resolved Somewhat surreal CGI animated short on YouTube about how media influences self image Web Original
There was a CGI animated short film on You Tube with a robotic being with an extendable neck, a box body, and a white face that went into the uncanny valley. The being was in front of a tv that displayed a picture of a human woman, leading to the being trying to imitate its appearance. As it gradually imitates the woman, the tv moves higher up, leading to the being extending its neck as high as possible while trying to look more like it until it gives out, collapses, and shatters its face. It might’ve been called “Doll” or something similar but no results came up when searching it. If I had to guess, it was made between the mid-2010’s or the early 2020’s.

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 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 Animated music video Web Original
I remember a webcartoon in the form of an Animated music video for a jazz song about a casino eployee girl of dark complexion on the run after stealing a diamond (tuened oyt to be a bomb).
The sole line "Even though I may have crossed the line."
resolved Old werehog sonic fanart Web Original
I remember there was this fanart of Sonic the werehog becoming a ghost: The werehog dead body was lying on the ground, his ghost was hovering above his body. There was this purple hair ghost girl embracing him .
In the background Chip(a reddish chihuahua fairy thing) was crying in the background
Can anyone tell me the name of this fanart or provide a link?
resolved WiggleWood Web Original
Wiggle Wood is a series of funny animated shorts done in the manner of cutscenes in an old computer-based RPG from the 90s, complete with pixel art graphics and intentionally subpar voice-acting. As of now, there are four main characters. A barbarian wielding a sword, a wizard dressed in blue and yellow, Wormdahl the evil wizard (and the only known character with a name), and a succubus who is Wormdahl's reluctant companion. One such example of a short is "Magician's Brick", where the barbarian and wizard encounter a magic-proof orc guarding a bridge before the wizard tosses a brick at its head and killing it instantly.
Edited by Caeden113resolved Pebbles Quest Web Original
I know the name of the series and its creator (Atastic on Youtube), but I wanted to verify whether or not it has an existing page here. It's a series of short cartoons about a diminutive knight who vocalizes in train whistle noises. I did search the wiki already, but since none of the earlier cartoons have the series title in the name and there was a spiritual precursor in MasterQuest, I figured it could've had a trope page made under a different name.
Edited by KiriKresolved Pollination song Web Original
I remember seeing this old You Tube video at least ten years ago, it was this children's song about pollination and kind of cheaply animated. The lyrics went "Pollination, pollination, the process of a plant", something I don't remember, then "dogs and birds and man."
resolved Archive blog about bad media Web Original
There was this one-person blog (not on Tumblr, and the person who ran it was female IIRC) that had write-ups about the worst books and movies she'd ever seen. She'd then do an analysis about what made the media so bad.
For instance, there was one book she wrote about (don't remember the name at the moment) where the author put "bestselling author" on the cover. The blogger pointed out that the book didn't appear on any ranking lists, so the author was using manipulative wording.
resolved A short story on deviant accompanied by a drawing showing a girl petrified in a cave or on a beach Web Original
What I remember: A short story on deviantart about a girl who goes to a beach or a cave and enjoys it so much that she wishes to stay there forever. As a result she turns into a fully aware statue. She remains that way forever. The story really played up the And I Must Scream aspects of being petrified.
The short story had a drawing of the petrified girl either in a beach or in a cave

resolved Prehistoric CGI Cartoon Web Original
I remember a while back about a CGI cartoon on YouTube that was set in a prehistoric-like world with these Mons based on Dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures where people with a stone-like device can tame and summon Mons along with having some competition based on it. I think it was based on a video game. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
resolved Mario Party video that's eluded me for years. Web Original
I have done a lot of my own digging to find this one specific video which (despite remembering so much from) I cannot find the video or it’s creator.
The main things that the video had was (given the title) reviews of games that were “knockoffs” of Mario Party (one of these games was Fuzion Frenzy), and an opening sketch where two of the reviewer’s friends were fighting to the death over a Mario Party gone wrong.
I also know that this creator made a sequel video, and also during that time covered Grabbed by the Ghoulies. I’d estimate the video was made around 2013-17.
Also, the creator was not Connor The Waffle or Austin Eruption

resolved Puppet Bunker Series Web Original
I remember way back in the day that I watched this series on Youtube that was sort of like "Glove and Boots" meets Mushroom Land with a sprinkling of Fallout. From what I can remember, it was a puppet show made for kids who were currently in an underground bunker after some disaster (I think nuculear fallout, but it could be something else). I remember there being four episodes, but they could have made more, with the last episode being a sort of quiz with every correct answer praising the bunker. Any idea of what I'm trying to remember?
resolved A youtube horror short Web Original
I forget all the details, but a guy goes into a small building (I think it's offering free somethings) and ends up talking with this "person" made of what looks like ground meat with a smiley face carved into it before eventually the walls fall down, revealing the man is just a pillar on the floor (both made of ground meet seemingly) and the guy gets eaten by monster that was using under the building and using it as a lure (the meat pillar was part of the monster the whole time) before it resets the trap.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found it, it's The Christmas Grotto by Will Mc Daniel.
Edited by TheFacelessOneresolved Very old Article that claims the legend of Zelda is Nazi propaganda Web Original
Many years ago on an obscure gaming site , I remember stumbling upon an article that claimed the The Legend Of Zelda series is actually nazi propaganda The reasons the article gave: 1) Link and Zelda are Aryan due to their blond hair and blue eyes. 2) Said The master sword is a reference to the "Master Race" theory in Nazism 3) Ganondorf is a Jew because of his big nose and dark skin 4) The deku tree is a reference to white supremacist druids that worship trees 5) The name "Navi" is similar to the word "nazi"
Can anyone tell me the name of this article?
Edited by monkeyheroineresolved A web animation where Modern Sonic goes back in time with Tails Web Original
Several years ago I remember seeing a. 2d-animated web animation about sonic going back in time with Tails and meets Classic Sonic in the year 1991.
When the two meet Modern Sonic tells classic Sonic about all the friends he has met (Knuckles and shadow). He describes Knuckles as having the IQ of Tinfoil and shadow as having no personality outside of folding his arms
Classic Sonic replies that those people sound like the lamest group of jackasses on the planet and that he never hopes to meet any of them. This causes tails to fade from existence.
resolved Edgy Russian animations on youtube Web Original
I remember there was this series of animated shorts on Youtube in a simplistic but well-done black and white style, which mostly consisted of the creator rambling philosophically about various topics in Russian (but with in-video English subtitles). His takes were really edgy for the time and even now, like saying prostitution should be legal (including for child prostitutes) and how we should solve world hunger by cannibalizing undesirables (which meant conservatives and vegans). At one point, he goes on a rant about something and suicide dares w/e he is rambling about by shouting in English "JUST DO IT" and miming shooting himself in the head. This was sometime during the late 2000s to VERY early 2010s and the titles were in English, but I wouldn't know what to start for looking them up and frankly I don't want the key words to be in my search history.
EDIT: It's Mr. Freeman on Youtube! And... yeah this seires is garbage lmao just blatant conspiracy nonsense
Edited by DrunkenRockLee

I remember seeing a sci-fi show on You Tube and while I remember details of it I can't remember the name.
It has a Manti aliens as the ships doctor who occasionally eats human bodies, and tiger alien, and the captain was a British woman with a cap.
There was also a Spanish speaking bounty hunter dressed on white with a skull mask who might've had a romantic history with the captain.
Edit
I looked in my likes list, it's called Frontier Zero.
