Many of the fads that exist on YTMND would also have their own "TIGER Handheld" site, which related to what the fad represented. The sites have the LCD graphics displaying what the original fad starter had in the site, in addition to some editing to include a score or anything related to that. The buttons were also customized in some cases to make it seem like a real interactive game.

+
This fad was started by the original ''[[Conan is...]] an Alligator!'' YTMND featuring Conan O'Brien flailing his arms like the jaws of an alligator.
+
 
+
That animated GIF was then incorporated into an original [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Electronics Tiger Handheld], with a few replacements.
+
  
The label was replaced by screen captures of Conan's show overlaid by a replaced screen.  The LCD screen was then converted into a two-part grayscale animation of Conan opening and closing his arms like an alligator.
+
The TIGER handheld fad modifies the LCD handheld games released by TIGER from the late 80s to the early 90s  to include already established fads.
  
The fad took off with YTMND makers incorporating a basic formula:
+
== Fad Structure ==
*Replace label with an overlay of the target character (id Picard, Ronald, Peppers, etc.).
+
*Replace the LCD screen with a two-part animation depicting the original YTMND (ie Conan is, lol internet, etc).
+
*Photoshop the buttons and their labels to create the illusion of a legitimate Tiger application.  This was optional.
+
  
The looping sound file is usually an 8-bit version of which ever sound file was prevalent on the original YTMND. The idea was to make it sound low-tech and very 1990s.
+
The original YTMND of this fad is a modification of ''[[Conan is...]] an alligator!'', and started a structure that has not been heavily edited since:
 +
* Replace handheld border with an overlay of the target character (ie. Picard, Ronald, Peppers, etc.).
 +
* Replace the LCD screen with a two-part animation depicting the original YTMND (ie. Conan is, lol internet, etc.).
 +
* Photoshop the buttons and their labels to create the illusion of a legitimate Tiger application.  This is optional.
 +
* Create a sound loop of the song associated with the fad, lowering the quality to match that of  background music for a TIGER handheld game.
  
There are dozens upon dozens of copy-cats and expansions of the Conan + Tiger YTMND, and a few of the more popular, entertaining ones are included.
+
This fad has recently expanded to include spoofs featuring Nintendo's Game And Watch series instead of Tiger Handhelds.

Worthy Spinoffs:

The TIGER handheld fad modifies the LCD handheld games released by TIGER from the late 80s to the early 90s to include already established fads.

Fad Structure

The original YTMND of this fad is a modification of Conan is... an alligator!, and started a structure that has not been heavily edited since:

  • Replace handheld border with an overlay of the target character (ie. Picard, Ronald, Peppers, etc.).
  • Replace the LCD screen with a two-part animation depicting the original YTMND (ie. Conan is, lol internet, etc.).
  • Photoshop the buttons and their labels to create the illusion of a legitimate Tiger application. This is optional.
  • Create a sound loop of the song associated with the fad, lowering the quality to match that of background music for a TIGER handheld game.

This fad has recently expanded to include spoofs featuring Nintendo's Game And Watch series instead of Tiger Handhelds.
