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. {{ytmnd|snakestrap|Solid Snake}}).
+
*The quote used to describe something as a possible trap (e.g. {{ytmnd|ackbargetsjiggy|The Superdome during Katrina}})
+
*Remixed with another song (e.g. {{ytmnd|itsatraprap|Rap Remix}})
+
*Sometimes, Ackbar's quote may come randomly in another site without warning (e.g. {{ytmnd|nedmcakesong|Enraged Cake}})
+
 
+
Recently though, a {{ytmnd|iatiat|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.
+
 
+
Family Guy's 2010 parody of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi is named "It's a Trap!" The name was possibly inspired by this YTMND fad in addition to Ackbar's line itself.
