openFlash Animation with Blocky People Web Original
I want to say from the late 2000s, a flash animated (most likely originated on Newgrounds) series where everyone was blocky - even moreso than Minecraft (a single character would be made of one "block"). There were some flash games made for it as well, I remember one was Western-themed. The humour was rather crude, or at least what I considered crude when I was young. The main character was a guy (possibly a kid or just an annoying adult) and there may have been a character who was a cat.

Two girls who lose their dad end up being raised by their homosexual half-brother one of the two girls is autistic
It is definitely not anime and I believe it to be a Hulu original
Edited by AnntonetteRoseopenAnimated YouTube video, girl sings about becoming famous by killing someone else famous. Web Original
This was early You Tube - I think it was back when there was a staff-curated front page, and that was where I saw it. It was a cheerful sounding song, maybe with ukulele or acoustic guitar music, that started out with the narrator wanting to be famous and all the ways she could do it, before concluding that she could just achieve fame by killing a famous person. Definitely played for black comedy, and up until the halfway point it seemed like it was just a whimsical kids song.
openOld Ian Flynn Sonic Fanfiction Web Original
Before Ian worked for Archie and IDW, he had several fanfics going as well as a webcomic. The webcomic I can still find. The fanfics I can not anymore since his fanfiction.net account is now empty. Wondering if there is a possibility of anything being backed up somewhere. Anybody have anything saved or any other help?
openThis... French Kids Game Website, Themed Around Poop? Web Original
I remember playing on this as a kid. There was a rolling game (where you go up and down hills) and then there was some sort of music maker with fart noises. It also was really cute, I think...
Any help?
openSonic Retrospective series that I only remember for one thing. Web Original
There's a running gag early in the series where the narrator calls Dr. Robotnik "Eggman", his later name, only for him to respond "That's Robotnik" or something of the sort. Can somebody help me find it?
Edited by 123MannCoBoxopen[SOLVED] Web game about budgeting and financing Web Original
EDIT: This game has been found. It's called SPENT and it can be played here
. Thank you rubyswimmer21 for finding this.
Last year, I had to play a game online for one of my classes at school. It was about living on a budget of I think 50 dollars to start with and you had to make it through a month with what you have and what you earn throughout the game. You had to pick from three jobs (I think they were a waiter, warehouse/hard labor, and a temp agency) and how much you make a week depends on what job you pick. You then have to get an apartment that's either close to your work where you spend less on gas but the rent is expensive, or a cheap apartment far from work and you have to spend more gas money.
There where several scenarios where something bad comes up such as your car breaking down or dental issues and having to decide to spend money on those issues if you can afford it, and if you can't then you have to deal with the consequences of not doing so. Other problems include: Health insurance, spending money on your kid's lunch so they don't get made fun of for being on the free lunch program, buying groceries, dealing with a pet's illness, getting fired for things like joining a union or being framed for bullying after you tell off some co-workers for making fun of you, and workplace injuries.
There were other ways to earn money such as breaking open your kid's piggy bank, selling some of your stuff, and allowing a friend to stay over in exchange for money (only for your landlord to either raise your rent or kick you out; I forget which).
At the end of the month, the game tells you something like "You have [X amount of money]... but rent is due tomorrow."
The color scheme was mostly dark grey and red.
Hopefully, someone knows what I'm talking about. My mind is totally blank as to what the name of this game was.
Edited by KToonzopenOld Super Mario 64 Machinima (UNSOLVED) Web Original
Probably would have been around 2006-07, and it was a series of Super Mario 64 machinima on Gamespot's website, though it was probably on YouTube and/or Machinima.com as well. It told a story using on-screen dialogue similar to supermarioglitchy4, but I believe it was made before he started in 2011. It told the story of Mario trying to save the "glitching" game (I believe episode 2, for instance, had star textures all over the entrance hall of Peach's Castle). One episode had the sound go out from the glitching, and it was replaced my Michael Jackson music, which many fans didn't like to the point where he uploaded an alternate version in which "Mj's [sic] beat has been taken out" (as said in the description, or something along those lines).
Edited by rjd1922openWhatever this girl is from (web series...?) Web Original
I never saw it myself but I'm pretty sure I read about it somewhere, possibly even on here. This girl ( https://imgur.com/gallery/55lGPap
) was one of the characters, I'm positive. Google Reverse Image Search does me no good and I don't remember the names or appearances of any of the other characters. I thought it was something like Eddsworld or whatever, but it's not actually Eddsworld and I don't really know a lot of different web series, I'm just pretty sure it was one. Sorry there's almost nothing to go off of here. I'm just hoping someone recognizes the picture. Thanks in advance
openTrying to find a SpongeBob YTP Web Original
There's a funny YouTube Poop I've seen quite a few times of the SpongeBob episode "Life of Crime". I can't seem to remember the name at the moment but I do remember one line from it; "Alright, which one of you fat f🐬🐬🐬s stole my lolly?"
Thank you in advance.
Edited by EeveeGirlCheyopenRWBY Fanfic Web Original
Anyone know which fic this is?
I think I read it on FanFiction.Net. RWBY get sent back 20~ years to when STRQ were students. I vaguely remember Ruby getting mistaken for Summer and the girls commenting on how old the scrolls are.
openGreatest story ever told Web Original
So I was told of this thing called "The Greatest Story Ever Told", or something to that effect. It had many pieces all linked together all over the Internet, like there was a bit in Homestar Runner. Of course, this was while Flash was at its height and some of it's been lost when Flash declined. I can't find anything more about it at all, even what might be left. What's it called? Is there any piece of it still around? Has any of it been archived? Thanks a bunch in advanced.
openLooking for a craft and cooking competition from 2000, 2001 or 2002 Web Original
I remember a reality based craft, cooking and sewing network TV show from the Fall of 2000, 2001 or 2002. Contestants were given a task to complete in a certain amount of time and then judges would evaluate and eliminate one each week. The winner was awarded with a book deal. This was not a cable channel, just a regular network TV show held in either upstate NY or possibly Vermont. The show started in autumn and included many Fall ingredients/crafts. Any help?
openThe Legend of Korra fanfic Web Original
Does anyone know this Korra fic? It may have been deleted.
It was a short, under 3-chapter, Kuvira and Suyin themed fanfic revolving around the familial relationship between the two. I remember it ended with Suyin finding out that Kuvira died in her cell; I think it was of internal bleeding.
It was likely on FanFiction.Net rather that Archive of Our Own. I've tried both sites and can't find it.
openPokemon Fan-Artist Web Original
Anyone know the name of this fan-artist? They're Japanese and have a Pixiv, or at least they did several years ago. They're a Pokémon fan-artist who draws a lot of fanart of Red and the Kanto characters. I remember one comic took place in a tournament and showed Sklya as a little girl.
openWeird bootleg Muppets Chrismas Web Original
It was supposed to seem like an Eastern European rip-off of the Muppet Show. All the characters' lines were made up of random English words that sounded like other words in a way where you could sort of make sense of what the were saying, but not really. I think that the 'kermit' was white, and that one or more characters melted over the course of the video.
openTikTok about painful sunburn game Web Original
I remember seeing a Tik Tok in some compilation on Youtube that went to the effect of:
Person 1: Did you guys ever play that game where you stuck a cold spoon to your brother's sunburn and ripped his skin off?? Person 2: ...wtf
If anyone could track it down for me (or a compilation that it's a part of!) I would appreciate it!

Three characters, sometimes object show characters, dancing to a song. The first one extended their legs up and down, the second spun side to side. At the end another character would interrupt them from the top right corner
I’m sorry for the bad description but I’ve been looking for this for years so if any of yall remember these obscure videos I will be very thankful
