| − | The '''O RLY?''' YTMND is the spawn of the [[w:O RLY?|"O RLY?" owl]] of Internet Meme fame. The origins of this particular fad come from [http://www.4chan.org 4chan] as a response to posts that were difficult to believe, non-sequitur, nonsensical, or drew skepticism. The phrase itself likely originated in the Something Awful FYAD forum, while the snowy owl image originated at 4chan.

| − | ==Origins and Fad Structure==
| + | |
| − | The original O RLY YTMND was created on May 21, 2005 by [http://ytmnd.com/users/limecat402/ limecat402]. It is only one of three YTMNDs he has made to date, but it is probably the most prolific YTMND to date due to its cult-status as an internet phenomenon.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A typical, basic O RLY YTMND consists of a wide-eyed [[w:Snowy_owl|Snow Owl]] with the phrase ''O RLY?'' juxtapositioned beneath it.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The phrase O RLY is internet shorthand for ''oh really,'' and is typically used to mock AOL users or used as a response to a [[w:non-sequitur|non-sequitur]]. This use is very similar to ''I Love Lamp,'' which is used when someone adds something particularly useless to a discussion.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Expansions upon the original phenomenon include a [[w:Great Horned Owl|Great Horned Owl]] emblazoned with the words "YA RLY!" in response to the Snowy Owl, and a third owl<!-- Of what kind? Help me out here! --> with the exclamation "NO WAI!".
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Possible Overuse==
| + | |
| − | At this point, there there are hundreds, if not thousands, of permutations of this internet meme. The ease with which this kind of YTMND can be created (read: a quick MSPaint job) cause widespread use and abuse of the O RLY fad.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Music choice ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The most popular song choices for the fad includes "Rock Lobster" by The B-52s and "Popcorn" by the M & H Band, the latter being a remake of the original "[[w:Popcorn (instrumental)|Popcorn]]". Both songs are on the [[YTMND Soundtrack]] (Rock Lobster on Volume 4 and Popcorn on Volume 5). Recently, a newer rave version of "Popcorn" by Gucci has become popular.

| − | ==Alternate universes==
| + | |
| − | ===PTKFGS===
| + | |
| − | In the first alternate universe, "O RLY?" is called "R U SHUR?" "SHUR M SHUR" "KENT B!!!", with images of cats together with [[Daft Punk]]'s Da Funk. [http://rushur.ytmnd.com/]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Both "R U SHUR" and "SHUR M SHUR" images were originally created by [[User:NeoMatrixClt]], who used loops from DJ Talpy's Megamix 2003. [http://rusure.ytmnd.com] [http://surmsur.ytmnd.com]

| − | ===YesYes===
| + | |
| − | In the second alternate universe, [[YesYes]], there's three variants.
| + | |
| − | *"4 RL?" "4 SUR" "GT OWT!" with fishes, accompained by Basement Jaxx' Where's Your Head At?. [http://yesyes-4rl.ytmnd.com]
| + | |
| − | *"how do u no?" "coz i no" "STFUG!" with squirrels, together with TechnoMadness' remixed Tetris theme. [http://howdouno.ytmnd.com/]
| + | |
| − | *"SRSLY?" "YA SRSLY" "WTF!?" with dogs and an edited Popcorn theme. [http://srsly.ytmnd.com]
| + | |

| − | ===[[4th Corner]]===
| + | |
| − | Many different universes have been made, but none of them are "official".
| + | |
| − | *{{ytmnd|yhtmoag|YHTMOAG}} has got "lol srsly?" "YA SRSLY" "OMGWTFBBQ" with turtles, and music by Gasolina. [http://lolsrsly.ytmnd.com/]
| + | |
| − | *{{ytmnd|hehdotcom|Heh}}'s version is "SRSLY?" "OF CORZ" "U DONT SAI!" with seals, accompanied with Mark The 45 King's The 900 Number. [http://srslytk.ytmnd.com/]

| − | ===Criticism===
| + | |
| − | Some YTMND users, such as Kacen, are frustrated by the fact that the O RLY? owl tends to appear in YTMND fad compilations when its not an original YTMND fad, but a generic internet fad that began at 4chan and is now an old meme.
