I'm looking for a movie that had a scene where a man in a cowboy hat was peeling or washing potatoes, and then started talking to a woman in a orange two or three piece dress, and then they started having sex in the kitchen.
openKid's cartoon Western Animation
setting is vaguely post apocalypse or maybe during a war, main character rides a giant pig like creature, another character rides a bat, there are airships used by some faction. I probably watched this in the early to mid 2000s
openTrying to remember a surreal Fantasy FPS Mod Videogame
Salvete fellow tropers, I'm looking for an old video game that was very unique but had an impossible to remember name. As the title suggests, it was an FPS Mod (Unreal or Quake I think) with a semi fantasy setting where nothing looked human, your character was a floating, one armed wizard/demon thing (and I think the main villain all along?), and everything was generally alien looking like Oddworld or Zeno Clash. I think the name started with a "Z". I'm kinda new at posting here on the forums so if you have any advice on that as well, please share (I originally posted this on the forums, I'm that new)
openRace-swap movie Film
I'm trying to find a film I watched a long time ago in which a black man and a white man "swap" race groups (via special makeup) so they can date the women they liked (who liked the other). In one scene, the white man (disguised as the black man) dropped a fake eyeball into a person's drink.

openA Children's Book about Bears (?) Literature
Does anyone remember this children's book (80s or 90s?) about these two little bears siblings (90% sure they were bears). Their parents went out for the evening and then the bear children got really scared because they thought there was a monster outside, and they couldn’t wake up their babysitter who kept sleeping on a comfy chair.Eventually, their parents came back and they found out the monster was just a kite that got stuck in a tree and then they all ate cookies. I'm pretty sure the big babysitter bear says "me three" when the parents ask who wants cookies. It s driving me absolutely insane trying to remember. Please ease my pain. Thank you.
openTentacles and portals Videogame
Hi guys. I'm looking for a game (if I remember correctly it is 2D and has graphics like Final Fantasy VI) where there is one or more example of monsters that are basically tentacles that peek outside a dimensional rift. Please help
openNosebleed death?
I watched an adults sci-fi to show a few years ago, and by a few I mean anywhere between 2010-2015. I don't know much, but here is what I have: Right so there are scientists in a lab, and they are trying to solve these murders, but they discover these murders are minuscule robot 'bugs' which 'infiltrate' the mind, and once they have started 'killing' their victim, they cause the victim to have a nosebleed and this nosebleeds blood moves, like once it's on the floor it like spreads a lot move than usual, I also remember them finding out a pattern in the targets and the next target being one of the group of scientists, and them having an ice 'bath'/'box' ready for when the 'bugs' started trying to 'infiltrate' the mind. I hope you can help
Edited by HollyDrew12openLearning Company Game? Videogame
A game we played on the old Apple computers in elementary school. This was prior to the 2001-2002 school year, when those computers were replaced with iMacs. You played as a Sherlock Holmes expy (deerstalker, pipe, etc.) wandering around an old house. If you talked to an NPC, they'd ask you a math problem. Solve it, you got a clue to solve the murder (I think). The graphics were 2D cartoons, but rather well-done. Does anyone know the title? It might have been made by The Learning Company, but I'm not certain.
openHeck if I know Literature
I'm trying to remember a book I read in my youth, the title of which escapes me. All I remember is a scene in which one of the main characters is put through a grueling series of ethical and moral situations to determine if he is suitable to be king. One of the first is set up as follows:
Two people are affixed to a scale, which is set up in such a way that if you save one, the other will be lowered into the ocean, drowning them before you can get the first to safety and then return. He manages to bypass the situation by using the scepter he carries as proof of kingship to jam the scales, allowing him to save both people.
openVideoGame Music Video Music
So i have really brief memories of a music video that aired on VH 1. It was Video game styled and it was about a big yellow bird with no arms and purple legs, who went through levels rescuing portraits of various celebrities and there was a giant spider boss, who when defeated turned good and became rainbow colored and then they went to the beach together.
openAnimation about a princess that ran away from arranged marriage Western Animation
The animation starts with the older sister riding back to her palace on a horse, and her father told her to quickly wear a dress because two princes that he arranged for her and her younger sister are coming. The princes arrive and the younger sister is happy and will get marry to the prince but the older sister ran away from the palace while the princes are there because she didn't like it that her father decides for her. The prince she's suppused to marry followed her and she wanted him to go away but they end up going through adventures and eventually falling in love. Also, there's a witch lady with a *fuggy crystal ball that has a red heart* in it. The witch always tried to make them break up and hurting them. In the red heart that's inside the crystal ball there was a crack that grew bigger every time she succeed until it'll tore apart
openI'm starting to think I made it up Western Animation
There are kids, maybe teenagers, who go into a world under their bed where things are scary (it is not the movie Little Monsters). There is maybe a roller coaster involved. It's not Little Nemo either. I've found a few things close, but they all came out after 2000. I watched it sometime around 1985-92. I know this sounds like it's definitely Little Monsters, but I've watched it since this has been bugging me and it's definitely not what I'm thinking of here.
openA YURI TYPE MANGA WITH A GIRL WITH GLASSES AS THE PROTAGONIST? Anime
I remember reading it so long ago, the protagonist was a freckled(?) short dark blonde haired glasses wearing girl who didn't understand the big deal of relationships and the like, or wanted one really badly. it involved cell phones, dealing with rumors and her meeting a girl with a bad reputation, she had long black hair and isolated because it was rumored she had sex with guys. last time i read i was near the part where the protag starts to realize something is off with her feelings towards the other girl. I think it may have had something to do with strawberries in the title? Either way it was maybe about ten chapters and unfinished, but it seemed to have been created Very Long Ago.
Things I remember about it, very old art style, like Yu Yu Hakusho, with all the little things about 90s manga.
The protag had these really iconic dad glasses! like these :

The other character looked at lot like hell girl but with dark eyes.
Their school outfits were a plain short sleeved button up blouse with plaid skirts.
It was under the Yuri tag.
openSalt pillar Videogame
Hi guys! Some years ago I stumbled upon the wikia of some games and, If I remeber correctly, under the section "objects" or "creatures" there was a thing called Salt Statue or maybe Salt Pillar. I'm sure it was the crystallized body of a once-living thing. The game had the graphics of Tibia or Space Station 13. Please help
openA book that I am almost positive was called "Jeb" or "Jed" Literature
Okay, so when I was a kid, my dad used to get my books on tape from the library constantly. There's 1 book I listened to about 15+ years ago that I SWEAR is real but I have not heard about ot since despite constant googling. So the book is about this boy called either Jeb or Jed, but I'm pretty sure it was Jed. The book is a diary in the style of Go Ask Alice but it's not a true story and as the days go by Jed is revealed to be suicidal (my dad didn't realise this when he gave it to me and confiscated it shortly after I finished it) and the rest of the book is him documenting his suicide plan and getting things in order. He buys his sister, who is an Elvis fan and a bit of a free spirit, some apple seeds and blue suede shoes for her birthday a few days before he goes through with his plan. He kills himself by taking a large dose of sleeping pills and jumping off a bridge into running water. As it turns out, he survives and the last pages are narrated by his little sister. The most vivid memory I have is the last line being "Instead you picked a rotten apple, you didn't see the blossoms. Maybe someday you will." Is anyone thinks this sounds remotely similar, please let me know! I know this book exists but I can't find it!!
open80's/90's toddler/kids show Live Action TV
Saw this on a couple of VHS's when I was very young. It had a bright orange intro card, which opens into a live-action someone in an elephant costume sitting at a desk, and in one episode it cut away to an animated Einstein-looking guy counting the numbers 1 to 10 and what they look like; this guy's probably a recurring character but I'm not sure. Thanks for any help!
openObscure Children's Show Live Action TV
I've had this burning in the back of my brain. I used to have a VHS as a little girl with either a frog or turtle mascot as the lead. It was educational, almost PBS like. If I remember correctly it was set in some sort of play room or tree house that had stairs theat looked like piano keys. I remember one episode where it talked about Indy Cars and threw out the name Andretti. I looked up the Andretti bros and they do not have any tv credits that pop out to me. Please help!! Also I'm sure it's not Gullah Gullah Island and almost sure it's not Out of the Box.
