Edited by ElBuenCuateresolved Trying to find a Pokémon spin-off. Videogame
I vaguely remember hearing about a Pokémon spin-off that was apparently a Programming Game, yet I cannot find any information about it. The only other detail I can recall about it is that the protagonists had an Orange/Blue Contrast (boy wore blue, girl wore orange). Anybody willing to help me find it?

resolved Dark comedy/thriller(?): pregnant twin sisters, religious father tries to kill their boyfriends Film
Hi, everyone! I’m trying to identify a movie I watched a long time ago on Fox (possibly late 90s or early 2000s). I don’t remember the title or the actors and details about the plot are a bit fuzzy in my head, but maybe someone here can help me.
I'm almost positive it was an american movie, maybe an indie/television film. The movie starts off as something of a comedy or dramedy, but I remember it turning increasingly darker and more violent toward the end.
Here's what I remember about the plot:
It’s set in a small town or rural area.
The plot involves two guys who supposedly got twin sisters pregnant. In truth, only one of the girls is actually pregnant — the other one lies about it to convince her boyfriend to marry her. The girls' plan is for both of them to marry their respective boyfriends at the same time.
The girls' father is a big, balding, strict and very religious man, obsessed with chastity and morality. He either invites or forces the guys to live in his house and keeps a close eye on them. He repeatedly calls the guys "fornicators" (or something to that effect) when he's mad and he is constantly suspicious they're sleeping with his daughters. I remember a scene in which the father literally bursts through a wall with his head trying to catch one of them in the act—although it's a misunderstanding.
Eventually, the girl who’s truly pregnant loses the baby - I don’t remember if it's a spontaneous miscarriage or if it happens as a result of an accident, but it's a somewhat intense scene.
As the movie progresses, their father becomes more unhinged and violent, and eventually tries to kill the guys. It seemed like an almost Genre Shift altogether, in which their father stops at nothing until he kills both men.
I have this vague idea that, by the end, the father eventually gets killed either by both guys or by accident and they escape without the girls.
And that's all I remember from this (weird) plot. I appreciate any help.
Edited by VicShooterresolved Kids go into the TV Live Action TV
I remember this old Discovery Kids show where a group of siblings end up inside the TV and find their favourite personalities, who all happen to be rude and fake.
- The girl admired an newscaster who just happened to alwasy use greenscreen for her reports.
- The boy admired some famous atlete promoting milk, when he doesn't even like milk.
- The kid admired some private eye who never made his own stunts.
resolved Wingman tactic
A girl plays wingman (wingwoman?) for a guy, making him seem desirable by acting like he'd broken their heart in the past. Suddenly all the other girls find him hot.
resolved shounen manga about magic weapons from god Anime
I'm looking for a manga people gets weapon from god as do demons. Humans level by fighting demons while demons get stronger by killing humans. The mc gets a lowranking sword while his childhood friend gets a powerful weapon and is immediately recruited by a party. The MC sets out on his own and it turns out his sword can steal the ability from other weapons, whether they are owned by humans or demons. I'm pretty sure his sword is described as being more like a demon's weapon than a human one
resolved Looking for TV Show (spoilers for show included)
It was I believe a Hong Kong show, but it could be Taiwan too (it's been some years since I found it) though I could be wrong. It had four main characters - an older gentleman who's wife ended up getting arrested, a token female character, a more comedic member of the team who could lip read and had a condition where he would go temporarily deaf (?), and a suspect of the first case who was a boyfriend of the victim but ended up joining the group after. He ends up dating the female lead, but they break up and she ends up with the other guy. I know it was on Netflix (US) but I'm pretty sure was taken off. Does anyone know the name?
Edited by WhoThey7resolved Homestar Runner clip with Strong Bad, a labradoodle, and a sacrificial fruit. Web Original
I saw a clip from a “Homestar Runner out of context” video a few years back where Strongbad meets a dog (possibly a labradoodle) after mistaking it for a papasan chair. The dog starts barking/howling, so Strongbad gets what he calls “Sacrificial Fruit” (resembling an orange or a grapefruit iirc) and gives it to the dog. It wasn’t animated in the show’s usual style and looked more like a simplistic uncolored notebook doodle. I haven’t been able to find it nor the out of context video since.
resolved President's Day Bumper Western Animation
Around the mid-to-late 2000s, I remember seeing a bumper celebrating President's Day on a children's network, which I believe to be Nickelodeon. I remember it being animated like a Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch in that it used very crude cut-outs, and the premise was George Washington and Abraham Lincoln getting into an argument over which of them is the real face of President's Day in song form. One scene I remember very vividly was George as a quarter flicking away Lincoln as a penny into the Lincoln Memorial, where upon the penny lands on the chair and transforms into the statue. The thing is, I can't find it for the life of me online. Can anyone here find it?
resolved Gatcha manga Anime
As the title says I'm looking a gatcha manga. It is not an isekai and it is set in the "real" world. The mc is incredibly stingy and lives with his two younger siblings. Somehow he gets acces to a gatcha machine that uses cash and he pulls a girl from it. I don't think it's action more comedy but the girl's solution to everything is to try and get the mc to use the gacha machine until he gets rare item that fits their situation while he makes her use cheap items that still get the job done instead
