The toy itself was small, but portrayed some kind of giant tank thats armor split open to reveal something kinda like an aircraft carrier flight-deck. this "deck" then could spring up on little lever things. I think it was colored green camo. Is it this thing from the Megaforce toyline? (aside: the entire toyarchive site is extremely web 1.0, like, it still has webring links! In 2020! I'm surprised as poo poo it's still up.)

Years ago I saw a clip of a South American (I think maybe Colombian?) late night variety show that just straight up stole Snake Eater from Metal Gear Solid 3 and used it as their theme song. This was in the mid/late 2000s and I think it may have seen the clip on Attack of the Show, or maybe it was posted on some gaming blog.

This is one that's had me forever. In the '90s, I was like eight years old watching TV at my grandma's house when this show came on. It started with a cold opening where these guys were running another guy on a gurney through some factory-looking place. He was tied down and had brown packing tape over his mouth. They stopped him in front of a guy with a welding torch and mask on, who gave him a requisite "you owe the boss a lot of money" speech, then presumably kills the guy with the torch. I saw this like twenty-some years ago, but it's really fresh in my head, and I'll occasionally have a nightmare about it even now. I kind of just want to see it again for some reason. The show was on network TV (no cable) late at night on the east coast in like 1997 or something, if that helps.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpej3a7AhGI something similar to this but it involved like a house floating in space or some poo poo. from an animation film festival that terrified me in the 1980's as a little tike in ann arbor. i can't put my finger on what the short film was about but it was freaky.

Real long shot here: When I was a kid my babysitter had this CD-ROM that was basically this weird Butterfinger BB's sponsored thing. I recall that it was basically set in this city at night and you could click around to different areas for different stuff. The thing I remember most was the movie theater showed clips of MTV Liquid Television stuff like The Head and Beavis and Butthead.

I found my "rhyme" and it's too late to pretend I never asked, so here it is. I think the real answer is a combination of the clip below and some other ancient jingle or "fuzzy wuzzy was a bear" kind of thing, but now I've heard the proper song there's no hope of finding whatever else I was thinking of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiB4dMwDFtg&t=48s (I didn't even find it in a cool way, I just eventually remembered more after having "dubba-dubba-dub etc" stuck in my head for ages)

I'm looking for the story about a fat American girl who goes to Japan and is generally awful over there, but in the end she meets a grandma and everything turns out well. It was written by the Japanese chick hosting her.

I watched a sci fi cartoon show as a kid, but I can't think of the name. I remember that the art was similar to batman beyond and it was about an alien invasion of earth. A key plot point was a power glove. I think it aired on fox. Very vague, but maybe it rings a bell for someone.

There's an episode of Judge Judy where a woman claims her husband(?) physically abused her, and the man cut in and said, "I'm a strong man. If I hit her, she'd be dead." Judy ended the case right then and there and explained, in so many words, how she'd been a domestic abuse lawyer for years, and that's the single most red flag if there ever was one. The episode stuck in my mind, because everything this douchebag said was something my abusive father had said when he claimed he never hit my mom. It's the single eye-opening moment for me when I realized he was the bad guy, not her (after she took off and left to save herself). I've binged every case I could find of Judge Judy, and I've never been able to find this one specific case.

Just a one time use fleshlight thing. I've seen sex dolls made with fake bones and buttholes held in place with balloons. My expectations were too high.

Something I've been missing so much, that I've wanted to see it again for all these years, but I can't for the life of me find out anything about it or if it's even up anymore. Around when the Watchmen movie came out, there was a youtube diatribe by this extremely angry overweight geek about what a travesty the very idea was. Select quotes I remember, most being yelled while finger-waving at his camera... "That's right, Watchmen is like THE BIBLE. And ALAN MOORE, is JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF!" "YOU brought this nightmare upon us, you IGNORANT MASSES, you SHEEPLE! You've brought this darkness upon YOURSELVES!" Etc, etc. I wish I could be more descriptive and I realize it's very likely been deleted at some point over the years, but it really delighted me and I wish I could see it again.
