I've been trying to figure out what this music video i saw in like 96 or 97 or 98 was It was a rap video I think? and it was filmed in a sci-fi-ish set, kinda like a spaceship or lab or something, and there were these x-ray kinda images on the wall behind the rapper/singer of some alien birds that looked like emus or... mushroom birds? hard to describe

Julius CSAR posted:A children's book from the 80s about a high school football team in Texas (I think) who's coach gets injured and the math teacher dresses up as a dude with a big fake Tom Selleck mustache. I specifically remember one of the players saying "Man, the new coach is really giving us the business" then she takes them all out for ice cream at the end of the book. The specifics are a bit different, but "Miss Nelson has a Field Day" by Harry Allard seems worth a Google. The teacher's disguise is still female but there's another teacher with a Selleck 'tache, and "giving the business" crops up a couple of times.

there was a supercut of a food/travel host saying "Eeeh" before everything he said that i haven't been able to find for years. I think the episode took place in Germany

this show i watched in preschool featured an alien or something. his thing was he would look at the camera and teleport whenever he got into a bad situation or something and i'm pretty sure it was just stock footage behind him changing.

I’m looking for an old nes game I used to play when I was little. I don’t remember the name but it was a set in space and the first level was like a horizontal shooter. Once you finished the first level your character got out of his ship and walked into the moon or planet where the second level was a platformer. You jumped with a jet pack I believe. That’s all I got.

I'm picturing this clip from a movie or tv show where there is like a conversation scene in a kitchen and the man grabs a slice of bread and smears like a hilariously poorly spread glob of margarine on it and then takes a huge bite. It was memeish at one point I think and I want to say it's from like the 80s or early 90s or something. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

So I just had a mini white whale today that I solved in about half an hour, but thought I'd share anyway. I was watching a friend stream and had a weird theremin cover of this tune playing in the background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp9vAw4VwJA And it was immediately clawing at me that this song is so familiar. I have the title and the artist, yet where have I heard it? Something about that chord progression at the 28 second mark was resonating something I couldn't quite figure out. Was it in a movie, a cartoon, some ad somewhere, some video online? How do I even search something like this when I already have the song identified? All I know is that whatever I heard, it wasn't this exact song (nor the theremin cover), but the melody and chord progression was hauntingly familiar. I was listening to this with my husband who also had the same reaction. He couldn't figure it out, either. And just like that, a moment of relief came when it hit me. It just reminded me of the Wii U Mii Maker music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o6pqg5bmas It wasn't even the same song! But now I'll never unhear how crazy similar they sound. I'm just glad something like this wouldn't gnaw at me for weeks.

Crossposting from the Vague memories: Finding games you barely remember thread in Retro Games: A sidescrolling platformer that came out in either very late 80s or early 90s, probably for the Amstrad but maybe C64. The game art was pretty basic, not as simple as the early pixel art but mostly monotone themes. I can't remember the aim or the gameplay but I know you had to run around collecting various items for various tasks, the only item I remember is asbestos gloves that were heat proof. The cover art had some scifi character (possibly a robot or cyborg, possibly on the back on the box) saying "Yowza! Mega briltoid!". I'm pretty sure that the game was from the UK. The main detail that I remember is that the soundtrack to the game was a midi version of 'Respectable' by Mel & Kim.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Crossposting from the Vague memories: Finding games you barely remember thread in Retro Games: Magnetic Scrolls - Fish! ? https://youtu.be/mP7v8cQnRbo If you browse through it may just look text-based but it has a graphical depiction above the text area that is largely monotone though not early pixely. It does have asbestos gloves, but the box art features a badass 80s fish dude, not a robot/cyborg per se, and does not mention "mega briltoid" (which seems like a red herring already, as googling that phrase didn't return much useful, as I'm sure you've discovered) Best I can do on my phone; will search more later!

There was a science show on PBS in the early 80s that I would watch with my very sweet departed grandfather, and it was hosted by an elderly British man with floofy red/grey hair and I believe he was in a wheelchair. He would explain things from his oak-panelled study in his home and I believe his wife(?) was alongside him not in a nursing context, but because she was also a scientist. It wasn't a kid's show but an adult boring PBS show about a dude explaining cool things. He did a segment on metabolism or something where he kept referring to food intake calories as 'foodstuffs' and I thought it was the goofiest thing ever. Any help would be appreciated!

baby picture posted:I remember this. It was a very early FOX Network show, maybe even one of their first non sports broadcasts. I think the main character was a high school aged James Bond? But a comedy? I recently started reading huge chunks of this thread and apologize for the late entry that's almost certainly been answered. You're thinking of 'Parker Lewis Can't Lose', Fox's answer to being unable to license the Ferris Bueller character. He had a nerd friend and a huge jock friend named Moose or Ox or something.

1) Saw a foreign movie in a "film appreciation 101" class. A miner fakes an accident where he claims to have lost his ability to speak in an explosion, but hasn't. Through out the investigation and trial he remains silent. At the end of the film he cut's out his own tongue to avoid incriminating himself in the future. 2) Few details on this one, but the first movie I ever saw breasts in might have been around the early 80s. A woman gets in one of those booths where a fan blows around money and you try and grab it. Her shirt blows off or something and is topless. That's all I can remember. 3) This might be slightly off topic, but yesterday I was trying to determine with a friend if this expired eBay auction is a real Chagall print or not. There is a similar Chagall painting called "Marching", but I can't determine if "The Marching Man" is actually Chagall. I've searched quite a bit today and this book uses the painting as cover art, but all references to it are in French. Seems like it might not be Chagall, but I'd like to know. If this is outside the scope of this thread please ignore.

I wonder if you are at least partly thinking of Connections with James Burke? It's like 50-50 for what you're describing. DoomLazer posted:1) Saw a foreign movie in a "film appreciation 101" class.

I've googled several times trying to find it. https://www.google.com/search?q=foreign+film+miner+mute, fifth entry down for me is a link to "Argentine Cinema: From Noir to Neo-Noir" on Google Books with the excerpt "It tells the story of two men who attempt to scam an international mining company by faking a mining accident that would leave one of the conspirators mute and ..." so I opened that and looked what movie it was describing. (After trying several other searches and ruling out a bunch of other movies, for some reason I assumed it was a chinese film so that was a dead end)
