Metal Gear Solid parody in the form of a Codec conversation. The Colonel calls Snake in the middle of an important mission to invite him to a Tyler Perry movie. The Colonel says something like, “Yeah, in this one Medea goes to jail and—” before losing connection, ending with, “SNAAAAAAKE!”
Edited by PurpleEyedGumaPower Rangers Team up fanfic Web Original
There’s this Power Ranger fic where Dino Thunder teams up with several other Ranger Teams including an OC team. Trent the White Dino Ranger dies cause the author doesn’t know how to write him or something. One Ranger ends up in Super Sentai universe where he meets the Gokaigers. The Timerangers apparently gave Gokai Silver something so the Gokaigers would know about future teams.
Watchmojo episode Web Original
I want to make a D To S page about them but I can't remember the episode. It was an episode where they thought a man mourning his niece was silly.
fictional unaired police procedural pilots [SOLVED] Web Original
there was this tumblr blog that just posted summaries of fictional pilots of police procedurals with absurd premises (set in caveman era, starring particular political figures, etc.) and occasionally describing works that aren't police procedurals as though they were. i'm pretty sure it has its own tvtropes page but i can't find it. i think it was called something like "the police procedural archive"
Edited by iwantedtoaddsomethingMid 2000's omedy website starting with a Z Web Original
I remember there was a website with a name starting with z that had articles about various pranks and funny experiments on it. The most famous thing they did was do that whole incident in Everett, WA where they changed the traffic sign to mention aliens. I also remember they tested out various substances for enemas, went looking for the world's worst cocktail, and combined various drugs of opposite nature to see which one would win in affecting your body.
Edited by DrunkenRockLeeYoutuber of animation with titles always having the same letters Web Original
I don't remember the name of this Youtuber. Is a woman, is blonde, uses glasses, reviews mostly animated media, her intro has her in different clips including one in animation and another of herself in stop motion touching a pumking, and all the titles of her videos use the Added Alliterative Appeal something like this: Nighmare Before Christmass Fantastic Film.
Stories Web Original
I remember seeing this videos with stories of kids who got injured. In the video, it said “these are stories of kids who have survived accidental injury.” One of the stories involves kids who were not hurt in a car crash because of seatbelts. Another involved a kid who almost drowned, but was saved. Does anyone know this?

I remember watching an ABC news video about when I was younger called Not So Kid Friendly Websites. It was about how a mother’s kid acceded inappropriate website through the Nickelodeon website. Is there any way I can access the video?
Modern/recent tv series about the old west Web Original
I was in an airplane and a couple of rows in front of mine, someone was watching a show ( I know it was from some sort of series) in which a man leaves a women in the middle of a lone road( out in the country) demanding that she makes a “choice” of some sort, he then proceeded to get on his horse and ride a way. She seems to have a difficult time deciding on what to do. The next scene shows the woman coming through the front door of the man’s( the one whom had left her behind earlier) house after dark! The man proceeded to serve her food , poured water in to a pan in order to wash her blistered feet since she had apparently walked for several hours.
I didn’t have the opportunity to hear the audio, and there were no subtitles ! There for I really would like to find out what the hole “ drama was about!
Any one…?

Edited by FarsidefanBlue's Clues parody Web Original
I remember watching this Blue's Clues parody video many years back. What I remember is that the plot revolved around the protagonist/Steve stand-in hallucinating the whole thing, and it involved a "drinking chair" instead of a "thinking chair", and the Blue stand-in was a girl in a dog costume named "Sunshine" or something similar. One scene I do remember is "Sunshine"/whoever the dog was called shooting the Steve stand-in, causing him to wake up from the hallucination. I also remember that the scenes set in the "real world" involved a whiteboard.

Nintendo Characters x WWE = Prototype Smash Bros. Smack Talk-A-Rama?! Web Original
There used to be a fan site of Nintendo characters in plotlines where they'd fight each other. Kind of like Smash Bros. but instead it would be prefaced with a lot of WWE-like fanfare. I understand there are animated series like Cartoon Beat Box Battles and it's likely Celebrity Deathmatch or Robot Chicken dipped their toes into Nintendo I Ps, but I'm specifically referencing a website where all of this was written. An example follows:
"LAKITU: Welcome Back To The Toadstool Stomp Invitational. If you're just now joining us, Slippy Toad and Luigi are really giving each other the one-two.
LUIGI: The only reason they a-call you Slippy, is a-because you roofied Peppy into giving you a jet to fly.
SLIPPY: At least I'm an NPC with personality. You're always going to be Controller 2!"
The design of the website was a little tacky but the logo looked cool. With Kamek the Magikoopa at the end! I wonder if it's still active or at least preserved on the Wayback Machine.
Lemme know if ya know. Thanks!
Edited by DannyArchilaFood cutting flash game Web Original
I remember my cousin playing this food cutting flash game on the computer. What I remember was that you had to cut fruits and you had to do well on it. There would be voices that would say yay if you did it right and boo if you did it wrong. Does anyone know this game?
Web Series about a rude cubicle worker who is an asshole to his coworkers Web Original
Okay... so years and years ago there was this web series about this cubicle worker who was always a dick to his coworkers.
Basically each episode was a scenario of things that happen at an office and how he would act tactless and sarcastic and rude whenever the coworkers tried to engage with him.
The two episodes I most vividly remember are the one where he refuses a coworker's wedding invitation and one where another coworker tries to set him up with their friend, and he keeps hammering them with questions until its revealed that the friend in question is a recently divorced single mother with several kids, which he then shuts the conversation down and refuses to continue despite the coworker begging him to give the girl a shot.
I remember the entire show being pretty funny at the time and have wanted to catch up on it, but despite some exhaustive searching I cant seem to find it ANYWHERE.
Does anyone else know what this show might be and could help refresh my memory a little bit!
Thank you so much in advance!
Online animation about real soda that could be different flavors depending on how one opened it Web Original
I may have found it via Pointless Sites or Explorable Explanations
. It was a minimalistic artstyle animation (no shading, lineless, clean shapes) detailing a person's real experience with this sort of soda that flavored itself with the cap, if I remember right, or it just depended on how you opened it.
EDIT: If you know the name of the soda, that might help me find the animation.
YouTube video about the current state of animation. Web Original
I remember a few years ago I watched a video on You Tube talking about the current state of modern animated movies. This was an English video, I might say American English, and was released between or after the hate-train that was the Emoji Movie (So, 2016-2017). I remember specifically that it was a video in the style of the Krusty Krab Training Video. I vividly remember that the beginning of the video was a parody of the Emoji Movies trailer (and the whole film in general) where instead of emojis there were Grey blobs and a product placement robot. The intro parody was called "The generic movie" if I remember correctly. The title was along the lines of "How to make your own modern animated movie" or something.
Conversions of TV show footage into a compressed format Web Original
I've been trying to figure out these weird videos done by this guy. They involved him playing clips from TV shows played through some software that compressed them with almost 8 bit-looking video and ridiculously sped-up audio. What I remember most is him playing a conversion of the Sponge Bob intro (IIRC he may have also done one for the intro for the original Thunder Cats). Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
Spooky song in meme video, sounds like video game music Web Original
Does anyone know the name of the spooky music in this meme video
? I asked the uploader, and they didn't know. I guess they reuploaded this from another website or something.
It sounds like something out of a video game, possibly one of the Mario Party games.
