the internet is serious business

Win.

Well I for one love and respect our new prank phone calling overlord

make it stop max!

how bout we get max to get his *ss over here and ban the little c*nt

EVERYONE SHOULD REPORT THE SITE AND DEMAND IT'S REMOVAL.

5'd for justice of great portions

Good, but a bit too long and not enough NEDM.

nice ytmnd, and i agree, that telemarketer call thing isnt that funny

long live blue ball machine

Who f*cking cares if a site is getting a ton of hits and it's on a lot of websites and Google................good for them for creating something that is getting recognition even if a bunch of people don't like it!

I don't think anything fair could be done. I actually only contributed to the problem by linking that ytmnd on my site earlier today (me being the webmaster). Considering it gets about 80 or so 'registered forum users' a day, and it probably gets at least 200 unique page views a day. Should I remove it? X_X

This site will be killed.

No, no waiting. I've been living my life running away from the truth. In the end, I need a calling. I need to make my mark, EVEN IF IT MEANS ... even if it means ... getting killed in the process ... I will, NAY, I MUST, NAY AGAIN, WE MUST STOP THAT TELEMARKETER SITE! LETS SAVE THOSE BALLS >:o

Run for the hills!

interesting to watch. Telemarketer is an unstoppable juggernaut (bitch)! You could shorten some frames and probably even remove some.

Fantastic YTMND, I was just starting to think the same thing, that ytmnd is getting old, I watched it twice and it was fun, but god it's really not a rewatcher.

Tu as totalement raison. C'est une honte!

yes.. it is true

news flash ftl :/ kinda interesting though

After ten minutes I just couldnt watch anymore. YTMNDs about YTMND autofail. The only way the tetemarketing thing can be forgiven is if he polends the sh*t out of it. Hey, you should do thata with this site too!

We could downvote and spam Sphonix's sites until he axes the site. He could rehost it, just at a different domain so the 20k links won't work.

+1

Get that sh*t off the front page. It's been pissing me off for way too long.

I'm glad you're bludgeoning the word that there is nothing people can do about how "How to prank a telemarketer" gets 100k+ views a day (without Googlebombing). It'll probably fall on deaf ears, but it's worth a shot to stop the flaming. 4'd

What can be done about it? Absolutely making a useless YTMND and leaching votes off of its popularity.

And the two comments that precede my last one are proof of that "Falling on deaf ears" thing.

Blue Ball Machine is a joke. So is the telemarketer site. However, I hope that the telemarketer site does surpass it, as it is a nice reminder of the average YTMNDer's idea of humor.

Korf, did you even watch anything past the first 10 seconds of this ytmnd? :P

Good, blue ball machine sucks anyway.

Holy sh*t

I don't understand how Telemarketer is necessarily bad for YTMND. Yeah, it's not the best site, in terms of "the spirit of YTMND," but if it brings in new viewers, that means more ad revenue. More ad revenue means continued hosting of the thousands of sub-par sites that get posted to ytmnd every day. If you really want to solve the problem, stop posting awful sites to ytmnd, and the need for sites like this one generating the cash will evaporate.

dam it, you are right. But i still will do what some members of YTMND would do, go DownVote his sites. DownVoting = The solution to all of E-Life's problems

Actually the bandwidth bill far outweighed the ad revenue max received. Read more at http://ytmnd.com/news/?news_id=57

yee

Cataclysmic Beef Stick made a great point that I hadn't considered before. If "How to prank a telemarketer" is so widely linked across the internet, it can only increase ytmnd's popularity.

extremely well said... however you could start a campaign to view the other top sites and send out mass spam emails about every other site on ytmnd except for telemarketer...but really if it beats blueball "legally" then it beats it... the exterior public likes what it likes, more kids will always dress up as C3PO no matter how elloquently you explain how much cooler Bossk is...and if you force them to wear lizard masks...well, then give be a call because i think that would be cool

This is good but it still raises the question: How the hell did it get so many links in google and to other sites?

Im surprised you put my comment in there. I would like to know what Max thinks about this. The Telemarketer site is getting way out of hand. I suspect some serious hotlinking and viewhacking is at hand with that site, because it's linked over 20,000 sites and getting 100,000 views a day, you can't help but think that the site is corrupted somehow and someway.

"the exterior public likes what it likes, more kids will always dress up as C3PO no matter how elloquently you explain how much cooler Bossk is...and if you force them to wear lizard masks...well, then give be a call because i think that would be cool" Uhh... I mean, uhh... I agree with your point, and this is a good analogy, but come on now! You lose all credibility.

Wow a f*ggy documentary about something I already know and care absolutely nothing about. Why would max stop it? Everyone who isn't logged in gets ads up the wazoo- that means revenue. All the sheep that are viewing this are getting ads and making max money. Why the hell would you kill the goose that's laying golden eggs? It's like one giant billboard. Hell, he might as well just make it so that this site shows a bunch more ads than the others. I also have a feeling that Sphonix didn't submit this anywhere.

-1 for the last frame ending forever, naturally making us expect something like NEDM or poland, and not delivering. That pissed me off sir. Only fouring it because I agree with you that the Telemarketer YTMND is bullsh*t.

This does not deserve a downvote, because I did learn a couple things from this site, but i suggest that you speed up some of the frame rates, it just moved too slow.

It's a good explanation. My only suggestion is to shorten the frames a bit, I bet everyone here can read 8 words in less that 10 seconds.

It just pisses me off because all he did was post an audio clip he found on the Internet and a transcript. No creactivity whatsoever, and the audio clip has been around for a while anyways. YTMND is for creactivity, not posting audio files that are already popular.

"Things that can be done : nothing!" Thats stupid... Why don't well all just ask for him to remove it for a month or something and see what happens eh? :)

I was in this YTMND! This site is not n*gg*ry.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa cry about how many views a ytmnd gets queers

Damn you, Google. DAMN YOU!

fiving out of relief that more people than just me are tired of that stupid f*cking site getting top viewed every day for WEEKS

THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS!!!

http://blueballfixed.ytmnd.com/ has more google hits then howtoprankatelemarketer.ytmnd.com

but minus the http of course

Do it for the blueball machine!!!

5'd for text based slideshow about YTMND

unless he deletes the site, but yeah we're boned

I'm just annoyed because I heard the sound clip a few days before the site was made and I wish I did it myself ;)

No NEDM at the end? Pffffft.

I'm quite new to YTMND but have been trying to get caught up to speed with all the cliche's and goings on. I thought this was a great show, but the ending needed to be changed. I just kept sitting there waiting for the next screen haha. 5/5 either way

If he added some polend ear rape right in the middle of the thing, then after the listeners ears are bleeding, he throwns in a NEDM, I would be much more accepting.

yeah, its lame that its getting so many views, but so is this.

GLOBAL WARMING

What is the point of this??? Seriously.

I'm wonderfully amused at the people who claim to not care about this site and its subject continue to talk about it.

It's done what needed to be done - Drove the Dr. Leet crap site of the day into the oblivion where it belonged. Not even the fools from vent could band together to stop that. I'd say it's even saved ytmnd.

-1

the telemarketer site draws hits to YTMND.... which means more new people on the site.... which means more people's eyeballs looking at the ads.... which means more money for max.... which makes me happy.

Personally, I'm putting YTMND on my own Red Alert. This is clearly an act of civil war. Theres nothing left to do...but to raise awareness, donate, and rally up to get the true YTMND Defenders of the Internets to rally up and view it as much as possible. Beyond that, all we can do it pray...

Does this mean YTMND will get sued AGAIN!??

I agree, I'm so sick of that telemarketer prank YTMND taking up space.

dramatic, aren't we?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I dislike the telemarketer page only because it's obvious that it is either staged or the telemarketer is even more retarded than the normal one. Noone would buy that prank of any remote common sense. To see Blue Ball Machine and all that YTMND is about axed by it, is really pretty damn sad. That said, like you said, nothing can be done. Banning the guy would not be fair at all, esp. since TBH I doubt the creator really MEANT to do any of this. It just got linked a bunch. This is purely a web meme.

Get this POS site off of YTMND. If you listen to it enough you can tell its fake anyway. If it was real I would have given it more then 2 stars. If this becomes the #1 site of all time it will be a scar on the face of YTMND.

I cant believe you forgot Polynd or at least Polend

I wonder if max has a way to track how many views are from what sites.

YTMND's next raid victim: Google.

What, no NEDM?

If this isn't a case of crabs in a pot, I don't know what is. The guy is getting publicity for YTMND like none of you homos could dream of. WTF do you think that Max would pull a site that brought in that type of traffic? You little kids need to grow the hell up.

Telemarketer call>>>>Blue Ball Machine (which I don't like because it passed Picard song, along with the awful Batman one)

I was seriously expecting NEDM.

We should construct a new site, designed to overtake all YTMNDs before it. We will then bombard every possible site with links. A council of the greatest YTMNDers should be appointed to create this site, to insure its purity and overall value. Also c*cks.

5'd for f*cking truth.

^^^ yes, form a council you should!

can nobody delete it? Can nobody hack this sh*t and delete it? I mean, some douchebag deleted some hall of fame sites somehow, why don't we recruit his bitch-ass? I mean... UGHH, I know thats bad and shouldn't be done, but must we REALLY sit and do NOTHING! Come on! SOMETHING MUST be able to be done... I just can't accept that this is happening... Must we really just sit around and do nothing?

i don't like it, it wasn't all that funny to begin with, doesn't belong on ytmnd as far as im concerned, it belongs on a site like ebaums where they post other people's jokes in a place for everyone to see (not a bash on ebaum, just stating what that site is). Ytmnd is supposed to be/used to be a site to make parodies of things like movies or internet fads that are creative, not stupid cartoons or radio show audio like this one. YTMND supports itself fine without people coming to see one site

THIS IS THE END OF DAYS

I dunno. I kind of feel like the "most-voted on" list more accurately reflects the true tastes of the ytmnd community.

I, for one, welcome our new telemarketer - pranking overlords.

waste of my life.

also, c*cks

I was waiting for the inevitable...also c*cks at the end. Nothing. 240 seconds of nothing.

NEDM

I had a dream about telemarketers last night

100k views a day is just over 1 view per second. This has to stop!

i love how were all sitting here debating about how to get rid of this ytmnd of the front page its like were the ytmnd council

Honestly I don't know what's worse, the nerd rage about the site or the junior high kid whining about the nerd rage about the site

jesus christ. SOUND THE ALARMS... December 21. MASSIVE F*GGOTRY APPROACHING!

Max should DELETE THE SITE COMPLETEY when it overtakes blue ball. (or reset the sites views to 0) The view rater on ytmnd.com should ONLY count ytmnd.com actual visits! None of this 'i gave the link out to tons of web sites' garbage. That just screws up the numbers! =D

Ther was no point to this YTMND.

DEAR GOD NO!!

I agree, people need to quit being idiots and face up to the reality that there is no way in hell that they can possibly stop HTPAT (How To Prank A Telemarketer). 20k+ links and 100k legitimate views a day cannot be stopped.

I totaly agree. "Prank a Telemarketer" was fun, but enough is enough.

I'll light a candle on my front porch and pray. But never the less, we should start stocking up and get ready to hide in our bomb shelters on Dec 21.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

well.... it was a good ride while it lasted. Goodbye my friends. Tell Sean Connery,...I love him.

I think this would've been funniest if it had ended with simply "Absolutely nothing". Maybe you could rework it so it does? Just throwing that out there.

There's plenty we could do... Kill jews, burn n*gg*rs, bomb mexico, bake cookies... You name it.

EVERYONE ON THIS PLANET NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS!

:(:( It's sad because you're right...

It's an inernet crisis! This was just silly. It Max really cares about the views he can always just hack the Total Views. I'm sure that would piss off a few people, but he wouldn't care.

I HAS A PLAN! STUMBLEUPON!

IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!

Here's an idea: make a bunch of duplicates of "how to prank a telemarketer." The original is less likely to garner hits if there are several duplicates with the same name, content, and keywords. You could even title one duplicate "how to prank a telemarketer, part 1" causing casual viewers to think they should view that one first, and therefore less likely to click on the original. YTMNDers could rally together and upvoite the dupes to get more exposure for them as well.

Excellent slideshow.

The site gets views because people bring attention to it. 4'd for outstanding presentation tho.

No.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

It's like eon8.. except we know what happens.. and nobody is really caring.

Geez...if the telemarketer site was stolen by eBaums everyone would have their panties in a bunch...oh...wait...

So? What difference does it make? Ill give you a couple of points for the original but well suited music!

OMG...

Someone needs to hack the user who created this, Sphonix, and delete this site. It is a great sacrifice but the only just one....For great justice!!

Downvoting raid?

Anyone NOT logged into YTMND clicking the link view an ad... then it re-directs after 5 seconds to the site. I don't hate it for getting a crazy amount of hits, I found YTMND after being linked to the emo song. It does help the site in getting more members, recognition, etc... maybe YTMND'll get bigger than eBaumsworld because of this! Then YTMND will rule teh internets, and also c*cks.

and then downvote the site.

wow...thats tight....

HACK HIS ACCOUNT AND DELETE THE SITE

I, for one, welcome our new telemarketing overlords.

ooook

dramatmnd

Increase the frame rate. And though I found the call to be funny the first time, it was just not a ytmnd. If it just showed a picture of a telemarketer or a fake crime scene along with funny text, then yeah, it would be a true ytmnd, but it's just a hosting of a call with a transcript. This is not a ytmnd.

On an related note, I'm surprised that the angry lady one (http://ytmnd.com/sites/profile/519998) which has just over 400,000 views hasn't suffered the same fate, probably because it follows standard PST. Hell, it even started a fad of it's own that just didn't reach the potential of other fads.

OH MY GOD THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE!

Oh wait, no it's not.

Delete the sh*t!

needs more nedm

Good, blue ball machine is the sh*ttiest ytmnd in existence.

I've watched How To Prank a Telemarketer for the first time around a month ago. It wasn't even the slightest bit funny at all. Also, 20,000 page links!? This YTMND is like a disease that you cannot see, cannot hear, but you can feel it's impact. This doesnt deserve to surpass Blue Ball Machine in any way possible. Fived, for great justice!

There will be another site to displace telemarketer in a few months, don't worry

I don't really care.

Does it matter? ITS BRINGING MORE PEOPLE TO YTMND! ITS A GOOD THING.

Also, let's look at the other Top Viewed ytmnds. Blue Ball Gif, guess what...STOLEN from SomethingAwful. Picard song STOLEN from DarkMateria. Emo Song STOLEN. All these users benefitted from someone else's oustanding work. All the blue ball gif guy did was add obvious music from Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Gee. All Sh*tty McSh*tt did was make a loop and add a pic of Picard. So lets not pretend that any of these other sites are any more worthwhile.

You can look at it from a lighter more upbeat perspective: http://teleprankfaceexpressions.ytmnd.com/

hey you forgot one thing. THE BLUE BALL MACHINE F*CKIN SUCKS!

You could take the site off permanently. Seems to have happened to a lot of other YTMNDs.

nice

THE END IS NEAR

nobody stopped batman from taking picard when they did the exact same thing... who f*cking cares...

epic music

That makes me a very sad panda.

what the hell was the point of that?

Since when are people putting "Blue Ball Machine" on a pedestal? That gif originated in SA, not ytmnd. Batman, Picard, and Safety Not Guaranteed all belong at the top though.

for the inevitable what? ytmnd being advertised and gaining extra members?

5 stars for great justice!

go to apple and get the icare

5'd for NEDM at the end. (wait a looooooooooooooong time for it to show up)

If Sphonix won't delete...delete Sphonix.

Needs NEDM.

n/m, NEDM :D

Awesome music, Bad ytmnd. This is the future of YTMND, Bad 'should-have-been flash movies" dominating the most viewed.

That site is the site with the most out of whack proportion of views to votes. It only has a thousand odd views, which most normal sites get, but it gets 100,000 views per day. Obviously those views aren't coming from YTMNDers.

k

good, screw blue ball machine... I hated that ytmnd.

You are a f*cking nerd. Nobody cares. Blue Ball gets 3,000 a day because its F*CKING OLD. As the prank gets older it's number of views will start shrinking too. Now that I've explained this VOTING PHENOMENON, you can get back to going the f*ck away, and taking your stupid with you.

Bullsh*t. The fact is, is that so many people think this sort of YTMND should be on eBaum'sWorld. Well, maybe eBaum'sWorld guys are google bombing this site to make a more Ebaum YTMND no.1... Also, c*cks

Oh noes! Not views! Heavens be! His site must be better than Blue Ball Machine because more people have looked at it. Let us all make the most of our remaining time. Judgement day is surely December 21, 2006. Or, just pat him on the back for successfully Googlebombing his way into YTMND infamy, and acknowledge that Blue Ball Machine, along with countless other YTMNDs that get less views than his, are all superior anyway.

Delete.

D31373 73H 5173

how about we just tell him to take his stupid *ss site down?

Do you know what kind of ad revenue this is pulling down for Max (when unregistered users recieve pop-ups)? I don't think it should be up there either but I don't want Max to not be able to pay the bill and we lose YTMND. Thoughts.

Where's teh funnee?

song is awesome

You do realize that if he is not viewhacking what kind of new users he is bringing to YTMND. It might be true that alot of them just look at it and leave but some of them do stay, so my standpoint on this is why complain when it is in fact contributing to YTMND?

This is serious sh*t...

who cares... more people comeing to ytmnd i find that a good thing

I f*cking HATE the telemarketeer ytmnd.

yeah that's f*cked up sh*t right there.

"I, for one, welcome our new telemarketer - pranking overlords." Thank you Mr.Brockman... It's the insanity that is the internets that causes such things as a mildly amusing site becoming the #1 site of all time. Countdown to one Billion hits?

There is one thing we CAN do... DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!

I hate seeing that f*cking site in the top viewed everyday. Also c*cks.

OH MY GOD!

lol.

AHH, dady a tellemarketer! squish it, squish it!!!

why do you care? so what if tons of people look it instead of blue ball machine. its getting people ot ytmnd and who REALY cares? its only funny once any way.

I'm just wondering if anything happens after "The only thing we can do is wait for the inevitable"..... it stays there for a LONG time

Give it some time and someone will come up with some sub-par YTMND/ flash/ piece of crap and it will gather attention from the mindless individuals that makes up the 99.98% of the 100,000. Yes, that's 99980. So which 20 YTMND-ers are viewing it? Good YTMND btw.

whoever created that monster should have the decency to delete it

Start gathering your supplies now. The Apocalypse is upon us.

In Soviet Russia, YTMND views you!

5 for truth.

goddamn telemarketer bs, it SUCKS!! Oh well, we all know blue balls are much better.

5'd for coolest music I've ever heard in my entire life. and yeah, I hate that site... first time it was funny, but now it's old.

This site is perfect, you get a 5 for remembering Stronghold alone.

All those who have down voted this site do not understand the foundations of ytmnd, original content. This ytmnd that has reached an unspeakable high number of views is a mere exerpt from a show, where as the blue ball machine was made. I think the blue ball machine presents a huge milestone in YTMND history, it should be remembered and should stay at the top of the list, a YTMND getting views through other websites linking it IMO is not as good as getting views through visiting ytmnd. I 5'd for truth....

WE'RE ALL F*CKED WE'RE ALL F*CKED THE WORLD IS GOING TO END! GODDAMNIT RUN FOR YOUR LIVES OMFGOMFGOMFG

As long as he isn't viewhacking, there's nothing we can do to stop him. The day of reckoning is almost upon us.

This music is actually from the original Stronghold. They recycled the music in the second game.

We must save the blue balls!

"This music is actually from the original Stronghold. They recycled the music in the second game." I know, they recycled a lot of the music. I just said Stronghold 2 since that's where I got the mp3 file.

Great Music.

can you really be surprised a site with broad appeal gets more views than sites that are more inside jokes? I mean i love NEDM and some other fads, but if you show it to people who don't frequent ytmnd they're not going to appreciate them the same way.

Whats so bad about how to prank a telemarketer becoming more popular than blue ball machine? Who cares? Who would seriously boycott YTMND over this? It has happenned... I've outgrown YTMND.

OH NOES! THE PERILS OF EXTERNAL INTERNET TRAFFIC!

Who the hell CARES if it's getting a ton of views? How does that affect your life?

dammit...some people already did "NOOOOOOOOO"...oh well. VIVA BLUE BALL MACHINE!!!!

serious business, lol... why does anyone even care? Also: lame, fail, and lacking in the NEDM department!

once in a while site like this comes along to reinforce my knowledge that ytmnd is a bunch of nerds

So what, I mean blue ball machine isn't the greatest thing in the world either. Don't take YTMND so seriously.

Informative and well made. +5

We're doomed. DOOMED!

commence viewhacks on blueball

BLUE BALL MACHINE 4 LIFE!

It's over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!

there is nothing inevitable here, although max cannot delete the site fairly because it is gaining its views legally, the author of "How to Prank a Telemarketer" could just delete the site. its his site and he can do whatever he wants with it. if we were to all kindly PM Shponix and ask him to kill the monster he has created, maybe he will do it. it would be in his best interest to do so before he becomes the most hated user onYTMND.

I'm scared

It has a double-edge really. You get more traffic for YTMND and thats good. On the downside,a lot of users would spam like sh*t.

DOWNVOTERS!!! ASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

You know what would be the best ever? If once it reaches top view the author replaces the image with goatse or something. Hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting people...

So it begins.

more views, less views. it doesn't make blue ball a lesser YTMND.

Original and well done. Prank a telemarketer => straight to the top :)

I agree the site sucks but who the f*ck cares if it passes the blue ball machine on views? YTMND is serious business.

Quality and informative but some frames get cut off on the top of the screen.

Nice dramatic music.

This is wayyyy better than that telemarketer prank

we need to boycot the creator to take it down before blue ball, if he is true to ytmnd like i am he would do for the sake of ytmnd and every use out there..... we can only hope and pray...... its in his hands now.

Voting it NWS would perhaps slightly reduce the external viewers, if it's that important and the mods won't do anything about it. It's really sh*tty that he'll have the top viewed site of all time without actually making its content, but then again neither did the maker of Blue Ball Machine.

this is epic on a whole new level :O

Also, horsedick

ugh, its up to rank 4 in top viewed now. everyone downvote his sites!

So what, don't get jealous, make a better one!

i had no idea.....

i hope it does pass up blueball

"Quality and informative but some frames get cut off on the top of the screen." hit "F11"

good research

Boring, the text goes too slow, and tells us nothing we don't already know.

Seriously. Delete that site, Max. Jesus.

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Hey, Stonghold 2 has a pretty nice sounding music score... Oh and nice site by the way.

WE R LOST ! NUUUUUUUUU runz for ya accountz "!

It is green.

I was expecting a blue ball machine that started off small and then got bigger as if it were approaching me.

Whatcan we do about it? Absolutely nothing. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :(

you're a real dick! I mean detective!

5'd. but i would've ended it after "absolutely nothing."

we gotta do something before it reaches batman in about 2 days

Lol @ Stronghold music.

Agreed :( The telemarketer prank isn't even all that great. Blue ball was a collaboration of people's work, not some (IMO) luke-warm prank call.

should have added nedm at the end

It gets almost exactly 100,000 views a day. That seems rather suspect even with him spamming the world with links, heh. *shrug*

I don't see the huge deal, both are kickass YTMNDs, and made to entertain. BTW, I haven't 5'd this masterpiece yet, here ya go. ^_^
