openI know it's a Loki centric Avengers fic... Web Original
I remember this really REALLY good Loki centered fanfic that had him come to earth and lay low while screwing with the avengers. And while laying low he starts really REALLY getting into earth culture and all the shit we do signing up for flower arranging, Yoga, Thai cooking classes between messing with the Avengers heads. I'm more then certain at one point he goes to a therapist of his own will. I really want to find and read it again please help!
openJapanese stop-motion Web Original
For some reason not being able to remember the title is REALLY bothering me. Help, anyone? -it's a Japanese stop-motion using dolls (similar to Barbie & Ken) -it features an American family of 3 (parents & son); they seem to live in Japan..or maybe they just speak the language for no good reason -there was an episode where the mother met the son of her childhood crush and would refuse to believe that it is not the guy himself (meanwhile the crush did the same upon meeting her daughter). The guy's name was James and she kept shouting his name in an exaggerated way. -the episodes make little sense and are very high on absurd and abstract humour :) Please help. My brain got stuck on th JAMES (or rather JAAAYMUZU!) part and refuses to move on.
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?
openSilly voiceovers for Gaming Conventions? Web Original
I'm looking for a series of youtube videos where a guy just sorta....dubs over footage of E3 and stuff like that with silly comments and voices. Loke a whole bunch of guns firing is dubbed with "Dakkadakkadakka", and another bit had "BLUE AND ORANGE andgreen" and so on. And something about Nintendo "going down with the ship" or something...
openTouhou music video Web Original
There was this Touhou fan video I watched a few years back but I cannot find it again for the life of me. It was an arrange of "Reach for the Moon ~ Immortal Smoke" and it was animated. At one point in the video, Mokou and Keine started spinning around the screen while voices sang "ladididadadadadada". Then after that it showed a house with the roof popping off...please tell me you've seen this video too and what it's called. I remember the title was in Japanese.
openYoutube Video Series, making a custom Sailboat Web Original
A 20 something guy is make a custom Sailboat. He's modifying an old blue and white sailboat in the woods. On of the main modifications is increasing the height by the removal and reattaching the cabin top.
In the First video he has a memorable comment that goes like this "So you want to build your own custom sail boat.... Then quit your job and go work for a shipyard/marina for 3 years, then buy a boat (to work on)"
I haven't seen it in about 3-5 years, The roof was cut off in the most recent episode I saw. The boat is dirty, fiberglass, on-trailer, blue hull and white deck and at his house in a lightly wooded area.
openTitle and singer of an Epic Meal Time Song Web Original
I trying to find out the title and singer of this song that used to be played in Epic Meal Time. Here's an example of the song from the Epic Meal Time game. https://youtu.be/qyx-isArXtA
openMagic trick site Web Original
Many years ago (sometime in the mid-late 2000s) there was a website made as sort of a magic trick. It supposedly answered questions that you asked it while typing in a particular phrase. The trick was that if you used a particular key combination, the next thing you typed would be the answer the site gave to the question (but would appear as something else on screen), so the site would work if you demonstrated it to others but wouldn't work if they tried it themselves.
openCan somebody do a trope of my show Web Original
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLegx_qOzjg44slgNPkdVkimWkren9-cMk this is my show will somebody do a trope of it
openBackwards black-and-white short film Web Original
There was some B&W short film (I feel like it was College Humor or Funny Or Die or one of those, but when they were just getting started, maybe like 2004ish?) that was shown in reverse involving an old man destroying his apartment (backwards) and the punchline that started it all was a note about someone leaving him and "taking the chicken". Please help! I've been searching for this thing for years.
Edited by WAYFanopenGag fandub of "Sonic Says" clip Web Original
It was a Gag Dub, not a YouTube Poop. It was based on the "say no to strangers" Sonic Says scene (the one where Scratch and Grounder in Groucho glasses try to abduct Tails), and the final scene haves Sonic wearing the Groucho glasses saying "I'm the Phantom of Opera!"
openWeird Remix of "Ain't Nobody Got Time for That" Web Original
This was a video on You Tube, and no, it's not the one everyone knows. This one starts off with Sweet Brown talking about her experience as usual, but with the beginning of Firestarter by The Prodigy is playing in the background. As soon as she says "Ain't nobody got time for that!", the song IMMEDIATELY switches to this soft techno sort of thing, and there are now visuals of a burning building, flying fire extinguishers, and exploding soda cans. Later, Sweet Brown returns and says "pop," but echoed. A little warning before looking for this, I have looked for the past 30 minutes and found nothing but copies of the original remix. Good luck.
P.S. It's not this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c-sdsrYaqK8
Edited by GitarooHeroopenGuy Destroys Random Stuff Web Original
I remember this person on You Tube that made a bajillion videos of him destroying stuff in what looked like his basement. Most of the time, the objects he destroyed were kids toys. To be clear, this is NOT Shawn K. In one video, he runs over an Elmo toy with an orange lawnmower. In another video, he destroys a dryer(washer?) by putting a whole bunch of nuts, bolts, and metal bits into it until it couldn't hold the weight. He makes personal videos, too. One was on 2012, the supposed "end of the world." Anyone remember who this was?
openRomeo and Juliet Web Original
I distinctly remember coming across a page for this modern version of Romeo and Juliet, as told through social media platforms such as twitter and the like. I think that the project was headed by the Royal Shakespeare company, and probably similar in style to The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Can anyone help me out here?
openWhere's the rest of Cranes? Web Original
I know exactly what I'm looking for, the rest of a brilliant Young Justice fanfic on Live Journal (It also has a page here) the links here though only show it up the 100th part and the link to fanfiction goes no where making me think it's sadly been deleted there. It's a really good story and the indications from the author where they still had miles of story to go. Does anyone know if there was ever more written or has it sadly been abandoned?
opena romantic? video from newgrounds Web Original

openChrono Trigger fanfiction Web Original
Here's a deep pull. A circa 1997-1998 or so Chrono Trigger fanfic. Details I remember: there's some kind of war involving Guardia in 1000 AD with a naval assault and guns. Magus somehow gets a version of the Epoch that is able to go to exact specific points in time as opposed to traveling to years (i.e. old version runs on San Dimas Time, new version doesn't). On the site I first found it on, there was some weirdness about its presentation in the first few chapters. One chapter was a mailto link with the entire text in the subject line.
openDiscworld Fanfiction Web Original
I'm looking for a particular Discworld fanfic where Vimes is asked to kneel in front of the throne in order to impress a visiting dignitary. He eventually responds by driving a sword into the floor while kneeling, which impresses the visitor, but everybody who knows him gets a very vivid picture of what Vimes really meant.
openYouTube Poop where Thomas the Tank Engine mistook a dalmatian for a cow Web Original
Does anyone else remember seeing a video like this where the following conversation happens? Thomas:Look! She's got a cow! Dalmatian:Moo! I'd really like to find this, so please help if possible.
So there's this Web Animation, which is based on a bunch of comics someone found on the net. I don't remember much about it, except that it was super weird and animesque. It was described as a Widget series here on TV Tropes. Does anyone know what this is?
Anyone? Anyone?
