openChildhood Trauma Video. Web Original
Looking for a childhood trauma video that mentions the cabbage monster episode of 'Adventures of Piggley Winks', don't remember the name of the channel but it's a fairly recent video from maybe last year.
openWelcome Home Fan Animatic Web Original
Okay, I got a random one for you guys:
So, there's this fan animatic I'm looking for based on the Welcome Home ARG. In this case, the animatic is an argument between Wally and Barnaby using audio from Neon Genesis Evangelion, specifically the elevator scene where some girl calls a humanoid robot an emotionless wind-up doll. In the animatic, Barnaby is yelling at Wally, Wally gets upset and runs to Home for comfort.
I thought this was part of the Greyscale Wally AU by Your Resident Bee on Tumblr, but I couldn't find it, so I'm thinking it might not have been them or they deleted it. I'm not sure.
Yes, this is weird. This is just what happens when you spend a lot of time on the web. You find weird stuff.
openSubverted Kids' Show relying on heavy toilet humor Web Original
When I was little, I vividly remember watching a very bizarre animated web series on YouTube. It was pretty short, and there were about two or three of these animations that I saw. These animations were made at least before 2012, and are definitely either from the 2000s or the 2010s. They're all in 2D, and I recall the series having a lineless art style. They were most likely reuploads/reposts of Flash animations, because I also recall there being an intro at the beginning featuring the company name along with their website, which hosted these animations and other content (I recall frogs having something to do with the website's branding and name); the intro featured the logo and the protagonist reading it out loud with some tagline attached to it. I remember the name of the series being something along the lines of Potty Time, but when I look up the name on YouTube, I find a bunch of irrelevant stuff. The series was some kind of Subverted Kids' Show combined with Toilet Humor, and could definitely qualify as What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?. As for what the videos were about, this is what I could remember off the top of my head:
The first video had pretty crunchy audio quality (most of the videos did too, probably because they were most likely animated in Flash). Its protagonist was a young girl with pale skin and short black hair. She was wearing pajamas (purple ones, I think) and was standing in a bathroom, facing the audience. The bathroom was green if I recall. She then talks to the audience about something, and then she would go sit and pee in the toilet with her pajamas on for some reason. After she finishes using the toilet, the toilet comes to life and gets angry at her, and that's where the video ends.
The second video was a sequel to the first video; the protagonist appears again here and most of the events from before are repeated here, and I think she was dressed up as a princess? It was probably some kind of Halloween animation, and this one was even shorter; she talks about pooping or something and then just as she is about to use the toilet, the toilet comes to life once again and cusses her out, and that's where the animation ends.
If anyone here knows what this webseries was called and if they've also seen these videos, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Edited by kosquaredopen[SOMEWHAT SOLVED] Skylanders Animation with the tortured mass of flesh. Web Original
As a child, I remember seeing a Skylanders Swap Force animation on You Tube. It is a parody that was based on crude humor.
The scene that I remember was when a child placed his hand on the portal along with half of a Wash Buckler toy.
He is transported into the game and turns into a massive tumor like creature. His "catchphrase" is screaming and shitting himself.
As soon as he enters the skylands he says "KILL ME. WITH FIRE!!!!!".

I remember what I think one of Schaffrillas Productions' ranking videos where he says he kind of likes the idea of a spoiled brat character "but on the other hand, he's a spoiled brat".
open[SOLVED] Analog horror about nuclear war and fallout Web Original
The video was similar to a regular PSA about nuclear bombs and such, but it was somewhat stylized. It had a pinkish, 1950s-1970s-esque filter over the video. The sections of information had numbers in one of the corners, and some of the segments were missing. Near the end of the video, it shows a fallout shelter with a crack in the corner and radioactive particles that look like stock image germs seeping in from the crack, and eventually making their way into the shelter. At the end, it says something like "There are no winners in a nuclear war" or something like that.
I tried looking up 'nuclear war analog horror' on Youtube, but I couldn't find the specific video. Perhaps it got deleted
Edited by mitzioletopenYoutube series about bunch of people trapped in rooms Web Original
I remember this series through a You Tube video on it, but I've forgotten the title of both the video and the series. So basically, it was a bunch of people, trapped in different rooms with different activities in there as a part of a reality show, or social experiment or something. One of the characters had access to a phone that could communicate with different rooms, but only one at a time and with the light on the phone line being lit up. The guy keeps communicating with the different rooms, until he reaches one where the item in that room...was a noose. I don't remember either the original series or the video I learned about it from, but if you have the identity of either, it is much appreciated.
openFictional Kids Meal Broadcast Incident Web Original
I remember watching a video online a few years back that I cant seem to find. It's about a broadcast incident that caused a picture of a kids meal from a fast food place to be shown for about a month (maybe more, but I remember it being a long time in universe). Near the end of the video, this creature that's all red, stands on it's hind legs, has a head like a dog, legs like a velociraptor, and a long tail walks into frame and takes a bite out of a burger that was on display, only for another one of it to emerge from it before the video cuts away. I think it was covered by somebody who styles their videos like blameitonjorge or Nick Crowley. Any help?
openArticle about chinese/korean pay to win game Web Original
A few years ago I read an article telling the story of a woman who signed up for a heavily monetized game, the thing is I cannot remember the name of the game but I do remember the rest of its title: Gambling your life away in (game).
In the article, the woman tells the story about how she started as a low level character and once she got lucky by landing the last hit on a high level military dude making her the queen of her realm. After this she got tired of how the game encouraged PVP at every opportunity to see who would spend more money and finally she quit the game.
Edited by NaspahopenNo Title Web Original
I am looking for a very specific old youtube video with Tensou Sentai Goseiger (so at least 13 years old at most) that show a montage of the show's mech up to Hyper Gosei Great with only music in the video. I know it probably is deleted long ago since it is that long ago, but I wanted to see if it's still up or not.

openTwo early 2010s Minecraft series Web Original
This is a bit different from most of these, but i recall two of the first Minecraft series i watched somewhat, and i may me mixing up some details between the two, so i'm combining these into one comment.
I watched was a You Tube series by a family, the son had the channel but his sister and dad were playing with him. I remember them joking about "hat trees" and talking about their mom making food or something, and i remember them building a house. I think this was pre-hunger bars, so likely early 2010s. I watched this in 2016 or so, and when i opened the channel, the featured video was a Minecraft video related to an anime series, maybe a map taking place in a school? The second series i remember was by a guy playing hour+ long episodes on a singleplayer series. I remember the videos having a facecam in the corner. He spawned on an island and had a "trusty diamond hoe", but it later broke. He had a larger house than he thought he needed ((as at that time, most houses were just item storage, furnaces, and a crafting table)), i think he had a mine in his house, and later in the series he boated out to another island to bring a sheep(?) over to his island. I think his channel name was something related to a crocodile/alligator.
That's all i've got at the moment, i'll update this if anything else comes to mind.
Edited by Sharkthe-catopenslasher movie villain's murder spree is derailed by accusation of racism. Web Original
The more I try to remember this, the more I think I either dreamed it or conflated a couple of skits I saw online. If it is real, I am leaning more towards a self-contained web video skit because I can't imagine it happening in an actual horror movie, maybe not even a Scary Movie type spoof. Anyway, it starts out like a normal slasher movie scene with the killer coming after someone, but the victim points out some way in which the killer's motives/actions seem racist. This keeps happening as he tries to kill other characters, maybe to the point where nobody in the scene dies because the killer is too busy trying to explain he's not racist/sexist/etc. This sounds like a Political Correctness Gone Mad thing, but I remember the humor being more directed at the idea that even a slasher movie villain wouldn't want to seem racist.
openOnline video about how using the toilet can kill? Web Original
A video on (as far as I can remember) the children's section of some publishing company like Simon and Schuster. I never actually watched the video in question (I was too scared to as a kid), but I remember that the thumbnail featured a puppet of some sort (I believe it was a chicken, but I'm not entirely sure) and that the video was titled something along the lines of "using the toilet can kill" or "your bathroom can kill you". I was recently reminded of the video's existence and wanted to see if I could find it and finally watch it.
openA piranha plant as a main character Web Original
It is an animation in youtube and with a TV Trope space.
If i remember correctly a Mario Bros animation with a piranha plant who was raised in the mushroom kingdom who later grow up with a design very similar to Petey Piranha but with clothes.
openAnime intro recreated with windows xp sounds Web Original
I remember seeing a video of an anime opening recreated with Windows XP sound effects, but I forgot both the name of the anime and the video.
openOnline Cartoon Short - two animals (mice?) being rude Web Original
I remember a series of funny online cartoon shorts from circa 2009-2011 that focused on two animals (two mice: one small and one bigger) who were 'rude' (in the sense of NSFW language and degrading to each other). It wasn't Pinky and the Brain or anything else mainstream. It could have been a standalone show based just on these two, or part of a wider show that also had different characters. Production quality was relatively high and I seem to remember Australian accents for some reason.
I remember two episodes specifically where things take a turn for the worse: one where they are in a living room and it gets trashed, and the other where they are in a car (maybe a driving lesson or something like that?) and that also doesn't go so well for them.
I have searched for years (albeit sporadically) but return no results. Would love to solve this mystery!
I remember seeing this video, where I don't remember if it was an animation or live-action, where real-life footballers show that they are imperfect, and thus are replaced by perfect clones. Football becomes boring, but one man (I think it was Ronaldo) reunites the players to beat them.
