Although some claim that the fad was a forced effort by some parties, its popularity caught on instantly.

Reasons for uncle philTMND's success
Versatility
While many fads are often tied down by one song or image, users have found numerous ways to encorporate Phillip Banks and mashed potatoes into unique YTMNDs.
Charm
Let's face it, Phillip Banks was one of the most charming and likeable sitcom characters of the nineties. If Phillip's big bald head and warm smile doesn't cheer you up, I don't know what will.
