- mediocrejoker 7y agoThanks. I wonder whether the original comment about "doom music" is also a reference to the film? I had never heard of it.
- wyldfire 7y agoI just assumed it was about ytmnd.
- PickledJesus 7y agoIt's the other way around, the film is based on a classified ad, which many years earlier was a YTMND meme/fad. NEDM is also a classic YTMND meme. https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/NEDM https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/NEDM It has a complicated origin, but a lot of YTMND was organic and weird like that.
- philwelch 7y agoNo, the film was an adaptation of a classified ad that was popularized by a YTMND page.
- wyldfire 7y agoOh really?! Wow, I had no idea.
- drharby 7y agoThe meme predates the film. Nedm is another meme. I officially am a boomer spotcorrecting ancient memes

- hodr 7y agoSorry, that meme started on YTMND in 2005 based on a post in a newspaper from the 90s. Saying the references in this thread are of the movie is like saying any mention online of "Gandalf" is a reference to the Lego Lord of the Rings game.
- Y_Y 7y agoAre you saying that Lego Gandalf travelled back in time to retcon himself into popular fiction?
