openPokemon Fan Thing Made With Plush Dolls Web Original
Many years ago, on You Tube, there was this ongoing series that was called something like "Adventures of the Pokemon" or something. It had terrible production quality (literally being footage of plush dolls) but it was freaking hilarious. A few characters and gags included a Lugia with a pet rock, best friends Pikachu and Charmander, two other Pikachus (one with a bow and one with a scarf,) a Mew with a hypnotizing doo-dad, a Mewtwo with a split personality where one half was normal and the other was a hypnosis-induced moron who was literally "the dumbest person in the world," a Lucario who thought he was Spiderman (and who was hypnotized to think he was his son Riolu, and vice versa, and a Turtwig who was the mayor. I remember it being made by a speedpainter and I think s/he was called Eevee 2 Espeon, but You Tube's search function is terribad.
resolved Fake College Commercial Web Original
I'm trying to find a short (less than three minutes) video that is a parody of college commercials. I'm guessing it was uploaded between 2006 - 2012. In the commercial, some teenagers (likely high school students) point out the "best" features of their college, like the substandard campus food, aged teacher population, lack of space in requirement classes, etc.
The one quote I can clearly remember is a student exclaiming over their campus aesthetic, claiming "All our buildings were constructed in the 1970's - an architectural dark age!!!"
I've tried searching You Tube for "fake college commercial" and "college commercial parody" and the like, but couldn't find what I was looking for. Any suggestions?
open"Charlie Bit My Finger" parody Web Original
I remember when I was 5 or 6 I watched a parody of the "Charlie Bit My Finger" video on YouTube. The video was an animated clip of two red devils on a green background, and one bit the other's finger. This kept going, and I remember that at one point when the devil's finger got bitten, the camera zoomed into the devil's mouth as he screamed. The animation was crude and I think the audio was poor. I remember the title being "Charlie bit my finger again" or "Charlie bit my finger 2", but I don't see the video when I search for it. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
Edited by RashandFierceopenWeird YTPs Web Original
While looking for Wallace and Gromit You Tube Poops one evening, I came across this strange seizure-inducing video that features Wallace and Gromit, among other sources. The channel that made the video made some similar ones, but with a different main source. There would always be a short YTPMV of some song in each of the videos. It was the same song each time. Anyone remember these?
openJerkass Undead Drummer? Web Original
A video on You Tube about someone looking for a drummer for a project, only for an undead guy to show up. He served as the Harmless Villain for the video. He didn't do anything evil, per se, but he did suck as a drummer and did things that pissed the main character off. His antics would be accompanied by text telling him what not to do. ("Not supposed to be looking at swimsuit calendars", "Not supposed to be sleeping", "Not supposed to be crying", etc.) This eventually culminates into him quitting the project (Although the main character probably had some say in that...) and being replaced by a drummer who is actually competent as a drummer and not a Jerkass.
openYouTube Poop where Thomas the Tank Engine mistook a dalmatian for a cow Web Original
Does anyone else remember seeing a video like this where the following conversation happens? Thomas:Look! She's got a cow! Dalmatian:Moo! I'd really like to find this, so please help if possible.
openDiscworld Fanfiction Web Original
I'm looking for a particular Discworld fanfic where Vimes is asked to kneel in front of the throne in order to impress a visiting dignitary. He eventually responds by driving a sword into the floor while kneeling, which impresses the visitor, but everybody who knows him gets a very vivid picture of what Vimes really meant.
openGuy Destroys Random Stuff Web Original
I remember this person on You Tube that made a bajillion videos of him destroying stuff in what looked like his basement. Most of the time, the objects he destroyed were kids toys. To be clear, this is NOT Shawn K. In one video, he runs over an Elmo toy with an orange lawnmower. In another video, he destroys a dryer(washer?) by putting a whole bunch of nuts, bolts, and metal bits into it until it couldn't hold the weight. He makes personal videos, too. One was on 2012, the supposed "end of the world." Anyone remember who this was?
openChrono Trigger fanfiction Web Original
Here's a deep pull. A circa 1997-1998 or so Chrono Trigger fanfic. Details I remember: there's some kind of war involving Guardia in 1000 AD with a naval assault and guns. Magus somehow gets a version of the Epoch that is able to go to exact specific points in time as opposed to traveling to years (i.e. old version runs on San Dimas Time, new version doesn't). On the site I first found it on, there was some weirdness about its presentation in the first few chapters. One chapter was a mailto link with the entire text in the subject line.
openTitle and singer of an Epic Meal Time Song Web Original
I trying to find out the title and singer of this song that used to be played in Epic Meal Time. Here's an example of the song from the Epic Meal Time game. https://youtu.be/qyx-isArXtA
openWhere's the rest of Cranes? Web Original
I know exactly what I'm looking for, the rest of a brilliant Young Justice fanfic on Live Journal (It also has a page here) the links here though only show it up the 100th part and the link to fanfiction goes no where making me think it's sadly been deleted there. It's a really good story and the indications from the author where they still had miles of story to go. Does anyone know if there was ever more written or has it sadly been abandoned?
openRomeo and Juliet Web Original
I distinctly remember coming across a page for this modern version of Romeo and Juliet, as told through social media platforms such as twitter and the like. I think that the project was headed by the Royal Shakespeare company, and probably similar in style to The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Can anyone help me out here?
openBackwards black-and-white short film Web Original
There was some B&W short film (I feel like it was College Humor or Funny Or Die or one of those, but when they were just getting started, maybe like 2004ish?) that was shown in reverse involving an old man destroying his apartment (backwards) and the punchline that started it all was a note about someone leaving him and "taking the chicken". Please help! I've been searching for this thing for years.
Edited by WAYFanopenWeird Remix of "Ain't Nobody Got Time for That" Web Original
This was a video on You Tube, and no, it's not the one everyone knows. This one starts off with Sweet Brown talking about her experience as usual, but with the beginning of Firestarter by The Prodigy is playing in the background. As soon as she says "Ain't nobody got time for that!", the song IMMEDIATELY switches to this soft techno sort of thing, and there are now visuals of a burning building, flying fire extinguishers, and exploding soda cans. Later, Sweet Brown returns and says "pop," but echoed. A little warning before looking for this, I have looked for the past 30 minutes and found nothing but copies of the original remix. Good luck.
P.S. It's not this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c-sdsrYaqK8
Edited by GitarooHeroopenGag fandub of "Sonic Says" clip Web Original
It was a Gag Dub, not a YouTube Poop. It was based on the "say no to strangers" Sonic Says scene (the one where Scratch and Grounder in Groucho glasses try to abduct Tails), and the final scene haves Sonic wearing the Groucho glasses saying "I'm the Phantom of Opera!"
openLooking for Web Animation based on Webcomic Web Original
So there's this Web Animation, which is based on a bunch of comics someone found on the net. I don't remember much about it, except that it was super weird and animesque. It was described as a Widget series here on TV Tropes. Does anyone know what this is?
Anyone? Anyone?

openMagic trick site Web Original
Many years ago (sometime in the mid-late 2000s) there was a website made as sort of a magic trick. It supposedly answered questions that you asked it while typing in a particular phrase. The trick was that if you used a particular key combination, the next thing you typed would be the answer the site gave to the question (but would appear as something else on screen), so the site would work if you demonstrated it to others but wouldn't work if they tried it themselves.
I can remember a lot about this piece of work but I'm unsure about the shows name, characters names or it was a internet only animation. The main characters are a nervous living boy and a snarky girl zombie and she has pet I think it was a cat. In the first episode the Boy moves to the the town the series takes place in and over the course of the first episode comes to realize the town is infested with zombies. He barricades the house his parents utterly oblivious to the zombies. The zombies break in and leave a nice welcome fruit basket at the end we see the girl zombie moving around slowly and she beaks character telling him that she'll see him around. He goes to the window after she leaves and scares him. Second episode had to do with the father calling the house about something. He gets dragged off by his Zombie co workers for some unknown reason the boy panics and asks his new friend the zombie girl to help him make it across town to save his dad. After going through the zombie infested town and being chased by zombie bikers I think. The duo arrive at the dad's work place and discover he had been dragged off to fix the coffee machine. Third episode I didn't finish. It starts off with the boy running from some class mate zombies because he wore a t-shirt with "Get a Life" on it to school. He falls into a grave and gets mistaken by the classmates as being a zombie. They invite him to a party which he accepts. His friend however tells him he should drop the act and not go. I didn't see the rest of the episode. The series wasn't really long but remember it being very good quality. It was in a more western style animation. The zombies for the most part seemed to act like slower zombies groaning and shuffling along yet besides a few never act aggressive against the boy and his family. The boy seems to be the only one to recognize the zombies for what they are while his mom and dad seem oblivious that their neighbors and coworkers are zombies.
