resolved Romance (?) novelist Literature
A while back, I remember watching this documentary series on a romance/mystery novelist that I can't remember the name of. All that I remember is that she was a British woman, and that her works were most popular in the 1980s. I also remember her sister was a popular-ish actress who also decided to write books in the same vein to cash in on her sister's success.
Anyone have a clue as to who she was?
resolved Album cover Music
Album cover with a girl smiling and looking up? I think she had black hair or something. From the 90s

What Spongebob episode is this image from? I found it floating around Reddit a few weeks back.
resolved Country song Music
Country song from the 2000s-2010s. Has the lyrics "with a woo-hoo" or something similar? I think it features car horns in place of some lyrics.

resolved Children's book about gnomes Literature
I remember reading a children's novel about gnomes sometime between 1995 and 2000. It was in Dutch, but I don't know if that was the original language or if it was a translation. The story was structured fairly episodically - the one scene I remember is that the gnomes organized a wedding for two butterflies. They had named the butterflies and had spelled out their initials in acorns or seeds or something like it (or maybe just scratched it in the dirt?), but the butterflies weren't getting it and moved to the wrong letters.
Gnomes ("Kabouters" in Dutch) being very popular in Dutch children's books, Google isn't helping me out much. I get inundated with gnome books by Rien Poortvliet, but I'm pretty sure that's not it.
resolved kids songs about a yellow man who had a sock-obsessed pet worm Music
There was an app on a smart tv that i had around 2014-2015 that had a bunch of songs with music videos. They were in a watercolor style and the animation was (as far as i can remember) tweened. a character that was in the songs was a yellow guy with a head that slightly resembles an onion. in one of the music videos, he had a black eye and was holding a piece of meat up to it. There was also a pink worm that had a whole song about how much it likes wearing socks. I asked my mother about this and she remembered that there was a cat named cheddar and a song that mentioned cinnamon rolls somewhere. here's a drawing of the yellow man and the worm https://imgur.com/a/pyzh8Fj
resolved Looking for kids show from childhood
Looking for a show from childhood about a monkey with a house with magical rooms that he would go on with his 4 (maybe 5?) friends. This was a show that began airing in the 2010’s on Nick JR, with a target audience of young kids.
resolved Old black and white webcomic made from clip art Webcomic
This was an old (2000s) surrealist webcomic that was black and white (no greyscale if I remember correctly), and made of clip art. The main character was a smiling 1950s dad smoking a pipe, with his wife and children. I remember a sun(?) with a terrifying face that said GAZE UPON MEEEEE.
resolved Regular girl vs Evil Kiddiepool Webcomic
I was convinced the comic was called Infestation or Infection, but searching by these names yields no relevant results. It starts with a girl on current-day earth, who has encountered shoggoth-like alien mass-murderer and fugitive from interstellar justice. It's a finished work, with only 99 pages. Drives me crazy that i can't find it!
resolved Film about serial killer killing people to form a human-sized "doll" with their parts Film
I'm looking for a film from some 20 years ago (ca. 2003-2004). The main villain was a university professor who killed women for their body parts: the first, I think, was an opera singer for her arms, and her body was put on display in her office; the second was a psychiatrist or doctor who invited the villain for dinner, was drugged, has her legs cut off and her body was put on display on the beach; the third victim was male, and, IIRC, the villain's childhood friend who was bald and hospitalized; the fourth victim the killer chose was one of his students for her torso, but he accidentally scares her she hurts her belly on the stairs from her university. The college student begins something of a romantic atraction with the black-haired detective. In the final confrontation, the villain has kidnapped the college student and the detective tosses the villain and the human "doll" from the window into the sea.
If memory serves, the opening credits say the film was based on, I think, a novel titled Il Impalatore or something.
I think it was a European movie, maybe British, French, Spanish or Italian. It's not too "American Horror"-gory.
EDIT: The killer replaces the body parts with mannequin parts.

I remember watching back in 2008 a youtube series built around Lost using action figures to parody the series, with Hurley dying in about every episode.
Does anyone else remember it?
resolved Scene in a war movie
I was just reminded of this half-remembered scene from a war movie I saw on TV when I was relatively young, and figured I'd throw this out in case anyone is familiar.
I'm relatively certain it was a World War movie, involving some British (or possibly American? Like I said, half-remembered) soldiers. They're trapped somewhere by machinegun nests / mortars / snipers / something along those lines. Running out of food and/or medicine, one soldier decides to run into the no-man's-land past their fortification to retrieve some airdropped supplies that landed there.
His allies are convinced it's suicidal, but their hopes rise when he actually manages to reach one of the boxes. As he rushes back, they're filled with tension and hope — then, of course, he gets killed. The icing on the tragedy cake: the box he was carrying spills open, revealing that it contained nothing but spare hats or something equally useless. My admittedly-unreliable memory is of it being red berets, specifically, but take that with a big grain of salt.
Edited by Dirtyblue929resolved TGIF show from the mid-90s
I'm trying to remember the name of this show: it was a sitcom on ABC's TGIF block in the mid 90s about a single black father and his three teenage sons. I don't think it ran very long and I can't remember much about it- I think the father owned a movie theater.
resolved Circus Movie Film
The only that I remember of this movie is that teenage boy finds himself in a Circus/Freakshow place, I don't know if he has some powers like the other characters. Sorry if it is vague, but that's all I got.

resolved Identifiying a V.A. in an infamous PSA
I've heard a lot of claims that the talking dog in an infamous Above the Influence PSA was voiced by James Arnold Taylor. However, since he has not said anything about this being the case, I'm presuming it's just speculation.
Does anybody have any possible evidence to back it up?

I'm looking for a short comic from the Thargs future shocks whose polot goes like this:
A pair of art thieves visit a gallery to find the most valuable piece to steal. They settle on a weird painting that is contained behind very thick bars. They saw through the bars to get at it, but instantly disappear. The next morning the curator takes a new group of tourists through the exposition, explaining that the painting is actually alive and the bars are not meant to protect the painting from people, but to protect people from the painting. The thieves are seen being tortured in Hell inside the painting.
