The website, according to its first entry made by the organization Alexa Crawls, was registered during the fourth month of 2008 and at least existed since Monday, 21 April of that year; since that date, the Internet Archive technologies have registered 192 times the domain, being the last entry made on Friday, 21 January 2022, but the website was parked or removed a while after this previous register.

On April 21, 2008, the website consisted of two centered text boxes backed up by a bottom with repetitive patterns of a Brachiosaurus-like silhouette accompanied by two dark-colored hearts (each one on both sides of the creature), two pink-colored lightning bolts, and the onomatopoeia "rawr" (also pink-colored). With respect to the contents displayed on the text boxes, from the upper one to the downer one: We found the words Walk the Dinosaur that heads the main Macromedia Flash archive featured simply as dino.swf, a low-resolution animation of two dinosaurs having sex in the 69 positions, while the song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgiDcJi534Y Walk The Dinosaur] by Was (Not Was) plays (which is actually played in several movies like the Yabba-Dabba-disaster film ''[[wikipedia:The Flintstones (film)|The Flintstones]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs|Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs]]''). The text walkthedinosaur.com is displayed on the lower left side of the animation; in the second box, we found a list of another 5 shock sites created by the developer of LOLShock back then, headed by the caption "Other High Quality Sites".

AAAUGH!!!
Between these years, 20 snapshots were taken (omitting the first one), having some of them a slight change in the characterization of outer links. From Wednesday, June 4, 2008, to Friday, September 25, 2009, the website displayed the same contents described in the first part, with the distinctive feature of the insertion of the first announcement ("SITE NEWS: My buddy from college is a pervert and just started the YouTube of porn!" quoting directly part of the text disposed of, the site later identified as teentube4free.com) and the self-announcement of other contents created back then ("OR - YOU WANT MORE SHOCK?!? - LOLSHOCK Shock Sites! - The total list of shock sites!" quoting directly the content) on the downer text box. The caption "Other High Quality Sites" as well as the list of initial shock sites was suppressed, and the text box border has been duplicated.

'''What's Wrong With This Picture?''', also called '''What's Wrong?''' or '''What's wrong with this image?''' is an infamous internet [[screamer]] created by Jaybill McCarthy, originally posted to his personal website "Jaybill" in February 2002.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020815165932/http://www.jaybill.com/article.php?articleID=66</ref>  Many copies have since appeared on the internet, and is an example of an early e-mail chain-letter prank.
===2009-2010 history ===
==Content==
Between Wednesday, November 25, 2009, and Thursday, May 27, 2010, 17 snapshots with the same integrity of contents were taken by Alexa Crawlers.
The animation disguises itself as a normal stock photo of a dining room; depicting an open window, table, chairs, paintings, and flowers. The viewer is then asked to find something wrong with it, however, there are no actual errors in the picture itself. After about 30 seconds the screen cuts to a grainy black and white closeup of an eyeless woman with a wide mouth putting her hands around the sides of her face with her pinky fingers raised, accompanied by audio of Mrs. Mae Kilgore (from the 1957 film ''[[wikipedia:From Hell It Came|From Hell It Came]]'', played by [[wikipedia:Linda Watkins|Linda Watkins]]) screaming, albeit muffled, distorted and echoing. The animation repeats afterward,
 
As well as the previous content revisions did during part of 2008 and 2009, walkthedinosaur.com didn't present notable changes at all, but in this time interval, another advertising space was added in the inner part of the webpage (separated from the main text boxes), publicizing the currently active dating website Fling.com. Little pop-up windows generated by the advertising contents for Fling.com were also added, simulating a notification from old messenger services.
 
=== 2010 changes history ===
Unlike the last three parts, in 2010, a few less-important changes were made to the website, with the total conservation of the main elements (e.g. the original dino.swf archive and the referential bottom patterns shown since the first entry), the suppression of the advertising tools used for Fling.com and the short-time addition of advertising space on the downer part of the general text box (sharing space with the teentube4free.com advert), used for the currently extinct link generator HTSTI.com (quoting the heading text: "How To Answer Noob Questions (Very Lulz)"). There are 4 snapshots that registered these changes, developed between Friday, June 11, and Thursday, July 22, 2010, being the first capture that kept the website's original esthetics after 2008.


The [[screamer]] face itself originates from gettyimages,<ref>https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/photo/young-woman-screaming-close-up-royalty-free-image/BD4381-001</ref> and was created by photographer 'Gandee Vasan' in 1998 as a stock photo inspired by ''The Scream'' painting by Edvard Munch.  This stock image was also used (albeit heavily edited) for the cover of the 2001 film "Maniacts."
=== 2011 changes history ===
Between Wednesday, February 2, and Monday, December 5, 2011, 16 snapshots with almost the same integrity of contents were taken by Alexa Crawlers.


Jaybill himself is the one who doctored the stock photo into its now ''infamous'' form we know today, starting with this screamer and then the ones succeeding it.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020716184225/http://www.jaybill.com/article.php?articleID=57</ref>
As well as the previous content revisions have done during part of 2008 and 2009, there were changes to self-advertising announcements for LOLShock and outer contents. According to the entry made on Wednesday, February 2, walkthedinosaur.com was still using the same interface (same background patterns, same text boxes distribution, the usage of dino.swf, disposal of the advertising space and self-announcement space for other LOLShock creations), having the downer textbox (tighten up with an inner box and an outer box) a hierarchic-like structure, using an inner box to contain advertising content for the currently defunct websites babesfree.org and in.teenxxxmag.com, used in replacement of former teentube4free.com adverts (keeping the same structure) and for the quoted self-announcement text. The outer box was used to contain the HTSTI.com advert. Below the rectangular space used to dispose of the main Flash animation in the upper box, a Facebook sharing button (an unregistered outer function on [[Wayback Machine]]) and another Facebook plugin (with incomplete elements turning invisible for the browser) were inserted to diffuse the mentioned website.


==Impact==
During the next 15 entries done between Wednesday, June 15, and Monday, December 5, some less-important changes were made, changing the advertising contents but keeping the original inner elements of the website. The two-part general textbox was suppressed, using only one space that contains the next mentioned elements (listed from top to bottom): A box used for the currently active adult ad network JuicyAds (juicyads.com), the original dino.swf, Facebook sharing plugins (adding a Twitter plugin on the last two 2011 entries) and another self-announcement text used for LOLShock in replacement of the former one, simply featured as "Go here for more -->SHOCK SITES". On the other hand, a separate paragraph that announces the mentioned babesfree.org and in.teenxxxmag.com displays at the bottom of the site, changing the structure of the former advertising text: "HELP: My buddy from college has started a free Porn Youtube site!", quoting directly part of the text disposed of. At the top of the site, another advertising space is disposed of for JuicyAds.
{{See Also|Reaction videos}}
The animation has been reuploaded on multiple websites including [[YouTube]], where it has gained many views. The screamer has also been featured on ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]'' (used there as a substitute screamer in place of Regan MacNeil in [[The Maze]]) numerous times. Screamers of this kind became more and more popular as they began to circulate on the Internet. A few more examples of this are [[What's wrong with this picture?]], [[Zoeken]], [[Forest-wmv]] and [[Basement Ghost]].


The screamer gained so much traction in its day, that it actually managed to land a spot in the New York Times on April 22, 2002. The article hosts a small interview with Jaybill, who describes both his website and the screamer which was made "exclusively for the purpose of scaring my girlfriend''."''<ref>"[https://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/22/business/compressed-data-why-is-this-room-so-popular-shh-you-re-about-to-find-out.html?searchResultPosition=1]"</ref>
=== 2012 entries history ===
 
Interestingly enough, the very *first* screamer [[reaction video]] on the internet may have originated alongside this screamer. In mid-2002, Jaybill posted an article on his website in regards to a video sent to him from a subject reacting to this screamer.  The subject/victim of the video is named "Jose."<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020609151218/http://jaybill.com/article.php?articleID=94</ref>

Content Warning!
The following work contains content and material that some may find shocking. Reader discretion is advised.

Walk the Dinosaur was a shock site created and hosted by LOLShock, available from April 2008 until the first half of 2022. This one, alongside the complete series created by LOLShock during its existence, has been parked ending with almost 14 years of service.

History

The website, according to its first entry made by the organization Alexa Crawls, was registered during the fourth month of 2008 and at least existed since Monday, 21 April of that year; since that date, the Internet Archive technologies have registered 192 times the domain, being the last entry made on Friday, 21 January 2022, but the website was parked or removed a while after this previous register.

2008 history

On April 21, 2008, the website consisted of two centered text boxes backed up by a bottom with repetitive patterns of a Brachiosaurus-like silhouette accompanied by two dark-colored hearts (each one on both sides of the creature), two pink-colored lightning bolts, and the onomatopoeia "rawr" (also pink-colored). With respect to the contents displayed on the text boxes, from the upper one to the downer one: We found the words Walk the Dinosaur that heads the main Macromedia Flash archive featured simply as dino.swf, a low-resolution animation of two dinosaurs having sex in the 69 positions, while the song Walk The Dinosaur by Was (Not Was) plays (which is actually played in several movies like the Yabba-Dabba-disaster film The Flintstones and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs). The text walkthedinosaur.com is displayed on the lower left side of the animation; in the second box, we found a list of another 5 shock sites created by the developer of LOLShock back then, headed by the caption "Other High Quality Sites".

2008-2009 history

Between these years, 20 snapshots were taken (omitting the first one), having some of them a slight change in the characterization of outer links. From Wednesday, June 4, 2008, to Friday, September 25, 2009, the website displayed the same contents described in the first part, with the distinctive feature of the insertion of the first announcement ("SITE NEWS: My buddy from college is a pervert and just started the YouTube of porn!" quoting directly part of the text disposed of, the site later identified as teentube4free.com) and the self-announcement of other contents created back then ("OR - YOU WANT MORE SHOCK?!? - LOLSHOCK Shock Sites! - The total list of shock sites!" quoting directly the content) on the downer text box. The caption "Other High Quality Sites" as well as the list of initial shock sites was suppressed, and the text box border has been duplicated.

2009-2010 history

Between Wednesday, November 25, 2009, and Thursday, May 27, 2010, 17 snapshots with the same integrity of contents were taken by Alexa Crawlers.

As well as the previous content revisions did during part of 2008 and 2009, walkthedinosaur.com didn't present notable changes at all, but in this time interval, another advertising space was added in the inner part of the webpage (separated from the main text boxes), publicizing the currently active dating website Fling.com. Little pop-up windows generated by the advertising contents for Fling.com were also added, simulating a notification from old messenger services.

2010 changes history

Unlike the last three parts, in 2010, a few less-important changes were made to the website, with the total conservation of the main elements (e.g. the original dino.swf archive and the referential bottom patterns shown since the first entry), the suppression of the advertising tools used for Fling.com and the short-time addition of advertising space on the downer part of the general text box (sharing space with the teentube4free.com advert), used for the currently extinct link generator HTSTI.com (quoting the heading text: "How To Answer Noob Questions (Very Lulz)"). There are 4 snapshots that registered these changes, developed between Friday, June 11, and Thursday, July 22, 2010, being the first capture that kept the website's original esthetics after 2008.

2011 changes history

Between Wednesday, February 2, and Monday, December 5, 2011, 16 snapshots with almost the same integrity of contents were taken by Alexa Crawlers.

As well as the previous content revisions have done during part of 2008 and 2009, there were changes to self-advertising announcements for LOLShock and outer contents. According to the entry made on Wednesday, February 2, walkthedinosaur.com was still using the same interface (same background patterns, same text boxes distribution, the usage of dino.swf, disposal of the advertising space and self-announcement space for other LOLShock creations), having the downer textbox (tighten up with an inner box and an outer box) a hierarchic-like structure, using an inner box to contain advertising content for the currently defunct websites babesfree.org and in.teenxxxmag.com, used in replacement of former teentube4free.com adverts (keeping the same structure) and for the quoted self-announcement text. The outer box was used to contain the HTSTI.com advert. Below the rectangular space used to dispose of the main Flash animation in the upper box, a Facebook sharing button (an unregistered outer function on Wayback Machine) and another Facebook plugin (with incomplete elements turning invisible for the browser) were inserted to diffuse the mentioned website.

During the next 15 entries done between Wednesday, June 15, and Monday, December 5, some less-important changes were made, changing the advertising contents but keeping the original inner elements of the website. The two-part general textbox was suppressed, using only one space that contains the next mentioned elements (listed from top to bottom): A box used for the currently active adult ad network JuicyAds (juicyads.com), the original dino.swf, Facebook sharing plugins (adding a Twitter plugin on the last two 2011 entries) and another self-announcement text used for LOLShock in replacement of the former one, simply featured as "Go here for more -->SHOCK SITES". On the other hand, a separate paragraph that announces the mentioned babesfree.org and in.teenxxxmag.com displays at the bottom of the site, changing the structure of the former advertising text: "HELP: My buddy from college has started a free Porn Youtube site!", quoting directly part of the text disposed of. At the top of the site, another advertising space is disposed of for JuicyAds.
