openCAVEMAN FILM
There is this caveman walking all alone and he comes across an area with a cave which is populated by only cavewomen, and they're all really hot. I think they want to kill him or something, and he's considering staying just because they're all so hot.
I was thinking this was from "Year One", but I watched it and I didn't see that scene.
openA weird cartoon I saw like thrice Western Animation
I remember seeing a show for a certain period of time that I can barely remember at all. I think it was on Cartoon Network, it featured a character with a large whool hat. There were also some animal characters.
Really, the biggest thing I remember was one specific episode that I'm hoping will help narrow it down. There was an episode with a bunch of weird looking, cocky aliens who could only truly die when "kicked like a shuttlecock 100 times" and after the main protagonist accomplished that, they turned into fruit.
The only other thing I remember was the quote "Fear my eyeballs"
Anyone have a clue or am I just crazy?
Edited by ForceofnatureandcornopenAn old show about plastic surgery and personal trainer given as a gift
There was this reality TV show, in which people (men and women) who did good things to people got rewarded by plastic surgery and a personal trainer to make them look more beautiful.
I think it was in the late 90's, but not sure about it.
I also remember that the surgeon presented a 3D model to show how the complete work will look like.

openGuitar power Cartoon
I got hit with nostalgia and was wondering what was the cartoon show/movie was called that had a group of primarily teenagers that gained guitar powers and battled with song? I was watching it when I was probably around 5 - 8, so general time frame is prob 2001-2004 but I might be wrong. If anything the show would be older. The only scene I can really remember is a group of teenagers and one older male of African descent (probably like a guide or something) called upon the power guitars or something. They then were super powerful because the had the power of song. It had something to do with a portal and then everyone got guitar powers from this one dude
Wasn't 3D. Art-style was a bit like he-man. I think it was on adult swim because I was watching at night time. but i might be wrong. Not - Free Fonix, Metalocalypse.
Edited by GethianopenA game I vaguely Remember. Videogame
I remember A game from back when I was younger, It had several playable characters and some of their story's merged together I think. I can remember some of the characters, There was A guy who I think was named Lute A girl with purple blood, a woman who was framed for her husband/boyfriends murder and a monster guy with green fur/maybe feathers covering his body. It's been bothering me for a long time now so some help would be nice.
openMan holds colander above his head to shelter from rain, thinking it's a pan? Western Animation
Pretty sure this is a cartoon, may have been an episode of The Simpsons. Basically, it's raining, and a man (who I think has a beard) is sitting on a rock holding a colander over his head, and someone else walks up to him and says, "What are you doing?" and the man says, "Just holding a pan over my head", and the other person says, "That's not a pan, that's a colander!". The dude with the colander had a Scottish accent, I think, and the other person I think was a woman and had an American Accent, but I can't remember exactly.
openAnimal documentary for kids from 90s? Film
Back in late 90s I had some cassettes with short animal documentaries for kids. I'm not sure if it was aired on TV or if it was just some special you could buy in kids magazines since I'm not from english-speaking countries, but the show was definitely in english. I have no idea where I got it from and the only recognizable feature was the fact that it was narrated by a wacky looking robot that said some funny (I guess) lines between different shots. I vaguely remember being creeped out by him bacause I think he looked like some kind of endoskeleton whose eyebrows could move on its own.
openStrange Horror Movie... Film
I remember seeing this movie when I was younger about a team who investigates a haunted house. There was a scene where an old photo album shows a black-and-white picture of a man and his wife (I think the husband killed her) and the pages turn like a flipbook, with the wife slowly pointing towards a fireplace where I think they discovered bones concealed in the ashes. I think one of the characters was later decapitated by a swinging pendulum which was in the fireplace as well? One of the group, a woman, wants to stay in the house to look after the ghost of the dead couple's child, after uncovering a hidden nursery room. Near the end though, she decides to escape and the entire building comes to life, with the vaulted roof twisting and distorting to form a screaming face, presumably that of the evil father. I believe she ends up dying and freeing all the trapped souls, who are shown as engravings on this huge door, kind of like Rhodin's gateway to hell, only bigger. They possibly drag the husband's ghost to the underworld as well.The production values seemed late 80s or early 90s to me, although I could be wrong. Many thanks in advance!
Edited by cake1openA fantasy anime Anime
I don't remember much about this anime, i saw it like 8 or 9 years ago. The protagonist was a young girl with pink hair and baggy green clothes and (maybe) a bandana of the same color. The plot was something like her journey to find her parents. It was set on a prairie/grassland-like world. There was a blonde female villain who I think was in some way related to the protagonist (perhaps her mother?). Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
openCartoon Card show Anime
I remember watching this when I was in maybe pre-teen.
A cartoon about a guy who is very good at i think a card game, he got invited by his friend where top players gathered. tha main guy dismissed but he does click the device, so he is then both that world and real world, where he needs to press the button again to log out, so his friend goes back to th reeal world to get him to press the button but his other "real self" threw it in the trash and so they get it. (first episode kinda synopsis). I remember they go into a room to battle each other where they become monsters in fields and try to get other monsters in other deck.
Please help, and thank you:)
openWhat's the show? Music
Christian musical from early 2000s. Featured a lady and group of kids. Sang 5 loaves and 2 fish song
openOld Runescape Machinima Web Original
I'm pretty sure it was a Machinima but I haven't been able to find it lately and it was amazing. There was an epic shot at the beginning of the video with lots of players sitting around a long table discussing serious matters. I think it was assassination or something? Someone said something wrong and they had a bad edit of him dying with screaming and a skeleton costume and zombie emote? Then one of the members was elected to kill some famous British Runescape player? He went into his in-game house and sneaked around to pink panther, disguised himself as a banana and poisoned the guy's tea. The poison didn't work and he farted. The assassin came out of hiding and said something like he had learnt Kungfu for 20 yrs and then was shot and the British guy just said "And I have a shotgun" as a one-liner. I'm worried it was deleted but I really loved this video as a kid I hope someone knows where I can find it :)
openPossible newer tv show
I am going nuts trying to find out what this tv show is. Sorry might have some spoilers. There is a man that his job is to keep this woman alive from an infection that is changing people into zombies. This woman for some reason when she is bit she actually cures the person that bites her. She also cannot be changed. The woman with the man, i think someone who was supposed to work on curing the virus, ends up getting it. He cannot kill her so he locks her up in a cell. The girl with the cure ends up biting the infected woman and it cures her. There is also a scene on the roof where these guys have one of the other’s wife, and they are going to kill her unless they hand over this curing woman. They end up killing the wife in front of the husband. There may have been vampires in it, because the ones with the hostage didn’t seem like mindless zombies. Please help me with this because I really am going crazy trying to find this series, unless it is a movie.
openThis one show or movie Western Animation
There was this one show or movie with five dogs and a green parrot, does anyone know what show or movie it is?
openTrying to remember an old game Videogame
There was this old post-millennial game about a guy with long orange hair In Space I'm pretty sure we follow him around on a distant planet. Surprisingly enough, it has nothing to do with anime.
Edited by ZeanobiaopenNeed Help Finding A Childhood Cartoon!!
Heyo! So for years I've been desperately trying to find a cartoon that I can't remember the name of for the life of me If you have any ideas on what it might be, please leave a comment below!! So the basic plot line of the cartoon was that children went to sleep and their shadows would float away from them In their dreams they would go on adventures with talking animals I do not remember what company made it or what channel it was on (I watched it on DVD, I'd believe) I remember a very specific episode: A little girl entered her dreams and in her dreams she hung out with a bunch of talking animals that she was friends with They went into the woods and one of her talking animal friends (who I remember as a bear) ate bad mushrooms even though her friends told her not to So her friends got her doctor dad and he helped her get better by giving her a special medicine (she was sitting on a tree stump when he gave it to her) And then the second half of the episode was a wedding That's pretty much all I remember I hope I end up finding it, and thank you to anyone who is willing to try and help me out! :)
openShow about girl in new york Western Animation
Trying to find a show I can't find anywhere online. It was about a girl and I'm fairly sure her name was the title of the show. She had squiggly black hair and was an only child. She lived with her parents in an apartment in new York from memory but it could have been any big city. My main memory from the show was that in one episode she caught the bus and there was a man on it with a bassoon which he played for her. Aired on ABC for kids in Australia in the early 00's and would have been from around that period.
resolved Thriller-type movie Film
I caught part of this film on Starz (either just the regular channel or a spinoff) while relaxing in a hotel a few days ago, and I would have caught the name if the schedules on the DVR were correct. Best as I could tell, it was a thriller film about a girlfriend and boyfriend being chased by this scary dude and the police, because they were framed/blamed for killing people when it was actually the scary dude.
One scene had them trying to sneak past the cops (New Mexico police, I think), but the guy got caught until the girl pulled a revolver (probably from one of the cops) and made the cop holding her boyfriend let him go, but then the scary dude shows up, there's a gunfight with one or two cops getting killed (by the dude), and the couple takes the squad car and runs away. They get into an argument with the Sheriff over the car's radio, and are being chased by a ton of police until the scary dude shows up again in a busted-up black Pontiac while "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails plays during the sequence, and the guy runs the cops off the road and then maybe the couple.
The last bit I remember was that the couple managed to hide out in a motel, they're staying in separate rooms, the girl's in a shirt and underwear, then she's attacked by the scary dude again, fends him off, goes outside, and discovers that her boyfriend is bound, gagged, and chained up to a semi truck and a trailer.
The scary dude is in the cab and driving the truck, threatening to pull the dude apart, the girl pulls the revolver on the dude, but he says that he wants to die and that if she shoots him, his foot will fall off the clutch and the boyfriend will likely die. But then the cops showed up, and that's about the point where I had to leave the room for the day's activities.
I have tried looking this film up on IMDB by keyword, but either this film is super-recent, or it's too obscure to have all the relevant keywords applied to it.
I watched this in middle school (2008 in math class) but could never figure out what it was. We only watched like ten mins at a time, so I'm not sure if it was a show or a movie.
It was about a high school class that had gone missing, and now the children of former students were going into the abandoned school to find out what had happened. The kids had to solve puzzles/find clues as they explored. (i think i remember there being ghosts or maybe a genie???)
I know the song 'red right hand' featured heavily in it. (or at least something that sounds really similar. every time I hear that song I go on a search trying to find this show)
It looked like it was probably made in the 90s. Most of the scenes looked like there were in the school's basement; it was mostly brick and pipes. It was in English, and set in America.
