openRapper Simulator Web Original
I'm looking for a You Tube comedy video where two guys get a game that simulates the rap experience. However, all but one of the routes (which are annotations in the video) have you die at the end.
- The "gangsta rapper" route has you die in a shootout.
- The "swag rapper" overdoses.
- The "indie rapper" starves to death.
- The "pop rapper" sells out to white people and wins the game.
openWeird Old Flash Cartoons Web Original
These were two short cartoons made by the same animator about a dozen years ago. One had a guy say, "There's a lot you don't know about me," before tearing off his disguise to reveal a giant flea that danced to Super Mario Bros. music. The other had a guy getting hassled by flying nautili that were portrayed as inner city thugs.

openOishi High School Battle Web Original
It was a show I watched long time ago in youtube, like in 2014-2015 that I'm not really sure but I think the protagonist was a pink haired girl who fought demons/monsters in the school and was the daughter of the devil, but it was like she was the only character drawn in the show, and the other characters and backgrounds were real, besides the part where she travels through a locker (I think) to hell or something like that, and there was this boy in college who was her crush, and that's all I can remember. please help
Edited by SukeBanchoopenWebsite analyzing X-Files fanon? Web Original
It was this website that I thought was called Infrequently Asked Questions but I've googled that name heaps of times and not found anything relevant. It was taking a bunch of things that come up in Fan Works related to The X-Files and seeing if they gelled with Canon. Examples of text:
Q: Mulder home-nurses Scully when she's unwell?': A: Unlikely. Scully usually nurses herself unless it's serious enough to warrant a hospital visit.'' Q: Mulder phones Scully in the middle of the night? A: This is not likely to be a regular occurrence. When Muldre phoned Scully at nighttime in one episode, she seemed surprised that he was calling. Q: Mulder is a terrible shot?: ''A: Actually, Mulder is a great shot. He sleeps with his gun under his pillow, but then again, he wouldn't be Muldre if he didn't do that.\

Edited by innerwaveopenInternet Mario Series Web Original
I remember very little, though I remember it being multiple parts. Mario was traveling through time (space?) I think by using F.L.U.D.D and was visiting various other game universes while doing it. I believe a whole episode was dedicated to The Wrecking Crew video game.
The main thing I do recall is his catchphrase was “Who the hell are you?”, and I believe at one point he met himself, who responds with “Who the hell does it look like?” Not sure if I saw this on You Tube, Newgrounds, or one of those older video sharing sites.
openLooking For A Fanfiction Web Original
I recall reading a long time ago on fanfiction.net a Ranma 1/2 fanfic where the premise was that Ranma was attached to a doll he called Chise IIRC and treated as if it was a real person. I don't remember the name, so if someone could tell it to me I'd much appreciate it.
openMiniclip game, grey man puzzle game Web Original
I played this on miniclip. You were a grey block guy, and you had to do different puzzles to get vhs clips. There were two games I think, and at least on of them had the clips. A lot of the puzzles had you walking in a certain way to light up tiles different colors to open doors. The video clip showed a woman who was either sick or crazy, and a man in her life leaving her. I can’t find the game on miniclip anymore, so it may no longer exist.
open3D Animated Cat Series Web Original
I remember seeing a clip of what seemed to be a 3d web series with a purple cat-like creature that wore a mask that changed expressions. Does anyone know what it is?
openA creepy animated short about an "idol" that turns objects to random other objects Web Original
I remember everything about the short except for the title quite vividly. Two children, a boy and a girl, kill a rabbit and find an idol inside—a snarling goblin that shoots bolts that turn objects into other objects. (The idol is labeled "Idol", as every object or creature is labeled in the short.) The kids find that the idol loves jam and turns flies into diamonds and feather quills, and so feed it all the jam they can and slaughter a cow in order to attract plentiful flies.
This naturally ends poorly when the idol (IIRC) is eaten by a rabbit, and its effects all change—the feather quills turn to fly wings, while the flies turn back to normal, and in anger swarm and kill the children (somehow).
I know I saw it on You Tube but that friggin' title evades me...
openFanfiction of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Web Original
A short story fanfiction: Pinkie Pie and Rarity share a hot tub, Pinkie Pie is in there to soothe her tummy ache from eating too much black licorice, and only too late does Rarity notice the "Out of Order" sign. When Rarity realizes exactly where the bubbles are coming from, she has a Freak Out and gets hauled away in a straitjacket. I'm pretty sure I read it on fimfiction.net

Edited by Miss_DesperadoopenHaunted Soda Found Fooage Web Original
There was a internet video a long time ago of a dark room with a lot of soda cans inside. Somewhere still in packaging and stacked neatly, others were scattered on the floor. The camera was very unstable and the filmer was stumbling around in the dark. At one point the camera turns around to see a soda can floating through the air toward the camera. T He camera veers to the left before the video ends.
The description says something about "My body has been possessed by [soda brand]", but the title wasn't very descriptive. It may have just been numbers. There might also have been one or two parts before this video of similar footage.
Thanks.

openMario Brothers Mockumentary Web Original
When I was younger, I stumbled upon a video which was essentially a mockumentary on the Mario Brothers, which I remember being called something like the Mario Segale story, anyway one of the parts of the video had a section on Luigi in which he had a brief rap career, and had an affair with Ms Pacman, (which is the name of Pacman's female counterpart, although he insisted on the point that since she is Ms. Pacman and not Mrs Pacman, that those events were being misrepresented. Now, I can't find it, but perhaps you can?
openWitch Dressup Girls Go Game? Web Original
I know there are tons of flash "witch dress up games" out there but I remember this one being different. It had lots of mini games that would help you unlock outfit items for your witch character. I specifically remember a "match three" falling candy game, a game where you create a tiny decorative hat, and one where you chose three different bath bombs and the combination would unlock a new clothing item. I'm fairly certain it was a Girls Go Games game, because I remember there was an option to take a picture of your character (along with the game host npcs) on halloween backgrounds and share it on your account. I'm suddenly super nostalgic and really want to find it, but it seems to be deleted from the website. Did it originate from a different website? I can't be the only one here who played this game?
openA web series about geeks standing in line for a movie premiere Web Original
I vaguely recall watching (many years ago) a YT series (I think) about geeks standing in line for the next movie in their favorite franchise, and by "standing", I mean they arrive on the evening before the premiere and stand there all night. The main character has all his geek stuff, like action figures and such, in a bag, and then something happens and he gives his ticket to another person, then trades away all his action figures with other people in the line to get that person into the premiere. The ending sees him sitting in front of the theater, and then the technician who belittled him earlier, tells him he can come in and watch the movie from the projector room.

Isn't there a group of Redditors that take fictional characters in teams of 3 and pit them against other fictional characters in teams of 3? What was that called?
