For the last god damn time, children, let me try to remind you of this simple concept: SITE CREATION AND SITE CRITIQUE ARE TWO REALMS COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER. You don't see every f*cking movie critic pulling out a camera or every art critic picking up a paint brush. Criticism is a form of art within itself. I know this violates your "OMGDFFEE U MUSTZ CREZATZESZ PAGE 2 BE RIGTE" mentality, but it's well over-time you accept this hard truth. My photoshop skills are so feeble that I could never hope to create any decent site; however, I offer some of the most unbiased and accurate criticism on this website. If you're confused on what I think of your site, refer to the two posts above.
Just like how some sites are better than other sites, certain users are more prone to fairly judging a page. Constructive critcism? Sure: delete this site. Go create some sort of unique content or combine a fad with a new idea. When you're creating your page, don't cater to the lowest common denominator of community standards and site design.
I hate to break your postmodern bubble of humor relativism, but, by conventional standards (don’t even try forming some sort of "this is incredible humor/art we're decades from understand" bullsh*t argument), some content is funnier than other content. We judge YTMND's on a good number of criteria, which sadly varies from user to user, and those judgments then stratify what people do and do not see on the front page. Why do you think YTMND's have ratings in the first place? Lately, any non-YTMND has been treated to a f*cking table-spoon sized helping of excessive community f*ggotry, sh*t only understood and appreciated by the cult-like individuals produced and influenced production, whenever they visit the site for the first time.
"Obviously some people like it." See the wiki entry on "NARV." Community standards right now are so f*cking low that just about any pile of internet kitsch -- featuring some sort of Nintendo nostalgia, conglomorated fad bullsh*t, or a well known author --can dominate the front page and get rave views. In short, the community has been dumbed down and segemented into camps of zealous "INTERENTZ CRUSAZERZX" who jump over any form of Elmer's glue that holds our proverbial birdhouse together. And right now, that glue takes the form of sh*tty YTMND's (until their next big raid at least). Don't think I'm just blindly downvoting sh*t -- At least a fifth of my votes are 5's. I just want to see this site return to the land of internet funny.
Does it deserve to be number 1?
If not, then it isn't going to be for long. From what I see, #1 is whatever the people viewing this site thinks that #1 is...hence why we have ratings, instead of a select few people choosing.
"don’t even try forming some sort of "this is
incredible humor/art we're decades from understand" bullsh*t argument
Wouldn't dream to. All I'm saying is that some people like this site and find it humorous, but for some reason you find it to talk down to them. "Taste" is in the eye of the beholder.
"I just want to see this site return to the land of internet
funny."
Correction: you want it to return to your form of funny. And if enough people find the same things funny/not funny as you, it will change to support what they/you find funny.
Think of this like fart jokes: some people like them, some people don't. But why deny them the laugh?
"Whining" I assume you mean a hard dose of reason, critique, observation, and truth bundled together with such precision that it stabs into your eyes a little deeper with each passing word. Really. Standards and what we consider “whining” shifts with the drop of a dime or gust of the wind. You can’t look at well-explained and critically sound claims in a subjective light and label them as “whining” at your digression. I guess, from your warped and childish perspective, we can be thankful this site REVOLVES around various “whines.” Otherwise, we’d just have a giant front page full of random sh*t. In other news, this sh*t is down to 5. Now if we can just bump it down off the front page...
I don't get it - foaming says we destroyed the site. Obviously the people who posted here 5'ing it enjoyed this. What exactly did we destroy? We like it. The owner likes it. It's funny/entertaining for us. Your views = your views, not... everybody elses views. I think people may have CHANGED the site, but.. that's how life goes.
I for one, found this very amusing~
"Or, perhaps, I might have not given up on this retarded community just yet. Perhaps we'll see a return to the days of internet funny. I'm willing to wait around. If people are so f*cking stupid that they'd upvote a YTMND based on any other criterion of the site other than quality, then I suppose that is a nessessary compromise. -foamingpanda
LOLOLOLLOLOLOOOOOL
“whining” is repetative complaining, with or without justification (or in this case, even if you're critiqueing). Whether you should quit it is up to what you think. I do remember a site like this that was on the front page for a couple of days around a year ago...different city, but the same concept.
Yeah, the large number of "5'ed for Panda's rant" only provides clear evidence of just WHY the rating system has degenerated into an almost hopeless pile of sh*t. Remember, children, if your criteria for a vote involve any criterion other than those that involve the quality of the site, you are, as Lex Luthor might say, WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG! God damn, for the sake of the site, we really need to restrict voting and take back the front page, =/.
Yeah, I registered when I could no longer click the front page and see a majority of funny YTMND's that were entertaining, funny, or creative. Before that, I could of given a f*ck less about the community of this site or any external function it serves. You may consider this godless E-TRAITORIZISM, but this site exists to facilitate the creation of internet funny. Any outside activities do not, in any way, enhance the quality of sites.
Damn I forgot to post what I originally intended to. I would suggest making a sound, rather than just the looping Mario music. Perhaps some sound effects from the game, such as the sound of Mario losing his powerup from being hit, or the music when he dies. Hell you can even get something worthwhile from the SMB3 cartoon.
panda: lol, it's the internets for christsakes. What did you really expect? If what total strangers do on a user-submitted internet humor site bothers you so much you should take the thesauras out of your vagina and spend some time in the real world. And CAPITALIZING words to emphasize your point doesn't work, it just makes you come off as more of a pretentious f*cktard then you already do.
Every foamingpanda comment ever: "Listen children, you are a bunch of vindictive teenage nerds blahblahblah NARV kitsch blahblahblah f*cking video game cliches blahblah retarded in-bred "community" of in-bred children "HERE IS TEH PART WHER I MISSPELLL THNGZ TU MAEK FUN UF U." blahblahblah internet funny." ... Panda, get off your high horse plz.
i 5'd this site because it makes me laugh, i originally was gonna 4 it but then i saw foamingpanda trying to tell me what i should and what i shouldn't find funny.
as the matter of fact we stil decide what we think is funny, if you can't handle that then gtfo of ytmnd and make your own site so you can nazi moderate it to your liking.
A "fool" is an idiot gullible enough to accept any low-standard slapped on their plate as a great masterpeice. Again, I don't expect much from an internet community where users' heads are lodged so far up each others asses that they are virtually isolated from any sort of external critcism. Even at f*cking EBaums, you click the front page and understand half of the retarded stolen sh*t that pops up -- unlike the little cultish niche of vindictive teenagers (excuse the cliche but it describes the community well) we've carved out in recent months. YTMND is no longer funny because a large segment of the community caters to itself and continues shoving its head deeper up the ridiculous standards and NARV garbage that currently gets votes.
Oh, by the way, if you want a #1 YTMND just shop this over an IPOD screen, add a few fads for a conglomorated bonus, and put mario in somewhere. And, once again, let me remind you that -- like all aspects of criticsm -- CREATION and CRITICISM work independently of each other. Again, I don't expect much from children, but maybe, in time, we'll return to internet funny.
Yet, you 5'd these panda. http://turbanites.ytmnd.com/ http://lolironmaiden.ytmnd.com/
Yes, I can feel the creativity, time, originality and effort SURGING through those ones. So whyd you REALLY downvote this? I dunno, but what I DO know is that I found this YTMND amusing (apparently thats a crime/makes me a moron)and gave it a 4. My criteria are funny/interesting/cool = good rating. Dont think you're above everyone because you expect every front page ytmnd to be on the Mona-Lisa scale of artistry.

You know what? I actually agree with faomingpanda. This site may have taken barely 10 minutes to put together. It uses an overused concept in an overused situation. This site does NOT deserve to be in the Top 5. The only reason that this site is so high right now is because the downvoters have all missed it so far. It isn't fair that good sites can be downvoted to hell before they get a chance, and horrible sites are upvoted just to counter the downvoters.
I understand your frustration,foamingpanda,however I don't this applies as NARV material.I'll admit I had to look up the definition myself,but from my understanding a typical NARV site is one where lack of creativity and effort(as in using a well known image with oversued sound) is present.This,to me,seems to be the opposite of that.
"Eh, overrated. Clever, but nothing else." Cleverness is something to be cherished, not overlooked. Look at yourthemannowdog.com, our founding father of YTMND, all it consists of is Cleverness, and stolen images and sounds. I think that should enable us YTMND'ers to be clever (but stop stealing sh*t)
