The protagonist is a boy living in either Alaska or Canada with his grandfather. He needs to make money (I think his grandfather is sick), and his grandfather won't let him take money out of his college funds. The boy trains his dog as a sled dog and they enter a race for a cash prize. They are about to win and the dog's heart bursts and it dies right before the finish line. Another competitor takes out his gun and threatens to shoot anyone who crosses the finish line before the boy. The boy carries his dog's body over the line.
That was just as depressing to think about the second time.

A couple weeks ago I found some site that was part of the Cheezeburger network that was probably a section of a huge site, it had countless My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic pictures referred to as Bronies instead of memes, but many of them were actually comics like what I expect to find on Deviant Art or 4chan. What site was it?

I didn't catch the name of the show, but I'm curious as to what it was, because it was really funny! It was a comedy program with a bunch of different sketches. One sketch had a grandma talking to a teenager about all of the different drugs she tried when she was their age. The segment started out saying how having a grandma was the newest trend for teenagers. Another had a lady (who was obviously a man in drag) taking her dog for a walk. The dog could talk and told the lady to take off all of her clothes. The lady said she couldn't, they were in a public place. The dog then says that if she loved him, then she'd take off all her clothes. The lady strips down to her underwear and asks the dog if that's what he wanted. The dog then tells her to get in a trash can. Police officers promptly come and arrest the lady. Another sketch had a British couple having dinner at a restaurant for their 40th anniversary. The woman was completely silent the whole time and the man was awkwardly trying to make conversation by saying each and every thing he saw happen or that he did. And the last part—and most disturbing, in my opinion—had two men in a locker room at a gym. They take off their towels and reveal that they are totally naked! (even their private parts were shown! I was in shock at that it was actually uncensored on television, considering it was late-afternoon when this show was on!) Anyways, they start talking about all the women they'd had sex with and even start demonstrating what they did on one another! (Brain bleach, please!) Then one guy begins shaving the other guy's private area with a pink razor. (More brain bleach!) That's pretty much where the show ended. I was really surprised about that last segment but now I must know what this show is! Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Was there ever a webcomic called Road Apples or something along those lines?
There was a girl with bird wings who suddenly popped into existence in the middle of nowhere, and then she had a Fourth Wall breaking conversation with the narrator, who said that anyone who dies stays dead.
zerky tried googling it and there was some Funny Animal comic that wasn't remotely the same thing.

There was a webcomic from a while back that finished up pretty neatly. It was about three friends who had all died at once, and awoke in coffins in the afterlife. They were greeted by an old man whose job it was to greet the newly dead, and since apparently everyone is disbelieving of their being dead at first, he's made a habit of decapitating them with an axe to show them that, yes, they are deceased. They end up fine, of course, as any serious/mortal injuries obtained in the afterlife wear off quickly. Out of the three friends, one of them is a girl, one of them is a dude with white hair (I think his name is Noah, or Moses, or some other old Biblical name), and the last, who is basically the main character, is a dude with short dark hair. In this story, the afterlife they are in is pretty much a huge city, with a retirement village-esque area on the outskirts of the city for the older dead (which the greeter man refuses to go to).

there was a webcomic i saw, it seemed steampunk-ish. i only saw the first few pages, but it was western-style art, long/comic book style format, full colour. two men were sneaking across rooftops in the middle of the night, then one picked the lock to a roof, and they snuck inside to someone's room. they seemed to have the intention of stealing something specific. anyone know?

There's this thing used in YouTube Poop s so much it's not funny, yet I'm still very unclear on what it's from, it's some poorly drawn cartoon with uneven lines that had a cheerful king dressed in orange robs and this guy that looks like Link. What the heck is it from?

In this YouTube Poop
at 20 seconds in a man says "What the heck is this?" and a waiter says "Chicken sir." the man is holding Pinkie Pie who was edited it. Where is it from?
Also in the page image for YouTube Poop in the very upper right corner is some guy I don't know, who is he?

Hey. Looking for a sci-fi show from about 9-10 years ago. I don't remember much, but it was based around a ship and it's crew, some of wich were kids, and their adventures.
It had pretty good effects, and I have a good memory of the main ship. It had large solar sails, and looked a bit like a moth with it's wings spread from the front. Had kind of a dark bronze metal-y colour for the hull.
I also remember some bounty hunters(?) of some kind were trying to steal the main ship, and went around in a redback spider shaped ship. I might be confusing it with Cybergirl here, but I think it had the same two actors for the villans.
I'm pretty sure it was an australian show, and it might have been made by the same people as Thunderstone. Not sure about that. Can't remember what channel it was on.
I've been trying to remember what this was for years, so any help would be great.

A campy horror movie (I believe Foreign/?Argento?) where all of a sudden you did not know what “level” of reality you were in, and nor were the characters sure. I believe it was just before the mid 1980’s Freddie Kruger dream vs. reality era (but possibly concurrent.) It had to do with television – and people watching images of themselves would pop the story level up or down – like infinite regress in opposing mirrors – and as the viewer, you became one of the viable levels incorporated within the story. I was young, but remember thinking “holy cow – that is cool and different”.
All I can think of are: Re-Animator, Suspiria, and Videodrome – but definitely non of those (same era though.)

A Western seen on TV in the mid 70s, probably filmed in the 50s or 60s. It was in color, I think. Only scene I recall is someone demonstrating his Improbable Aiming Skills by shooting at a rotating windmill. 5 shots pass between the blades but one hits with a "ping." Another guy admires his skills as he passed through 5 out of 6, but the shooter admits that he was actually aiming to hit the blades, and only got 1 out of 6.

Back in the 1970s on U.S. television, there was a one-hour cartoon anthology show; it usually contained 5-15 minute episodes of various serial stories. I especially recall an animated adaptation of The Three Musketeers," and a truly disturbing (and faithful to the novel) adaptation of Frankenstein''. There were some other, surprisingly dark mini-serials, mixed in with lighter fare. Most of them, I think, were from different creators.

During the late '70s, there was a mind-punishing Japanese SF import that featured some bizarre female villain in an elaborate get-up. It was about the same time that the Space Giants was being syndicated, but was far more plotless, and it's killing me that I can no longer remember the heroes or any non-villain characters. I believe the show aired in Atlanta on Ted Turner's local UHF channel, which was the precursor to TBS.
Note: This was 15-20 years before the Power Rangers ever aired, so that's not a possibility.

A short film I saw in middle school, 5-7 years ago. A family consisting of two parents, an older sister, and a younger brother come home from overseas and learn that America has become some sort of totalitarian dictatorship. There's something about all of the Amendments, including the Bill of Rights, having been repealed. Women are considered property and election day consists of every man placing his ballot in a box labelled "YES" under armed guard. The government uses Child Soldiers to suppress rebellions, because they believe that, as most of the freedom fighters are women, they Wouldn'tHurtAChild. The family eventually learns a way to leave, can't remember how, but the daughter reveals her desire to stay and join La Résistance. Before they can escape, government goons show up and tell the family that they can go if they leave their son behind, because the president's son needs a heart transplant and he's a perfect match...
I'd like to know the name so I can use it as an example for Billy Needs an Organ.

I saw a Wild Kratts commercial where it showed Chris, Martin and an aardwolf peeking out from some bushes. Can someone please tell me the name of that episode? I absolutely adore aardwolves! They're like miniature striped hyenas that eat insects and are Ridiculously Cute Critters.

I'm looking for an Artemis Fowl fanfic I read a while back. It's after Artemis get's mindwiped, and the whole plot is that his Da wants to spend time with him, but there's so much that Artemis already knows how to do, until he finds out that Artemis doesn't know how to drive. Hilarity Ensues. I've been looking on FF.net, which is where I thought it was from? But I'm not sure about it, so...
Edit Nevermind. Apparently my brain decided to give me the one freaking keyword to search for this fic as soon as I posted. -_-;

There was a collection of horror short stories I remember picking up in a library years ago. The front cover showed the terrified shadow of a kid at the top of the stairs, and we could see that downstairs, there were some autumn leaves blowing into the house through the front door. The front cover's image was from one of the stories in the book, where a boy has to, for one reason or another, rake the front yard of this weird old woman's house. Eventually, the old woman dies, but her spirit comes back to haunt the kid, and the story ends with her entering the house one evening with a bunch of leaves blowing in, and her calling his name. I may have gotten some things wrong about the story, but it has been a while.
Another story in this collection is about a studio exec looking over a movie script sent to him about a young pizza delivery guy (or mechanic, I can't remember which) fighting off giant alien (or mutant) mosquitoes, and eventually triumphing. The story ends with it being revealed that the exec (and presumably his colleagues) are mosquito creatures disguised as humans, and with him saying that he'd love to meet up with the author of the script, and "discuss" it with him.
