There's a Flash thread so why not? Most of them fall under the "so stupid it's funny" category so you might lose some braincells. You have been warned.
First, This is quite sick yet freaking hilarious. (http://creamrush.ytmnsfw.com/) (ignore the NSFW tag, it's made of ingame sounds for glod's sake.)
This is REALLY stupid but funny for some reason. (http://legendoftheuberhax.ytmnd.com/)
I remember seeing some really good ones but I can't remember the links. So, fire away.

We've had a greenday conspiracy thread, furry thread and some 'above you' game threads. A YTMND one isn't all that bad.

It's not that: it's just that I hate YTMND. Almost every site on it is either someone trying to make a stupid point badly by making a webpage with only one sentence, or it's an animated gif that while terribly impressive isn't really helped by being tiled all over my monitor.

But I wasn't going to say so because I thought that might be considered trolling.

I don't care much for YTMND either, I think it's a poor escuse of a Flash replacement. But their not all bad, I don't hate it for it's content, just dislike it for it's replaciveness. Just like Xbox and School fails at life.
"Failing at Life" is a 4chan quote, stupid YTMND users steeling it.

You could of at least been witty. I mean, though I have a 360, I would've laughed at "Xbox 360 rips off another customer:
