About
Today Is The Day Marty McFly Arrives When He Travels To The Future, often abbreviated as Back To The Future Day, is an internet hoax used in online trolling to make people believe that incorrect dates match up to the date the main character of the Back to the Future franchise, Marty McFly, travels to in the second installment of the films.
Origin
Back to the Future Part II[1] is a science fiction comedy film first released on November 22nd, 1989, and is the second installment of the Back to the Future trilogy. In the film, Doctor Emmett Brown and Marty McFly travel from October 21st in the year 1985, to the same date in the year 2015. As was expected, the 30 years have changed the town Marty lived in a lot, now containing various types of highly advanced technology such as hoverboards.
Spread
The highly advanced future as described in the film has become a common milestone expectation of internet users as the actual date grew closer, commonly resulting in assumptions on whether or not the technology used in the film will be available before the actual date of October 21st, 2015, and demanding science to hurry up. Mainly the hoverboards used in the film have become a common target of demand, with image macros being found on various image sharing blogs and websites such as Cheezburger,[2] WeKnowMemes,[3] Memerial[4] and Funny Wall Photos.[5]
On June 28th, 2012, the single-serving websiteistodaythedaymartymcflyarriveswhenhetravelstothefuture.com[6] was launched by blogger Richard Haderer, which only shows the message “NO!” in large capital letters as an answer to the question presented if today is the day Marty McFly arrives (shown below). As of April 12th, 2013, the site has received more than 5,000 Facebook likes and 600 Tweets. The single serving site itsbacktothefutureday.com,[7] created on June 28th, 2012, by blogger Erik Rasmussen, contains a generator which allows you to create a Back to the Future day image for any date possible.
