A good example of this is The Bauman E-mails: A Dramatic Reading a site created by boomaga after the eBaum's World controversy in which he read the Cease and Desist emails sent by the the Baumans in the voice of a mock Shakespearean actor. The sheer ridiculousness of the hammy, faux-English accent coupled with the use of internet slang (the term "lol" is used in one email, Boomaga decided to pronouce it literally) gained it mass popularity and caused it to stay at the Top-rated YTMND spot for several weeks. While The Bauman Emails is not the first "reading" site to be made (sites such as Peta People Smart! predate it by at least a month), it is undoubtably the most famous and was added to the Hall of Fame, later starting the Dramatic Reading fad ([1]).
