openHelp me find this Web Original

I couldnt find the episode , i think jeff the killer was in it but im not sure. I mainly want to know what anime the girl getting cut up scene was from.
openStop motion battle video with G. I. Joes and transformers Web Original
I used to watch this video all the time as a kid; it had G.I. Joe attacking a army of other toys on a (IIRC) white table with the transformers on the other side of the toys but switching half through and the battle ends when a dude(maybe a kid) walks into the room and the toys stop moving and I guess go back to being regular toys. It has to be from at least before 2015 and has a non-zero chance of getting deleted or removed but I would really like to see it again.
openDoctor Who Fan-Made PSA Web Original
Has any YouTuber ever spoofed the "don't drink and drive" public safety announcements, and all the times the titular character of Doctor Who wrecked the TARDIS by regenerating inside it, by making a Gallifreyan "don't fly and regenerate" public safety announcement?

I used to click around on this... European (?) edutainment site as a little little kid that seemed to be flash-based and whose mascots were a crudely-drawn/animated yellow koala — I think it had a hat, perhaps a beret — and a larger blue animal that resembled a bear.
A lot of the flash games were culturally-based; I believe there was a Hanukkah one? I don't remember much about what it had to offer in terms of learning, and I can't remember what the appeal was to me, either. The flash animation was weirdly trippy, though. It's a confusingly vivid, yet vague memory.
Edited by mabelsguidetolifeopenYouTube animation about a highschool guy and a ghost Web Original
This appeared in my recommendations once months ago. When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought this would be a Dude, That's My Ghost ripoff, paused it to read the comments first and turns out it's not what I think it is.
I got carried away by a lot of tabs of videos I have to watch before that so I closed it and made a mistake that I didn't save it on Liked Videos or Watch Later and now I forgot the title.
iirc one of the comments said this animation was originally in Russian and they were glad for it getting English dubbed, I might be wrong.
openText-based forum-hosted interactive fiction story about Greek Gods Web Original
So I vaguely remember reading a forum-based interactive fiction story about a group of young men and women who wake up in a prison. They can't remember who they are or how they got there, but they know their names. And their names are all from Greek mythology. And they all had some sort of power related to their name.
I know that, of the main cast in that story, there was a Thanatos who was a big, gentle and kind-hearted dude. An Atropos existed too. There was an Athena who was the protagonist of the story's sequel.
I cannot remember what this thing is, for the life of me, and it'll bother me to the rest of my days if I don't get its name so I can read it again.
openArtistic Hypnosis Website Web Original
I remember coming across this site about a decade or so ago. My memory of it is unfortunately very hazy but here's what I remember.
1) It seemed to be a website curated by one person. In other words, this wasn't somebody's deviantart or a small piece of a larger website. It was one person sharing their art and ideas with the world.
2) The "art" and "ideas" were pretty much exclusively about hypnotism and mind control. The tone straddled the line between artsy and erotic. Neither truly pornographic nor entirely safe for work.
3) What I remember most vividly is the pictures. They looked like photos but were altered in some way, making them look exaggerated, as though they existed in some kind of heightened reality. Admittedly, some of that could just be my young and impressionable memories playing tricks on me.
4) Some of the pictures were animated, such as the swinging of a pendulum or the swirling of hypnotic eyes. Some also had text beside them, like a short story related to the image. I also think different types of pictures were kept on different pages (such as one page for animated gifs, another for stories, etc.). There might have been other categories as well but I don't remember them.
openA chaotic, semi-anime web series on youtube Web Original
I don't remember much but I do remember some of the characters. There was a bigger girl who dyed her hair purple, a ninja girl that could pass for a guy, an angel, a devil with hair like Johnny Bravo, some crazy girl who could turn into a being of pure fire or into some moon-powered wind warrior, and some girl who treated the ninja girl like a dog... I think there were more characters but I dont really remember them

resolved 3-D animated childhood-ruining YouTube video (FOUND) Web Original
(MATURE CONTENT AHEAD. I swear this isn't a creepypasta.)
I remembered watching this old youtube video when I was eight years old. I don't remember the title, but I remember this video clearly. It was a 3-D animated parody of Donald Duck, and it starred him and his nephew, Louie. All of the dialogue was in text to speech, with Donald himself having an ungodly deep voice.
The video opened with Donald telling his nephew that it must be hard to live without a mother. I don't remember exactly what was said afterward, but I do remember Donald mentioning that Dewey got himself a homeless man as a roommate, while Huey was seen outside fisting a dead deer.
This is when the weird part came in. Donald suggested that he become Louie's mother, and proceeded to put on a dress. At this point, Louie said "Uncle, please put your clothes back on." Donald didn't do as he asked; instead, he forced Louie to "suck milk from his mother's breast". Which he did.
After Donald was done doing more acts that I can't really say on this forum, he tucked Louie into his bed and whispered this before he closed the door:
"Sleep tight, my baby. Tomorrow, we'll start over."
The video ended with Louie hanging by a noose on a tree in the backyard.
Edited by YuriHaru567openChinese Characters Stick Animation Web Original
I used to attend a school with a Chinese immersion program and one of the things the teacher would do is play a stick animation that ended in something that represented a Chinese character. It would then show the progression from the pictogram to different iterations of the character until the modern version.
open[2022] Garfield ARG Web Original
I remember it involving Gilbert Gottfried for some reason, and it (I think) came out after his death??
openSearching for a bittersweet short Web Original
It was a short I saw once on youtube, it starts live action with animated elements but the animation progressively takes over. Its about two best friends and they start testing each other's friendship by asking things like "would you be my friend if i had pasta fingers" or "would you be my friend if i had a hump on my back that sounded like bagpipes?" But these things would become true, although they didnt seem to notice. Eventually one says "would you still love me if you couldn't see, hear, touch or feel me?" and she ceases to exist. I NEED to see this short again!!
openCreepypasta about a limited-time healing serum Web Original
A friend of mine was looking to find a creepypasta, about a temporary healing serum. They described it like this:
"There were a large amount of people invited to this building and were given drinks (I think it was wine, but I’m not sure). The person that invited them was some sort of…scientist? Salesman? Both? Either way, he is accompanied by a man strapped to a table who, to the shock of the crowd, is sliced. However, after the laceration was formed..it instantly heals up. It is revealed that the scientist person created a serum that gives people instant healing, essentially immortality..and the wine contained this serum.
There was stunned silence for a while, until a dude from the crowd steps up and asks the crowd to “take a shot at him” given the new serum. Eventually, someone does, the gunshot instantly healing. Eventually, filled with the euphoria of this new and incredible technology, the crowd began to (literally) tear itself apart. They’re practically gods, as no matter how bad the wound, it heals as if nothing happens. A woman tears off her finger nails, and they grow back instantly. Limbs get lopped off and grow back.
This mania halts from a scream. A terrible scream. They turn to the stage/front of the building. The man the scientist person cut earlier screams in pain as the slice reappears, spewing blood, killing him. The scientist reveals that the serum has a…limit, and healed parts re-emerge after this limit. The story ends with the crowd now silent, their inevitable fate sinking in."
If anyone could help us both find this, it would mean a ton, thank you!
openSpaceship Escape Web Original
back in the days of playing on sites like miniclip and addicting games, i clicked on what i thought was a game, but it was a short animated video. there was a girl who woke up on a planet or a spaceship, (and this is why i was confused why it was on a kids gaming site) she was either in a towel or didn't have a top on so she had to hold her arm across her body. then these little alien(?) guys start chasing her and she's being chased through a spaceship, trying to get to the control room. once she escapes and gets to the captains chair, she needs to press a button on both side of the chair, so she has to take her arm off her body and yeah... then the ship takes off. don't know why this was on a kids gaming site or how it got there, but i've always remembered it and want to know wtf it was

Edited by cantrememberopenA 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?
openInternet Safety Video Web Original
I saw a a You Tuber reacting to an internet safety video. The video features a girl named Chloe talking to someone named Niall. It actually gets a little disturbing because at the end, it shows her clothes by a river. Does anyone know what video he reacted to?
I've been on this kick of rewatching old bad Youtube videos I watched back in the day, and there's this one video I recall but don't know the name of that used figures of Sonic, Amy, and NiGHTS. All I really remember from it was that it wasn't stop motion (I think the kid's hand was visibly holding the toys the entire time) and Sonic complimenting NiGHTS' ass for whatever reason.
