So I'm looking for a themesong (I think) for something web orginal. Literrally all I can remember is the line "You won't even believe all of the hijinks that he did". Can anyone help?
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 TropeFanaticFanresolved Final Boss Linked to Greed? Videogame
So, I read about this game in a Trope description, but I can't remember which game it was.
Basically, the difficulty of the final boss was directly linked to a room full of treasure. If you opened all the chests and took everything, the boss would be INSANELY hard. If you bypassed the room, the boss would be super easy, like killing a Mook.
Does anyone know what this was?

resolved A videogame about a princess. Videogame
The plot of the game is that the princess is a spoiled brat who gets turned down by a prince and tries to prove her worth by going on a quest. One of the game mechanics is that she can use her tantrums to warp reality to change conditions in dungeons and overcome obstacles.
resolved An old anime show Anime
All i remember is that the Big Bad is a devil with one horn broken off, his minion is a Mushroom Man who gets around via a flying log and the heroes travel through various surreal magical kingdoms. I think one kingdom was full of Bee People and was hive themed.
resolved A show about robots Western Animation
The premise is that in the future Earth has world peace and conflicts are resolved via robots having wierd contests on an alien planet(mostly involving water pistol fights, which electrocutes the robot and stuns them), the Big Bad was a human scientist who worked with another scientist who created the robot protagonist, the Big Bad decided his partners non violent problem solving was a terrible idea (mostly because his partner and the other humans became annoying manchildren and he felt Surrounded by Idiots) so he wanted to use his partners robot technology to bring back war, but his partner sent the robot protagonist to the contest planet, now the Big Bad wants to catch him to get a part that is vital to his plan.
resolved 1990s cartoon about pirate rats Western Animation
I saw it in the 1990s in the USA. I think it was on HBO, Showtime, or one of those other premium cable channels. It was about anthropomorphic rodents, rats mostly I think, but maybe also others. Mostly it was about pirates in the age of sail. I didn't really watch this show, so I don't know much specific about it. I thought it was called "Treasure Island" but I can't find it when searching the web. I remember watching it thinking, "this isn't very much like the book Treasure Island. It must be a very loose adaptation." There were some pirates who were using some kind of magic, like dark arts to curse someone. Another time, someone was shocked and terrified to receive a note with only a black inkblot, which they called The Black Spot or some such, which was basically interpreted as a death threat. I considered the subject matter of the show to be dark and edgy, but I was pretty young at the time. It appeared to be a series or mini-series, but it's possible that it was a feature film. I'm quite certain that it was not The Pirates of Dark Water.
Edited by FerrousFaucetresolved Children's Halloween book Literature
I'm trying to remember the name of a book I read around 2006. It was a picture book taking place on Halloween. It had three kids going trick or treating. All of them were unhappy about something (the kid dressed as a pirate had to bring his younger sister, the kid dressed as a scientist had his lab coat turn pink in the wash, and the girl had to wear a fairy costume). They were also being followed by a mean girl who made fun of them. Each time, one of them would find a way to escape her by doing something themed to their costume (I remember the one dressed as a scientist created an invisibility potion). It ended with the girl dressed as a fairy turning the mean girl into a toad.
resolved Short story about a growing, plantlike ink creature Literature
There was this short story I read in some anthology book a few years ago. However, I'm pretty sure the story itself was written much earlier than that, possibly in the 60's or 70's.
The story starts out with a rich man who is annoyed to find a little spot of ink on his tablecloth. A tiny dot is actually shown below the paragraph. The man calls his butler to clean the tablecloth, but he can't get the stain out. And whenever they turn their backs on the dot, it seems to grow (the dot is frequently illustrated below each paragraph where it's said to be growing, and each time, it is drawn slightly bigger.)
Then they notice that the dot also seems to be sprouting some sort of tendrils, and another man enters (I think he's a policeman or something) who the rich man asks for help. The rich man and the new man go to another room, leaving the butler alone with the ink blot, and when they return, the butler is gone, and the ink blot has grown even more.
The rich man and the other man somehow find out that this is some sort of Botanical Abomination from another dimension, and it will keep growing and consuming everything. The story ends with one last picture of the creature, still a solid black ink blot, but with leaves and other growths, and so big that it takes up the whole page.
To make things worse, this story's "title" was something incomprehensible, I think it was just a few smears of ink. If I could just remember who wrote it...
resolved puppetshow? Live Action TV
I'm looking for an American/English tv show I watched in the 90's in the Netherlands. It was about a family of rabbits or something like that and their neighbors. I'm pretty sure the neighbors were the main characters. Also in one of the house was a mouse holes in which the villains lived who were looking for a magic crystal. I think it was a puppetshow and it definitely wasn't a movie
resolved A supervillain comic Print Comic
It has a Villain Protagonist who is an Expy of Bruce Wayne becoming an Expy of The Joker. He has a blank, white featureless mask and one issue cover had him painting a Slasher Smile on it with blood. IIRC one issue also had him kill president Obama with a spear to the head.
resolved Animated movie I watched when I was little Western Animation
It started with a bunch of duck eggs hatching and their parents giving them names. Then one of them turns out to be mute and the father duck is disappointed. At some point some other bird steals money from the humans. Then the mute duck gets taken in by humans for a while and learns to write. When he gets back to the other ducks, he writes "Hi everybody" on a rock or something and draws a heart around it, but the other ducks don't understand it. Later the birds give the humans back their money and the mute duck gives a girl duck a heart-shaped rock and she doesn't get it.
Edit: It's an adaptation to the Trumpet of the Swan. I misremembered some details, though.
Edited by Hqamiresolved Animated Short about Office Dog and Robot Worker Western Animation
I remember seeing a short about a sort of white office where slowly the dogs in the office who are working are replaced with robots on balls holding pencils, and it gets so absurd eventually the boss himself is replaced. The remaining dog then proceeds to kill off the robots until one is left.
Supposedly it was animated by a similar team that worked on Tron, anybody remember what it is called, if it exists at all?
resolved Time travel story with changing memories Print Comic
I think I read about this one somewhere on TV Tropes. I remember it being a comic book but it might have been something else with visuals involved. The basic story is that a time traveler goes back in time in an attempt to change history. However, it turns out that the time traveler doesn't have Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory, so they keep coming back to the present and being annoyed that nothing changed, even though the comic's illustrations show that they're actually causing greater and greater changes to the timeline.
resolved Cartoon with a cow and other thing in it? Western Animation
I only watched one episode when I was little, and didn't see the ending because I got scared. There was two characters, and one was a cow. I don't remember what the other was but he probably wasn't human. They went back in time to before there was life, and meet an evil guy. The evil guy shows them a puddle and explains how it's the puddle of creation or something like that, and that everything dropped in it changes history. He then drops a coin in it. The cow and other guy go back to present and now everyone has a coin for a head. They go back in time and the evil guy tries to dip the cow's udders in the puddle. At this point I got too scared to watch.
resolved Fox Kids shorts about a monkey that lived with two kids Western Animation
It was a series of shorts that were aired in Fox Kids' commercial breaks. The intro despicted a monkey spitting (the spit is colored green, by the way) in a mad scientist's face and running away from his creepy lab. Then he shows up on some kids' (brother and sister, if I recall correctly) house and they adopt him, while hiding him from their parents. The episodes themselves had little, maybe nothing to do with the mad scientist - they were mainly about the boy, the girl and the monkey doing some shenanigans. The humor was a little crude, with a lot of spitting from the monkey, when he got scared or angry. I also remember he said some words here and there, but he didn't really talk as the human characters. The only episode I remember is the one in which the boy is angry because he has a pimple on his forehead. His sister tells him not to try to pop it up or it will only get bigger, but he insists in doing so, in front of a mirror. The pimple grows to ridiculous proportions and pops, throwing pus everywhere. The monkey laughs at the boy, who gets back at him by squeezing his pimple again, shooting pus on the monkey. The monkey strikes back by spitting on the boy and I guess the episode ends with them shooting pus and spit in each other. Other than that, I think that the show's title is the monkey's name, but I'm not that sure.
Edit: I considered they may have aired those shorts only in Latin America, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Edited by VicShooterresolved A movie about a character in a toy world. Film
The premise is that the main character is a kid who likes toys that gets summoned to a toy world to fight an evil overlord. He gets the ability to copy the powers of any one toy so he picks his favourite - a Buzz Lightyear like toy that was recalled because of a defect that made it fall apart if you bent its limbs wrong, it turns out the evil overlord is the toy itself who wants to conquer the toy world as revenge for being recalled and the kid defeats him by using the defect to make him fall apart.

I think it was Disney, about a kid that finds a dog, but then the kid can understand dogs. And the dog explains he came from another planet to make sure a plan to dominate the planet is going through.
