openBritish advert with giant baby in car park
I recall seeing this advert in the early 2000s. A man was in an office building taking a phone call. He looked out through the window at the car park (parking lot) and there was a huge baby/giant realistic doll sitting in the centre of it. I can't remember what it was advertising or any of the words said and it's been bugging me for a while now.
openBee Scouts? Western Animation
I vaguely remember this cartoon on Nickelodeon about a young girl that was in some Girl Scout troop involving bees somehow. And she had this ugly looking dog and an imaginary friend she talked to that was a smiley face drawn on her finger. The animation was kinda weird looking too. Anyone else remember this?
openA scene from the end of a movie or TV show Film
I remember catching the end of this on TV as a kid. It was a colour movie or show, but I remember it looking rather old. It was a long shot of a party/ball scene in a hall building with a fountain in the centre. The strangest part was the old Citroen van hanging from the ceiling with a stream of water shooting from its radiator into the fountain. I have no idea what this was and I would like to find out. I should note that there is a possibility this was something my young mind had dreamed up, but if anyone can confirm that this is from a show/film that exists I would be extremely grateful.
openElbowpads and Mole Puppets Live Action TV
In Math Class, I think in Middle School, the teacher showed a clip from some odd show. It started with a man in a suit rubbing a magic elbow pad, which changes the theme from a classic kids' show type setting to a darker, creepier show with kids in a mansion (that have a bunch of numbers floating about in the intro, but that doesn't happen). The man introduces himself as Bad Max, and the kids have to solve a math problem. At some part, it cuts to Elbow Pad Max, who teaches something like subtraction with red string and a purple mole puppet. Any of this familiar?
openResident Evil Game(?) Videogame
So, I remember watching my older brother play a rail-shooter Wii game, which my memory pins as a Resident Evil game. I only remember my brother getting very frustrated when fighting this one monster because he couldn't get it into the sunlight, which I guess is what you're supposed to do. I remember hearing a woman's voice saying something along the lines of "Aim for it's mouth!" and I think maybe she said "Get it into the sunlight!" I vaguely remember the "Mouth" monster looking like an alligator, while the "Sunlight" one was some kind of blob monster chasing you through a dark hallway. My memory sucks because it's been years. 2007-2008 is the range I'd put it.
Edited by Blazer_the_Delphoxopen2D animation with scary machine Western Animation
Hey all, I just remembered a cartoon I saw as a child. It had a villain who had a machine; I don't remember the purpose but it was basically a torture device. It did multiple things but the one I remember was it bolting a metal plate onto the victim's mouth. There wasn't any gore or anything. The victim was able to like get the metal plate off by stretching their mouth around cartoonishly. Eventually the machine broke down before it got to whatever it was supposed to do. At the end of the cartoon, the villain was stuck in the machine, and it worked but the screen faded to black before it got any further.
Honestly it was pretty frightening as a kid and probably still pretty frightening by my standards today, but I'd like to find it again if only to scratch the itch of not knowing what it was. Thanks!

openRacist children's cartoon? Western Animation
It was on in about 2008, so I was shocked that this was on. It had a preschool girl and her mother in a car and the girl asks "what's a papoose?" and the mother says that it's a "little brown Indian baby".

openKid's TV Show Film
There was a TV show i used to watch. I remember it being similar to Bo On The Go. It was all entirely set in a white space. That's all I remember? It was animated and I think it was the name of the main character's name (there was pretty much only one character). I think it was called something that didn't sound English but I have no idea.

Edited by JorgeNin64openNew fantasy series
Trying to find name and network of new tv series. What I remember: plantation owners where the slaves, all races, Harvest a certain drug crop. Strong male slaves train as warriors for the plantation owners. One particular owner has a diease that is killing his brain. His head trainer is of Asian decent and gets the local doctor pregnant which is not allowed. They are planning their escape with the help of a young boy with powers he doesn't understand. It started in 2015 or 2016. Not sure what network it's on either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
openCartoon show Western Animation
I remember watching a cartoon show when I was younger that aired on Disney Channel (I think). The main characters (I think) were a white male rabbit (that smelled his feet in the intro or something :/) and a female dog(?) with yellow hair (or ears?) and they lived in a treehouse. One episode I remember a little is that the two main characters started having a disagreement and they ended up drawing a line between them. Then at the end (or close to the end), one if the main characters stepped on the line and the entire treehouse fell.
That's all I can remember unfortunately. I would appreciate it if someone could help me find the show I'm looking for!
openPokémon Mystery Dungeon: Light Adventure Squad Let's Play Web Original
I remember coming across a Let's Play of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Light Adventure Squad. I don't remember who uploaded it, but his Team consisted of a Meowth and a Mareep. (Aleex and Aleex, unless I'm thinking of another Let's Player.) He named his Team "Samurai", written using kanji. Help?
openUnkown city creator game for PC Videogame
I remember playing this game a long time ago at my friend's house. It was a city creator game, for the PC. It had an isometric perspective and had graphics similar to rollercoaster tycoon 2, even the poeple who walked around on the city streets looked like the people from rct2. There weren't many options of things to build; I remember you could make houses, churches, harbors, and probably some other things. Your houses start off as shacks but then can get upgraded until I assumed they eventually became skyscrapers. Everything seemed to look white. And no, it isn't transport tycoon. Anybody know this?
EDIT: I think I played it around the early 2000's, But I think it may have been older than that because of the graphics. I'm beginning to ponder the possibility that it was a game available only on the internet, on some now-dead link or something impossible to track down like that.
Edited by greatgodofmineworldopenAny idea what this is from?
Is this form some movie, or a Ramones music video or something, or what? Thanks. [1]◊
Edited by ProbeMeRogerSmithopenFind me these country songs? Music
Some country songs I remember from when I listened all the time for most of the 2000s. These are (unless otherwise noted) songs I remember vanishing from the radio after a few months or so:
- A song from '05 or '06 by a male singer about having a woman(probably wife) who loves to drink a lot more than he does. Not Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off.
- A ballady song from '02 or '03 by male singer that had something to do with in my heart, and some other organ.
- A song I only heard one time in March 2006(pretty sure, but could have been July) on a country top 40 countdown on vacation as one of the first songs on the list. It was a male singer, and about talking to a woman who didn't know anything about country music, and brought up Alan Jackson, and the woman saying something about "Didn't he sing that song 'Where Were You'?", and the narrator replying something about him being classic, and the woman replying "Really? I thought he was new."
- An upbeat song from mid 2009 with male and female singers with something about 'this crazy slide'.
Edited by ProbeMeRogerSmithopen60s Fantasy... I think? Film
Back on television in the 1970's, I saw a movie that was played on some network channel in Chicago (back then, it was ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, and WGN). I'm sure I saw it more than once, but I never could remember the name or the actors. Basic premise (I think, 40-45 years of bad memory here): A man goes in search of immortality... kind of. He actually is looking for "Happily ever after," but as a location rather than a state of mind. He finds a town/city where he believes people live eternally and tries to gain citizenship. As a way of seeing if he is worthy, they give him three quests. I remember one is to find a (or the) heart of gold (again, not in a person, but an actual object), another is to find a feather (of truth or some such), and so on. I think I remember a scene where he had to get something from a witch who wouldn't help him, so he played a magic flute that forced her to dance. I also remember that the end was odd, in that the hero won the quests, but there was a way for him to lose his immortality by drinking from a spring... which he did.
I'm not even sure it was in English, so I might have seen a dubbed version of it. I thought the characters looked of European descent. It was not really time specific either, except that there was no machinery or guns, and I seem to recall swords.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
openunknown Live Action TV
About a year ago I stumbled upon of a Korean tv drama/romance. I have been trying to find it for over 6 months now, I hope you can help me. I will try to list what I remember. Its about a girl (lets name her G) who works in a sandwich shop, every day she brings a chees sandwich to a guy (brother A). G is secretly in love with A. G wants to work as a hostes on a kind or holyday park (club med like). She wins a trip to Japan. there she meets a guy (brother B). there is some struggles between A & B over the family biznes (the holyday park). for a reason I cant remember B get angry at G, during a snorkeling trip B let G behind in the water when the boot returns to shore. G makes it barely to shore. G hates B at this point. there was some thing about A and shooting a commercial on a island with a actress and G. Sorry if the info is spares.. and sorry for the typo's English isn't my native language.
I am looking for a couch gag in The Simpsons that parodies the famous bomb scene from Dr. Strangelove. The whole family is on the couch wearing Stetsons. The floor opens (I can't remember if the setting was an aircraft bomb bay or the living room) and the couch falls through the hole with a town visible below. The family wave their hats as this happens. This is NOT the scene in which Homer imagines riding the bomb.
