| | Melissa Theuriau This gal is a French newscaster and travel show host for LCI, the news channel for TF1. She's apparently considered a "hottie" by a number of Fark members and appears as a cliché whenever an news bulletin needs to be announced and Ric Romero is already busy. |
| | Memento Guy This is a publicity shot of Aussie actor Guy Pierce from the 2000 movie Memento. It's about a guy who suffers from chronic short-term memory loss and uses notes to himself and tattoos to hunt for the man he thinks killed his wife. This photo was selected by visitors in the first Cliché City candidate poll as a classic cliché. Thanks to Brian O'Blivion for the info. |
| | Ministry of Silly Walks This is from a 1970 Monty Python sketch. Funny guys. |
| Miss Georgia Contestant - See Who Farted? Girl | |
| | Mission Accomplished This publicity shot of President Bush with a banner behind him saying "Mission Accomplished" has become a Fark political cliché of minor proportions. Here's CNN's slant on the event where the photo was taken. Thanks to Procedural Texture for the suggestion. |
| Monkey - See Dynamite Monkey | |
| | Monument To Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston This statue of Britney Spears giving birth by artist Daniel Edwards was unveiled in late March of 2006 and almost immediately started appearing in Fark Photoshops. Update: The statue was declared NSFW on June 2, 2006 by the Fark mods. |
| Monty Python - See Ministry of Silly Walks or Holy Grail | |
| Morans - See Get a Brain! | |
| | Mosh Girl The "Mosh Girl" (or "Moshzilla") is known to frequently appear in Fark Photoshop contests. The girl's real name is Sam, and the picture was reportedly taken many years ago at a concert in San Diego. Moshzilla's parents threatened legal action against the proprietor of moshzilla.com in 2005, so it stands to reason that she does not enjoy her status as an Internet cliche. Special thanks to Farker luciphercolors for this info. |
| | Motivational Posters You see them everywhere. Human Resource departments seem to think that pretty posters will motivate people to work harder, exhibit team spirit, and strive towards other high ideals. Fark motivational posters usually don't aim quite as high. Clicking on the image will take you to despair.com for some samples of their work. Fark contest entries normally use the 'O' with an appropriate (or inappropriate) comment unless it's a theme. Thanks to beerdiva for the link. |
| | Movie Posters There are way too many movie posters that are used as clichés to be able to host them all here. Karate Kid is one of the more popular ones due to the goofy pose of the guy standing on the post in the background. For a wide selection of movie posters from all the way back to 1920, I suggest trying the Internet Movie Poster Awards site. |
| | Nelson Muntz Getting pleasure from the misfortunes of others goes hand in hand with some of the basic concepts surrounding Fark, so it stands to reason that Nelson Muntz, the dysfunctional delinquent from "The Simpsons," would be a cliché. Ha! Ha! Thanks to madcharlie for the suggestion. |
| | Muslim Bomb Jyllens Posten Denmark, a Danish newspaper, solicited cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed and generated a storm of protests from Muslims when they printed the submissions. The furor over the insult merely generated more publicity for the cartoons, all of which ended up on the Internet. This one by Kurt Westergaard has become a minor cliché on Fark. |
| | Mustard Guy This photo is pretty well documented on Wikipedia. The fellow in the photo is Mike 'Nug' Nahrgang, a Canadian comedian and a Fark member. The photo was taken during a TV sketch about a food fight. Nug appears as a Photoshop cliché fairly often. |
