaning on a trash can. He is being aided by a friend so that if he vomits, he will go into the trash. It was created by zixer, a real life friend of the Mike featured in the site. The image is accompanied by a midi version of the "death music" (when a player would lose a life) from the original *Castlevania* for the NES entitled "Player Miss".

This "inside joke" YTMND would gain attention by becoming the first forced fad (or forum fad). A thread was created by YTMND user, BuzdaHatesYou on the YTMND forums encouraging other YTMND users to search for a crummy YTMND site and to make other sites parodying it. It was in hopes of tricking other YTMNDers, unaware of the YTMND forum thread, to create their own spin-offs. Eventually a user suggested the "Mike is done..." site to which forum users agreed to make it into a fad. Several sites were made in this first attempt at having a forced fad take off. Due to the original sites address, Mike, featured in the original YTMND site, was given the full name "Mike Done". Unfortunately it initially gained little attention, until it was sponsored by murphvelocity in late 2006. As a result, "Mike Done" sites are created regularly.

*Mike Done* sites usually contain an image of Mike in different situations with the *Castlevania* "Player Miss" music often inserted somewhere within the site's sound.

## Return of the Mike

Recently much interest has been revived in Mike Done, thanks mostly to user murphvelocity.

A-ha

**A-ha** was a musical group from the 1980's that focused on synth-pop fused with ballad and rock. In correspondence to YTMND, in 2005, a fad was created most likely when a-ha's music video for their one hit, "Take On Me" was parodied on an episode of Family Guy *Breaking Out Is Hard to Do*. This inspired YTMNDers to take the pencil-sketch animation style used in the original and parody videos, and apply it via Photoshop filters, hand-drawn sketches, etc. to current fads.

A few YTMND sites that used a-ha's style of animation made it to Top 15, but it was a large fad overall, with a few recurring sites still being created.

Joke

The **Joke** fad is a forced fad of sorts by lacrossestar83. The first site was made on October 2nd, 2009 and featured a deceptive title, a flashing image of the word "joke", and a collage of loud noises.

Creator lacrossestar83 combined sounds from numerous other ear rape sites, along with other sounds, and mixed them together into his vision of the one ultimate noise blast. The original image was taken by lacrossestar83 from a keatonkeaton999 site, and edited by removing several frames and then inverting every other frame that remained, creating an intense strobing effect. lacrossestar83's inspiration for this visual was derived from the final battle in the video game Earthbound, when Giygas attacks Ness and his comrades, and the old "EPILEPSY" flash video he saw on ebaumsworld before he stopped going there. In later sites, different images and sounds are used, but most follow the "flashing 'joke' text with ear rape" theme.

lacrossestar83 usually would make these sites with titles either related to current events or simply ideas that he thought were just too dumb to go through the effort of making a site about them. Few users other than lacrossestar83 have made such "joke" sites, clouding their classification as a "forced fad" and thus a dead one too.

**NOTE**: Each of these sites contain both loud audio and flashing lights; you've been warned. Also, the original site is considered lost.

Hey, Get Outta Here

**Hey, Get Outta Here** is a fad created by the noteworthy user PCF in January 2007. The fad started when he created an original-style YTMND of a short scene from the film *Click* starring Adam Sandler and YTMND favorite Christopher Walken. The scene featured is of Walken, who plays the eccentric inventor Morty - creator of a "Universal Remote Control" - delivering perhaps his most memorable quote in the film - "Hey, Get Outta Here!".

The classic style of the site and the humor in Walken's delivery of the line made the site fairly popular with users of YTMND, and a small fad has spawned, implementing the quote into different situations and scenes. Although Walken is already popular on the site, through other sites on YTMND, this counts as a movie-based fad in its own right, rather than part of an overall "Walken" fad.

Rainath

Raindanese (pronounced ˈr-ain-da-nece) is a Fictional Language spoken by The Raindarians of the Raindan Mountains. It was developed by the author, "Loreweaver" around the year 1945 and is based on mainly Russia, with Latin, Japanese, and several ancient Russian languages.

You may notice that there's two letters for "th" and "tr". It depends on your gender. If your male, you can use whichever letter you want. If your female, there are strict etymological rules.
The vowels in the language are: A, E, O, U, EI, and UI. There's was another vowel that's called "Y", but, the vowel "UI" and "Y" makes the same sound in Russian. So, that letter was useless in sentences.
There are 8 parts of speech such as, Lyricals, Harmonics, Symbologies, Whisperchants, Ephemerals, Mystiquals, Essentias and Celestials.
Solar Yak

The **Solar Yak** fad began in late September 2006 by user anono while attempting to create a mediocre site contained within a trifecta paradox. The original Solar Yak site got average votes, but became popular following a site explaining the process of creating an average YTMND. Although a third site was created to further confuse the paradox, the fad had already taken off after the second.

*Elements contained in Solar Yak YTMNDs*

* A standard yak photo found using Google Images
* A bright red and yellow picture of the sun
* Dramatic text ("Solar Yak Walk Flames Eternal" as an example)
* Occasional use of Antimatter Turtle "rules the clouds of infinity" (PTKFGS)
* NES music

### *Note*

There will be a discrepancy in dates and comments on anono's yak YTMNDs because he went through and moved the sites around to further confuse the date creation. The proper timeline of creation is: Solar Yak, Making an Average YTMND, Making a YTMND paradox, Solar Yak: THE MOVIE.

The song that accompanies most of the Solar Yak sites is the theme of Dr. Wily Castle Stage 2 from the video game Mega Man 3.

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". The song was included on Volume 3 of the YTMND Soundtrack. In addition, Takeshi Kaga was featured on the cover of Volume 11.
Needs More Cowbell

**Needs More** **Cowbell** is based on a 2000 Saturday Night Live skit featuring Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken. In the skit, Ferrell plays Gene Frankel, a fictional member of the band Blue Öyster Cult, and Walken plays Bruce Dickinson, a producer. The most famous line of the skit is when Dickinson gives a pep-talk to Frankel, telling him, "Well, guess what! I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!"

The first Cowbell site was made by Discharger in May of 2004; it merely featured an image and sound of a cowbell with the text "NEEDS MORE COWBELL". Blue Öyster Cult's "Don't Fear The Reaper" was not used until two days later, in skwirl's site Cowbell Fever. Many sites included a bell, but sometimes YTMNDs may contain someone hitting something else. Still other sites involve mixing a cowbell track or Walken's lines with other songs.

Favorites List

A user's favorites list is a list of all the sites that the user has favorited. You can favorite a site from the site or its profile. Anybody can view a user's favorites, so don't go around favoriting anything too embarrassing.

On the actual list, a user can add an optional note for each site which can be used to explain what they like about the ytmnd. The sites can be viewed as a list by title, rating, or by the date the site was added to the list.

The former section moderator favorites was basically max's favorites list.
Cloudsong

The **Cloudsong fad** was one of the most interesting fads during the Summer of 2005. The fad was born on June 28, 2005 under the title "I OWN THE VNBOARDS!!". This first site was did not get many views but the Cloudsong fad got popularized by the second submission called "Wow is serious business" one of the first of the Serious Business sites.

It is also the second highest viewed site not in the hall of fame (after pi) and one of three sites not in the hall of fame with over a million views (along with 3.14 and Ninja works it). The site shows an image from World of Warcraft along with dialogue of a player screaming at another fellow that he stole the former's magic cloak, or "cloudsong". Due to the amount of explicit language in the dialogue, many Cloudsong sites are nsfw'd.

A major misconception was created due to the site as the dialogue was actually for another MMORPG called Dark Age of Camelot. Since that site though, most cloudsong sites usually involve the WoW image used in the original. After the original ytmnd, sites slowly began to rack up before it was officially called a fad. Sites will play around with the dialogue, sometimes remixing it to other songs. Other times, the dialogue would be added in various TV/movie scenes. The original site has racked up over one million views.

Lex Luthor

**Lex Luthor** is the archenemy of DC Comics' Superman and the subject of a fad starting in May 2006 based on the following scene from the movie *Superman Returns.*

**Lex Luthor:** Come on, let me hear you say it, just once. C'mon.
**Lois Lane:** You're insane.
**Luthor:** No! [laughs] Not that! No, the other thing. C'mon, I know it's just dangling off the tip of your tongue. Let me hear it just once, please?
**Lois:** Superman will nev--
**Luthor: *WROOOOONG!***
The Luthor fad spun out of the Kaz Hirai fad with Lex Luthor > Kaz Hirai by stratos-the-bratos, mixing Lex's lines with Hirai's press conference at E3 2006.

There are 2 different varieties of the Lex Luthor fad

* The first, most common, variety takes the original scene and replaces Lois's lines with another person's (Kaz Hirai in stratos-the-bratos's site).

* The second variety was started with user RedBaron's creation of the Lex Luthor > Scientology YTMND during the height of the Scientology era. This variety involves Lex Luthor coming out of nowhere to create a screamer-styled site. Usually, the scream causes massive damage and explosions.

The titles for the sites usually involve mathematical operators (like Lex Luthor > Kaz Hirai or Sean Connery > Lex Luthor).

The Coolest Kid You Knew

**The Coolest Kid** fad started in November 2007 with the site “The Coolest Kid You Knew In 1991.” The site’s image was taken from a 1991 issue of Nintendo Power, showing a boy playing his NES (with, of course, his latest edition of Nintendo Power). Due to the stereotypical fads of the decade, the fad exploded quickly with users editing the picture to portray the boy in different time periods, all with period-appropriate music; for instance the original site, set in 1991, uses "3AM Eternal" by acid house group The KLF.

George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People

The **Black People** fad was created in October 2005 during a Hurricane Katrina disaster relief telethon, Kanye West broke away from the script much to the shock and dismay of those on the set, including fellow speaker Mike Myers, and complained about the treatment of black people, not just during Hurricane Katrina, but period. He then followed by saying the now well-known and extremely quoted comment: "George Bush doesn't care about black people". In the fad, the phrase "black people" is usually replaced with another YTMND.

Ends His Life

The "\_\_\_\_\_ ends \_\_\_\_\_" fad is a sub-fad to Chunk is Indestructible. Started in early 2006, it is a similar concept, except the shooter actually kills his or her victim. What appears to be a semi-automatic pistol is the usual modus operandi in this fad. The original site earned praise for the collaboration/"unholy alliance" between MasterSitsu and syncan that produced this site.

The "ends" fad has not produced nearly as much as many other fads have. Only 77 sites use the asset for the fad's song, "Du Hast" by Rammstein, and many of those sites are not even of the "ends" fad. It is now considered a dead fad.

Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch

The Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch is the name of a chicken sandwich available at Burger King. The sandwich consists of a breaded, deep-fried chicken filet, lettuce, tomato, and mayonaise on a corn-dusted bun. The sandwich was promoted by a 2004 television advertising featuring recording artist Darius Rucker (of Hootie and the Blowfish) singing a country-style jingle to the tune of "Big Rock Candy Mountain." The song became popular in 2005 and spawned the **Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch** fad where audio and/or video clips are altered to include the sandwich. A common abbreviation for the fad is "TCBCR".

It is often considered to be a dead fad; however, DarthWang still makes sites related to this fad to this day.

Sailor Moon Meets

**Sailor Moon Meets** is one of the fads based on the Sailor Moon franchise. The fad began on December 5, 2005. The first fad showed the 5 sailor senshi (soldiers) preparing to confront a random person/item. The original one featured Bob from the Enzyte (prescription drug) commercials waving his hand. The song of choice was the popular "Requiem for a Tower" theme, though the excerpt differed from the one used in the Fire Spirit fad. After the original site, many fad sites popped up within the span of 2-3 days before dying down slowly due to the lack of creativity.

## Actually...

Contrary to popular opinions, the people shown in both fads are not cosplayers, but actresses for the live action TV show (Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon). In the past, the original image was used (without Bob), but with little effort as only the 5 sailor senshi (soldiers) were shown with different music.

Don't Tase Me, Bro

**Don't Tase Me, Bro!** is a quote from University of Florida student Andrew Meyer, during a September 17, 2007 campus forum with politician and 2004 presidential candidate John Kerry.

During a question and answer segment, Mr. Meyer presented various questions to Senator Kerry. At one point, his microphone was cut off and campus police escorted him to the exit. He did not comply with the officers, asking officers what he did and why he was being removed. He resisted being placed in handcuffs, and was told if he continued to fight, the officers would use a taser to subdue him.

It was shortly after this that the quote, and the tasering which followed took place. The "Don't Tase Me, Bro" fad (occasionally referred to as DTMB), kickstarted one day later, usually captures these events, and the screams that followed. This fad wasn't necessarily started by a particular site, but by several users perceiving this line as "fad material" and quickly implementing it into new sites.

Some sites within the fad also reference the similarity between the voices of Florida University student Andrew Meyer, and comedian Dane Cook.

Most Annoying Sound In The World

**Most Annoying Sound** is a YTMND created by Daltonofzeal2 on April 26, 2005.

The site borrows partially from a scene of the movie *Dumb and Dumber* in which Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) informs his friend Harry on what exactly is the most annoying sound in the world. The audio is a loop of that sound, and the image was simply a Google image result of Jim Carrey's character in the movie *Dumb and Dumber*.

Spinoffs of the site would usually include different sounds that are also considered annoying. Some of these sites were not even related to the original site, except for the title. Others would make Lloyd Christmas say these annoying sounds instead of the original.

After waning, the fad made a comeback on February 21, 2008 when AndySavage created The most annoying bobblehead in the world. The site combined two Jim Carrey characters: Lloyd Christmas of *Dumb and Dumber* and *Ace Ventura* of a movie of the same name. Ace Ventura's head was edited onto a bobblehead, and when a finger touched the head, it would move erratically, just as it did in a famous scene in *Ace Ventura*. While it was doing this, Lloyd Christmas was screaming the most annoying sound in the world. The site is currently the fourth highest rated site of all time.

Drop It Like It's Hot

The fad began on July 4, 2005 with a remix of Snoop Dogg's hit "Drop it Like it's Hot". The acappella version was remixed to a musical piece from KPM Music composer Andrew Fenner, titled "Folli The Foal". The site quickly became popular and soon there were other attempts at remixing Snoop Dogg. Some of the choices involved the use of Super Mario Underground Music and Parappa the Rapper. The fad never really reached popular status due to the tremendous amount of difficulty with remixing the acapella version with other songs. However, it did usher in a stew of remixes of various other songs like Eminem's "Without Me", Dr. Dre's "What's the Difference", and 50 Cent's "In Da Club".

Due to the lyrics used in many of Snoop's songs, he has ushered in a ton of YTMND poking fun at his image. These sites may or may not use music from Snoop Dogg's albums.

The song was later part of the Snoop Nye the Slam Guy fad.

HeadOn

**HeadOn** is a fad started in mid-2006 based on a commercial about a so-claimed headache curing medicine called HeadOn. The commercial consisted of a woman repeatedly saying "HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead!" Despite, or perhaps because of how annoying the commercial of HeadOn was, it became an internet meme and later a fad on YTMND. The first person who made a HeadOn YTMND is unknown.

### The Product

HeadOn is a product that was made by Miralus Healthcare at the time of the advertisements (and currently made by Sirvision, inc). It was meant to relieve headaches, a fact not mentioned in the commercial, probably because it doesn't actually relieve headaches: HeadOn uses homeopathy, which is no more effective than a placebo.

### The Commercial

In 2006, HeadOn began advertising their product with a simple commercial: A woman, standing in front of a (depending on the version) blue or green grid background, applying the product directly to the forehead as a female voice repeats "HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead!" then saying it was available at pharmacies. That was the entire commercial.

Naturally, the internet began to make fun of it. One of these places was YTMND, which was no doubt attracted by the mindless repetition of one phrase over and over.

Dickcream.com

## History

Dickcream.com was a domain name registered by Max Goldberg in 2003. Sean, a friend of Goldberg, had suggested that 'dickcream' would be an amusing name for a domain name before his untimely passing in January, 2004. Goldberg decided that the site should be put to use in memoriam of Sean, but was unable to devise appropriate content to the site.

Although continuing to host the site, Goldberg passed control of the domain to sodae in early 2004. This infamous moment was caught by logging technology available at the time, and displayed here for posterity.

{macks} ill give you access to a domain

{macks} i dont have anything for dickcream.com

{sodae} sweat [sic]

{sodae} ill just keep making lame flash loops and animated gifs

{sodae} they're so rofleriffic

Sodae, in February of 2004, began posting flash animations accompanied by loops of music. Many consider these rudimentary sites to be the precursors to 'YTMNDs' as we now know them.

## Influence on YTMND

Many YTMND users were influenced by the earlier site, as can be seen in sites that veered away from the original 'tiling and text' style of early YTMNDs, which were modeled after the original yourethemannowdog.com. One of the more famous examples would be the Batman: ualuealuealeuale site which is in the YTMND Hall of Fame.

Additionally, when sodae took down dickcream.com in the summer of 2005, it spawned a YTMND backlash, where users created sites that mourned its closing bearing text such as, "the Internet isn't the same without you."
