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.
Edited by CanuckMcDuck1resolved 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 DrunkenRockLeeresolved 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.
Edited by monkeyheroineresolved 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 YuriHaru567resolved 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 Book recommendation site that ranks books according to various metrics Web Original
Metrics include amount of sexual content, weird vs. conventional, complicated vs. straightforward, and a whole lot of others I've forgotten about, so you can get very specific about the kind of book you're looking for. You can also sort books by country. I found If I Fall, If I Die through that website, and I think they also have a page on An Unkindness of Ghosts.
Edit: Found it! It's whichbook.net.
Edited by Madison14resolved Are you Bruce Wayne? Solved batman 48 Web Original
I have a question about a Batman comic cover that gets joked about on the internet. Batman is showing a bunch of kids that the batcave is under Wayne manor. Naturally it's been edited so that one of the kids asks if he is Bruce Wayne but what comic is that the cover for?
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.

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 OffTheRails example without a link or works page Web Original
The trope page for Off the Rails has an example that does not have a work page or a link to it and I cannot find it anywhere because it has such a generic name. Does anybody know where to find the series that this example is referring to? The only other information that I have is that it is a web video series because the link to the nonexistent work page says web video.
The players manage to very quickly break their first quest during one of the early episodes of Role Play. Having retrieved a magical glass orb and an Infinity –1 Sword they attempt to have them identified before returning them to the quest giver. Since formal identification turned out to be too expensive one player decided to learn more about the orb by dropping it on the ground to see if it smashes. It did. Having failed the quest the players decided that they might as well ignore the quest giver and wander off with the powerful weapon. The GM sends an assassin after the party who seemed to be powerful enough to have killed them all in a fair fight, but they somehow manage to trip her and then pin her underneath an unconscious party member whilst impaling her through the arm. The following week the GM gave up on heavily planned quests and kept preparations brief since it was clear that his players were too unpredictable to railroad.
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 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?
resolved 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?
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?
