| − | The '''''Metal Gear Solid''''' fad is a parody of the death sequences from the popular series of ''[[w:Metal Gear (series)|Metal Gear Solid]]'' video games.

| + | |
| − | In the games, whenever the main protagonist dies, a member of his backup team is heard frantically trying to contact him through the Codec (radio) as the Game Over music plays. In the original ''[[w:Metal Gear Solid|Metal Gear Solid]]'', the most popular death sequence occurred when [[w:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Otacon|Otacon]] radioed the recently deceased [[w:Solid Snake|Solid Snake]] and cried out thusly:

| − | | + | |
| − | ''"Snake, what's going on? Snake? SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!?"''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This sequence quickly attained cult status for it's ludicrous melodrama and half-hearted voice acting. However, it became so popular that the sequel (''[[w:Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty|Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'') had a similarly scripted death sequence far more often, and every single death sequence in the threequel (''[[w:Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater|Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'') contained the now infamous "SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!?".

| − | The first YTMND did not feature Otacon calling for Snake, but Luigi calling for Mario:

| − | | + | |
| − | ''"Mario? MAAAAAARIOO!!!!"''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The site became popular for it's time and eventually spawned spin-offs months later featuring other fad characters of 2004 (such as [[Ugoff]], [[KHAN!|Kirk]], etc...). The fad never really became full-blown instantly, but rather, grew at a steady rate, sometimes spawning multiple sites each day. Eventually, in 2005 the ''Metal Gear Solid'' fad was noticed, and has sometimes made it's way to various fad conglomerates.
