openNutrition Show? Web Original
I think I was in grade 3, so 2014 or around there. This girl, and I think there was a boy too, had this little web series about health. This specific episode had the girl focusing on nutrition. Making a healthy lunch and that stuff. I think she learned to make a healthy pizza and then a dessert pizza pie. I think one of the main points in the episode was her playing basketball and warning another girl that eating chips was only good for short term energy, and that she could crash and get hurt.
openYouTuber who uploaded dubs of popular anime Web Original
There was once a YouTuber I watched back in 2023. Being a fan of dubbed anime, most of their content consist primarily of dubbed animes like Jujutsu Kaisen, Horimiya, Bleach, etc, and was one of the main reasons I subscribed to their channel in the first place. Their channel was taken down in early 2024, something I didn't notice until now. While it was very obvious why the channel was gone, the fact it happened very sudden and quickly meant no one had enough time to archive the videos prior to the termination. I couldn't even search up their name; all I do know is that it's initials are "VG" and the "V" stands for "Vail" or "Vial". Even the Wayback Machine only archives my channel layout from 2022, and even then the subscription bar leads to nothing. Does know this channel and what was their name before they left YT?
openTumblr Post About Specimen Tube Trope Web Original
This was a humorous post about a sci-fi trope (I don't know if it has a name). It went something like this...
"What did you do with the unknown life form?"
"It's suspended in a vertical tube of translucent blue liquid."
"Are there bubbles in the liquid?"
"Yeah, every couple minutes a bunch of bubbles rise to the top."
"How's the lighting?"
"Well, the lab's pretty dark, but there's a bright light shining into the tube from underneath."
"Good work."

openFan animated Patapon series on youtube, starring a Zigoton Web Original
Many years ago, there used to be a animated series on YouTube based on the Patapon games. I remember several specific things about it:
- It was fanmade, but near-perfectly mimicked the Patapon art style.
- It (seemingly) took place in an Alternate Continuity in which the Zigotons succeesfully kidnap Meden in the first game, as all of the Patapons are held prisoner by the Zigotons, with the exception of Hatapon.
- The main character was a Zigoton (possibly Makoton), and Hatapon was a background/secondary character.
- The main character was secretly gay for General Gong, and was constantly trying to impress him to no avail, which was Played for Laughs
- The video description for one of the episodes said "I made him gayish for the lols" referring to the main character.
- One episode had a scene in which an imprisoned Patapon notices the main character trying to impress Gong, leading to dialogue that went something like this:
open6 Most Wanted Fighters Web Original
A Youtube video on the top 6 most wanted fighters for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. The video was made before the DLC content for the game ended.
The picks included Sans from Undertale, Tracer from Overwatch, and Spyro the Dragon. They suggested that Sans would throw bones as an attack, and that Spyro should be based on his Playstation games.
openBlue's Clues parody Web Original
I remember watching this Blue's Clues parody video many years back. What I remember is that the plot revolved around the protagonist/Steve stand-in hallucinating the whole thing, and it involved a "drinking chair" instead of a "thinking chair", and the Blue stand-in was a girl in a dog costume named "Sunshine" or something similar. One scene I do remember is "Sunshine"/whoever the dog was called shooting the Steve stand-in, causing him to wake up from the hallucination. I also remember that the scenes set in the "real world" involved a whiteboard.
Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
open2d-ish animation about a Doctor guy on a search in a steampunk-ish world Web Original
I'm gonna be honest, I remember the visuals more than I remember anything about the story itself, because I actually didn't watch the video yet, I found it here then I looked it up on Youtube and I was gonna mark it to watch later but I forgot. I think it was black on yellow animation,or maybe it was black on white. It wasn't 2d like Disney, it's just that everything seemed flat, the characters and the background, but it was stylized. I don't really remember what the guy was searching for, I THINK it was the cure for some plague that has been ravaging the world or for a disease a loved one of his had. And I think the steampunk elements were pretty mild or maybe I'm even wrong about it being steampunk but there were definetly some super strong victorian vibes.

As the title says, looking for the this youtuber https://twitter.com/jailedamanda/status/1749495601606144363
openYouTube video about kid kissing vacuum cleaner Web Original
Around 2013, I found this humorous video of a kid kissing a vacuum cleaner. The mom asked "do you want to give the vacuum a good morning kiss"? And this kid kissed the vacuum cleaner. The mom then asked "Do you want to give Daddy a good morning kiss", with the Dad leaning in, touching his finger to his cheek, to which the child responded, "Nope, no, nope, no".
openThat one GoAnimate-esque YouTube show/user that had a page on this wiki. Web Original
I remember going on this wiki before I joined it (I think it was back in 2020?) and seeing a page about an individual, amateur YouTube content creator who uses GoAnimate as an inspiration for their videos note (e.g. the "bad" guys being the troublemakers who get grounded in the end at every video, the "good" guys being the teachers/staff of the school, "educating" the troublemakers on which show the creator likes and slamming them whenever they get the question wrong, and are usually the ones to stop the troublemakers from causing havoc); said videos consists of the creator using a camera to record their videos, using stock images of fictional characters (be it original or from an existing work), switching to a different tab when choosing a specific soundtrack or audio clip for a scene or Character Catchphrase (usually Robotnik's Big "NO!" or "that's disgusting" from an unknown source), etc. There are also a bunch of very strange and kind of creepy fetishes inserted into their videos (e.g. characters becoming fat like a balloon, with an image ripped straight out of DeviantArt, or characters turning into a giant). Lastly, they have an Author Avatar who appears in pretty much every video and whose design is reminiscent of Foxy the Pirate, to the point of being an Expy of the latter. At one point, it had a page here, but I couldn't find it anywhere when going on the related searches for GoAnimate. Maybe it got deleted?
Edited by ToonAbbyopenWebsite for Pokémon Fan Game Idea Web Original
Trying to remember the name of this Pokemon fansite that was for a fan game; I don't believe there was a demo or anything, it was just a hosting website for someone's fan idea for a video game with chapters of a story laid out.
The 1st sprite character I remember was a recolor of Wally from Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. Instead of his green hair and white shirt, it was recolored to give him white hair and a blue shirt; he was also renamed Simon. In the story itself, it starts with him being kidnapped by Team Rocket.
The 2nd sprite character was a Team Rocket character with the uniform, but the character in question was a little girl with pink hair and pigtails.
Edited by TropeFanaticFanopenDo you remember this or have watched it? Web Original
I believe it was an You Tube animation series of some kind about an elderly detective who gets hired to protect a bratty influencer form a creepy guy that just have a crush on her and the first ever seen of that elderly detective is him engaging in a fight with two men in a sauna and beating the shit out of them while wearing nothing
Edited by AminoopenAnimated Fantasy Trailer with Dinosaurs Web Original
I remember seeing this trailer for a web animation series (which wasn't out yet at the time), and it was fantasy based and had dinosaurs, but not every character was a dinosaur. The villain was this demonic-looking dude. Sorry I can't tell you more, but this is what I remember.
openMocap Bugs Bunny animation. Web Original
This is an odd request, but here it goes: I'm looking for a 3d mocap animation of Bugs Bunny that was prominently featured in the classic Christmas special: Skellington's Revenge. I remember there being a link to the animation in the video, but it was in annotations and is now lost thanks to youtube getting rid of them. Any help?
openEarly 2010s website dedicated to rating how much they hate things Web Original
I remember there was this website that was dedicated to hating various things/topics. People would rate how much they hated a thing. There was a comment section where people would rant and explain why they hated the thing. Objects would receive an overall rating base on how hated they were on the site
I believe the site had the word "hate" in the title too.
openGordon Freeman for Smash Web Original
I'm looking for a Youtube video that explains the creator's most wanted characters for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. In the first pick, he explains that he likes how the series represents different consoles like Sega, Playstation, Neo Geo and that we haven't got a PC rep yet. He chose Valve and from the studio came Gordon Freeman from Half-Life.
openAn old sonic adventure 2 redub where Eggman calls Rouge "Big boobs" Web Original
It was on You Tube in the early 2000s . It was a redub of Sonic Adventure 2 where Eggman called Rouge the bat "Big Boobs". Another scene had tails hold up a chaos emerald and say "I chose you Pikachu" in a really raspy voice.
openFootball ad (I think) Web Original
I remember seeing this video, where I don't remember if it was an animation or live-action, where real-life footballers show that they are imperfect, and thus are replaced by perfect clones. Football becomes boring, but one man (I think it was Ronaldo) reunites the players to beat them.
I've tried numerous times to copy and paste the information from reddit over to here but it hasn't worked so I'll try this instead: https://imgur.com/Wld38gq
