'''Raymond''' sites feature a [http://www.ytmnd.com/assets/410ceb652b4febc36ca19f56a7c8d75b GIF of Ray Barone] ([[w:Ray Romano|Ray Romano]]) from ''[[w:Everybody Loves Raymond|Everybody Loves Raymond]]'', dancing with his hands through his shorts in front of his wife Debra ([[w:Patricia Heaton|Patricia Heaton]]) in a bedroom.  The first site with the GIF on record, {{ytmnd|sc2announced|Starcraft 2 Announced!!!}}, was made on February 18, 2008 by {{ytmnduser|houseofcards}}; by the end of the next day, 10 had already been made.
 
 
Most Raymond sites feature a title that suggests the viewer will see the first pictures of a new product, a fad site, or some similar joke; instead, the GIF appears—usually tiled—and is set to random music (video game background tunes, etc.).  They are, in effect, spammy [[wiktionary:bait-and-switch|bait-and-switch]] pranks.
 
 
Since its creation, many other GIFs (of ''Raymond'', ''[[w:Frasier|Frasier]]'', and other sitcoms and videos) have been made by houseofcards and others, and used in similar fashion.
