resolved witch and talking cauldron Live Action TV
There was this show I used to watch in the 90's about witch who lived in a gingerbread, together with her talking cauldron. I think it had a minimalist cast of about three character per episode and UI seem to remember the witch using "heads will roll." a lot, might even have been her catchprase. I'm also pretty it was a British show.
The Ginger Bread House page is no help since it only has two listings under live action and none are what I'm looking for.

Where did SMG4 get this audio
of a guy saying "Take it away, fellas"? That voice sounds very familiar somehow.
resolved Old fisher-price video game Videogame
When I was a toddler, say 2005, I had a Fisher Price video game that involved a pad that was connected wirelessly to my tv. I put different cards onto the screen of the pad, and that made different games show up on the tv. There was a game about Barney the dinosaur throwing a surprise birthday party, a game where Mr. Krabs forces Spongebob to capture all the jellyfish in Bikini Bottom, and a game about Cookie Monster. I had others that I don't remember. The cards on the pad had different buttons that you could choose. When you touched something on the pad, it made something happen on the tv.
resolved hidden objects mobile game Videogame
This is a mobile game that I got for free on the Google Play Store about a year ago.
It's a hidden objects game, but instead of looking for everyday things lying around a room, you are looking for objects - they can range from animals, to food, to household appliances, and so on - in a huge clump of objects positioned and colored to look like one big object.
In some levels, you have to find all the objects listed. In other levels, you have to find as many specific objects as you can before the time runs out.
There's a hint button that dims the lights a little, and creates a spotlight to indicate where an item is located.
After completing a certain number of puzzles, you must solve a jigsaw puzzle. Once you solve it, you unlock a new level. (You start out with two levels, and one is chosen at random each time you play.)
I could have sworn it was called something like "Little Things", but I tried searching that and couldn't find it.
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 An old animated cartoon involving a human boy, an elephant girl, and many songs Western Animation
When I was four or five, so like say 2005, I had this short animated film on video tape. I think it was probably made in the 90's. It was about this little elephant girl (I think it was an elephant) who was on her way to an animal fair with her friend. The film featured many classic childhood songs such as I Wish I Was a Fish (sung by the elephant after she gets stung by a bee in her trunk), I Went To the Animal Fair, Aikendrum, a song about police sung by two gophers, a song sung about a lazy girl, and a song in the beginning that went something like "It's a hap, hap, happy day, so come on let's sing and play. Sing a song that feels just right, sing a song that's happy and bright...". At the very end. the elephant girl met a boy and they floated in a hot air balloon together while singing about holding hands.
Edited by Loopytires55resolved Power Rangers Side-Scroller Computer Game Videogame
Alright, this might be a little vague, but I'm looking for the name of a side-scroller game for PC featuring the Power Rangers. It would have been made/ released between 1998 and 2005. Probably.
The game mechanics are pretty simple: you navigate a Power Ranger riding on a flying jetski (a jetjammer?) up/ down to avoid obstacles, while shooting at the enemies who are flying in from the right side of the screen. I think the enemies had grey, humanoid bodies (perhaps putties from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers?). The blaster had only one sound effect and I can remember it clear as day: two mechanical clicks followed by two muted explosions, like "chick-chick pew, pew." (My siblings, who remember the game about as well as I do, used to joke that it sounded like a robot saying "kitty-bow-bow," with stress on the "KIT" part of "kitty.") I think the scrolling background was of pixelated brick walls, fire escapes, and other generic urban scenery.
The game was very cheaply made/ cheap looking, and I think it might have been the sort of game you get as a CD that comes in a box of cereal. Any help figuring out what this game was called would be appreciated!
Edited by Leporidaeresolved [Solved] Indie film about a hotel with a haunted room = Film.Appetite Film
I remember this indie / art film from the late Eighties to early Nineties about this hotel in London or thereabouts, which had this one room where a murder / suicide occurred. It was closed off afterward, and became a kind of legend among the hotel staff. The hotel also has this one morose chef who goes on a drug binge every month or so, and creates oodles of elaborate desserts, far beyond what the guests and staff can possibly consume. Anyone remember this peculiar but nondescript film?
Edited by oneuglybunnyresolved Flash game about paper and drawing Videogame
There was this flash game I loved playing, probably some time in the early 2010s. You're playing as a wadded up ball of paper, and you have to roll it to the finish in each level. You can draw with the mouse to create platforms for the ball of paper. I think there were pencils and/or erasers as obstacles. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
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?

And I think it has, or had, an article on The Other Wiki...
resolved Strategy Game I can't remember the name of Videogame
I'm trying to remember the name of a strategy game I played on Wii Classic Console many years ago. All I can really remember of it is that it was like Advance Wars, but set on the moon and without C Os. It was also really hard.

Edited by Binditheskunkresolved A novel I read in school Literature
I remember a book I read for independent reading in school. It was about a girl whose legs didn't work, and so she was an outcast in her village. Seriously, her neighbors tried to sacrifice her as a baby because of her disability. It was a pretty depressing book, actually.
resolved 1990s TV ad (USA) Live Action TV
Early 1990s, I used to see a commercial on television. It was targeted for parents. The product advertised was a handheld, battery-powered portable video game that had many pre-programmed games. I don't think it used cartridges or game cards or diskettes or anything like that, it was just pre-programmed games. The screen was a black-and-white dot matrix, I'm pretty sure about that. It was advertised to have a large number of games ("over 300 games" or something) but I was under the impression that they inflated that number by including variants of the same game. For example, remember Tetris? Remember how Tetris had "Type-A" and "Type-B" gameplay? According to this advertisement, those were two different games. I think Tetris was actually a pre-programmed game (or some similar kind of falling block puzzle game at least).
Now what really makes this advertisement memorable is that the (male) announcer tells the parents, "NEVER buy those expensive video game cartridges again!!" and the picture showed a close-up of a hand dropping a video game cartridge into a wastebasket. I particularly remember that the game shown was the Super NES version of Street Fighter II. As a kid, I instantly recognized it because I owned that game and it was one of the most popular games at that time. This means the commercial I'm looking for was probably aired in 1992 or 1993. Even as a kid I thought this was absurd, because I knew that game cost about $70 and the announcer described it as "expensive" so it wouldn't make sense for a parent to throw it into the trash, even if they bought a new handheld device with over 300 games.
resolved About kidnappers in a modern urban setting Film
A friend showed me this film in about the year 2009. I think it was fairly new at the time (it seemed pretty modern so I'm guessing it came out at least after the year 2000). I don't remember much specific about it but it was almost certainly R-rated. It took place in an urban setting. At least one of the characters was a child, I think. I think there was a mother whose child had been kidnapped. Or maybe she herself was kidnapped. She tried to escape and was frantically going through the house of the kidnappers. She found evidence that the kidnappers (a married couple I believe) had abducted children and then killed them, and recorded it for snuff films. She found a trove of these films in a closet or something, and was of course appalled. I think she pointed a gun at the kidnapper and was fearful, but he wasn't aggressive towards her. Instead he was apologetic and he and his wife both admitted they had done something wrong and they needed help. The woman took a child with her and escaped the kidnappers. I also have a vague recollection of an outdoor (urban) scene at night, possibly with lights reflecting off a wet road. What's so memorable to me about this is that my friend told me that this movie was supposed to be a retelling of the Alice in Wonderland story, modernized of course. It was clear that it wasn't meant to be a literal adaptation, but more like how O Brother Where Art Thou is a modern retelling of The Odyssey. Maybe very loosely based on the source material and only sharing some of the themes. I thought at the time that the film seemed violent and depressing (although I don't remember any on-screen violence, just that it was implied with the child murders and all).
resolved Movie about American Folk Tales Film
This was a live action movie I saw sometime between 2009-2011. It takes place in America in the 1800s. The Kid Hero must protect a deed from a villainous businessman named Stiles. He calls on the help of various characters from American folk tales, like Paul Bunyan. The climax takes place in an old mine shaft or train tunnel, which collapses, killing Stiles.
resolved Chica's voice in SMG4 videos
In Supermarioglitchy4s Super Mario 64 Bloopers, whenever Chica appears, she's usually heard making chicken sounds or shouting "PIZZAAAAA!" (See here
for example.) The voices in the two clips sound the same, so I think they're from the same source. Does anyone know where they came from?
resolved Kids in Space Live Action TV
I am trying to remember the name of this kids show about a group of kids who snuck aboard a spacecraft and said spacecraft wen through a wormhole and they need to get home. I remember there being adults on board, a man and a woman; also a robot.
And there was this one episode where the girl with rainbow hair could do like a sonic scream thing.

I can't remember when I saw it, whether it's a cartoon or an anime. All I remember is some guy saying the phrase "To me, my sword!" and said sword flying intro his hand.
