openTumblr Post About Specimen Tube Trope Web Original
This was a humorous post about a sci-fi trope (I don't know if it has a name). It went something like this...
"What did you do with the unknown life form?"
"It's suspended in a vertical tube of translucent blue liquid."
"Are there bubbles in the liquid?"
"Yeah, every couple minutes a bunch of bubbles rise to the top."
"How's the lighting?"
"Well, the lab's pretty dark, but there's a bright light shining into the tube from underneath."
"Good work."
openThis one webseries about a sentient(?) satellite Web Original
I never actually seen this show before, but I remember coming across Tumblr posts of it where some viewers fawn over this satellite character (not an actual Satellite Character, a literal satellite) like he's a Tumblr sexyman or something, and for some reason that's what's been itching at me. Can anyone help me remember the title?
open(SOLVED!!!) Online Fiction work about a group of people wearing masks? Web Original
It’s actually a fic, not a show. I read it around 8 years ago. I’m pretty sure the title was something like “11 down ___” or some other number and down were in the title. It was about a group of people waking up in an unfamiliar place, and they all had masks stuck to their faces. The main character had a jester mask, and everyone called her Jester. Her personality was pretty much like a jester and everyone was pretty annoyed by her most of the time. The other masks were, from what I remember, emotions, like sad, happy, angry. They went through a lot of different areas, I think maybe they were tests or challenges. I remember some party manor, and I think at one point toward the end they were on a giant chess board. I seem to remember some of them dying, and there was an underlying romance thing with Jester and a boy in the group. I think the conclusion ended up being that Jester was actually a toy that the little girl who was tormenting them played with, but the others were all real people, and the place they were in was a part of the girls imagination....... or something like that. I also remember the author released a sort of sequel that I only got a few chapters into reading. I’m sure that I didn’t read it on Fiction Press but that doesn’t mean it isn’t on there. I read it on some app on my phone, maybe Watt Pad. I really loved this work I’m so sad I can’t remember the name. Help?
Solved! It was Down Come Seven by Shayni on Wattpad! I think I read the original but it’s rewritten here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/9855431-down-come-seven-rewrite-2018
openHarry Potter YTP? Web Original
I'm trying to find a Harry Potter YouTube Poop that I can't remember very well. The only thing I remember concretely is a scene from Goblet of Fire being remixed to have Dumbledore shout "I LOVE BEER!" after stuttering. Does anybody know this YTP?
openText-based forum-hosted interactive fiction story about Greek Gods Web Original
So I vaguely remember reading a forum-based interactive fiction story about a group of young men and women who wake up in a prison. They can't remember who they are or how they got there, but they know their names. And their names are all from Greek mythology. And they all had some sort of power related to their name.
I know that, of the main cast in that story, there was a Thanatos who was a big, gentle and kind-hearted dude. An Atropos existed too. There was an Athena who was the protagonist of the story's sequel.
I cannot remember what this thing is, for the life of me, and it'll bother me to the rest of my days if I don't get its name so I can read it again.
openThis Youtube video about a halloween special of Super Smash Flash 2 Web Original
I remember watching this as a kid, So the video wasn't actually made by the SSF 2 team, the creators of the video used old sprites of the characters. all i remember from it is Mario walking up a haunted house, and a bunch in another room I believe the video is Spanish, if not, then it's english.
openPower Rangers Team up fanfic Web Original
There’s this Power Ranger fic where Dino Thunder teams up with several other Ranger Teams including an OC team. Trent the White Dino Ranger dies cause the author doesn’t know how to write him or something. One Ranger ends up in Super Sentai universe where he meets the Gokaigers. The Timerangers apparently gave Gokai Silver something so the Gokaigers would know about future teams.
openInspector Gadget site Web Original
Does anyone remember a Inspector Gadget site that mentioned a planned Continuity Reboot that was Darker and Edgier and later turned out to be a fan hoax?
I only vaguely remember this but can't remember all the details, let alone the title.
All I can remember was it was out around 2009-2010.
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.
openVegetable hospital (solved) Web Original
An animated horror short, possibly a music video, on You Tube. About a hospital in which the patients are turned into literal vegetables. I think the main story surrounded a child who discovered this process happening to his grandmother.
Edited by FuzzytheduckopenGame Grumps video/episode Web Original
Does anyone know which video/episode Danny talked in a nasally, geeky voice and then claimed that's how he talked when he wasn't working?
openslasher movie villain's murder spree is derailed by accusation of racism. Web Original
The more I try to remember this, the more I think I either dreamed it or conflated a couple of skits I saw online. If it is real, I am leaning more towards a self-contained web video skit because I can't imagine it happening in an actual horror movie, maybe not even a Scary Movie type spoof. Anyway, it starts out like a normal slasher movie scene with the killer coming after someone, but the victim points out some way in which the killer's motives/actions seem racist. This keeps happening as he tries to kill other characters, maybe to the point where nobody in the scene dies because the killer is too busy trying to explain he's not racist/sexist/etc. This sounds like a Political Correctness Gone Mad thing, but I remember the humor being more directed at the idea that even a slasher movie villain wouldn't want to seem racist.
openFlash Talking Fish Web Original
When I was in high school, I took classes in Flash animation (back when Flash was strictly for Web Animation only), and among the material we studied was a little series of animation featuring talking fish - they were stylized to look like somewhat realistic fish, but with floppy mouths, a lot like the kind of stuff you'd find on old sites like JibJab. I remember one such episode was a musical one where the fish are on a plane, and one of the passengers falls in love with the stewardess who handed out bags of peanuts, the chorus from that song has never left my head: "Peanut lady, how do you do? Peanut lady, I think I'm in love with you." I have searched the internet high and low for these Flash fish, and can't find anything. Does anyone remember these?
openTalking Tom and Friends Web Original
It's an animated sitcom featuring everyone's favorite Tabby cat and his friends. It's currently underrated and it deserves its page right here on TV Tropes!
Characters: Talking Tom (The Hero) Talking Angela (The Chick) Talking Ben (The Smart Guy; Foil) Talking Hank (The Ditz) Talking Ginger (Token Mini Moe) Talking Becca (My Friends... and Zoidberg)

Thank you!
Edited by CamperoropenUndertale 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 HqamiopenYouTube Surreal Horror Web Original
I think it might be British, but not sure. Anyway, the video is about two friends jumping a chain link fence to explore an abandoned amusement park as an officer warns them not to. Once inside, they witness several supernatural occurrences. One friend is eventually dragged off by a stop-motion creature inside a building. The other flees, running into the same cop. He pleads for help, only to be attacked and killed by the cop who is revealed to also be some sort of creature. The video ends with the cop saying that they should've listened.
open"It has chosen to impliment psychological warfare by cutting it's own head off repeatedly" Web Original
Not a lot to go on because I can only remember one thing. But it was a live action TV show or web original with sci fi elements. The bit I remember barely is one of the main characters is watching a creature they have trapped and the character (an anxious man) is reporting back on it's capture, saying something like "It has chosen to implement psychological warfare by repeatedly cutting off it's own head to intimidate me" or something similar. I have no idea about anything else besides the fact that it has very good, modern, witty wordplay, and I found this bit VERY funny. Thanks if you know what the hell I am talking about
openCourage the Cowardly Dog YTP Web Original
Does anyone remember a specific You Tube Poop of the Courage the Cowardly Dog episode “King Ramses’ Curse” where Eustace dials his phone in time with a loud hardcore techno beat? I recall the overall quality of the poop being pretty poor, and it may have been split into two parts. I watched it three years ago or less.
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 think I was in grade 3, so 2014 or around there. This girl, and I think there was a boy too, had this little web series about health. This specific episode had the girl focusing on nutrition. Making a healthy lunch and that stuff. I think she learned to make a healthy pizza and then a dessert pizza pie. I think one of the main points in the episode was her playing basketball and warning another girl that eating chips was only good for short term energy, and that she could crash and get hurt.
