openNo Title Webcomic
I only read the start of the webcomic, so I don't remember much in the way of plot, but the main character was a blond, very feminine-looking male who apparently goes into different worlds when he sleeps (I believe the second part was only implied). There's some kind of imprisoned queen, perhaps a fairy, and he's been chosen to save her. The title "Hero" may have come up. The beginning is either in gray or he's in a dungeon with said queen, or possibly after he gets out of the dungeon it's gray. I think there's also an evil doll with stuffing coming out of his neck that the boy sews up. At some point near the beginning he passes out and two fairies watch him and wonder how such an unsatisfactory kid is supposed to save the queen.

TV show possibly shown on Nickelodeon around 2003-ish.
Only saw the first episode, about a boy who is accepted into a space station/school from a rural background. I remember him going through a training programme when some bullies open an air lock. A girl is sucked out and he flies through an asteroid field to rescue her wearing some special space suit that was behind a glass screen before. Remember him having some generic non-human/nerd friends too, even though it was the first day.
Animation style along the lines of Danny Phantom.

It's a sitcom shown on YTV in the early 2000s. Your average sitcom family/plots, except that they also live with a Egyptian pharaoh/mummy (forgot which). If I remember correctly, people had British accents.
openNo Title Anime
I've been looking for an anime movie/short series for a while. It's about a boy (blue yes, black hair, lanky) who discovers that he's half-alien and has to save his mother/girlfriend/family from his alien counterparts, who want to use him for....something. He's chased by two other half-aliens (a brother and a sister, who, for some reason, I think were faternal twins), and there's sexual tension between both the girl half-alien and the the Main half-alien character, as well as between the the brother and sister.
The secene that stands out in my mind is where they corner the Main Character, and he uses a glove (yes, a *glove*) to access some kind of magic/technology to knock them both out. Then, the Aliens come and demand the Main Character goes with them because the "glove has chosen you". He refuses, and fights them off, only to be left on the ground (knocked out) when the half-alien girl wakes up, steals the glove from the aliens, and uses it against them before the glove starts to break her hand.
It was on in the 90s-I want to say early to mid (1990-1997)-and I know it part of a larger series/broken-up movie. It was on either on Syfi (during their anime mondy special) or on Fox (about 9:30-11:00 pm).
Does this sound familer to anyone?

On So Bad It's Horrible, there is an entry with no link. Can someone find an upload of it?
- A group of ads for Hot Pockets (which is thankfully, now long-gone) depicted people eating a Hot Pocket on the street and being subjected to the same kinds of discrimination and abuse that American minorities suffered from prior to and during the Civil Rights Movement - all because they were eating the advertised product without using a plate. So if someone eats these Hot Pockets in public, people will harass them both physically and verbally and write threatening messages on their houses with a caulking gun?

I can't find a delete button so disregard this. It's Final Fantasy Legend 3', on the gameboy if anyone was wondering. found it right after I posted this.
An old (16-bit?) video game, possibly the SNES, existed about 10-12 years back. The plot was kind of like the SNES F Fs and it was definatly a RPG: the world is slowly flooding from some kind of portally thing, and characters can be 'fed' items mosters sometimes drop to turn into thing like the monsters, with abilities. Kind of like Gau's Rages from FF 6, but for everyone. You start on a smallish island, and travel off it is via a 'float' spell, which unlike in FF, summons a floating rock which you ride.

Anyone knows which show?
openNo Title Western Animation
I think this was an animated film, it involved some animals that live under a tree or something and then their little animal village is gassed or something and one of their friends gets sick saving their parents and the other animals have to go looking for a cure, pretty sure one of the characters was a badger and there was a scene with diggers at one point though I could be mistaken, saw it when I was very young (so during the 90's) could have been released before then.

Does anybody know the name of the theme song to the 2008ish cartoon show Yu Gi Oh 5 Ds? Cause I'm thinking that it is "I Can Hear You Breathing", but can you help me just to be sure.

This is a commercial from circa 1993. The product that is being advertised is a laxative medicine called Senokot. Another detail that I remember is that the commercial used the song "I Feel Good (I Knew That I Would)" in it. Could you help me find any information/videos for the commercial?
openNo Title Live Action TV
A television commercial from the early to mid 90s which is not easy to describe. But I'll ask anyway.
From what I remember, the ad starts with scenes in an art gallery(?) shot a odd angles, at some point a woman says "It's so powerful" and an older man says "I don't see it." Then it cuts to a young man speaking to a group of people in whats either a therapy session or a poetry slam. The young man says "...Came across a fountain, with a sign that says 'don't drink the water'..." a person makes a comment to her friend while he is speaking. Then it cuts to a lively jazz band, and... that's all I remember.
What I want to know is What Were They Selling Again?? I want to look this commercial up, but it's very difficult to search without knowing what the ad was selling.
I'm positive I did not dream this, I remember seeing it on TV multiple times.

I remember some old PC game from like the early-to-mid 90's.
The main character was this female pilot (who becomes a cyborg partway through the game after an accident or a sabotaged mission or something) flying around a city for all or most of the missions, blowing up enemy vehicles and like mines/bombs/whatever. It was 2D, the perspective was directly overhead and I think everything was pretty much grey and brown. You got different vehicles for different missions, like helicopters, bombers, fighters etc. Mission briefings and debriefings were done with character potraits and green text on a black screen.
I was fairly young at the time so some of the details are probably off.
openNo Title Literature
Anyone heard of a book involving a woman turned into a mosquito? She was the wife of a peasant, when she died she was taken to a shaman who took a drop of blood from the man and revived her. Eventually she ran out on him for a richer man but the husband asked for his blood as the shaman warned him of this. When she lost the drop she became a giant mosquito. She hunted for her husbands descendants for hundreds of years in order to get his blood and turn back, draining failed candidates completely. She's pursued by the shaman who had become a giant yemen dragonfly to kill her as a natural predator.
openNo Title Music
It's an alt-rock song from the late 90s, probably around 98 or 99. The verses of the song were sung through some sort of voice distortion, then the chorus was more of a traditional rock song w/no voice distortion. The lyrics in one of the verses, from what I remember, was, "..and there was a big parade/and everybody got laid/and they (something? I think grow) so fast/(something distorted)." I also remember a verse that said something about a ship coming and "it burned all the books and the Chevrolets." Then the chorus started with, "if you believe in Saturn and Mars..."
I think the song was about a spaceship coming to a town and destroying it. I really hope someone else remembers this song and I'm not just crazy! It's been bugging me for years!

Looking for TWO pages about websites:
1) You Tube channel about four/five "critics" who review stuff. All I know is that one of them (a woman) was absent for several videos for being too violent.
2) Website about a reviewer who reviews movies. All I know about him is that he really hates The Lion King!!!
Please somebody help me!!!

It's an animation show that aired around 2003/2005, probably in Nickelodeon. It was set in a boarding school for magic/school were magical stuff happened; but it didn't feel(too much)like a Harry Potter rip-off. I believe it centered around a group of "normal" students having to deal with this fantastic world. The principal/main teacher was a witch who may have had some sort of weird looking flying pet. Among the main children, there was a blonde rather whiny girl(she also had a weird-looking nose) who had to share the room with a "goth" student (Her hair was black and quite big) who had rapidly adapted to the school. Some of the other students and teachers might have been trolls or different kinds of supernatural creatures. Episodes I remember centered around a student messing with magic they don't understand to deal with a regular problem and learning some sort of lesson. There was an episode in which they were putting up a play and the got possessed by the characters until they finished the play. The opening sequence, as I remember it, showed the characters being dropped off at school, encountering weird stuff, trying to escape while the theme tune narrated the facts and may have said something about these students being mistakenly sent to the school. The show was probably American or Canadian, was traditionally animated and may have been named after the school.
