Short animation Western Animation

About 35-40 years ago, I was at a friend's house and happened to see this short animation. It started with a long line of men just standing next to each other, and one man would elbow the man to his left who would in turn elbow the man to his left and so on until they got to the last man who was standing on the edge of a precipice. The last man would then lose his balance and fall over and the entire line would shift one step to the left and start again. The next time, just as the man on the end was about to be elbowed over the precipice, he started doing some sort of performance, doing things like juggling and the like. Then he walked down the precipice, you hear a car starting and then driving off. The man who was next to him elbows the guy on his right and grunts, pointing his thumb over his shoulder at where the guy just was. This repeats down the line until they reach the last guy who was also on the edge of a precipice and he loses his balance and falls over. Then the entire line just shifts to the right and starts again. Does anyone know what show that was from, or even better if there's a YouTube video of it?

A Webcomic Webcomic

I remember reading a webcomic about a guy who woke up in a world where everyone had magic. It was exactly like his, except everyone has elemental magic. At first he freaked out, then he saw a line of people waiting to use the grill. Iirc he didn't have magic and was confused as to why everyone was using magic.

please help. i am suffering Live Action TV

My mom and I watch a ton of TV, but there’s a specific episode of a show that we remembered recently. The show was some sort of crime/police show, and since my mom and I both remembered it, we assumed it was from Castle or Hawaii Five-0 (the more recent version). In the episode, a kidnapping victim is attempting to recall the place she was kept, and remembers hearing a voice telling her to “wait.” In the end, the detectives/police realize she was hearing a crosswalk signal near a school for the blind. We both clearly remember this plot point, but after hours of searching, we haven’t been able to find any mention of the show, episode, plot, etc.

The most annoying part is that of the two aforementioned shows we thought it was from, my sister watched Castle with us, and my dad watched Hawaii Five-0 with us, and neither remember this specific plot point. I even went as far as to email the respective television channels that air these shows (ABC and CBS), but received no response. Any help would be appreciated!

Who was this woman I had a Happy Meal toy of from around 2002-2003?

Alright, so I just spent a good while looking at lists of old Happy Meal toys, and there tends to be a lot of gaps with missing lines. And I just cannot find this one. I am almost certain this was from a Happy Meal (in the US), but slim chance some other fast food. I am certain it was early 2000s, no later than 2003. I had a figure of a woman I am guessing was from a live action movie, but I could be mistaken. I am fuzzy, but pretty sure she had blonde or light colored hair(maybe red?), and was dressed in white, silver or light blue. I am pretty certain she was standing on a base that looked like grass and stuff maybe, and something on her lit up. I think she was from something fantasy. I think the figure was on the larger side. I am sure I am not thinking of the White Witch from The Chronicles of Narnia. That was a few years later. For all I know I am also completely off on the colors and what this looked like. I just could not find anything that jogged my memory here. Thank you so much if anyone knows!

Horror movie Film

Hello, I had asked about this years ago but I can't find the post so I'll ask again. I remember a scene where there was a bug on the floor with its body squashed but with its legs moving, and a woman was looking at it and screaming in horror. Then I remember another scene where a decorative full-body armor with a spiked ball lost balance and fell forward, hitting a man in the face with the spiked ball. The movie should be more than 20 years old. (I was a small kid at the time so it might not exactly be as I described. It just scared me and I wanted to solve this childhood mystery.) Thanks in advance!

Childrens's Book: A Mother Must Weave Her Hair into a Jacket for a Whale Literature

I'm looking for the name of a fantasy/ fairy tale picture book where a mother has to rescue her son from the ocean. She strikes a bargain with a whale, who asks her to cut off her long, dark hair and weave it into a jacket for the whale to wear in the cold ocean. In exchange, the whale will help her rescue her son. The whale also promises to give her a magic remedy that will regrow her hair after she has cut it off. The mother begins work on the jacket, but finds she doesn't have enough material. She asks the whale for the hair re-growth remedy, and she cuts her hair off again (leaving her bald or with very short, scraggly hair she covers with a scarf). The mother finishes the whale's jacket, and is able to bring her son back home safely.

I do not know when this book was published. The illustrations were mostly done in dark colors, possibly in pastel or chalk (there was a soft, blurry feel to them). I believe there was a mention at the beginning of the book that it was based on an Asiatic fairy tale, but I haven't been able to find any fairy tales that match the story I remember.

math tv show Live Action TV

I remember way way back to the early 2000s a kids show about math Tricks and science, the main guy is called MAX and there was a kid and a Chick and a purple sphere called Phi, the characters speek directly to the audions all the time. that about all that I remember about the show so pleace help with the show name.

Healthy eating show ?USA?

Basically it was like a retreat/rehab place where people would check in, both overweight and underweight. They lived on a strict regime of exercise and food. There was one woman who was addicted to exercising. There was also an overweight man who played the guitar (he was lovely). Any food that was put on there plate they had to eat.

Novel about car-like aliens Literature

Twenty or so years ago when I was in grade school I remember the teacher read a novel to the class. It was about a race of car-like aliens who come to Earth and mistake the cars the humans drove as their own species, and believe the humans are running a massive slave-trade. I recall the book was told from the car-aliens' perspective and the humans were described in a way that made them sound strange and alien to the reader.

Canadian(?) kids show about different subjects Live Action TV

There's this show we used to watch, but we've forgotten the title.

What the show was about was a Canadian kid who talks about different subjects, including space and poop. The poop episode also included a talk segment with rock artefacts which were prehistoric poop. There's also a "Street Smarts" segment where they ask other kids on their opinions on the topic.

...I think there was a guitar too?

Bouncing Robots (Solved) Videogame

Does anyone remember this game?

It is an RPG where you start with a round Robot Buddy, and whenever you get into a random encounter, you have to bounce your robot on the walls to tackle your opponent and defeat it.

OC Time Travel Harry Potter Fic Literature

This Harry Potter fan fiction was posted on FanFiction.Net and rated T or lower. The main character was a Christian from the American South (probably a self-insert) who, one morning, woke up in the 1980s. Realizing that he had somehow time-traveled, he got a job as an elementary school teacher (a job he was already credentialed for), only to find that his kindergarten class contained one Harry Potter and Dudley Dursley. He ends up adopting Harry and also later marries Harry's caseworker, a Squib whose name starts with L and who has traumatic memories, and has other kids with her. Some plot points of this fic include: our narrator teaching the class to sing "You're Welcome" from Moana (which he passed off as his own creation), the narrator's wife becoming a school counselor at Hogwarts, the narrator refusing to engage in premarital sex with his girlfriend (later wife), there being assistant teachers as well as full teachers at Hogwarts (this was because J.K. Rowling Cannot Do Math), the narrator objecting to being called a Yankee/Yank because he was from the South, and the narrator's family later living in Hogsmeade while their kids attend Hogwarts. There was a lot of future-pop culture jokes. The fic was very long and was written in first person.

Stop motion short movies Western Animation

Hello there!

Back when I was a kid, should be around 15 years ago, but I'm not too sure, I saw some short movies on television that... let's say, they left an impression on my mind. They weren't quite horror themed or explicitly scary, but definitely nothing my parents would have approved of me watching.

As the title suggests, they were stop motion, and when I say "short movies", I mean about one to three minutes each, if I remember correctly. I think I saw them on MTV, and they were aired in between "regular" segments. While there was no apparent connection between them, I'm certain that they were made by the same creators, as they had the same style and "feel" to them.

These movies were rather... let's call it "melancholy", and portrayed only a situation without going into detail about the context; as far as I can recall, there was also no dialogue or any spoken word at all. I only remember two of these (not even sure if I watched more of them):

The first one is really vague in my memory, it showed a cockroach starting its daily routine, the main part of which consisted of ripping off its own head and replacing it with another one. The camera then panned out to show a huge storage with dozens of "replacement heads".

The second was about a man riding an elevator, which suddenly got stuck (and might have crashed down, as well). The man attempts to get out or get help, without any success. The scene then changes after apparently some time has passed; the man is still stuck in the elevator, sitting slouched down with his back against the wall, I think there were stubbles in his face that weren't there before and he looked rather broken. What I remember clearly is how he reached into his pocket, grabbed a card (probably from his wallet) and eating it.

I'm fairly sure that this isn't just all I remember about those two movies, that really was all there is to it - the situations didn't get resolved in any way, they just ended how I described them. I should also mention that I watched them in Germany; however, as there was no dialogue or text, I can't really tell where they were produced.

If you remember anything else about this or could even point me towards where I can find these movies or who created them, I would be really grateful!

Late 90s/Early 00s CITV show? Live Action TV

I remember it being ostensibly a game show, having a team of older seeming kids, having to complete tasks in this mysterious village. One episode involved a plant overgrowing in the house; another involved the kid being cloned and the "funny kid" having to enter a joke competition against his clone. Finally, when they were let out having won the money, the final twist was that they wouldn't get it until their 18th birthday. Did I dream this???

Franklin episode Western Animation

There was a Franklin episode where Bear had to speak Pig Latin, but I don't remember the title.

Unknown Live Action TV

This was about 10 years ago. Show was post apocolypse & there's no power. Gangs are ruling the streets. There's people living in a plane body in a field. Main character goes to a house in the country & there's a scene where they pan to an attic & there's a whole electronics system on. But there's no power in the world. Mystery...

Song about engineering/creating the perfect boyfriend Music

I remember this song had a cool title but I can't remember it. It might have been pop of some variant. It had multiple vocalists of different genders, or at least 2. I can't remember the lyrics. Found it through a YT video's comment section. Gave me mad science vibes...

MST3K Episode Live Action TV

I'm wondering what episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 this joke comes from:

A character shows off a piece of equipment and explains how to use it to another character. After a rather lengthy explanation, Crow says in a panicked tone "Then run!"

Film or a play set in American South Film

I don't remember the details of it much, but from what I gathered is that it was set in the Southern States of the US, the story starts with a woman from the Northern States coming to the South. She was in conflict with an abusive redneck. I've heard there were multiple versions of the story. The one I saw ended with the aforementioned redneck raping the woman from the north, and she left the town completely traumatized.

Old CBBC Ident? Western Animation

I remember seeing a very old CBBC ident on youtube once and can’t seem to find a video containing it. Help would be appreciated:.

Simple, CGI shapes would form together into a head. Said head then started beatboxing, before flying to the side of the screen and cutting to panning on the CBBC logo, cutting back up the logo and the head before revealing the logo in full. The ident was accompanied with some brassy music, if I remember correctly. Once again, help would be appreciated. I think it might have been called “Fire” if that’s any help?

STILL UNSOLVED: Episode in a show where man gets stuck to a postbox

I remember watching this programme and there was a scene where a man ends up stuck to a postbox somehow. A girl then comes along and tries to post her parcel/letter in the postbox whilst the man is still stuck to it. I can't remember how the man got stuck to the postbox exactly but I'm sure it was his face/nose that was stuck to it. When the girl eventually posts her parcel she leaves something from her mouth on the guys head like her retainer I think.It's definitely not Mr Bean/Chucklevision but my guess is that it was some kind of slapstick comedy show possibly. Not sure if it was something on CBBC or another channel but just trying to find the series or episode if anyone can help? Thank you!

Horror stories about a school. Literature

Okay, this is probably not going to get many replies because I seriously doubt it exists outside of Argentina. I'm looking for a book of short stories, all of which take place in a high school where... strange things happen.

In one of the stories, a tall guy is expected to be great at basketball, but he sucks. He doesn't want to disappoint anyone, so he comes up with a plan. He says, quite mysteriously, to his friend that "they're going to give me a standing ovation". The friend is understandably confused because our protagonist is terrible at sports, and asks if he's going to steal the chairs. In the end, he bursts a ketchup packet onto his face and pretends he was hit by an enemy player, and gets a standing ovation for his apparent martyrdom.

In another one, a young student has (I think) a little toy car signed by one of the actors from Back to the Future (?). It gets confiscated. He and his friends sneak into the school at night and break into the room where all confiscated toys and cellphones are kept. In there, they find the principal's nephew, but then it turns out that he's the principal himself and he becomes young when he steps into the room.

In another story, a student finds his dead (ex?) girlfriend in the lab or something.

In the final story, all of the characters (that survived, anyway) join forces to discover, once and for all, the mysteries of the school.

Again, these stories were in Spanish and weren't very popular. I'm just desperate, because I can remember a lot of things about the book and yet no titles. Please, if you have any idea what the book could be, help me.

No Title Live Action TV

It was a drama/thriller/murder/detective show and I believe it had two detectives one male, one female. The body of a little girl is found in a suitcase with her favourite stuffed animal, in a body of water and then the body of her Mother (and maybe a sibling?) are found somewhere else which confounds the investigators a bit. The Dad is obviously a suspect and it turns out that he found the Mom killing the little girl so he then in turn killed the Mom and for some reason decided to cover it all up? Maybe to protect the Mom’s reputation? For all I know, I'm mixing up a few shows but it's driving me nuts. I also think that maybe one of the detective makes a break in the case based on a receipt the Dad had?
