openGordon Freeman for Smash Web Original
I'm looking for a Youtube video that explains the creator's most wanted characters for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. In the first pick, he explains that he likes how the series represents different consoles like Sega, Playstation, Neo Geo and that we haven't got a PC rep yet. He chose Valve and from the studio came Gordon Freeman from Half-Life.
openSubverted Kids' Show relying on heavy toilet humor Web Original
When I was little, I vividly remember watching a very bizarre animated web series on YouTube. It was pretty short, and there were about two or three of these animations that I saw. These animations were made at least before 2012, and are definitely either from the 2000s or the 2010s. They're all in 2D, and I recall the series having a lineless art style. They were most likely reuploads/reposts of Flash animations, because I also recall there being an intro at the beginning featuring the company name along with their website, which hosted these animations and other content (I recall frogs having something to do with the website's branding and name); the intro featured the logo and the protagonist reading it out loud with some tagline attached to it. I remember the name of the series being something along the lines of Potty Time, but when I look up the name on YouTube, I find a bunch of irrelevant stuff. The series was some kind of Subverted Kids' Show combined with Toilet Humor, and could definitely qualify as What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?. As for what the videos were about, this is what I could remember off the top of my head:
The first video had pretty crunchy audio quality (most of the videos did too, probably because they were most likely animated in Flash). Its protagonist was a young girl with pale skin and short black hair. She was wearing pajamas (purple ones, I think) and was standing in a bathroom, facing the audience. The bathroom was green if I recall. She then talks to the audience about something, and then she would go sit and pee in the toilet with her pajamas on for some reason. After she finishes using the toilet, the toilet comes to life and gets angry at her, and that's where the video ends.
The second video was a sequel to the first video; the protagonist appears again here and most of the events from before are repeated here, and I think she was dressed up as a princess? It was probably some kind of Halloween animation, and this one was even shorter; she talks about pooping or something and then just as she is about to use the toilet, the toilet comes to life once again and cusses her out, and that's where the animation ends.
If anyone here knows what this webseries was called and if they've also seen these videos, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Edited by kosquaredopen[SOMEWHAT SOLVED] Skylanders Animation with the tortured mass of flesh. Web Original
As a child, I remember seeing a Skylanders Swap Force animation on You Tube. It is a parody that was based on crude humor.
The scene that I remember was when a child placed his hand on the portal along with half of a Wash Buckler toy.
He is transported into the game and turns into a massive tumor like creature. His "catchphrase" is screaming and shitting himself.
As soon as he enters the skylands he says "KILL ME. WITH FIRE!!!!!".
Edited by LavafallopenMocap Bugs Bunny animation. Web Original
This is an odd request, but here it goes: I'm looking for a 3d mocap animation of Bugs Bunny that was prominently featured in the classic Christmas special: Skellington's Revenge. I remember there being a link to the animation in the video, but it was in annotations and is now lost thanks to youtube getting rid of them. Any help?
openArticle about chinese/korean pay to win game Web Original
A few years ago I read an article telling the story of a woman who signed up for a heavily monetized game, the thing is I cannot remember the name of the game but I do remember the rest of its title: Gambling your life away in (game).
In the article, the woman tells the story about how she started as a low level character and once she got lucky by landing the last hit on a high level military dude making her the queen of her realm. After this she got tired of how the game encouraged PVP at every opportunity to see who would spend more money and finally she quit the game.
Edited by NaspahopenNo Title Web Original
I am looking for a very specific old youtube video with Tensou Sentai Goseiger (so at least 13 years old at most) that show a montage of the show's mech up to Hyper Gosei Great with only music in the video. I know it probably is deleted long ago since it is that long ago, but I wanted to see if it's still up or not.

openOnline video about how using the toilet can kill? Web Original
A video on (as far as I can remember) the children's section of some publishing company like Simon and Schuster. I never actually watched the video in question (I was too scared to as a kid), but I remember that the thumbnail featured a puppet of some sort (I believe it was a chicken, but I'm not entirely sure) and that the video was titled something along the lines of "using the toilet can kill" or "your bathroom can kill you". I was recently reminded of the video's existence and wanted to see if I could find it and finally watch it.
openA piranha plant as a main character Web Original
It is an animation in youtube and with a TV Trope space.
If i remember correctly a Mario Bros animation with a piranha plant who was raised in the mushroom kingdom who later grow up with a design very similar to Petey Piranha but with clothes.
openTwo early 2010s Minecraft series Web Original
This is a bit different from most of these, but i recall two of the first Minecraft series i watched somewhat, and i may me mixing up some details between the two, so i'm combining these into one comment.
I watched was a You Tube series by a family, the son had the channel but his sister and dad were playing with him. I remember them joking about "hat trees" and talking about their mom making food or something, and i remember them building a house. I think this was pre-hunger bars, so likely early 2010s. I watched this in 2016 or so, and when i opened the channel, the featured video was a Minecraft video related to an anime series, maybe a map taking place in a school? The second series i remember was by a guy playing hour+ long episodes on a singleplayer series. I remember the videos having a facecam in the corner. He spawned on an island and had a "trusty diamond hoe", but it later broke. He had a larger house than he thought he needed ((as at that time, most houses were just item storage, furnaces, and a crafting table)), i think he had a mine in his house, and later in the series he boated out to another island to bring a sheep(?) over to his island. I think his channel name was something related to a crocodile/alligator.
That's all i've got at the moment, i'll update this if anything else comes to mind.

openAnime intro recreated with windows xp sounds Web Original

open6 Most Wanted Fighters Web Original
A Youtube video on the top 6 most wanted fighters for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. The video was made before the DLC content for the game ended.
The picks included Sans from Undertale, Tracer from Overwatch, and Spyro the Dragon. They suggested that Sans would throw bones as an attack, and that Spyro should be based on his Playstation games.
openSomething on Youtube about Pokemon. Web Original
Basically, all I remember from it is that there were two Shaymin- one mimicking Sonic the Hedgehog and one mimicking Shadow the Hedgehog. Or maybe not- the point is they were differently colored, but i’m not sure if that was the joke. It was dark out (very black and orangey), and the Shadow Shaymin was on a building or something, or otherwise just higher up than the Sonic one. They were having a monologue or fight of some sort, and at the end, one of the Shaymin gets mauled by a Fennekin.
Edited by CinnominopenMinecraft music video (with BajanCanadian and JeromeASF?) Web Original
This was an animated Minecraft music video uploaded (on You Tube, presumably) at some point between 2015-2019; as far as I can remember, it was about Bajan Canadian and Jerome ASF fighting the Ender Dragon, and it was either a parody of or set to the song "Long Way Down" by Robert De Long. I've tried searching for it myself, to no avail; it may have been deleted between now and then, or I'm just misremembering the details. If anyone remembers this video and has any more information about it, I'd be very glad to hear it.
open"Yoshi's Island" parody song Web Original
I'm looking for a musical web animation that parodies Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Right off the bat, this is not Brentalfloss's song
, but it's similar in that it's animated and uses the "Athletic" theme from the game as the basis for the instrumentals. It was probably uploaded not long after the Brentalfloss version.
I only really remember little details about how the animation starts, but enough to say the following; Yoshi is outside when Baby Mario is dropped on his back, much like in the game. Yoshi looks at Mario for a few seconds as the music kicks in, then he turns to the camera and starts singing about how Mario just got dropped onto his back.
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance.
Edited by SparkPlugTheTroperresolved A short story on deviant accompanied by a drawing showing a girl petrified in a cave or on a beach Web Original
What I remember: A short story on deviantart about a girl who goes to a beach or a cave and enjoys it so much that she wishes to stay there forever. As a result she turns into a fully aware statue. She remains that way forever. The story really played up the And I Must Scream aspects of being petrified.
The short story had a drawing of the petrified girl either in a beach or in a cave
openOld sprite animation with Wario in the bathroom Web Original
There was a sprite animation video that I'm pretty sure I saw sometime in The 2000s. I'm almost certain it was a compilation of Mario shorts, but I know it was done with sprite animation. I just remember one short:
Several Mario characters are in line for an outhouse. The camera pans to the left to show them all. I distinctly remember that a Koopa Paratroopa from Yoshi's Island was in the line.
Once the camera reaches the outhouse, you hear some fart sounds, then Wario says "So ein mist!" (Like me, I think the creator thought he was actually saying "D'oh, I missed!") Then everyone in line looks shocked/horrified, and that's it.
Yeah, it's childish, but it's still a memory I want to unlock.
It's not Living With Wario Episode 2

Okay, I got a random one for you guys:
So, there's this fan animatic I'm looking for based on the Welcome Home ARG. In this case, the animatic is an argument between Wally and Barnaby using audio from Neon Genesis Evangelion, specifically the elevator scene where some girl calls a humanoid robot an emotionless wind-up doll. In the animatic, Barnaby is yelling at Wally, Wally gets upset and runs to Home for comfort.
I thought this was part of the Greyscale Wally AU by Your Resident Bee on Tumblr, but I couldn't find it, so I'm thinking it might not have been them or they deleted it. I'm not sure.
Yes, this is weird. This is just what happens when you spend a lot of time on the web. You find weird stuff.
