I think this was an animated film, it involved some animals that live under a tree or something and then their little animal village is gassed or something and one of their friends gets sick saving their parents and the other animals have to go looking for a cure, pretty sure one of the characters was a badger and there was a scene with diggers at one point though I could be mistaken, saw it when I was very young (so during the 90's) could have been released before then.

This is a commercial from circa 1993. The product that is being advertised is a laxative medicine called Senokot. Another detail that I remember is that the commercial used the song "I Feel Good (I Knew That I Would)" in it. Could you help me find any information/videos for the commercial?

Show that used to be shown in India in the mid-90s. Featured as prominent characters several balls in space. They had different personalities and were launched off the spaceship from time to time. One of the balls used to yell "Geronimo" upon launch.
I've been trying to find this for many years now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Anand
openNo Title Webcomic
I recall a fantasy webcomic, pretty much a standard fantasy setting. The part that sticks out in my mind the most is a female elf travelling with a human male. At one point they had sex, put the elf is upset about, wishes it never happened, and made the human forget with magic. after he finds out what had happened, he is very upset and feels he has been raped, while she doesn't seem to see anything wrong with her actions. I know there was more to the story than this, but I can't seem to remember it.

I can't find a delete button so disregard this. It's Final Fantasy Legend 3', on the gameboy if anyone was wondering. found it right after I posted this.
An old (16-bit?) video game, possibly the SNES, existed about 10-12 years back. The plot was kind of like the SNES F Fs and it was definatly a RPG: the world is slowly flooding from some kind of portally thing, and characters can be 'fed' items mosters sometimes drop to turn into thing like the monsters, with abilities. Kind of like Gau's Rages from FF 6, but for everyone. You start on a smallish island, and travel off it is via a 'float' spell, which unlike in FF, summons a floating rock which you ride.

On So Bad It's Horrible, there is an entry with no link. Can someone find an upload of it?
- A group of ads for Hot Pockets (which is thankfully, now long-gone) depicted people eating a Hot Pocket on the street and being subjected to the same kinds of discrimination and abuse that American minorities suffered from prior to and during the Civil Rights Movement - all because they were eating the advertised product without using a plate. So if someone eats these Hot Pockets in public, people will harass them both physically and verbally and write threatening messages on their houses with a caulking gun?

It's a sitcom shown on YTV in the early 2000s. Your average sitcom family/plots, except that they also live with a Egyptian pharaoh/mummy (forgot which). If I remember correctly, people had British accents.

There's this scene, and it's been bugging me what it's from. In the scene, there is a guy looking in the mirror, wearing a mask. He takes off the mask but you don't see what's underneath and then he yells and smashes the mirror with the mask and... something. Basically some sort of breakdown. I think it's either a cartoon or a movie. The masked person wears a mask all the time and I'm pretty sure you never get to see his face. He might be the bad guy.
openNo Title Literature
A book about a child, possibly of the nickname Tiger, who is leaving a war zone, and brings a fish from home. We are never told the child's name, or even gender I think, but through miles of hiking up and down mountains and getting caught in mud and avoiding land-mines with Father, Mother, and the guide, the fish (which may or may not have consistent size) comes to a refugee camp, with Father, Mother, and (?) Tiger, first in a pot, then a bottle, then the child's mouth.

I remember that this show was on Kids WB, and appeared on Saturday Mornings. It featured four teens, who I think had superpowers. One MAY have had the ability to transform into creatures....
And it was also animated in stop-motion/claymation.

Young adult novel - there's a kid who befriends a girl, and then meets a wealthy relative of hers - he's really impressed with the man and his lifestyle and starts to feel a bit ashamed of his own in comparison (in particular I remember the man listened to a lot of opera, and the boy reminisced about how the only times he ever heard any opera were when his family used to turn the radio to an opera station and would all start mocking it by doing dramatic poses and faux lip-syncing). It then turns out the man was either a hiding Nazi war criminal, or just a former Nazi. I also remember the man had a pet papillon, and it might have been in another book, but I remember the girl saying something about having another relative who she compared to Archie Bunker, and adding that sort of thing isn't as funny in real life.

I saw the film a number of years ago and I think I caught it halfway through. A group of terrorists had managed to get into a nuclear missile silo. The main protagonist was an Asian guy — I think he was supposed to have just been the pizza delivery guy who got stuck in there — with extreme martial arts skills. On the outside the military commander was a female who at one point had a joke played on her with one of her subordinates sending her a blow-up doll.
There was a Big Guy who kept getting nailed with groin shots by the protagonist leading up to a scene where it's attempted again and there's a metallic clang whereupon he lifts the sheet of metal he'd stuck down the front of this pants. Whereupon I believe the protagonist just kicked him again. Oh, and there's a later scene where the protagonist is being stalked in a dark room by a female with night vision goggles. We see him apparently huddled in a corner trying to hide before he pulls out a flashlight and blinds her. Oh, and I do remember they had a computer guy who was doing the Password Slot Machine thingie where the numbers line up one by one.
^_^ Anyone remember this one?

This has bothered me for so long I'm wondering if it actually exists.
A crappy horror movie about a clown killing teenagers at a campground. It's got a standard plot: The kids go on a camping trip, their van breaks down and they stuck at a creepy campground. I think they find some weird wind-up false teeth or something, wind them up, and that's what awakens the clown. I'm pretty sure one of them is killed by the teeth.

So my mom once told me she saw this movie late at night and it freaked her out, but she didn't know what it was called. She said it starts off with a kid killing his mom and sister and propping them up like they're praying. Then he locks himself in a room and apparently lays down on a sword, killing himself. Then it shows him going to hell. That's all I know and i was hoping to check this movie out some time, so please if anyone knows help a brotha out.

Over at reddit, this one poster was looking for a comic that sounded really interesting. Here is his description:
"Anybody seen this [one] off web comic about a hero who defeats an "evil villain". the people are grateful but in the absence of a villain they start to become [bad]. so the hero decides to become a villain, so the people will band together in bad times, until another hero rises to defeat him."
Any ideas? Here is the link with more information: http://bit.ly/hoedxz
I'm not sure if this is where you ask about specific episodes of shows, but two queries if so: 1) Stephen Fry once quoted an exchange from Star Trek TOS ("Somebody out there is saying the best three words in the universe." "What words, Captain?" "Please...help me.") Which episode is this from, because I've seen them all and don't remember this from anywhere. 2) And what was the episode of Diagnosis Murder where Mark Sloan got framed for murder, and the first part ended with another character welcoming him to 'hell'? I missed the second part and this has been bugging me for years.
