openBest Out of Infinity... Print Comic
Does anyone know which Darkwing Duck comic it is that provides the picture for that trope? I don't think it's part of either of the two newer runs, unless it's from one of those I haven't read.

openDark show removed from Netflix Live Action TV
Okay so, there was this show, each episode had different stories. It was dark and disturbing kinda vibe. A little like Black Mirror but not. Possibly American or Canadian??
I can only remember a few stories like there was a guy and he kept hearing a buzzing and he smashed everything trying to get it to stop but it was something inside his ear. Then another one was a woman in a hotel room saw a man watching her from the other side of the street and at first she's creeped out but then she's really into it but it turns out to be a dead body. Probably made like this decade or early last?
resolved Isometric Webcomic, Anybody? Webcomic
The main character wakes up in a hospital with amnesia, finds the world is in the middle of apocalypses. Yes, plural apocalypses. There's a robot uprising, plant monsters eating people, zombies, vampires, there might be aliens, but I don't remember. Oh, and the main character, the chosen one, is an idiot.
openKids TV show from the 2000's?
PLEASE HELP. This show was around the 2000s. It is a kids cartoon tv show, about a brother and sister who live in an apartment. The only episode I can remember is the kids have a school project where they design a dinosaur. They dream about their dinosaurs they have made, and one of theirs has weak legs and is wobbly, and the other one is cold because they didn't put felt on it. In the end they put their ideas together and the dinosaur is happy and they play hide and seek with it.
openBlack and White Movie involving Monsters Afraid of Rain after Nuclear Strike Film
Movie starts with a father and his visiting daughter up in a mountain house by a lake and they hear on the radio that a nuclear bomb has striked down below. The daughter is worried because her poor fiance is still traveling up. They hear a knock on the door expecting him and the daughter almost rushes to it, but the father stops her and pulls out a shotgun. He tells her to stay back as he slowly opens the door. He opens the door to find a group of people including a perverted moonshiner, a blonde lady, an ex-con, and some other people I don't remember. They plead to come in, afraid of the effects of the nuke. With the daughter's coaxing, the cautious father relents and lets them in. Together they start to worry, dance, and generally bond in the cheesy black and white sci-fi horror movie way. Eventually through the days, the fiance still missing the father tries to keep them all inside food in the cellar. The father does eventually go out in the woods to check rabbit traps, and he finds that some sort of creature ate it. Then in a long series of scenes every one except for the ex-con, the father, and the daughter die. The moonshiner tries to make moonshine in a river, cut to monter POV, moonshiner stumbles and is dead. Blondie clears leaves from hidden pool and goes swimming, monster pov, and she gets drowned. This continues until most are dead. Eventually the daughter goes over a bridge, is attacked by an ugly, prosthetic faced monster in a tuxedo. She exclaims that it is her fiance, and he begins to attack her. Ex-con and father come to begin to rescue her, but the rain pouring down and making the monster's skin burn is what finally scares it away. I think in the end Ex-con and daughter fall in love while father also remains with them. Credits roll. It was in a disk pack of three other old sci-fi movies, one I remember involving a scientist in a time macine that was basically a room with a wall of flashing squares for a moniter, and a room wallpapered in tinfoil.

I remember an archie double digest with some theme park ride with a dragon. It was designed so that Archie dressed as a knight could pretend trescue Betty from a dragon. I think there may have been some dream sequence in there.
Edited by greatgodofmineworldopenPre-1960 comic book about boy and his adoptive father Print Comic
My mother told me about some magazine-shaped comic books she read as a child in the early 1960's. She says they seemed old when she found them, so they were probably printed well before 1960. The main characters are an orphan boy and a single Catholic man who adopts him and enrolls him in a Catholic school. The boy's placement test score puts him a year behind the other boys his age, which angers the boy. The boy and his adoptive father both have black hair with blue highlights. In the middle of each comic book is a history lesson. Does anyone else remember this comic book series?

Edited by dankosauropenCartoon character come to life through a portal Film
Quite a while ago, back when i was a child I watched this 3d animated film and i just can't remember the name. The film in question is old, around 2004 and isn't popular. The plot goes like this: there is a TV show with these cute elf like characters that make their own cars and then race. One day, as they race for the princesses hand, a huge portal open in the sky and takes away the orb in the midle of the city, putting the city in darkness. Few characters run through this portal to get the orb and they end up in reality (still 3d animation). Here they meet their animator and find out that a evil scientist made that portal, the portal can bring any animated object to life and he is using that orb as an energy source. He later on spawns a mech using the portal, but the main characters stop him and return to their animated land with the orb. The main characters are few inches tall, one is a smart inventor, one is a strong good-lookig fellow, there are a few baddies who cheat in races and the princess really likes adventures. I remeber that there is scene where the princess jumps off a real building using a rope as she majesticly flies through the air. I just can't remember the name of the movie and can't find it on google, can anyone help me? Do you maybe know the movie by my description?
openWebcomic with bad karaoke guy Webcomic
A webcomic with a specific strip in which a guy is at a karaoke. His thoughts are along the lines of "If I keep singing, someday a music producer will notice me and my life of stardom and musical fame will begin". Everyone else's thoughts are along the lines of "Good god this guy sucks", and the last one is thinking "In my entire career as a music producer I've never heard anyone so bad".
openSynthpop/New Wave or Maybe Progressive Rock song Music
This may be hard to due a complete lack of lyrics, but I've had this song stuck in my head for the past couple days and it's driving me insane. It's just this one part that won't go away, if I were to spell it out it would be something like "doo doo duh-doo doooo (this one lasts for about four seconds), doo doo duh-duh dooo". As for the artist, I believe it's one of the following; The Police, Tears for Fears, A-ha, U2, A Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, The Psychedelic Furs, Billy Idol, Supertramp or Styx, that last one especially, though it could be none of them, they're just suggestions. However, it might also be an alt rock/grunge song, but I doubt that. I believe it's from the eighties or nineties, has a somewhat uptempo vibe, and was fairly popular. I remember the lyrics were something like "take me/ taking/taken away" or just "something away" or "something to me". And finally, the part in question sounds somewhat similar to the part from KMFDM's Looking for Strange that starts at 0:56.
Edited by IHateMyselfAndWantToDieopenA sitcom
I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the sitcom if it was even classified as such but every episode was supposed to be a recording that a kid who is now grown up made. There's a lazy father and an overprotective mother and the main character (the kid) had an older brother and an older sister. The main character (the kid) liked to film and at the end of every episode we would usually see a real life clip from the creators childhood on which the episode was based on. So if somebody knows which show i'm talking about could they please tell me the name
Edited by DevilishChevonopenScience Fiction Book, World Stuck at Medieval Technological Levels Literature
Years ago I read a summary for a book/ series about a world kept at a low level of technology. I do not remember any specifics about the plot, only that the setting was a planet forced into Medieval Stasis by a Kill Sat that destroyed anything moving faster than about 30 miles an hour. (So riding around on horses and carts was alright, but trains and automobiles and projectile weaponry were right out.) Nothing in the Literature sections of the Medieval Stasis and Kill Sat pages rings a bell, so any help tracking down this book would be much appreciated!
openim not sure
there used to be a tv show back in the late 90s or early 00s and it was a lot of little skits to make up the whole episode. there was one skit that i remember that had like i wanna say a french painter who never spoke throughout the show but would draw and interact with the audience (us) while there was a pretty popular classical song playing in the background. he would be wearing like a blue "dress" with black "leggings", a stereotypical french hat, and had a huge mustache across his face.
This must have been on tv roughly around and between the years 2003-2006. The main charector was male and I think was a little doll. The programme involved a Rube Goldberg machine that was made out of small objects (e.g. A reel of thread) however they looked big because the characters where small. The main character would try to find objects to add to the machine by asking his friends. I remember he'd ask to borrow things and they'd say "you can't borrow it... but you can have it". His friends where lady birds and other bugs I think.
