Cartoon about a Scottish girl Western Animation
A 2D animated cartoon about a Scottish girl going on adventures... the episode I saw was about the Loch Ness Monster. The show was probably from the mid-late 2000s
Power 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.
Rope foreshadowing Western Animation
I've seen this in a cartoon or more likely an animated movie. The thing is that there is foreshadowing involving a noose and a twist villain. As the twist villain is talking to the hero, before their intentions are revealed, a noose loop is shown before the hero's face. Not on their neck, but the noose is upside down and the loop looks big enough to show the hero's face inside it. I can't explain it very well. But the noose thing is supposed to foreshadow to danger or the twist villain.
Children's Story About A Grey Kingdom Literature
I've tried here before and got no response, so I'll try again. I recall this children's story from when I was around nine or ten, so I assume it was released prior to 2009 (Rough estimate). It was about this man who I think was the king of a kingdom of music and color who wanders into a different kingdom where color and music are banned, so his kingdom is grey and silent. The colorful king gets caught whistling and is imprisoned in a dungeon with a woman who tells him the grey king is going to force her to marry him.
The two escape from their cage and meet another woman, a very confused chief for the grey king who turned dinner into breakfast. Later in the story, some people from the colorful kingdom who are named "Do, Ri, Mi, Fa, So, La, and Ti," that musical scale, go to save their kind. But Mi gets captured and has their voice stolen. So the colorful king says to the guy (who is also mute) that if he gets Mi's voice back, the colorful king with help him get his back.
At the end of the story, the grey king gets tricked into marrying the chief lady instead of the first woman, while the colorful king and the rest of the gang head back to their colorful kingdom.
2D Animated Movie Released Before 2006
I vaguely remember some 2D animated movie from a DVD at my cousin's cottage I watched sometime before 2006 if memory serves me correctly.
The movie has some guy enter a cave and end up sent back in time to an ancient civilization. He meets a woman who is unhappy with her arranged marriage since her betrothed kills pumas when those are precious to her. There's a whole lot of blank in my memory after that, but I do remember that at the end of the movie, the betrothed, who is the main villain, gets thrown off a cliff and the main character returns to his time period together with the woman.
Comedy with a scene involving a suggestive gesture with a garden rake Live Action TV
This is a scene from what I want to say is a tv show, or possibly a web comedy skit, where two guys are in a home improvement store of some description. One of them picks up a garden rake and offhandedly makes a vague gesture while jokingly saying something along the lines of "give her one of these". The other then refuses to move past it and interrogates him on what exactly the gesture was meant to convey and how he was planning to use a garden rake sexually.
I could have sworn it was matt and jay from nirvana/nirvanna the band the show, but I just finished the entire show and apparently not. Searching for "garden rake suggestive gesture comedy scene" hasn't been terribly fruitful, so any help would be super appreciated.
weird shapes and dimensions show? Western Animation
I remember a story from many years ago about a city of 2D shapes, a character named Hex, and the circles ruled the world. However some character that was a square found out there was a 3rd dimension.
Weird movie Film
I saw this movie a while back. There was this girl and three tiny animals. One was a bear I think. And another was a Wolf. Some dude threw the wolf in a fireplace and a human face appeared or something. There was purple mist. I think that’s all I remember
Book series about a boy and his annoying brother Literature
There were at least two-three books in the series, with a spin-off book about a side character.
The first book (and the only one I really remember) was about the main character, the boy, getting a pet turtle, and how he then has to deal with his annoying younger brother. At the end of the story, the younger brother eats the turtle, however the boy is then given a pet dog as a replacement pet, who he then names “turtle”
The boy lives in a small apartment, and his dad worked for a juice company whose products taste really bad.
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.
The Titan Oceanus/Okeanos Film
I remember seeing a picture of a film where he was portrayed by a man in highly unconvincing blue paint, I just can’t find anything on it.
video of Simpsons fancomic remaking treehouse of horror stories
Okay so it was two videos of someone's Simpsons fancomic remaking the I know what you did last summer and Island of Dr. Moreau treehouse of horror parodies but Marge and Lisa had the Most common superpower and the stories were played dead serious. There's no voice work just music. I think I watched in like 2012-2014 and I feel like they were like the old videos but the time I watched them but I may be wrong. Does this ring any bells for anyone ?

Movie poster from this picture? Film
Does anyone recognize the third movie poster from the left in this picture?
https://freeimage.host/i/WGJnm7
I can tell the others are Army of Darkness, Star Wars: A New Hope, The Thing, and Blade Runner, but I don't recognize the other, and the art is way too simple to figure out what it shows, but I figured someone might be able to recognize the style or character?
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"

Richard and judy Live Action TV
Ok this is a long shot. In the early 2000’s there was a afternoon talk show in the U.K. called Richard and Judy on channel 4 they used to run a segment every week talking about books etc. it was a big deal to get your book shown on there. Anyway they ran a couple of competitions where you could get your novel published. One of these competitions was to have a real life story told. I remember one of the finalists was a story about a girl and her sister who walked through WW 2 Germany to escape but the story I’m interested in was about a woman who was trying to drive her possibly drive her friend mad or was stalking her friend and then she tried to blame everything on her friends 3/4 year old child. I know I didn’t dream this I remember the interview they spoke to the victim from behind in a darkened chair etc. my partner thinks I’m making this up but he watched it with me. Did this happen is the story online anywhere as the idea is interesting and I’d like to read more about it for a short story idea I have. Sorry for the long post.
80s movie featuring a snippet of The Cars "Let's Go." Film
Hello All. Hopefully someone can help me remember this movie, because as Morpheus said, it's been a splinter in my mind recently. I saw this movie on cable TV back in the very early 80s, so it had to have been released in the late 70s to very early 80s. As I recall it was a teen angst type of movie. One of the characters was a young lady. Here's what I remember: This young lady had an argument with her parents (Or just Mom, perhaps.) and ran off out of the house. She ended up at some bar, where a man and woman started to try to befriend her, but apparently they were some kind of sexual predators. Somehow they talk her into the car with them, and they have her trapped in the middle of the front seat. They're flying down the road, and the man keeps pawing the young lady. As she's trying to fight him off, he makes the sarcastic remark, "The beast with five fingers, huh?" (Referencing the old sci-fi film.) Well he's not watching the road, and he ends up plowing into the back of a semi. The next thing you know they're wheeling the young lady into the hospital on a gurney. About this time, the soundtrack starts playing The Cars "Let's Go." As the line "She's a frozen fire" plays, the young lady coughs up blood into her respirator and flat lines. That's all I can remember about this movie. And I can't find any references to that song being used in any movie at that time. But I remember that plain as day. (So, apparently they played just enough of the song to get by with Fair Usage.) Anyone remember this movie?
Board game, please? Film
In one scene in the Amazon original movie "The Manor", the main character and her grandson play a horror movie trivia board game with little gravestone pieces. Does anyone know what game it is?

Several Different Works Literature
So, I was browsing online and I found a bunch of comments of people talking about books they couldn't remember the names of. Here are the ones that really intrigued me:
1. "...a book about a boy turning into a yellow bus. The cover really disturbed me as a kid"
2."...a story where a girl drank petrol and turned herself into a car."
3.“Some kid discovered a "new letter" for the alphabet. The letter was this white-skinned, living and sentient creature. For some reason the kid has to keep the letter away from people who are searching for it. At the end, I'm pretty sure the letter is taken away or killed”
4. "I think I remember a story where a kid turns into an inanimate object then dealing sad as their parents ignore them"
5. "children's book... a kid or teenager who was always on their cellphone being transformed into a cellphone with human features at the end."
Does anyone know what these are?
Edit: One more. "I definitely remember, in a similar fashion, a Kafkaesque version of 'I'm a Little Teapot' which has a child grotesquely morphing into a teapot and having relinquished all that made him human by the final illustration...which is just a dainty teapot sitting on a table surrounded by teacups, saucers, and dishes of lemon slices and sugar cubes."
2nd Edit: I found another one "Reminds me of a story of a boy becoming a tree and gets cut down and turned into a cabinet iirc. Gave me nightmares and got paranoid about the furniture watching me." [The second sentence implies that the story said the boy was still aware as a cabinet]
3rd Edit: "An older cousin had a book about a private school and each poem was about a kid enrolled and how they were actually awful (and how they met their end). This sounds like it could have been one of the chapters... But what I'm seeing in the comments is that there were a lot of books like that, apparently. (The poems I remember were about a kid getting eaten by a living arcade machine with a terrifying illustration and an end line something like "BURP! Pac-Man had an early lunch" and a kid who would torment a dog every day, until one day the dog was loose, unbeknownst to them." I only care about the arcade machine one, and NO, it isn't "Cabinet Man"
