openHe-man/D&D-esque commercial sketch Web Original
Tring to find a live action youtube video that starts with two boys playing with action figures in a commercial looking setting. They are then transported to a dark 80's He-man like world. One of the kids is vaporized by the Dark Overlord villain and the other is put in a dungeon with an old insane former hero. When the hero and the boy escape, the hero throws the boy in a sack and carries him away over his shoulder. I don't remember it being that long of a video, maybe 2-5 minutes.
openAnimation Web Original
Ok some its this Video about Nanobots destroying the world presented in this fake How to guide. something about being awesome or amazing I think.
openDead Rising Chop Till You Drop Walkthrough Web Original
I remember watching this Lets Play on Youtube with the game Dead Rising Chop Til You Drop. As the lets play went on, the youtuber used several different clips from certain TV shows or animes, or movies. I remember one scene, when he has to save the old woman on the soccer ball, and calls her a "Ninja Grandma" and a clip from some movie trailer is shown with a grandma jumping on a wall acting all demonic. Where can I find this?
openNot sure Web Original
Watched an episode of a TV series today where the main character is a woman and as torture for abducting and murdering a child, she is part of an act that repeats day after day. Anyone know what it is called?
openweird psychedelic youtube channel or video Web Original
i remember this really weird video about a woman with paper eyes over her eyes doing some weird crafting tutorial on the style of 80s children shows, and some kind of weird looking puppet cat(?) with lots of allusions to mushrooms there are others characters like a woman obscured on shadows ("identity protection on a interview" style) and a girl who has a paper mouth over her mouth (yeah its pretty surreal)
openYoutube Poop with Robotnik dancing Web Original
I remember seeing a Youtube Poop a long time ago that featured AOSTH Robotnik dancing to the beat of "Dani California" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
openYoutube Video with bunnies Web Original
I'm looking for this weird flash video on Youtube that had a bunch of bunnies in it and the main bunny was singing a song in Spanish or Portugese with a guitar and the other bunnies were singing backup vocals. The song was catchy but the bunnies looked sort of creepy.
openInternet comic strip Web Original
A good illustration for The Chain of Harm: A manager yells at a an employee, who takes it out on his wife, who takes it out on their son, who takes it out on his cat, who stabs the manager.
Anyone know the one?
openAn ooooold grimdark Hamtaro fanfic. Web Original
Chances are slim to none I'll ever, ever find this, but I have to try dammit! I vividly remember an old Hamtaro fanfic where Cappy accidentally stabs Bijou with a prop knife while attempting to perform a magic trick. All the hamsters then freak out and think he's a murderer. The fic was not particularly long and might have even been hosted on a forum somewhere. In retrospect it was pretty damn hilarious and I'd like to find it again if anyone recognizes it.
openStop Motion fight between Wallace & Gromit and Garfield Web Original
A Couple of things I Remember about the animation:
1. Had Pikachu in It.
2. Was set in a Wrestling arena.
3. Had nothing to do with Celebrity Deathmatch.
Edited by 123MannCoBoxopen"Trauma meme" entry Web Original
Months ago, a friend showed me a video of the "trauma" art/animation meme on You Tube. It had a priest-looking guy in it, who turned into an Eldritch Abomination at some point of the video. Just now, at the time of this writing, I looked up the site for the entry but failed. Anybody can provide a link?
Edited by ActualBeatriceopenExplodingmirror Web Original
I'm looking for a story about a guy who lived in another guys house without him knowing and thought he was the guys girlfriend. I think I found it on reddit
openWebsite about ape intelligence! Web Original
I realize this is not fiction, and this is probably not the right place to ask for help but after looking for literally months I am desperate enough to try anyway :B I apologize in advance. So, it's a website about great ape intelligence, basically. It has a huge database with many accounts of what apes (chimps, gorillas, orangutans and bonobos) have said using sign language, as well as tool use, complex behavior etc etc. I seem to remember special emphasis on sign language use. I remember it didn´t have a lot of pictures, if any; it was just text, lots and lots of fascinating text. I know it's not a lot to go by. Hope someone knows/remembers!
openMyst walkthrough in the form of prose Web Original
I remember reading this one fanfic/walkthrough for Myst many years ago. It was written as a fanfic from the point of view of the Stranger as (s)he experienced the events of the game, with additional scenes added. There were also a few short stories set after the events of the fic, followed by a full-blown sequel recapping the events of Riven.
The only specific scene from it I remember is a flashback scene (in a dream of the Stranger's) showing how Sirrus and Achenar got trapped.
I remember reading it on a site that had a light brown background.
openGuitar Hero III Custom Song Video Web Original
This one might be a bit obscure, but there was this video of a funny custom Guitar Hero III song I saw that was just a bunch of rapid-fire 5-fret chords, all star power notes, set to AC/DC's Thunderstruck (it was kind of a pun, since each star power note would summon a lightning bolt from above). Not sure who made the video, but chances are it could be Exile Lord, since some of his videos feature him customizing the game.
Edited by GitarooHeroopenYoutube video about guy who goes into Japanese hobby shops... finds a Boku No Pico figure? Web Original
A few years ago I saw a vlog video of a young white man from the US visiting Japan, and he goes into some Japanese toy and hobby stores with a female Japanese friend of his. I seem to remember he had a lot of videos about living in Japan on his channel. At one point in the video I'm looking for, he finds a figurine that I swear was of two characters from Boku No Pico and he asks his friends in Japanese "What is this? Hentai?" and she laughs and tells him yes. I've actually found what I believe to be the figure from the video but I want to make sure. Does anyone else know what video this is?
opensome sort of show Web Original
I remember watching this cartoon about a yellow, shaggy haired boy, with shiny blue eyes, and a blue-green outfit, who looked somewhat like beaker if he fused with tweek , as a child sometime in 2011 online. I swear one of the mario characters was in it. The only part I remember is one where I think he was singing about something related to dinosaurs, or something, and i'm pretty sure it has its own page on this site.
Once, when I was little, I saw this show on treehouse with a lady, and a raccoon puppet, making crafts out of things like, cups, paper, and other things you'd find around your house. I think at one point, there was a tiger.

I remember this video fairly vividly even though it's been lost to me for a long time. The gist of it is that it's a guide to the Hero's Journey a la Campbell... but told through the story of a man who turns into a were-bobcat whenever he masturbates while thinking about his ex-wife who fights the mob to save an orphanage (IIRC). It was hilariously awkward while also being a vivid illustration of how flexible the Journey is. Unfortunately trying to search for key words when it's things like "hero's journey video + bobcat man" has proven fruitless in the times I've tried. Anyone else remember this or know the title?
