openYouTube video about kid kissing vacuum cleaner Web Original
Around 2013, I found this humorous video of a kid kissing a vacuum cleaner. The mom asked "do you want to give the vacuum a good morning kiss"? And this kid kissed the vacuum cleaner. The mom then asked "Do you want to give Daddy a good morning kiss", with the Dad leaning in, touching his finger to his cheek, to which the child responded, "Nope, no, nope, no".
openThat one GoAnimate-esque YouTube show/user that had a page on this wiki. Web Original
I remember going on this wiki before I joined it (I think it was back in 2020?) and seeing a page about an individual, amateur YouTube content creator who uses GoAnimate as an inspiration for their videos note (e.g. the "bad" guys being the troublemakers who get grounded in the end at every video, the "good" guys being the teachers/staff of the school, "educating" the troublemakers on which show the creator likes and slamming them whenever they get the question wrong, and are usually the ones to stop the troublemakers from causing havoc); said videos consists of the creator using a camera to record their videos, using stock images of fictional characters (be it original or from an existing work), switching to a different tab when choosing a specific soundtrack or audio clip for a scene or Character Catchphrase (usually Robotnik's Big "NO!" or "that's disgusting" from an unknown source), etc. There are also a bunch of very strange and kind of creepy fetishes inserted into their videos (e.g. characters becoming fat like a balloon, with an image ripped straight out of DeviantArt, or characters turning into a giant). Lastly, they have an Author Avatar who appears in pretty much every video and whose design is reminiscent of Foxy the Pirate, to the point of being an Expy of the latter. At one point, it had a page here, but I couldn't find it anywhere when going on the related searches for GoAnimate. Maybe it got deleted?
Edited by ToonAbbyopenWebsite for Pokémon Fan Game Idea Web Original
Trying to remember the name of this Pokemon fansite that was for a fan game; I don't believe there was a demo or anything, it was just a hosting website for someone's fan idea for a video game with chapters of a story laid out.
The 1st sprite character I remember was a recolor of Wally from Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. Instead of his green hair and white shirt, it was recolored to give him white hair and a blue shirt; he was also renamed Simon. In the story itself, it starts with him being kidnapped by Team Rocket.
The 2nd sprite character was a Team Rocket character with the uniform, but the character in question was a little girl with pink hair and pigtails.
Edited by TropeFanaticFanopenDo you remember this or have watched it? Web Original
I believe it was an You Tube animation series of some kind about an elderly detective who gets hired to protect a bratty influencer form a creepy guy that just have a crush on her and the first ever seen of that elderly detective is him engaging in a fight with two men in a sauna and beating the shit out of them while wearing nothing
Edited by AminoopenAnimated Fantasy Trailer with Dinosaurs Web Original
I remember seeing this trailer for a web animation series (which wasn't out yet at the time), and it was fantasy based and had dinosaurs, but not every character was a dinosaur. The villain was this demonic-looking dude. Sorry I can't tell you more, but this is what I remember.
openMocap Bugs Bunny animation. Web Original
This is an odd request, but here it goes: I'm looking for a 3d mocap animation of Bugs Bunny that was prominently featured in the classic Christmas special: Skellington's Revenge. I remember there being a link to the animation in the video, but it was in annotations and is now lost thanks to youtube getting rid of them. Any help?
openEarly 2010s website dedicated to rating how much they hate things Web Original
I remember there was this website that was dedicated to hating various things/topics. People would rate how much they hated a thing. There was a comment section where people would rant and explain why they hated the thing. Objects would receive an overall rating base on how hated they were on the site
I believe the site had the word "hate" in the title too.
openAn old sonic adventure 2 redub where Eggman calls Rouge "Big boobs" Web Original
It was on You Tube in the early 2000s . It was a redub of Sonic Adventure 2 where Eggman called Rouge the bat "Big Boobs". Another scene had tails hold up a chaos emerald and say "I chose you Pikachu" in a really raspy voice.
openFootball ad (I think) Web Original
I remember seeing this video, where I don't remember if it was an animation or live-action, where real-life footballers show that they are imperfect, and thus are replaced by perfect clones. Football becomes boring, but one man (I think it was Ronaldo) reunites the players to beat them.
openChildhood Trauma Video. Web Original
Looking for a childhood trauma video that mentions the cabbage monster episode of 'Adventures of Piggley Winks', don't remember the name of the channel but it's a fairly recent video from maybe last year.
openWelcome Home Fan Animatic Web Original
Okay, I got a random one for you guys:
So, there's this fan animatic I'm looking for based on the Welcome Home ARG. In this case, the animatic is an argument between Wally and Barnaby using audio from Neon Genesis Evangelion, specifically the elevator scene where some girl calls a humanoid robot an emotionless wind-up doll. In the animatic, Barnaby is yelling at Wally, Wally gets upset and runs to Home for comfort.
I thought this was part of the Greyscale Wally AU by Your Resident Bee on Tumblr, but I couldn't find it, so I'm thinking it might not have been them or they deleted it. I'm not sure.
Yes, this is weird. This is just what happens when you spend a lot of time on the web. You find weird stuff.
openGordon Freeman for Smash Web Original
I'm looking for a Youtube video that explains the creator's most wanted characters for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. In the first pick, he explains that he likes how the series represents different consoles like Sega, Playstation, Neo Geo and that we haven't got a PC rep yet. He chose Valve and from the studio came Gordon Freeman from Half-Life.
openSubverted Kids' Show relying on heavy toilet humor Web Original
When I was little, I vividly remember watching a very bizarre animated web series on YouTube. It was pretty short, and there were about two or three of these animations that I saw. These animations were made at least before 2012, and are definitely either from the 2000s or the 2010s. They're all in 2D, and I recall the series having a lineless art style. They were most likely reuploads/reposts of Flash animations, because I also recall there being an intro at the beginning featuring the company name along with their website, which hosted these animations and other content (I recall frogs having something to do with the website's branding and name); the intro featured the logo and the protagonist reading it out loud with some tagline attached to it. I remember the name of the series being something along the lines of Potty Time, but when I look up the name on YouTube, I find a bunch of irrelevant stuff. The series was some kind of Subverted Kids' Show combined with Toilet Humor, and could definitely qualify as What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?. As for what the videos were about, this is what I could remember off the top of my head:
The first video had pretty crunchy audio quality (most of the videos did too, probably because they were most likely animated in Flash). Its protagonist was a young girl with pale skin and short black hair. She was wearing pajamas (purple ones, I think) and was standing in a bathroom, facing the audience. The bathroom was green if I recall. She then talks to the audience about something, and then she would go sit and pee in the toilet with her pajamas on for some reason. After she finishes using the toilet, the toilet comes to life and gets angry at her, and that's where the video ends.
The second video was a sequel to the first video; the protagonist appears again here and most of the events from before are repeated here, and I think she was dressed up as a princess? It was probably some kind of Halloween animation, and this one was even shorter; she talks about pooping or something and then just as she is about to use the toilet, the toilet comes to life once again and cusses her out, and that's where the animation ends.
If anyone here knows what this webseries was called and if they've also seen these videos, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Edited by kosquaredopen[SOMEWHAT SOLVED] Skylanders Animation with the tortured mass of flesh. Web Original
As a child, I remember seeing a Skylanders Swap Force animation on You Tube. It is a parody that was based on crude humor.
The scene that I remember was when a child placed his hand on the portal along with half of a Wash Buckler toy.
He is transported into the game and turns into a massive tumor like creature. His "catchphrase" is screaming and shitting himself.
As soon as he enters the skylands he says "KILL ME. WITH FIRE!!!!!".
Edited by Lavafallopen[SOLVED] Analog horror about nuclear war and fallout Web Original
The video was similar to a regular PSA about nuclear bombs and such, but it was somewhat stylized. It had a pinkish, 1950s-1970s-esque filter over the video. The sections of information had numbers in one of the corners, and some of the segments were missing. Near the end of the video, it shows a fallout shelter with a crack in the corner and radioactive particles that look like stock image germs seeping in from the crack, and eventually making their way into the shelter. At the end, it says something like "There are no winners in a nuclear war" or something like that.
I tried looking up 'nuclear war analog horror' on Youtube, but I couldn't find the specific video. Perhaps it got deleted
Edited by mitzioletopenYoutube series about bunch of people trapped in rooms Web Original
I remember this series through a You Tube video on it, but I've forgotten the title of both the video and the series. So basically, it was a bunch of people, trapped in different rooms with different activities in there as a part of a reality show, or social experiment or something. One of the characters had access to a phone that could communicate with different rooms, but only one at a time and with the light on the phone line being lit up. The guy keeps communicating with the different rooms, until he reaches one where the item in that room...was a noose. I don't remember either the original series or the video I learned about it from, but if you have the identity of either, it is much appreciated.
openFictional Kids Meal Broadcast Incident Web Original
I remember watching a video online a few years back that I cant seem to find. It's about a broadcast incident that caused a picture of a kids meal from a fast food place to be shown for about a month (maybe more, but I remember it being a long time in universe). Near the end of the video, this creature that's all red, stands on it's hind legs, has a head like a dog, legs like a velociraptor, and a long tail walks into frame and takes a bite out of a burger that was on display, only for another one of it to emerge from it before the video cuts away. I think it was covered by somebody who styles their videos like blameitonjorge or Nick Crowley. Any help?

I'm gonna be honest, I remember the visuals more than I remember anything about the story itself, because I actually didn't watch the video yet, I found it here then I looked it up on Youtube and I was gonna mark it to watch later but I forgot. I think it was black on yellow animation,or maybe it was black on white. It wasn't 2d like Disney, it's just that everything seemed flat, the characters and the background, but it was stylized. I don't really remember what the guy was searching for, I THINK it was the cure for some plague that has been ravaging the world or for a disease a loved one of his had. And I think the steampunk elements were pretty mild or maybe I'm even wrong about it being steampunk but there were definetly some super strong victorian vibes.
