openAn ant brother and sister Western Animation
A show about two ants that are blueish in colour and are siblings, one brother and one sister. In one episode there was a bee competition and a wasp entered it, and in another the siblings were paid with chocolate. Any suggestions?
openCan you help? Live Action TV
So I remember watching this at least 4 or more years ago (it's probably longer to be fair but I have no sense of time) and I know it was real despite not being able to find anything on it. It's a TV show and it starts off with this sort of scholarship girl getting in to this elite university or college and when she gets there it's all rich kids and endless amounts of sex and drugs and stuff and I think she gets propositioned by this smarmy arrogant guy and at some point one of the characters gets killed with rowing equipment. Possibly stabbed with an oar? I originally thought it was by BBC or itv but now I don't know.

I remember watching this live action show a few years ago, where a bunch of different people each had to make a dinner for the other contestants. After they all hosted their dinner's they would vote on who had the best one (and of course the couldn't vote for themselves). Whoever won got a prize. I'm not sure if it even still airs on TV.
openPhysics fails
I saw a kind of series on national geographic or something like that about 5 years ago. A crazy grey hair physicist explaind the science behind funny fail videos from the internet. I am looking for this for an hour now and I'm really annoyed.
openPlease help me find an old animated movie Film
The only thing i remember is that it started in a car. It was driving through a tunnel and there were lights flashing on both sides, then it drove out of the tunnel and turned to the left. On the right there were barriers and behind them a forest i think. You could not see them but in the car there was a child and his parent(s), they were talking and the parent(s) started to tell the kid a story when they got out of the tunnel. Please, if anyone has any suggestions, write them! Thank you.

So basically, there's a comic strip that I found on the Internet where there's a little boy in a car, daydreaming, and he remembers about humans being mostly water so he worries that he'll melt if he drinks too much water, and I think he had an Imagine Spot where a narrator said he was 90% water. I think his name was 'Calvin', so maybe it was Calvin and Hobbes, except I don't remember a tiger being there.
openPBS like documentary?
We saw this show in school, the opening credits was where you like traveled through white room hallways and there were images on the walls of animals, space and "national geographic" like things. I think there was something with an eye also, but I can't remember the name of the show!
openA TV show about a gamer who becomes a secret agent Live Action TV
I think I watched this TV show around (2007-2010) I’m sure this aired on YTV and maybe possibly Nickelodeon. I remember it was about a teenager who was a high school student, I think he bought or went online and played a really popular video game, then he became the #1 best player in the world, then one day his life completely changed when a man with a bald head told him that he was hiring him to become, I think a secret agent or something similar of that profession. I remember one scene where the main character didn’t believe that what the bald man was saying was true, so the bald head man proved it by ripping off him arm revealing that he was a robot. Also the bald man said that said that if he accepted the position then the bald man would be his personal bodyguard and then after accepting he gave him a glove that shoots beams or plasma looking balls that explode on impact, a black futuristic looking air ship, that shooting lightning underneath the base of it and beams people up into it and the main character has a younger brother that through the series, comes close to finding out that his older brother (the main character) is living a double life as a secret agent. Also the main character attends high school like a normal high school student, but then if he gets called for a mission then he goes and saves the day. Also I know this TV show was targeted towards Teens.
openCGI Cartoon about a bunch of Robots Western Animation
The main characters were a kid and a police robot about the same size as the kid. The robot was under the command of a guy whose head was a literal smiley emoji.
openTop-down zombie evac game. Videogame
Theres a game I saw a while back, it's a top-down perspective and you control military units trying to evacuate uninfected civilians from city districts under attack from zombies. I remember there's also some special units you can use like snipers that are put on rooftops, and I think they shoot anything within a conical killzone.

open90s-00s kids show with...
Bear with me. You know that kids show with real people (and possibly cartoon backgrounds like Lazytown), where the main guy was white with black hair (I think) and he would do this thing where he put his pointer and middle finger beside eachother and curl down the other fingers on each hand. And then use those two to make a plus sign. And then he would teleport into a TV or something. There was a vine about what it would be like today where the guy goes into a music video. Help, please.
openLooking for an anime or cartoon I saw it in English maybe 14 years ago. Western Animation
