openMystery Anti Iraq War Music Video Music
I saw this around 2003 or 2004, but it was a weird video that was on the front page of Yahoo. All I remember was that it was a video with footage of artillery being fired (in night vision like this) with gentle(?) music playing, and also having dolls singing after exiting from a flying saucer. Can someone help me on this one?
open90's sci fi episode
trying to find a sci fi episode about a man who believes he can control the outcome of the world by moving certain objects in his home. for example, if he doesn't water the plants there will be a flood in Hawaii. the show is like outer limits or twilight zone.
openKids with cyborg football suits
Does anyone know that show on Nick where kids fought crime by wearing mechanical football gear that gave them the physical capabilities of football stars?
openShow about teens who fought monsters (around 2009-2012) Live Action TV
I think this was on Nick, it was about this group of teenagers who like played a bunch of video games and then the monsters from the games came to life and they had to use like weapons they made, the girl had a big metal fist thing, and i think the man guy was a ginger and he had big teeth and used this gold metal gun thing. It’s not The Troop it came out after that but it was kinda the same plot. This has really been bugging me cause i vividly remember a scene where they walk in to there warehouse hang out spot and theres like a TV but i cant remember the name! Please help.
Edited by emmmeyeropenAn old internet meme Web Original
I surprisingly can't find anything on this meme. It was an art meme from Deviantart that was everywhere circa 2006-2008. I remember there were multiple cubes where the artist would rant against fan misconceptions, like "Naruto is... not in love with Sasuke".
openPossible American Show Film
Hi, so i was on Instagram and I saw this like 5 second clip of this show and I have no idea what it is and no one is helping me finding it. The clip showed a boy who was most likely in his late teens or early twenties and the background was dark so it was night time and he was white and had short dark hair. In the scene he was talking to someone and said "I think about you all the time." Please help! Thanks!
openYou know that show Anime
I can't seem to recall this certain show where there's a military base in a desert on top of a Sandy colored plateau/mountain and inside of it there are monsters trapped inside. I remember one episode where the protagonist is trying to save people from these 4 legged monsters and everyone has fallen asleep and is in a coma but this one scientist is still awake(thanks to her shocking herself) and they end up going into this hospital where the outbreak started. That's all I can remember besides the fact the military base has armed troops and tanks.
open1980’s or 1990’s Easter Cartoon TV Special Western Animation
I saw it only once when I was around 8 or 9. I remember watching it at Easter time sometime between 1993 and 1996. It was an Easter cartoon special, not reoccurring TV show with an Easter themed episode. I don’t think it was a full-length movie, although it could have been. If it was a movie, it was never in theaters. All I can remember is there we’re talking farm or woodland animals. One of those animals was a rabbit, he seemed to be the central/most memorable animal character. I want to say it took place on or near a farm. There was a boy on the farm. He was the protagonist along with the talking animals. I don’t know if the boy and animals talked to each other, but the animals talked to one another. The antagonist was a machine or robotic type being I remember. It could have been a tractor or a piece of farm equipment. I remember there being s tractor on the farm somewhere. I remembered that the machine/robot somehow hurt the boy, or defeated him somehow. The boy was on the ground hurt, and I remembered how bad I felt and how much I hated that evil robot machine villain thing. The animals were devastated and were on the boy’s side when this happened. I don’t remember what happened at th end, or how everything turned out for the boy and the animals. I want to say that the animals somehow saved the boy from the machine villain but I can’t distinctly remember how that happened. I have always connected the memory of this animated TV special with Easter time, and Easter themed, though I have no memory of the show itself besides the taking rabbit to associate to Easter specifically. I’ve been struggling with this memory and wanting to know what it is I remembered after all these years. I know I remember the way it made me feel the most. Maybe that’s the reason I can’t let it go, and I need to know more. I’ve been struggling with this for 15+ years. Anything would help! Thank you!

Edited by Sugarcoated1102openGuy fights evil while working at a military base
There's a military base located in a desert on top of a plateau/mountain the tv cartoon aired near 2010 I think and has stopped airing. I remember one episode where the protagonist and a scientist(who is only awake because she keeps shocking herself) are fighting these creatures and trying to get to the hospital where the patient zero is. Everyone who falls asleep instantly goes into a coma. This show has good graphics and was really good. Thanks for helping if you can.
openA scene where 3 guys take turn flirting with an old lady. Live Action TV
So I stumbled upon a show (sitcom) a long while ago but I didn't even catch its name. All I remember was a hilarious scene when there are three guys trying to persuade this old lady. So they each enter the room at the different times but ended up being surprised by each other and they all got caught in the end. I did try to find it but nothing came up, only old sitcoms.
open Animated show? Western Animation
This will be vague. Sorry. This is really bugging me. I think it's a fairly newish show 2010 to now. Not an adult show. Anyway it was about a group of kids in forest, They ended up scared of a monster and stuck in a cabin. I remember the big kid being particularly scared. Anyway i remember 2 of group ventured out and in the end it ended up being a old guy in trailer not a monster. I remember it having great dark animation. I always thought it was Gravity Falls. But i went back and looked and it just doesn't match up.
openPorcupine Paddington and Detective Pig Literature
When I was around five or so, I remember reading a book that was kind of like a North American Paddington, only it was about a porcupine instead of a bear. I don't remember a lot about it since it was so long ago, but I recall at least one scene where he climbs a pine tree and looks out over the island (I think it was an island). I also remember that sticks were his favorite food.
Another book I read when I was slightly older was about a detective pig. It was a part of a series, and the book I read involved Robin Hood as a plot point - it was the first place I'd ever heard of quarterstaffs. When I tried to find it via google, I found a series called Freddy the Pig - if anyone has read the series, could you tell me if this is the one I'm thinking of?
openIndie game: talking animal fantasy, "Watership Down" vibes, main character was a mouse Videogame
It was still in relatively early development and only had a trailer to show last time I saw it. It was a 3rd-person, 3D action adventure game along the lines of Zelda or Dark Souls. The main character was a mouse, who I think was carrying a lute. It showed him running around realistic rocky beach landscapes and fighting what I think were rat skeletons. It had a Watership Down or Redwall sort of "dark fantasy with critters" vibe, and rather nice graphics IIRC. This was at least a couple of years ago. Anyone know what I'm talking about and what ever happened to it?
openBritish kids show about a boy and girl Live Action TV
There was this British kids show about a boy and a girl that started out animated but was rebooted as live-action and in one episode of the live-action reboot they had a leak in the roof.
openPolar bear TV show...
So the show had short episodes, possibly 10-15 minutes. It was about a big polar bear and a small polar bear, and they would sit in a cart on one of those railroad tracks and go to different places. Very sweet and sentimental music, and oh the setting of the show was probably in the Arctic or some kind of planet which had only ice. I watched it when I was a kid so possibly sometime between 2003 and 2007. Probably came on one of those channels such as Disney or CN. Please help, i've searched for this show for ages.
openWhat is this old cartoon song? Music
There's this very specific background music that I've heard in a few cartoons, that plays during scary or dramatic situations.
I remember hearing it in quite a few old Disney cartoons, but I can't remember which ones. But I do remember that it is played in Get a Horse!, as a throwback to those old cartoons. See here.
I thought it was just a Disney thing, but then I heard the song in a Betty Boop cartoon.
It must be a Standard Snippet for cartoons. I'll check that page, but I'm still wondering if anyone here knows what the song is called. Thanks!
Edited by DrNoPumaopenSuperhero Cartoon with a Bug?
I remember a cartoon series that a watched many years ago about a group of superheroes of some kind, and there was this little bug (if i remember correctly) who talked in a really high pitched baby voice that was so cute. It wasn't for kids though, I remember there was some swearing. By the way, I didn't watch it on TV, it was some kind of online series that I found on youtube somehow, and I have done so much google searching and found nothing. I do remember one episode, though, where the bug (which im PRETTY sure was a ladybug, but im not positive) was talking about something philosophical/talking about love or something and as he was talking, the members of the group started gathering around to listen to what he had to say (the episodes weren't very long) and im PRETTY sure that the show was named after the bug. I know this isn't a lot of info, but please help!
Edited by etrap25openSketch Comedy TV Show Live Action TV
There was a sketch comedy TV show I remember from the 2000s, but I don't remember the name of the network, actor, show, etc. I remember that the show was centered around one chubby white guy (late teens to 20s) and the bits were very short. I only remember seeing one episode where one of the main bits was about a TV Dinner where there was a basketball player. The other bit I remember had him in a dark room where he had a mirror with a scary mask on it, and he pointed it at the camera to show how ugly the viewer was. The only other thing I can remember is that in the credits sequence, he was riding an Owl or Hippogriff into the sunset, so maybe it was after HP 3 in 2004? It probably wasn't adult swim since I saw it during the evening.
Any ideas?
Okay so it was for the younger kid am thinking preschool to elementary from what I remember it was a walking on two legs talking and earing cloths animal show ( don't remember if there were humans as well) this pink/purple hedgehog(or porcupine I remember it looking sorta pointy) she was painting a picture cant remember of what and some of her friends showed up, don't remember if she went with them or was distracted by them but while she was busy a mouse(one of the friends I think) ruin the painting when she came back she was pissed. they started to try to find out. at the end she has two suspects a monkey(i think) and a lion) she says if she figure out its the monkey shell stop getting him those little candies he likes if its the lion shell never speak to him agian the lion then yells a misty no ( i think Misty was her name) and swears his innocence. the monkey asks what if its someone else she replies with ill claw scratch and bit them to bits( the mouse at the back of the group seems to be losing its shit at the thought and is imaging a misty with really long teeth and nails.
that's all I remember sorry
