resolved Fake College Commercial Web Original
I'm trying to find a short (less than three minutes) video that is a parody of college commercials. I'm guessing it was uploaded between 2006 - 2012. In the commercial, some teenagers (likely high school students) point out the "best" features of their college, like the substandard campus food, aged teacher population, lack of space in requirement classes, etc.
The one quote I can clearly remember is a student exclaiming over their campus aesthetic, claiming "All our buildings were constructed in the 1970's - an architectural dark age!!!"
I've tried searching You Tube for "fake college commercial" and "college commercial parody" and the like, but couldn't find what I was looking for. Any suggestions?
resolved Old YOutube poop starring Robotnik Web Original
There's this Youtube Poop I'm trying to find. It was about Robotnik, and it was uploaded probably between 2006-2010.
All I remember was an exchange that went something like this:
resolved Sprite Movie series with Yoshi and Kirby [SOLVED] Web Original
There was this old sprite movie series on You Tube from like 2007-2008-ish involving Kirby and Yoshi living together. There was this one episode where they get robbed by a Bandit named BG Bandit. There were also two recurring characters called the Super Soccer Bros(?) who taught Yoshi and Kirby special moves like the Bros. Moves in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. The sprites used looked like they were from Game Boy Advance games.
Edited by PKLpikachuresolved OffTheRails example without a link or works page Web Original
The trope page for Off the Rails has an example that does not have a work page or a link to it and I cannot find it anywhere because it has such a generic name. Does anybody know where to find the series that this example is referring to? The only other information that I have is that it is a web video series because the link to the nonexistent work page says web video.
The players manage to very quickly break their first quest during one of the early episodes of Role Play. Having retrieved a magical glass orb and an Infinity –1 Sword they attempt to have them identified before returning them to the quest giver. Since formal identification turned out to be too expensive one player decided to learn more about the orb by dropping it on the ground to see if it smashes. It did. Having failed the quest the players decided that they might as well ignore the quest giver and wander off with the powerful weapon. The GM sends an assassin after the party who seemed to be powerful enough to have killed them all in a fair fight, but they somehow manage to trip her and then pin her underneath an unconscious party member whilst impaling her through the arm. The following week the GM gave up on heavily planned quests and kept preparations brief since it was clear that his players were too unpredictable to railroad.

Edited by dutchguy1986resolved Flash Game were you create Colorful Flowers (SOLVED) Web Original
Back in middle school, some of my classmates introduced me to a game where you great flowers. The process involved taking a selection of seeds and DNA of sorts and combining them together to create different types of colorful flowers. If you wanted to save a particular one, you can copy the number code at top. The background was just the blue sky with the fertilizer being depicted by a simple brown floor.
Edited by TropeFanaticFanresolved Are you Bruce Wayne? Solved batman 48 Web Original
I have a question about a Batman comic cover that gets joked about on the internet. Batman is showing a bunch of kids that the batcave is under Wayne manor. Naturally it's been edited so that one of the kids asks if he is Bruce Wayne but what comic is that the cover for?
Edited by dutchguy1986resolved Book recommendation site that ranks books according to various metrics Web Original
Metrics include amount of sexual content, weird vs. conventional, complicated vs. straightforward, and a whole lot of others I've forgotten about, so you can get very specific about the kind of book you're looking for. You can also sort books by country. I found If I Fall, If I Die through that website, and I think they also have a page on An Unkindness of Ghosts.
Edit: Found it! It's whichbook.net.
Edited by Madison14resolved Webvideo about sonic getting depressed Web Original
I'm looking for a webvideo about Sonic the Hedgehog getting depressed. The video uses sprites and was about sonic getting so depressed that he refuses to do anything. Eggman/Robotnik brags about taking over the world infront of him and juggling the chaos emeralds.
After seeing sonic being unresponsive , Robotnik/Eggman says "if your gonna be like that , you can keep the fucking emeralds".
Can anyone please find the name of this webvideo for me?
Edited by monkeyheroineresolved Blue's Clues parody Web Original
I remember watching this Blue's Clues parody video many years back. What I remember is that the plot revolved around the protagonist/Steve stand-in hallucinating the whole thing, and it involved a "drinking chair" instead of a "thinking chair", and the Blue stand-in was a girl in a dog costume named "Sunshine" or something similar. One scene I do remember is "Sunshine"/whoever the dog was called shooting the Steve stand-in, causing him to wake up from the hallucination. I also remember that the scenes set in the "real world" involved a whiteboard.
Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
resolved fictional unaired police procedural pilots [SOLVED] Web Original
there was this tumblr blog that just posted summaries of fictional pilots of police procedurals with absurd premises (set in caveman era, starring particular political figures, etc.) and occasionally describing works that aren't police procedurals as though they were. i'm pretty sure it has its own tvtropes page but i can't find it. i think it was called something like "the police procedural archive"
Edited by iwantedtoaddsomethingresolved Spooky song in meme video, sounds like video game music Web Original
Does anyone know the name of the spooky music in this meme video
? I asked the uploader, and they didn't know. I guess they reuploaded this from another website or something.
It sounds like something out of a video game, possibly one of the Mario Party games.
Edited by DrNoPumaresolved 3-D animated childhood-ruining YouTube video (FOUND) Web Original
(MATURE CONTENT AHEAD. I swear this isn't a creepypasta.)
I remembered watching this old youtube video when I was eight years old. I don't remember the title, but I remember this video clearly. It was a 3-D animated parody of Donald Duck, and it starred him and his nephew, Louie. All of the dialogue was in text to speech, with Donald himself having an ungodly deep voice.
The video opened with Donald telling his nephew that it must be hard to live without a mother. I don't remember exactly what was said afterward, but I do remember Donald mentioning that Dewey got himself a homeless man as a roommate, while Huey was seen outside fisting a dead deer.
This is when the weird part came in. Donald suggested that he become Louie's mother, and proceeded to put on a dress. At this point, Louie said "Uncle, please put your clothes back on." Donald didn't do as he asked; instead, he forced Louie to "suck milk from his mother's breast". Which he did.
After Donald was done doing more acts that I can't really say on this forum, he tucked Louie into his bed and whispered this before he closed the door:
"Sleep tight, my baby. Tomorrow, we'll start over."
The video ended with Louie hanging by a noose on a tree in the backyard.
Edited by YuriHaru567resolved Homestar runner cartoon Web Original
I'm looking for a cartoon where Strong Bad has missed a bunch of developments in the other character's lives and ends up freaking out thinking he has somehow traveled to the future only for the end to reveal he spent an entire year, maybe longer, bouncing a ball against the wall. It wasn't a sbemail and it took place during the winter
Edited by dutchguy1986resolved A cautionary tale about gambling in song form Web Original
Somewhere on You Tube, there's a music video about a guy who goes to a casino where there are all these shadow people with suspicious heart-shaped holes in them and the only "person" there being the dealer. He goes there hoping to win big and plays a game with a dealer, but loses more stuff every round until he bets his soul and loses that too, where the dealer turns out to be a demon and collects the guy's soul, turning him into another shadow person. I remember the artstyle being something like Hazbin Hotel but wasn't done by Vivziepop herself. In fact, I remember the OP saying in a comment that they were flattered to be compared to her? I remember all of that, but would someone please tell me the name of it?
resolved mermaid/siren short comic on tumblr Web Original
This was a short comic drawn by an artist on tumblr. I remember very little but I really want to find it again! It was a short story about a mermaid or siren of some kind from the perspective of a fisherman. The only thing I remember clearly was a panel in which the fisherman could see a smiling face in the guts of a freshly cut open fish.
Thanks in advance!
resolved Gumball Featurette (SOLVED) Web Original
I’ve been using my VPN provider to access some YouTube videos from Cartoon Network Asia and Australia that were formerly available in Canada. However, I'm having trouble finding a featurette for The Amazing World of Gumball that begins with Richard singing along with the theme music.
June 17, 2024 UPDATE: I just found it. It's the Season 2 Sizzle.

resolved Sonic the hedgehog roleplay website from the 2000s Web Original
I'm looking for an old sonic rp site from the 2000s that was mostly based on Sega!Sonic Canon(though other canons were allowed). The site was really big during the mid 00s - Early 2010s. On the site people could either play as Canon characters or simply create their own OCs (original characters)to play as. The OC profiles were posted on the site.
One of the OCs was a spider OC named Octavia or Ophelia that was bullied alot for being a spider. Another oc was a snake.I believe the site had a forum too.

There was a really cool article I read on Cracked about 1-2 years ago. Can you help me find it?
It was a reader-submitted collection of GIFs. The topic was factory machines.
The only one I remember was a GIF of an old mattress going along a conveyor belt and into some sort of grinding machine.
Sorry that this isn't much to go by, but does anyone recognize this article?
