The OBEY ... fad began with Spotz YTMND OBEY nixon. The original OBEY YTMND consisted of a tiled image of a cel-shaded Richard Nixon superimposed upon a video monitor with an adolescent staring into the monitor. It is accompanied by a short sound clip from Marilyn Manson's Rock is Dead, specifically the quote "God is in the TV."
YTMND Characteristics
The only similarity between most of the OBEY YTMNDs is that they usually have a well-known celebrity or character demanding something out of you (typically a five-star vote). Usually the character in question is photoshopped to appear more menacing or frightening (in order to force you to obey). There is hardly any similarity between audio tracks featured.
Forced Fad Status
Later on that weekend, the YTMND was featured on the infamous The Price is LOL forums, and the YTMND was quickly transformed into a forced fad. This sudden explosion of popularity saw the creation of many spinoffs, including many YTMND heavy-hitters including Jean-Luc Picard, Donald Rumsfeld and Sean Connery. Fortunately, like most forced-fads, it quickly died out, and quality spinoffs of this fad have not been seen in many months.
