Youtube series about bunch of people trapped in rooms Web Original
I remember this series through a You Tube video on it, but I've forgotten the title of both the video and the series. So basically, it was a bunch of people, trapped in different rooms with different activities in there as a part of a reality show, or social experiment or something. One of the characters had access to a phone that could communicate with different rooms, but only one at a time and with the light on the phone line being lit up. The guy keeps communicating with the different rooms, until he reaches one where the item in that room...was a noose. I don't remember either the original series or the video I learned about it from, but if you have the identity of either, it is much appreciated.
Schaffrillas video Web Original
I remember what I think one of Schaffrillas Productions' ranking videos where he says he kind of likes the idea of a spoiled brat character "but on the other hand, he's a spoiled brat".
Fictional Kids Meal Broadcast Incident Web Original
I remember watching a video online a few years back that I cant seem to find. It's about a broadcast incident that caused a picture of a kids meal from a fast food place to be shown for about a month (maybe more, but I remember it being a long time in universe). Near the end of the video, this creature that's all red, stands on it's hind legs, has a head like a dog, legs like a velociraptor, and a long tail walks into frame and takes a bite out of a burger that was on display, only for another one of it to emerge from it before the video cuts away. I think it was covered by somebody who styles their videos like blameitonjorge or Nick Crowley. Any help?
Article about chinese/korean pay to win game Web Original
A few years ago I read an article telling the story of a woman who signed up for a heavily monetized game, the thing is I cannot remember the name of the game but I do remember the rest of its title: Gambling your life away in (game).
In the article, the woman tells the story about how she started as a low level character and once she got lucky by landing the last hit on a high level military dude making her the queen of her realm. After this she got tired of how the game encouraged PVP at every opportunity to see who would spend more money and finally she quit the game.
Edited by NaspahNo Title Web Original
I am looking for a very specific old youtube video with Tensou Sentai Goseiger (so at least 13 years old at most) that show a montage of the show's mech up to Hyper Gosei Great with only music in the video. I know it probably is deleted long ago since it is that long ago, but I wanted to see if it's still up or not.

It was like showing some animatronics from an aquarium place. The only animatronic I remember was an octopus holding various cooking knives In the showcase, it was the fnaf 2 office but repainted

Two early 2010s Minecraft series Web Original
This is a bit different from most of these, but i recall two of the first Minecraft series i watched somewhat, and i may me mixing up some details between the two, so i'm combining these into one comment.
I watched was a You Tube series by a family, the son had the channel but his sister and dad were playing with him. I remember them joking about "hat trees" and talking about their mom making food or something, and i remember them building a house. I think this was pre-hunger bars, so likely early 2010s. I watched this in 2016 or so, and when i opened the channel, the featured video was a Minecraft video related to an anime series, maybe a map taking place in a school? The second series i remember was by a guy playing hour+ long episodes on a singleplayer series. I remember the videos having a facecam in the corner. He spawned on an island and had a "trusty diamond hoe", but it later broke. He had a larger house than he thought he needed ((as at that time, most houses were just item storage, furnaces, and a crafting table)), i think he had a mine in his house, and later in the series he boated out to another island to bring a sheep(?) over to his island. I think his channel name was something related to a crocodile/alligator.
That's all i've got at the moment, i'll update this if anything else comes to mind.
Edited by Sharkthe-catslasher movie villain's murder spree is derailed by accusation of racism. Web Original
The more I try to remember this, the more I think I either dreamed it or conflated a couple of skits I saw online. If it is real, I am leaning more towards a self-contained web video skit because I can't imagine it happening in an actual horror movie, maybe not even a Scary Movie type spoof. Anyway, it starts out like a normal slasher movie scene with the killer coming after someone, but the victim points out some way in which the killer's motives/actions seem racist. This keeps happening as he tries to kill other characters, maybe to the point where nobody in the scene dies because the killer is too busy trying to explain he's not racist/sexist/etc. This sounds like a Political Correctness Gone Mad thing, but I remember the humor being more directed at the idea that even a slasher movie villain wouldn't want to seem racist.
Online video about how using the toilet can kill? Web Original
A video on (as far as I can remember) the children's section of some publishing company like Simon and Schuster. I never actually watched the video in question (I was too scared to as a kid), but I remember that the thumbnail featured a puppet of some sort (I believe it was a chicken, but I'm not entirely sure) and that the video was titled something along the lines of "using the toilet can kill" or "your bathroom can kill you". I was recently reminded of the video's existence and wanted to see if I could find it and finally watch it.
A piranha plant as a main character Web Original
It is an animation in youtube and with a TV Trope space.
If i remember correctly a Mario Bros animation with a piranha plant who was raised in the mushroom kingdom who later grow up with a design very similar to Petey Piranha but with clothes.
Sprite Animation Series on Machinima about Disney Web Original
I remember in the last years (maybe even months?) of the YT channel Machinima, there was a animated sprite series that had a linear story, but was also part commentary on Disney and their subsidiaries as a whole. I remember it for a number of scenes and story elements which I will list here:
1. Luke Skywalker and Mickey Mouse being the main protagonists, with the main antagonist for the 1st (and only) season being Pinhead from Hellraiser.
2. Several Disney-owned characters get corrupted by Pinhead into their masochistic cult, like Buzz Lightyear, Ursula, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
3. At one point, the Avengers show up, only to be unceremoniously disintegrated by a monster's blast in the next episode.
4. At one point the Enterprise shows up and someone asks "Is Star Trek owned by Disney?" and Luke answers, "No, but it seems like a matter of time".
5. The last episode they meet a hologram of Walt Disney (whom Mickey Mouse refers to as "Dad" and hugs). Also, during Pinhead's defeat, he gives a soapbox-type speech on the downfall of the Hellraiser franchise.
As you can see, it's a strange series of sorts. Can't remember what it was called for the life of me.
Anime intro recreated with windows xp sounds Web Original
I remember seeing a video of an anime opening recreated with Windows XP sound effects, but I forgot both the name of the anime and the video.
Online Cartoon Short - two animals (mice?) being rude Web Original
I remember a series of funny online cartoon shorts from circa 2009-2011 that focused on two animals (two mice: one small and one bigger) who were 'rude' (in the sense of NSFW language and degrading to each other). It wasn't Pinky and the Brain or anything else mainstream. It could have been a standalone show based just on these two, or part of a wider show that also had different characters. Production quality was relatively high and I seem to remember Australian accents for some reason.
I remember two episodes specifically where things take a turn for the worse: one where they are in a living room and it gets trashed, and the other where they are in a car (maybe a driving lesson or something like that?) and that also doesn't go so well for them.
I have searched for years (albeit sporadically) but return no results. Would love to solve this mystery!
Flash Talking Fish Web Original
When I was in high school, I took classes in Flash animation (back when Flash was strictly for Web Animation only), and among the material we studied was a little series of animation featuring talking fish - they were stylized to look like somewhat realistic fish, but with floppy mouths, a lot like the kind of stuff you'd find on old sites like Jib Jab. I remember one such episode was a musical one where the fish are on a plane, and one of the passengers falls in love with the stewardess who handed out bags of peanuts, the chorus from that song has never left my head: "Peanut lady, how do you do? Peanut lady, I think I'm in love with you." I have searched the internet high and low for these Flash fish, and can't find anything. Does anyone remember these?
This weird thing I made Web Original
The email is @Pik The Red Pik, oh, and he made silly memes on his community tab.
Game Grumps video/episode Web Original
Does anyone know which video/episode Danny talked in a nasally, geeky voice and then claimed that's how he talked when he wasn't working?
Vegetable hospital (solved) Web Original
An animated horror short, possibly a music video, on You Tube. About a hospital in which the patients are turned into literal vegetables. I think the main story surrounded a child who discovered this process happening to his grandmother.

Analog horror about nuclear war and fallout Web Original
The video was similar to a regular PSA about nuclear bombs and such, but it was somewhat stylized. It had a pinkish, 1950s-1970s-esque filter over the video. The sections of information had numbers in one of the corners, and some of the segments were missing. Near the end of the video, it shows a fallout shelter with a crack in the corner and radioactive particles that look like stock image germs seeping in from the crack, and eventually making their way into the shelter. At the end, it says something like "There are no winners in a nuclear war" or something like that.
I tried looking up 'nuclear war analog horror' on Youtube, but I couldn't find the specific video. Perhaps it got deleted
