resolved 3-D animated childhood-ruining YouTube video (FOUND) Web Original
(MATURE CONTENT AHEAD. I swear this isn't a creepypasta.)
I remembered watching this old youtube video when I was eight years old. I don't remember the title, but I remember this video clearly. It was a 3-D animated parody of Donald Duck, and it starred him and his nephew, Louie. All of the dialogue was in text to speech, with Donald himself having an ungodly deep voice.
The video opened with Donald telling his nephew that it must be hard to live without a mother. I don't remember exactly what was said afterward, but I do remember Donald mentioning that Dewey got himself a homeless man as a roommate, while Huey was seen outside fisting a dead deer.
This is when the weird part came in. Donald suggested that he become Louie's mother, and proceeded to put on a dress. At this point, Louie said "Uncle, please put your clothes back on." Donald didn't do as he asked; instead, he forced Louie to "suck milk from his mother's breast". Which he did.
After Donald was done doing more acts that I can't really say on this forum, he tucked Louie into his bed and whispered this before he closed the door:
"Sleep tight, my baby. Tomorrow, we'll start over."
The video ended with Louie hanging by a noose on a tree in the backyard.

I used to attend a school with a Chinese immersion program and one of the things the teacher would do is play a stick animation that ended in something that represented a Chinese character. It would then show the progression from the pictogram to different iterations of the character until the modern version.
open[2022] Garfield ARG Web Original
I remember it involving Gilbert Gottfried for some reason, and it (I think) came out after his death??
openSearching for a bittersweet short Web Original
It was a short I saw once on youtube, it starts live action with animated elements but the animation progressively takes over. Its about two best friends and they start testing each other's friendship by asking things like "would you be my friend if i had pasta fingers" or "would you be my friend if i had a hump on my back that sounded like bagpipes?" But these things would become true, although they didnt seem to notice. Eventually one says "would you still love me if you couldn't see, hear, touch or feel me?" and she ceases to exist. I NEED to see this short again!!
openCreepypasta about a limited-time healing serum Web Original
A friend of mine was looking to find a creepypasta, about a temporary healing serum. They described it like this:
"There were a large amount of people invited to this building and were given drinks (I think it was wine, but I’m not sure). The person that invited them was some sort of…scientist? Salesman? Both? Either way, he is accompanied by a man strapped to a table who, to the shock of the crowd, is sliced. However, after the laceration was formed..it instantly heals up. It is revealed that the scientist person created a serum that gives people instant healing, essentially immortality..and the wine contained this serum.
There was stunned silence for a while, until a dude from the crowd steps up and asks the crowd to “take a shot at him” given the new serum. Eventually, someone does, the gunshot instantly healing. Eventually, filled with the euphoria of this new and incredible technology, the crowd began to (literally) tear itself apart. They’re practically gods, as no matter how bad the wound, it heals as if nothing happens. A woman tears off her finger nails, and they grow back instantly. Limbs get lopped off and grow back.
This mania halts from a scream. A terrible scream. They turn to the stage/front of the building. The man the scientist person cut earlier screams in pain as the slice reappears, spewing blood, killing him. The scientist reveals that the serum has a…limit, and healed parts re-emerge after this limit. The story ends with the crowd now silent, their inevitable fate sinking in."
If anyone could help us both find this, it would mean a ton, thank you!
openSpaceship Escape Web Original
back in the days of playing on sites like miniclip and addicting games, i clicked on what i thought was a game, but it was a short animated video. there was a girl who woke up on a planet or a spaceship, (and this is why i was confused why it was on a kids gaming site) she was either in a towel or didn't have a top on so she had to hold her arm across her body. then these little alien(?) guys start chasing her and she's being chased through a spaceship, trying to get to the control room. once she escapes and gets to the captains chair, she needs to press a button on both side of the chair, so she has to take her arm off her body and yeah... then the ship takes off. don't know why this was on a kids gaming site or how it got there, but i've always remembered it and want to know wtf it was

Edited by cantrememberresolved A cautionary tale about gambling in song form Web Original
Somewhere on You Tube, there's a music video about a guy who goes to a casino where there are all these shadow people with suspicious heart-shaped holes in them and the only "person" there being the dealer. He goes there hoping to win big and plays a game with a dealer, but loses more stuff every round until he bets his soul and loses that too, where the dealer turns out to be a demon and collects the guy's soul, turning him into another shadow person. I remember the artstyle being something like Hazbin Hotel but wasn't done by Vivziepop herself. In fact, I remember the OP saying in a comment that they were flattered to be compared to her? I remember all of that, but would someone please tell me the name of it?
openInternet Safety Video Web Original
I saw a a You Tuber reacting to an internet safety video. The video features a girl named Chloe talking to someone named Niall. It actually gets a little disturbing because at the end, it shows her clothes by a river. Does anyone know what video he reacted to?
openBrain Game or Game Brain Web Original
I remember this one youtube video of a game review channel of sorts that was linked to on an old wikia page, it had a green screen of a sorta lab area when the main guy was talking, and a talking brain in a jar, I do only know there was. One video about Crash Bandicoot
openRed & Yellow Dog Mascot? Web Original
I'm looking for a red and yellow chihuahua mascot found in flash games and in magazines. I could've sworn it was owned by National Geographic but for the life of me I can't remember it's name. Probably started with a Z iirc. That dog was a part of my early childhood.
openForum Thread about Worldbuilding races Web Original
I remember finding some sort of thread, either on World Building or Writer’s Block, that was like the Hero and Villain Critique Threads, but for races/species/cultures.
openEpisode of Atop The Fourth Wall Web Original
I don’t remember what he was reviewing, but I think it was either a tv show episode or a movie, and I remember a specific joke he made in the review.
He was joking about a transition effect that seemed silly to him, before the transition happened to him, he began screaming, and when the transition ended he looked disheveled and scared, asking something along the lines of “where did I go?”
Edited by BlueBlazesopenYoutube show about a man in a dinosaur suit Web Original
I’m looking for a weird You Tube show. It was about this guy, who meets this time traveling dinosaur (portrayed as a guy in a cheap dinosaur suit), who can talk (well mostly he just opens his mouth and a long line of words that doesn’t even attempt to match the mouth movement) and likes to punch him. The last episode I remember of it, the dinosaur was sick and they had to find pieces of a healing machine, before they end up accidentally traveling through via a time machine that looked like a Christmas ornament.
resolved Homestar runner cartoon Web Original
I'm looking for a cartoon where Strong Bad has missed a bunch of developments in the other character's lives and ends up freaking out thinking he has somehow traveled to the future only for the end to reveal he spent an entire year, maybe longer, bouncing a ball against the wall. It wasn't a sbemail and it took place during the winter
Edited by dutchguy1986openComedy videos about finding Bigfoot and yeti (probably same person?) Web Original
Around 2011 I saw a live action You Tube video about someone finding a Bigfoot in the woods, sitting sad in front of a tree, and committing suicide, pretty sure with a gun, and is revealed to be holding a magazine or newspaper with really sad news.
In late 2014 I saw another one I think was from the same person, but very similar style if not. Was about the person finding a yeti who started throwing snowballs at them, and might have stole their car and flipped them off or something.
Any idea what these were? The person I saw them with found them unintentionally while looking for serious videos about Bigfoot and yeti sightings. Don't think you could tell they were obvious fake comedy without watching them. Thanks.
Edited by GanSaibouopenMovie trivia website(s) Web Original
Last year or so, I remember using this site that listed off people involved with a movie and told you who had since died and how old the living ones were now. Can't remember if it was the same site or not, but I also remember a feature where you could submit your age and an actor and it would tell you which movies they did when they were your age.
openWeird Old Flash Cartoons Web Original
These were two short cartoons made by the same animator about a dozen years ago. One had a guy say, "There's a lot you don't know about me," before tearing off his disguise to reveal a giant flea that danced to Super Mario Bros. music. The other had a guy getting hassled by flying nautili that were portrayed as inner city thugs.

so well my girlfriend asked me to show her again a video i showed her years ago (before we started dating) on newgrounds thing is i can't find it nowhere. it was something like an anime parody that started with a goth girl playing guitar to a guy on the other window that was trying to sleep when his girlfriend calls him on the phone and ask him something and then he starts running to catch her or something. well the thing is i cant find it and dont remember (it was something about hugs) the name of it could you tell me if you know about it? my girlfriend really liked it and i do want to show it to her again
