Original YTMND:
Bill Cosby Pokemon  
Worthy spinoffs:

The Bill Cosby fad was first popularized on YTMND by The Simpsons episode "Children of a Lesser Clod"[1]. A short segment of the episode shows Bill Cosby asking a child "What do you like to play?" on an episode of Bill Cosby Says The Darndest Things (a spoof off of the show Kids Say The Darndest Things, hosted by Cosby himself). The child promptly replies "Pokémon!" and Cosby incoherently rambles, "Pokémon?! Pokémon with the pokey and the mon and the thing where the guy comes out of the thing, and he makes a vlarah fazah wal ah ah ah!"

Cosby YTMNDs have also included fictional Cosby quotes from the The Simpsons episode "'Round Springfield"[2] (where Cosby explains "what the jazz is all about" on a episode of The Cosby Show) and the Family Guy episode "Brian Does Hollywood"[3] (where Stewie appears on Kids Say The Darndest Things). This fad is simultaneously one of the most popular and most hated fads in YTMND history. The fad was popular back in 2005, but it wasn't until early 2006 when the user Kassius created multiple Cosby sites featuring his quotes set to various songs like Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out". Since then, there have been at least one new Cosby site each day. It is also a very ironic fad, considering none of the "Cosby quotes" prominently used were actually spoken by Cosby himself.

One of the most popular YTMNDs to come out of this fad is Cosby Bebop created by user SirLemming; a parody of the opening credits of Cowboy Bebop. Cosby Bebop has also reached Hall of Fame status.
