The fad was started in 2002 in SomethingAwful, and migrated to various other sites including Fark.com. A site was created prior to the first ytmnds called http://www.itsatrap.net which was a classic-styled ytmnd complete with a picutre of Ackbar, the text "It's a Trap" coming out, and the sound clip of the scene from Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. After ytmnd was established, the Ackbar fad migrated to the site.
Ackbar sites can be done in one of various ways
- Other characters saying "it's a trap" such as Solid Snake, Frank Burns from M*A*S*H, Peppy Hare from Star Fox (e.g. Solid Snake).
- The quote used to describe something as a possible trap (e.g. The Superdome during Katrina)
- Remixed with another song (e.g. Rap Remix)
- Sometimes, Ackbar's quote may come randomly in another site without warning (e.g. Enraged Cake)
Recently though, a medley of various characters saying "It's a Trap" including Ackbar has been used for trap sites.
Despite not being as popular as other fads like Picard, Vader, and Milton, Ackbar will often show up in conglomerate sites.
