openTV show about a guy that does random stuff everyday
Hello. So I've just remembered that I saw this once some years ago but I don't remember much only that it was a comedy show and the opening song was the guy playing violin very badly. I also remember one episode where he went to a doctor that takes stuff out of people butt and the guy asked the doctor the doctor what were the weirdest stuff he found inside someone and one of the things he said was a mouse. I hope any of this can ring any bells

Edited by leinad7opentv show i saw when i was younger
Not sure if it only had one episode or if it was a documentary, I remember seeing it while i was young. It had various adults remembering or having nightmares about horror movie characters, (notably from what i can remember, Pinhead from Hellraiser, the vomiting girl off of The Sixth Sense) and various others, this show featured scenes with these characters and adults telling stories about them, pretty much like those ghost accounts they show on tv now, please help me find it thank you.
open'70s live action variety show where on-stage puppet ate actors? Live Action TV
I have a vivid memory of a mid-late '70s tv show that took place on a live stage where a huge muppet with a big mouth would walk on stage and eat one of the actors. It was meant to be humorous, as I recall, and I don't think the muppet/puppet was a major part of the show. Help! Been trying to figure this out for years!
openEither Japanese or Chinese fighting show Anime
So it's like one of those shows where you've got these main characters and they've got the ability to transform and summon some tools and things to fight with. They later introduce another main character but he doesn't really work with the first " 2 main characters". In one episode, the 3rd character finds out that the evil guys had killed his parents and then transforms from the device and kills them both. The first episode is when there's this guy, talking to his "device" that kind of looks like a dragon, they found another dragon device thing and it said it would choose it's own master. First episode, the " new master" is shown, and running from the evil guys. Oingg through the buildings and stuff, but barely remember anything in detail, it was shown around 2010 I'd say. Thanks for reading most of it :)
opendisco song Music
This is gonna be really vague but there was this radio station were I live that played mostly 70/80s music, unfortunately they changed it to mostly play more recent stuff so I haven't been able to find it. I can't remember any lyrics but it was kind of disco-y and had a sound effect somewhat like the clarinet (I think that's what it is anyway) in this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBo0QC2Y50Q
openFlash game with burning vampire Videogame
I found this game on one of those sites that collect flash games, Kongregate or Newgrounds or one of them. It's a sidescrolling platform game where you play as a vampire trying to get somewhere. If you go into a sunny area you catch fire, but there are fountains where you can douse yourself again.
openmixture of live action and animated segments for kids Western Animation
I remember watching this on vhs and feel like it was called brainstorm or something like that. It was about three animators and had both live action segments and animated sketches . It was very much for kids and kinda similar to school house rock. It had this old animator and then two young adults that were more zany and weird. They had a few sketches they did a lot like one about kids going to work with their parents and I think one was a hero of the day sorta thing. I've convinced myself I dreamt it because I can't find a trace of it online anywhere. Any help would be loved.
openWeird movie about The Hero's Journey Film
This is a movie on a kind of Sword and Sandal setting with some sort of esoteric symbolism. It was filmed mostly in dessert locations about a guy having some weird encounters including a girl who he has sex and then she's crucified by her village and a guy melting himself in oil in the middle of the dessert to avoid having sexual urges (yes is kind of weird), almost something that Jodorowsky would do but more mainstream. I think the guy is Michael York but I'm not sure and is from the late 70s or early 80s.
Edited by LuppercusopenDramedy About an Old Widow Dating Film
1980s or 1990s comedy-drama movie about three elderly/late middle aged widows and friends in New York. One remained faithful to her husband, one decided to “sow her wild oats” as it were, and the plot revolved around the last, who decided to start dating a local widower (and bus driver?). The film ended with the faithful widow dying, the unfaithful widow admitting she hadn’t really seen anyone since her spouse’s death, and the third widow and the widower still together.
openMedieval fantasy about a woman faking to be a man Film
I remember I watched this movie as a kid, it has a very beautiful black-haired girl who wants to be a Knight in the Middle Ages, obviously she's not allowed, she goes into the forest and is trainned by some sort of magical creature (a masked man) who trains her using a self-moving sword, then she -disguised as a man- tooks part in a Knight tournament. Is probably from the 80s, early 90 as much
openToy based off of Math Blasters? Videogame
Did Math Blasters ever have any medium-sized electronic toys? I have (or at least I had) a toy somewhere from circa 1997-2003 that was a purple math edutainment toy. I remember it being space themed and featuring a young boy. From what I remember, it's battery operated and you click on buttons to solve math problems. I remember it being loud with a lot of pew-pew-pew type noises.
I think it might be Math Blasters related. I've never played a Math Blaster game, but I remember it being "Blaster" related. If it's Math Blasters related, then which is it based on?
openFootball Player that also dances Music
I was at the movies recently and I saw this show that was in the advertisements before my movie started that caught my eye but have no idea what the title is. I looked up everything I can think of but can’t find it. In the theater it was this lightskin kid in high school, dressed in his football gear sitting in the locker room as he sing Macklemore part from his song “I Feel Glorious”. Then he ends up dancing with some girl as skyker grey sings her part in the song. That’s all I can remember.
openMTV Drumscape Metal Song Music
It was a fast-paced metal song featured in the arcade game MTV Drumscape, but as that game doesn't seem to have its tracklist documented anywhere on the internet, I figured I'd come here. I remember a few things. The first is that instrumentally, it sounded a lot like the heavier System of a Down songs. I remember there were male and female vocals. The female ones were mostly clean, and made up the bridges, and the male was more like a scream/growl, and sang the chorus, which was somewhat repetitive. It was a short song, only about two and a half minutes, though it might have been shortened for the game. I listened to several Lacuna Coil songs thinking it was them, and it might still be, but I wasn't able to find one from them that sounded like it.
openShow with a girl that talks with her shadow
I remember to watch an old cartoon where the protagonist was an alone boy. There was a girl whose shadow could move alone (like Peter Pan's shadow) and had its own personality. There was another character, a rich and snobbish girl, there was one scene where she got mad at the boy because he deeps his bread into the tea for some reason. I know that this is not much to follow, but these are the only things i remember, i can't remember what the plot was about, just these three characters. I never found someone who knows what is this, and it is on my mind for years,
openRoad trip scene
I randomly remembered a scene in a tv show but can’t find it anywhere, it could be from a movie but I don’t think so. The scene is a family maybe like 3 or 4 people going on some kind of a trip. They rent a car or rv but it breaks down and they rent another too small car. There’s a little girl let’s call her girl 1, and she loses her toy like a doll or bear out the window (or leaves it in the car I can’t remember) but they go to this campsite and see another little girl 2 has it and they yell at the girl 2 to give it back. I think girl 2 refuses to give it back but the girl 1 is okay with it seeing girl 2 needs it more. That’s all I remember .
Edited by HM22925openTamagotchi manga page I saw described on Deviantart? Print Comic
I know a Tamagotchi fan on DeviantArt who posted a deviation whose description says he remembers one of his friends posting a deviation addressing her concerns regarding the Mametchi x Lovelitchi vs. Mametchi x Himespetchi issue, but said friend deactivated her account years ago, and the only art of hers I could find archived was a Steven Universe drawing.
Anyways, the person describing the lost deviation says a comment posted on that deviation contained a link to a Tamagotchi manga scan suggesting Kiraritchi might be fighting for Mametchi's affections as well. Does anyone know if anything like this happens in the manga, and if so, which issue of the manga it's in? Just curious. Thanks in advance.

I have murky memories of a cartoon I saw.... somewhere as a small kid, it might have been aired on some obscure channel or maybe on a relative's VHS tape. The cartoon was a satire of the automobile industry and took place in the future, where there were so many cars that nobody could drive anymore and people just lived in their cars, which piled up everywhere. For some reason a scientist got the idea to make a self-replicating car, and the last scene of the cartoon was the endlessly self-replicating cars bursting into his lab and devouring him while he screamed for help.
