The '''''Metal Gear Solid''''' fad is a parody of the death sequences from the popular series of ''[[w:Metal Gear (series)|Metal Gear Solid]]'' video games.

+
==Origin==
+
In the games, whenever the main protagonist dies, a member of his backup team is heard frantically trying to contact him through the Codec (radio) as the Game Over music plays.  In the original ''[[w:Metal Gear Solid|Metal Gear Solid]]'', the most popular death sequence occurred when [[w:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Otacon|Otacon]] radioed the recently deceased [[w:Solid Snake|Solid Snake]] and cried out thusly:
+
 
+
''"Snake, what's going on?  Snake?  SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!?"''
+
 
+
This sequence quickly attained cult status for it's ludicrous melodrama and half-hearted voice acting.  However, it became so popular that the sequel (''[[w:Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty|Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'') had a similarly scripted death sequence far more often, and every single death sequence in the threequel (''[[w:Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater|Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'') contained the now infamous "SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!?".
+
 
+
==Fad==
+
The first YTMND did not feature Otacon calling for Snake, but Luigi calling for Mario:
+
 
+
''"Mario?  MAAAAAARIOO!!!!"''
+
 
+
The site became popular for it's time and eventually spawned spin-offs months later featuring other fad characters of 2004 (such as [[Ugoff]], [[KHAN!|Kirk]], etc...).  The fad never really became full-blown instantly, but rather, grew at a steady rate, sometimes spawning multiple sites each day.  Eventually, in 2005 the ''Metal Gear Solid'' fad was noticed, and has sometimes made it's way to various fad conglomerates.
+
 
+
''Metal Gear Solid'' sites still spawn once in a while, most of them taking in decent ratings.
