==Origin==
+
 
+
The Guten Tag fad, first started by the user '''Ejbloo''', appeared on YTMND on March 6th, 2009.  It is based on the '''Raisin Brahms''' fake cereal ad.
+
 
+
The fad is based of a public service announcement from The Arts Council.  It depicts a child asking what's for breakfast, then Johannes Brahms played by actor Tom Konkle (http://www.daveandtom.com) smashes through a wall shouting "Guten Tag" (German for “[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/guten%20Tag Good Day!]”).  Although the PSA is intended to encourage art literacy in children, the creators posed it as an ad for Raisin Brahms cereal.
+
 
+
Although it doesn't appear in the original site, the child promptly replies "It's good!" (http://itsgoood.ytmnd.com). The father grows concerned with both Bobby and Suzie's fake Brahms beards, to which the composer replies, "Don't worry!  That's just the power of the arts!"
+
There is a shorter different version of the same PSA here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF3HjoFzfVc)  which features Tom Konkle as Brahms saying, "listen to your Uncle Johannes Raisin Brahms make you grow up smart and successful so you can be a doctor or lawyer or handsome genius composer...like me"
+
 
+
==Parody Sites==
+
The first parody site is simply the original fad posted backwards. What makes it funny is the look of shock on the father's face as he sees Brahms (apparently) leaving.
+
 
+
The second parody site is based off http://pi.ytmnd.com, the pi song, but includes Brahms and the kids in the commercial singing throughout the song.
+
 
+
The fourth site is based off "lol, toolchest" but instead depicts Brahms riding down the stairs.
