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 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.
Edited by Mitsy56resolved Sci-fi Animation on YouTube Web Original
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.
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 "Cracked" article Web Original
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?
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.

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.
Edited by MisterToodleooresolved 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 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 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 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 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 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 dutchguy1986resolved 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.

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?

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?
