openSchmidty-something, Youtube. Web Original
A Youtube show made by a child or teenage reviewer, his channel banner basically had numerous characters but mostly Lester B. Bum from Linkara's review show Atop The Fourth Wall, he did a review or comparison of Jim Carrey's Grinch vs the Mike Myers Cat In The Hat and he did a fake Russian accent while mocking Carrey's grinch voice.
openYoshi's Island Flash animation parody Web Original
I recall seeing an old Flash animation on Newgrounds in the late 2000's/early 2010's. It was a sprite-based parody of Yoshi's Island wherein Yoshi attempted to kill Baby Mario, but humorously failed in most of his attempts. It began with Yoshi pulling out a blackboard to outline what he was going to do, and it ended with Yoshi finally succeeding by impaling Baby Mario with the nose of a fighter jet piloted by him that ended up crashing into a wall.
I tried looking it up on Newgrounds, Youtube, and even Flashpoint, but I haven't been able to find the one I was thinking about.
Edited by CardboardLuigiopenDiminish ARG community website. Web Original
Some time ago this new You Tube series called Diminish (Tv Tropes page here
) started. I discovered said series thanks to Nexpo (I think it was him). Around that time I could also swear that a Google Doc (or similar like that) was created that analized each episode exhaustively (like the one done for Catastrophe Crow).
Does anybody have a link to said Google Doc or am I crazy and it actually never existed? Thanks in advance.
Edited by megagutsmanopenResponse to Game Theory Web Original
I remember a response video to the Mat Pat's video about Five Nights at Freddy's 3 possibly in the style of Cinema Sins. The opening joke was MatPat sitting in a closet was about being "in the closet" and he also made a note of Mat's contradictory claims (first saying the purple guy's device is not a phone, later saying "suspiciously phone-like"). Another video of the same channel made fun of the "holding a phone" by trying to run with a corded phone and being stopped by the length of the cord.
The response received a response video of it's own. The gay joke had a "does not make Mat Pat gay" reply.
Edited by randomtroper89openNot really a work but a character from what I think an old Nickelodeon website. (SOLVED)! Web Original
So I looking for an image of a creepy baby that if I remember was said to be from an old Nick site. The baby was looking to the left and is peering from the right. Had creepy eyes and such. First found it in a KYM image that was in response to a porn spambot. I couldn't remember the name though. Thought it was "Yammers" but I could be wrong.
Anyone know who it is?
Edited by WarioGuyopenAnimatic pilot about a naughty girl who meets ghosts Web Original
I think it was a You Tube pilot about this teenage girl who had a naughty personality, and somewhere in the short she's in like a house full of ghosts or something, I also remember a guy (I think wore glasses) in the short. That's all I pretty much remember. I watched it back in like 2019-2020. Can anybody tell me what this is?
openUndertale fanvideo Web Original
I don't remember anything about the video itself, only that there is no Undyne, and at the end of the video there's a bunch of text-to-speech voices going "Where the hell is Undyne bring us fish lady bring us fish lady sexyfishsexyfishsexyfish". The video was probably from 2016 or earlier.
Edited by HqamiopenConversions 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?
openYouTube 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.
openOnline 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.
openWeb 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!
openFood 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?
openNintendo 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 FarsidefanopenModern/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…?

openABC News Video Web Original
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 accessed inappropriate website through the Nickelodeon website. Is there any way I can access the video?
Edited by Gamergirl101openDavid Bowie teaching Naruto Web Original
There was a thing where David Bowie taught Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto. It's voice clips even got used in a gmod animation.
openStories 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?

A few months ago I watched two videos of a commentary Youtuber who made videos. One was about if scambaiting was ethical or could be racist, and another was a response to a video by Blaire White. I don't remember his name but the guy was blonde with glasses and there was classical music playing in the background, and I believe his bio mentioned him to be a comp-sci graduate. I don't believe he has a page here though nor do I seek to make one, just looking to find him again. Sorry if its the wrong place.
