'''Facial Expressions''' is a fad generally involving a fast-moving animated GIF of a person in different photos but with the same facial expression. These YTMNDs are accompanied by the Eric Prydz song "Call on Me". Two of these YTMNDs are currently in the [[Hall of Fame]], {{link|parisfacial|Paris Hilton doesn't change facial expressions}}, because it is the most viewed, and {{link|lohanfacial|Lindsay Lohan doesn't change facial expressions}}, because it was famously posted and watermarked on [[eBaum's World]] without giving credit to the original creator. This action started what is commonly known as "the YTMND war".

+
In more recent versions the picture may also be static and depict various people either "dead" or "frozen".  The first trap site created was called "{{link|han-dcfe|Han Solo doesn't change facial expressions}}" which instead of showing a gif of Han Solo's face changing expressions, showed a static JPEG picture of frozen Han Solo as seem in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.  There have been many similar sites made since including the popular "Fry Doesn't Change Facial Expressions", which shows Phillip J. Fry of Futurama trapped in a frozen pod as seen in the first episode of Futurama.

It originated from a flash file that was found in an update (on May 24, 2005) at [[Albino Blacksheep]] called 'The Face'. The .gif used in the Lindsay Lohan version of this fad became infamous when it was posted and watermarked on eBaum's World without permission. On a side note it is sometimes disputed whether the original "Facial Expressions" YTMND was actually "{{link|japanisnotoriginalatanime|Anime is Original?}}", especially since it was incepted two months before "{{link|girlface|Another Girl Who Doesn't Change Facial Expressions}}".

== Origins ==
+
A user of the SomethingAwful.com forums was suspicious about a person who contacted him by IM who claimed to be a hot girl who was "sweating" for him. Internet detectives investigated and pictures of the girl were posted, leading to the [http://girlface.ytmnd.com/ Another girl who doesn't change facial expressions] site. In fact the sketchy "hot girl" turned out to be a homosexual man named Victor who found pictures of this girl.

+
 
+
== Song ==
+
 
+
The "Call On Me" loop was originally used in the site {{link|callonmeeeee|Pussy Thrusting Class}} by Dasyati, which concerned itself with part of the music video for the song. The song is also featured in the site {{y|jamestown|Jamestown was the first...}}, which is part of the [[Dew Army]] fad. The itself song is based on a sample from Steve Winwood's "Valerie".
