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!
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.
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.
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?
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 Has any of it been archived?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.
openRWBY 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.
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 EeveeGirlCheyopenCourage the Cowardly Dog YTP Web Original
Does anyone remember a specific You Tube Poop of the Courage the Cowardly Dog episode “King Ramses’ Curse” where Eustace dials his phone in time with a loud hardcore techno beat? I recall the overall quality of the poop being pretty poor, and it may have been split into two parts. I watched it three years ago or less.
openWhatever 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
openPreschool Website [SOLVED: Boowa and Kwala] Web Original
Alright, in the past, I remember a preschool website that had a colourful dog family (Blue, Purple and Sand Green) and a Yellow Koala family. There were 2 languages, English and French. They also travelled in a hot air balloon around the world for clues to the Yellow character's origin and to find petals that blew away.
It is classified as a website but there are animations and games in it so I consider it a Web Original.
Some people don't know it but I do. It's surprising how I remember it. Do you know what I am talking about? :o)
Edited by Agent2583open[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 KToonzopenSonic 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 123MannCoBoxopenThis... 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?
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?
openFan animated Patapon series on youtube, starring a Zigoton Web Original
Many years ago, there used to be a animated series on YouTube based on the Patapon games. I remember several specific things about it:
- It was fanmade, but near-perfectly mimicked the Patapon art style.
- It (seemingly) took place in an Alternate Continuity in which the Zigotons succeesfully kidnap Meden in the first game, as all of the Patapons are held prisoner by the Zigotons, with the exception of Hatapon.
- The main character was a Zigoton (possibly Makoton), and Hatapon was a background/secondary character.
- The main character was secretly gay for General Gong, and was constantly trying to impress him to no avail, which was Played for Laughs
- The video description for one of the episodes said "I made him gayish for the lols" referring to the main character.
- One episode had a scene in which an imprisoned Patapon notices the main character trying to impress Gong, leading to dialogue that went something like this:
openAnime TV/BD comparison blog (NSFW-ish) Web Original
Around 2012-2013, there was this blog that focused on posting screenshots comparing scenes in TV and BD anime releases. Due to also showing scenes that were uncensored on Bluray, the blog was quite NSFW as a whole. The blog was in English, also the header or sidebar image was a fanart of Hatsune Miku, with her breasts censored until you put mouse cursor over them.
Does anyone remember that blog? It probably went under since then, as I can't find it with google, but just knowing what the url was would be fine.
Edited by interimdisposeopenAnimated 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.

I watched this within the last year (2018/19) on You Tube, so am 99% sure it's an original. There's a caravan of soldiers sent on a quest by a king to catch this guy called "The Wandering Hermit" or something like that. The soldiers all carry spears (and possibly guns) and most of them speak in Mexican accents.
I say Mexican because this is a fantasy show with magic, but the style is Aztec/Mexican. The leader of this caravan which travels in a cloth-covered wagon is a female Aztec/Mexican warrior.
The MC is a white girl with really red curly hair. She carries the soldiers packs the leader really don't want her there. MC speaks in a typical southern drawl and is super cheerful and eager to help out- ths is impeded by the fact that she has no military training and is pretty clumsy.
The setting is best described as the Wild West, but with a king ruling the land and occasional magic. The Wandering Hermit or whatever can bring anything to life by clapping his hands twice- when he does so eyes and sometimes little black stick legs appear on the thing to indicate life. He's not malicious at all- the king is the bad guy for going after him, we're meant to root for him. The Hermit also doesn't speak, just shakes his head and gestures, like in an old cartoon when a character can't speak for some reason.
I remember a few more details if anyone needs them, don't think they're as indicative of the show as the ones I've written out thougg
