Nostalgia Critic Bit with Those Two Guys Web Original
The Channel Awesome fans can help me out here.
The Nostalgia Critic reviewed a live action children's film from the Nineties (I think) where the antagonist has two goons do their dirty work, a fat guy and a skinny guy. The N.C. added his voice to the footage of those two guys so they have a conversation about how villains always employ two henchmen with contrasting body types. There was a line that went something like, "I was just thinkin' how us two guys are in literally every movie."
Which film/episode was that?
this old 3d looking animated cartoon that was discontinued, i cant seem to find the name of it Web Original
there's this one show that keeps haunting the back of my mind, i was obsessed with it as a kid and i keep thinking about it. i used to watch episodes of it on a website that is now discontinued, and if im not wrong it may have been yahooligans but i cant be sure. the show was sort of a 3d style animation and it revolved around 3 characters (maybe more maybe less), but there were ordinary schoolkids during the day, but when alerted of evil villians they would enter this chamber that would transport them to another dimension where they would fight crime? i cant be sure im remembering correctly because it's been so long. i think one of the kids rode a hoverboard while in his superhero clothes, and there was one other boy and one girl i think. the girl might've had a pink suit? there was also a kid that normally operated the "control room" where the chamber transported the kids. there were also games that were made for this show, as well as things like ME Ps on youtube. i did label this as a web original but i truly dont know if it is.
Taylor varga Omake Web Original
I read in the Taylor Varga's trope page about the trope "for halloween I am going as myself" where in an omake Taylor goes to a convention in her Saurial form and I would really like to read it.
A short comic Web Original
I've seen this a couple of years ago in a Facebook group, can't find it anywhere now. It was a single page wordless comic. The idea is, a woman falls pregnant, gives birth, so, due to all the effort, she becomes very frazzled, and the husband leaves her for another woman. Then that woman becomes pregnant... in short, the final panel is her, just as frazzled, alongside the husband, looking at the first woman, now a perfectly neat lady with the child by her side.

YT high school show Web Original
I am looking for a YT high school show. The main characters were boy and girl. In the school there was some application used by all students(treated like some all-knowing entity). The boy(whose mother was someone important at school) was the one controlling it but nobody knew it except the girl. She was extremely manipulative, the candidate supported by her won the school elections despite having virtually no support in the beginning. I also remember that somebody (principal?) killed himself. The girl and boy found out he was recording pupils.
A venquilitrist snow white skit? Web Original
Ok so I'm trying to find a pretty long skit with the Disney princesses acting as 1940 stage performers.The one bit I really remember is 'snow white and the 7 dummies'
Trying to remember a show on YT Web Original
I don't remember the name of the show or the characters but it's about a small group of friends who fight hackers in a game they play and (spoilers) they get to an arena and fight in a 2v2 fashion if that helps. The details I remember from the characters is a loud dragon looking guy wielding a greatsword, a shadow looking guy, and a small blueish character that acts and looks similar to a rogue. Another thing I remember was (spoilers) there were these game devs who accidently made a sentient AI but used it to help build the game world.

Koopa troopa gets a gun? Web Original
This was a (I believe) Flash animation featuring SMW sprites. It involves a Koopa Troopa with a gun killing mario, but without shooting at him. Instead, he just point the gun upwards and fires. On Mario's last life, he asks how the koopa keeps killing him. The screen pans up to reveal the HUD, as the koopa troopa shoots the 1 off of mario's lives (it says 01 and he shoots off the 1, leaving 0). Mario dies once again.
Cartoon Pilot with a sentient robot arcade cabinet, scifi. Web Original
Stumbled upon this short pilot a while ago and can no longer find it :(.
It featured a robot arcade cabinet, whose name was the game's name, who was on the run from something. iirc he's defective and escaping the scrap. He ends up on a junk planet and there's a human(oid) there who helps him reluctantly. I think there was also a big bad alien, kinda like a spider/octopus.
Ad on youtube? Web Original
I remeber seeing a (Very short) ad on youtube a while back. One of these 4 possiblities happened: 1. A saw comes on screen, saws arms out of 2 block of wood, and forms a circle/logo with the arms. 2. A wooden arm saws another arm out of a block of wood, and they form a circle/logo with the saw. 3. A saw saws part of an arm out of a block of wood, and the arm grabs the saw, saws itself, and saws another arm. They form a circle/logo. 4. 2 wooden arms come from oppisite sides of the screen and form a circle with a saw. The saw may have sawed something on the way.
The arms were like those of a drawing manikin and the background was a work table. I believe a logo appeared in the circle formed by the arms.

Does anyone know a youtuber who uses a lot of orange and blue in his animations? He recently deleted a video about getting lost supermarkets?

An old internet meme Web Original
I surprisingly can't find anything on this meme. It was an art meme from Deviantart that was everywhere circa 2006-2008. I remember there were multiple cubes where the artist would rant against fan misconceptions, like "Naruto is... not in love with Sasuke".
Investigate My Murder Webcomic Web Original
I ran across a few years ago an interactive webcomic where a man stumbled into a police station asking them to investigate his murder. You have to piece together who did it and why. (The suspects included a student of his and his wife.) I also remember that the soundtrack included Angel by Massive Attack and Wishing Well by Morphine.
Can anyone help me find this?
Super Mario 64 Machinima Web Original
Probably would have been around 2006-07, and it was a series of Super Mario 64 machinima on Gamestop's website, though it was probably on YouTube and/or Machinima.com as well. It told a story using on-screen dialogue similar to supermarioglitchy4, but I don't think it was by him, or at least I haven't been able to find it on his channel. It told the story of Mario trying to save the "glitching" game (I believe episode 2, for instance, had star textures all over the entrance hall of Peach's Castle). One episode had the sound go out from the glitching, and it was replaced my Michael Jackson music, which many fans didn't like to the point where he uploaded an alternate version in which "Mj's [sic] beat has been taken out" (as said in the description, or something along those lines).

UK Anti-Bullying Website Web Original
I remember finding this anti-bullying website (ironically, while trying to find a completely different anti bullying website with different characters) with several different characters talking about their experiences being bullied: one is a Traveller girl whose father has died, one is a gay teen boy hiding his sexuality, etc. I’ve searched the web but can’t seem to find it. The webpage was a kind of grayish blue color, with the drawings of the characters not having any color. Any idea where I could find this?
A certain Phoenix Wrong? Web Original
Okay, so there was a Phoenix Wrong I watched on Youtube, and I remember it starting with "We Will Rock You," and some time in the middle there was Trucy and Apollo doing this one thing where Trucy started singing "Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. How are you?" and then Apollo was all "I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine." and there were lots of comments about this. If you could link me to it, that would be nice! Thanks! Note: My history was turned off, so yeah....
A GoAnimate video that I remember watching Web Original
I remember seeing one of those "X gets grounded Y (time) in a row" videos, where the troublemaker's dad has the Diesel voice, and each onscreen day ends with that dad appearing, set to the "cheer" animation, and simply saying "you are grounded". Sometimes, he appears in the most absurd ways, such as on thin air, or in some enclosed, hazardous, or lost place.

Purple Guy and (red? green?) Guy- Web Series ANIMATION Web Original
So this is literally driving me insane. There was a web series that was animated, very simple 2D animation. It had a purple guy who was made of circles, or at least his head was a circle, and this other guy who was either red or green with a head shaped like a hershey kiss/water droplet/flame. I can remember there was an episode where they found a robot and played hide and seek with it but the robot didn't understand hide and seek so it just stood there. They didn't speak English, they kind of made "baaap baaap bap bap baaaap" noises or like computerized voices, I can't remember that well. There were English "subtitles" though. The robot didn't talk, it just made beeps and boops and like pressurized air noises. I also think there was an episode that involved a gun or knife??? I feel like there may have also been a yellow guy but they hated him. It always took place outside, too. I think it was an itunes video podcast at some point, but I remember it also had episodes that weren't on itunes and on a separate website. [EDIT] thinking back more I think the voices sounded like vocaloid almost

Youtube Animation about RPG Style Adventurers? Web Original
I remember I found this really funny animation on youtube which took place in an RPG style world. It was about these heroes for hire. There was a nerdy mage I think, an edge lord kind of guy maybe, and also a fighter who had two moms apparently. The only job they could find, however, was from this sort of valley girl type person i think? And they had to get her cat out of a tree, I'm fairly certain. Then they end up meeting this girl who's also a fighter type character. She wants to join, but they don't want another fighter. That's all I remember from there. I also remember it being really funny I guess. But that's subjective. I just liked it more than some other rpg based youtube animations, and I wanna see if the series was ever continued. It came out around 2015-16 or something

Kind of like worm but she controls plants, fungus, and mold instead Web Original
It starts of with this girl in an abusive family with a drunk father, a mother who essentially acts as a jobless housewife to please him, and a brother who she quickly finds just joined some gang; eventually she notices she has some kind of power, tries to stand up for herself against her father who got himself drunk again because he was just fired. He beats the crap out of her,she freaks out which unlocks her power and she accidentally kills her mother and father by growing spores in their lungs. she then runs away fearing she may be caught by her worlds' police or superheroes. eventually she starts using her power such as with kudzu vines as weapons, and bamboo as armor after finding people she can trust the story even has some sort of machine intelligence thing that gives people powers like the things in worm, but there's also some fantastic racism against supers by some people. The girl also gets some kind of name involving plants but it's kind of n obscure one i think.
