| Original YTMND: moon man sings best song ever |
| Worthy spinoffs: |
The Moon Man fad was created on May 31st, 2007 by YTMND user farkle. The original Moon Man site featured an animated GIF of former McDonald's mascot Mac Tonight, playing the piano along to the popular fad song "Macarron Chacarron" by El Chombo. While the fad originally started out with Moon Man jamming out to YTMND fad music on his piano, the majority of Moon Man sites feature him talking using AT&T Labs Text To Speech (the official Moon Man voice is AT&T Mike) and often features a long chanting of "KKK!"

As a YTMND fad "character" (such as Batman or Picard), Moon Man was originally a harmless musical talent. However, as his creator Farkle and others successfully developed him, he was further associated with racism and violence. Some assume this is because his head is shaped somewhat like a Klu Klux Klan hood. Currently, Moon Man is depicted as a profane, racist, sexist, homophobic criminal, given to elaborate acts of sexual violence and/or hate crimes. Much of the humor in Moon Man sites is derived from hearing offensive, violent subject matter spoken in Moon Man's deadpan, nonchalant tone of voice.
During months of late October and November 2008, the official "Moon Crew" was formed. The members of this organization are dedicated to their goal of filling YTMND with Moon Man sites, as well as "chatting racist shit" and chanting "KKK" all day. The Moon Crew has many levels of rank in the membership, and are as follows. "Moon Man"- the indisputable leader of the Moon Crew. This title is held by Moon Man himself, and not by any ytmnd user. "afweuqfjqiqegjikh"- Moon Speak word for "First Mate". The afweuqfjqiqegjikh is second to Moon Man. (farkkkle) "High Racist"- Third in line, and responsible for most of the governing and membership of the Crew. (FowderSoapReturns) "Moony Crewman"- A high officer in charge of aiding the senior staff in keeping Crew business running smoothly.(JamesChicks) "Nigger Lyncher/Jew Burner"- The rank of all regular members upon entry (currently Hypersaxon, Incredibled, Mr-Ross (banned by max), JamesMedicine, Clownch, Excrement, skkoobysnakks, ThatDude, fofofum, shackleford1, and YourOldPalMoonMan). "Associate Crewman"- users who are not members of the Crew, but still make Moon man sites regularly, and recieve Crew protection from downvoters. Such members include Raamrod, ssj4vegeta and dam.
On August 21st of 2009, AT&T became aware of the ever increasingly powerful force known as "Moon Man." Thus when the word "moon man" is typed into the TTS demo's box, it results in an automatic error message. Thankfully an intrepid young Moon Crew task force lead by FowderSoap quickly thwarted the evil plan, and discovered a way to bypass the error. FowderSoapReturns then created a new site in order to warn and instruct all those who would seek to aid the Moon Crew's cause. Moon Man Emergency Broadcast There is also an alternative and uncensored demo hosted by Wizzard.
On November 4th, 2009, a relatively unknown YTMND user named TheREALAmerica uploaded what appeared to be his first Moon Man site. But what separated this Moon Man YTMND from all the others was the fact that his site had a picture of someone wearing their own Moon Man mask (speculated to most likely be TheREALAmerica wearing the full costume), and the site had Moon Man calling himself "Real Life Moon Man", meaning that somehow, Moon Man now existed in our world and was going to explore it and take pictures of himself at various locations, only to upload these photos with his own commentary for each one. The message ended with Moon Man asking if any YTMND users wanted to help him write the commentary for any of his photos, they should leave a comment on the site and he'd get back to them. The site's name was appropriately entitled Moon Man Becomes Real and Enters Our World.
