I remember watching an educational puppet show that teached kids how to speak French or Spanish, it was called rigolicol or something like that and there was a fish creature in it.

Uhm, not sure if this is the right section, but I'm trying to recall an ADVERTISMENT.
It was about a girl who was painting a picture of a guy and that guy sculpting a statue of the girl. The two could not exist at the same time and took turns painting/sculpting each other day and night in an endless loop (one of them turned into the respective medium). I dont even know what the ad was about. If i have to guess it was something about a vitamin pill or something i dont know.
I hail from the Philippines btw (not sure if the ad is international), and I saw this ad like over 10 years ago if that helped. Any ideas?

This is an old cartoon. And I mean OLD. I can't place the time-frame exactly, but I'd hazard a guess at the 30s or 40s. It could be later, I'm not sure. It's about a spider who opens up a hotel in order to trap flies. Two flies stay at the hotel and end up assaulting the spider with fountain-pen tips. It's all done in a style reminiscent of an old Disney or Merry Melodies cartoon. My grandmother had it on a video that featured either old Superman cartoons, or Little Lulu. Or those could be completely unrelated, but I think they might be involved. Anyone know what it's called? I'd try to find it myself, but a severe phobia of spiders basically prevents me from nonspecifically googling them.

I'm trying to remember a fantasy novel. I think the title begin with an A or E. It opens with a guy assassinating a woman, most likely a queen or other powerful figure, by throwing her off a dragon. Their is royalty invovled. A white dragon is supposed to be a royal wedding gift, but the party taking the dragon to the castle is attacked and the dragon escapes into the wild with its handler. It is revealed that dragons are not dumb, but are highly intelligent with a racial memory. Long ago, Humans and dragons were at war and humans were losing badly until they discovered the drug which is a closely guarded secert. Now, the white dragon is free she remembers all of this plus a couple hundred years of enslavement. The white dragon frees another dragon who dies killing humans or attempting to kill humans. People who raise dragons from eggs are peasants and die of a horrible disease that comes from the baby dragons.I think their skin slowly becomes solid. However, their riders are rich, because the dragons are controlled by the royalty and are really expensive to purchase and maintain. The human characters are mainly bastards with lots of backstabbing and murdering. I think their are three sisters, all princesses, one married, one to be married off, and the other independent minded and loves to ride dragons.

Let's see, it was a football (soccer) themed film set in the European Championships in Portugal (Euro 2004) and it was about a British man sneaking to these matches during his honeymoon in Portugal with an American woman. There was also some comic relief with some guys as sports commentators talking about his little charade as a sort of football match. (trust me, I don't recall it making much more sense IN context)
Was made approximately 2005-2007.

Sorry to ask this again but where does this come from?◊ (I can't find the original You Know That Show that I posted)
openNo Title Webcomic
A webcomic set in Japan, really dark... Yaoi tones... A recurring image was that of this creepy yellow smiley face that sort of looked like this O_o and the mouth was stitched. Mention of anarchy... Very sexual in nature.
The main character was abused by his father, and another of the main cast was a gay, male Ganguro.

I cannot for the life of me find the name of this comic. It was about a baseball team of kids and their coach. The coach had white hair, and a moustache. I think they were affiliated with the Montreal Expos, which leads me to believe that this might be a Canadian thing. And for some reason, I remember the coach having some sort of fantastical machine. A time machine, maybe?

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'm looking for a film in which a a teen (possibly blond) boy heads in to a strange big pink box. somehow the pink box transforms him into a cartoon when he goes though and transports him to an odd world. soon he comes to a swamp full of green ghostly things who want him to be supremly lazy and stop breathing altogether. he gets recuced by a talking dog who takes him to a view of two kingdoms ruled by 2 brothers; one beliving letters are most important, the other numbers. he firstgoes in to the letter kingdom. it is highly populated and apples are replaced by the letter a. here he meets an anphomoric blue wolf here, and the boy heads number kingdom. it is less populated but has a lot of technology the king asks the blue wolf whats the highest number he can think of and the king keeps adding 1 to it. my mind blanks out till the ending in which the boy meets the godess of this world and is returned to his home. somehow the kingdoms are reunited (with the dog and 2 kings) against fireworks. the boy watches as the pink box disapears, and as he talks to his friend on the phone, the pink box apears in his friend house... anyone have a title with a better plot summary?

Star Wars related. I have very clear memories of two scenes. 1, a stormtrooper on tattooine who befriends the hero, and the millenium falcons radar dish spinning and looking like it's being struck by lightning.
I remember it so clearly, that I'm not sure if I read it in a book and just imagine it or if I saw something animated that fits it. Arrgh!

A sci-fi kids book, although might be teen as well, published sometime in the last decade. It's set in a normal small town in the US. Several kids decide to build a humanoid robot. They load up numerous different books on his system, to give him an understanding of science and whatnot. Unfortunately, no one bothers to put any sort of inhibitions in his system. The robot goes berserk, although I can't remember how far off the deep end he goes. I remember that the kids try to pass the robot off as an exchange or transfer student from Peoria, Illinois. At the end of the story, the Cool Old Guy, who is probably the grandfather or non-parent relative of one of the kids, electrocutes/incapacitates/destroys the robot with a device connected to a telephone. I think he gets wise to the robot's existence towards the end. I remember that he calls the school in Peoria but finds that the android never went to school there. I can't remember the name of this book, or even any of the names of the characters. Thanks!

I remember my younger sister had a tape with multiple animated shorts on it, and the one I'm thinking of was about a jungle animal (possibly a lion cub) who often said "Ooh, my body" when he was hurt. That's pretty much the only thing I can remember about it, although I'm pretty sure it wasn't Disney related, and it might have been a hand-me-down from her dad.

Okay, I have two. The first one was a cartoon that often was on cartoon network. I think it was about a band of three dudes who happened to be... well, in a band. and they hung out and ate chips a lot and I remember there was a really big stupid one and one time he got part of a chip stuck in his tooth but he was scared of the dentist so he wouldn't go. They always also wanted to watch a puppet show.
I'm not sure of the other medium, probably animation of some kind or anime. It had rather misty colors. There was a girl who was stuck in a dungeon, but one of the walls was a window with bars over it, or fencing, or barbed wire or something. She cried diamonds so that's why people were keeping her there. I think she had white hair. They were making a fortune off her tears. I remember one time a bird flew into the fencing or wire of the window and got friend because it was electric. (It was supposed to be sad but I still laugh my head off at that recollection.)

I remember that there was a TV show I watched sometimes when I was really little...all I remember of the show is that the theme song had an old gnome/dwarf couple (not sure which but they had pointy hats) run to each other and give each other Eskimo kisses. I heard the name a few months ago but I can't think of it now and it's driving me nuts. Can anybody help?
It was a show I saw when I was very young so bear with me. I recall it being about dragons. I remeber several wizards who were kinda color coded, and each one had a dragon. The main good wizard was green and the bad one was red. I think the main character was sucked into this fantasy world. I think I saw dice so maybe it was a dungeons and dragons cartoon.
And this is the only scene I remember clearly...ish. A red head strangter dressed a bit like robin hood appears. There's a short conversation and he takes of his hat, and there's a bunch of sparkles as a bunch of red hair cascades down and we see he is a she. Maybe I was the only one confused as to her gender but I think the character(s) who saw this had the same samus is a girl reaction as me.
Thinking back the art style kinda reminds me of the Last Unicorn and the old animated Lord of the Rings Movies. Am I just lumping a bunch of shows together or was this real?
