| | Dewey Beats Truman This photo of President Harry S. Truman holding up an election day edition of the Chicago Daily Tribune is often used to display silly newspaper headlines. The paper mistakenly announced Thomas Dewey the winner, but the election was actually a landslide victory for Truman. . Photo was taken by Byron Rollins in St. Louis, MO on November 4, 1948 |
| | Disaster Girl This image of a girl named Zoe started appearing on various web forums and photo sharing sites in 2007, eventually finding its way to Fark. The Photoshoppers took a shine to her mischievous expression, and the meme of placing her near the scene of various accidents and atrocities became known as "Disaster Girl". You can read more about this picture's origin at the photographers's blog. |

| | Dolphin Girl I submitted this gal riding a brass dolphin for a contest in March 2006. I ran across the picture in this Photobucket gallery. Update: No info on the girl, but the photo was taken at 320 Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, CA. The "Blazing Saddles" poster in the background refers to a bicycle rental shop there. Thanks to siberian for doing the detective work on this one. |
| | Domo-Kun According to Wikipedia, Domo-kun is the mascot of Japan's NHK television station. The name derives from "Domo Konnichiwa" which roughly translates as "Hello indeed!" Domo-kun appears whenever some sort of threat is implied. It was featured most prominently in a Photoshop about God killing kittens when you masturbate. In 2008, Domo-kun was licensed to the discount retail chain Target for use in their Halloween promotions. |

| | Drunk Czech Girl This gal was an 'O' in this Fark Photoshop contest in September 2004, some of the Farkers referred to her as "Olga," but I don't think the name actually stuck. She is also sometimes referred to as a Russian. No further info available, e-mail me if you know anything more about this chick...not that I'm actually interested in her or anything. |
| | Dynamite Monkey No list of Fark clichés could be complete without Random McEric's classic Dynamite Monkey. It was the winner of this photoshop contest way back in 2003, probably one of the most imitated `shops of all time, and one of the highest voted. The original has disappeared, but was saved for posterity by numerous members of the Fark community. Dynamite monkeys are still occasionally referred to even now. Thanks to Brian O'Blivion for the suggestion. |
