openOld Flash game Videogame
I'm trying to find a Flash(?) game that was on either Newgrounds or Miniclip. It was a cowboy-themed platformer with pixel art graphics, kinda similar to Armadillo on the NES. I played it at some point between 2008 and 2011.
openIdk Western Animation
It was on in between 2005 and 2012. Its a show about a brother and sister. The brother is a pilot and his mother dies leaving him a ship. His mother was as killed by the soldiers, and his brother and sister flee in the ship. They are on the run from the empire.
openChildhood Show Western Animation
There was a TV show from about 10 years ago that I used to like as a kid. The title probably had "brain" in the name. I remember it having a really weird art style. It was animated, but each episode was made of several sketches. The one I remember most clearly was when someone would read information about a topic while a bunch of random and distracting stuff was happening in the background. Then they would quiz you to see if you were paying attention. For example, I remember the show doing that sketch with volcanoes. EDIT: Found it. It's called Crashbox.
Edited by VerticalHungeropenSimpsons Dr. Strangelove couch gag Western Animation
I am looking for a couch gag in The Simpsons that parodies the famous bomb scene from Dr. Strangelove. The whole family is on the couch wearing Stetsons. The floor opens (I can't remember if the setting was an aircraft bomb bay or the living room) and the couch falls through the hole with a town visible below. The family wave their hats as this happens. This is NOT the scene in which Homer imagines riding the bomb.
openBritish advert with giant baby in car park
I recall seeing this advert in the early 2000s. A man was in an office building taking a phone call. He looked out through the window at the car park (parking lot) and there was a huge baby/giant realistic doll sitting in the centre of it. I can't remember what it was advertising or any of the words said and it's been bugging me for a while now.
openBee Scouts? Western Animation
I vaguely remember this cartoon on Nickelodeon about a young girl that was in some Girl Scout troop involving bees somehow. And she had this ugly looking dog and an imaginary friend she talked to that was a smiley face drawn on her finger. The animation was kinda weird looking too. Anyone else remember this?
openA scene from the end of a movie or TV show Film
I remember catching the end of this on TV as a kid. It was a colour movie or show, but I remember it looking rather old. It was a long shot of a party/ball scene in a hall building with a fountain in the centre. The strangest part was the old Citroen van hanging from the ceiling with a stream of water shooting from its radiator into the fountain. I have no idea what this was and I would like to find out. I should note that there is a possibility this was something my young mind had dreamed up, but if anyone can confirm that this is from a show/film that exists I would be extremely grateful.
openElbowpads and Mole Puppets Live Action TV
In Math Class, I think in Middle School, the teacher showed a clip from some odd show. It started with a man in a suit rubbing a magic elbow pad, which changes the theme from a classic kids' show type setting to a darker, creepier show with kids in a mansion (that have a bunch of numbers floating about in the intro, but that doesn't happen). The man introduces himself as Bad Max, and the kids have to solve a math problem. At some part, it cuts to Elbow Pad Max, who teaches something like subtraction with red string and a purple mole puppet. Any of this familiar?
openResident Evil Game(?) Videogame
So, I remember watching my older brother play a rail-shooter Wii game, which my memory pins as a Resident Evil game. I only remember my brother getting very frustrated when fighting this one monster because he couldn't get it into the sunlight, which I guess is what you're supposed to do. I remember hearing a woman's voice saying something along the lines of "Aim for it's mouth!" and I think maybe she said "Get it into the sunlight!" I vaguely remember the "Mouth" monster looking like an alligator, while the "Sunlight" one was some kind of blob monster chasing you through a dark hallway. My memory sucks because it's been years. 2007-2008 is the range I'd put it.
Edited by Blazer_the_Delphoxopen2D animation with scary machine Western Animation
Hey all, I just remembered a cartoon I saw as a child. It had a villain who had a machine; I don't remember the purpose but it was basically a torture device. It did multiple things but the one I remember was it bolting a metal plate onto the victim's mouth. There wasn't any gore or anything. The victim was able to like get the metal plate off by stretching their mouth around cartoonishly. Eventually the machine broke down before it got to whatever it was supposed to do. At the end of the cartoon, the villain was stuck in the machine, and it worked but the screen faded to black before it got any further.
Honestly it was pretty frightening as a kid and probably still pretty frightening by my standards today, but I'd like to find it again if only to scratch the itch of not knowing what it was. Thanks!

openRacist children's cartoon? Western Animation
It was on in about 2008, so I was shocked that this was on. It had a preschool girl and her mother in a car and the girl asks "what's a papoose?" and the mother says that it's a "little brown Indian baby".

openKid's TV Show Film
There was a TV show i used to watch. I remember it being similar to Bo On The Go. It was all entirely set in a white space. That's all I remember? It was animated and I think it was the name of the main character's name (there was pretty much only one character). I think it was called something that didn't sound English but I have no idea.

Edited by JorgeNin64openNew fantasy series
Trying to find name and network of new tv series. What I remember: plantation owners where the slaves, all races, Harvest a certain drug crop. Strong male slaves train as warriors for the plantation owners. One particular owner has a diease that is killing his brain. His head trainer is of Asian decent and gets the local doctor pregnant which is not allowed. They are planning their escape with the help of a young boy with powers he doesn't understand. It started in 2015 or 2016. Not sure what network it's on either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
openCartoon show Western Animation
I remember watching a cartoon show when I was younger that aired on Disney Channel (I think). The main characters (I think) were a white male rabbit (that smelled his feet in the intro or something :/) and a female dog(?) with yellow hair (or ears?) and they lived in a treehouse. One episode I remember a little is that the two main characters started having a disagreement and they ended up drawing a line between them. Then at the end (or close to the end), one if the main characters stepped on the line and the entire treehouse fell.
That's all I can remember unfortunately. I would appreciate it if someone could help me find the show I'm looking for!
there was this cartoon probably made by hasbro during 1997 that my mom doesnt remember much about. here is all she could remember of it: 1.it was 3d-animated, so that cancels out MLP. 2.it was set in prehistoric earth 3.it was about two factions locked in war 4.there was one of the bad guys who was an t-rex robot and 5.that same guy said"yessss" all the time. my little brother's cartoon block airs this very show that mom doesnt remember. he remembers that it is connected with another cartoon of hasbro's from 1984.and as i said, its not MLP. he knows most of the bad guy's names. i think its well-known because it won an award or so, so its fairly easy to find info on it.
