I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Once upon a time, Count Chocula came with a spooky Halloween CD and I always assumed "Angela Anaconda" was a random character they made up for the purposes of this absurd pack-in, but now looking into it I see it is basically a zany sampler of a bunch of early-2000s nonsense. Huh. All this time.

A monster/horror film where these people are trapped in a building with no power and a deadly monster

The monster is pretty big, and has horizontal mouthparts like an insect. At one point a man is lowered into a room with the monster, and when they pull him back up, his lower torso is gone.

One of the scientists in the film analyses the monster's DNA and concludes it's 33% human or thereabouts.

Are you thinking of "The Relic", from 1997 with Penelope Ann Miller and Tom Sizemore?
There is a scene where they enter the museum and go to rappel down and the monster has a snack, a little before the 3/4's mark.
The creation mutation being part human is a key element of the film.

... a widower falling in love with a woman (or maybe just starting to date again). There was a conversation about him still loving his deceased wife, and how the woman he was dating (or might date) would feel about that. And someone responded with a statement talking about "... a man who stopped loving his wife just because she died," and that the woman "has enough room in her heart" for him and his wife...

The answer to this came to me suddenly this evening. I kept hearing the woman's voice as Southern, and then it hit me. It was an episode of "Designing Women" titled "Second Time Around," and it was Julia talking to the guy who was dating Charlene and had broken up with her abruptly because he felt he was betraying his late wife. It's a very touching conversation. I found the full quote; it's about halfway down the page.

Just thought of something far easier than the absolute insanely impossible requests I posted earlier in the thread: a Nintendo 64 commercial featuring a (bald? middle-aged?) dude on a couch in a dark room trash-talking his silent buddy sitting next to him as they play different games. The only line I remember, and indeed the sentence I will probably have come to mind on my deathbed, is the guy excitedly yelling "WCW VERSUS NWO VERSUS GARY, ON HIS KNEES, BEGGING AND PLEADING!" in, obviously, the segment of the commercial promoting WCW VS. NWO (either The World or Revenge, not sure).

I think that one commercial may have even been part of a series, considering the closest I came to this video in occasional searches was one of someone trash-talking "Gary" over Nintendo 64 games, but that was not the right commercial at all (either that or that was just a shorter version of the same commercial).

Here's a twofer.

A suspense/action/something movie where there's a bunch of people in an abandoned urban area. Maybe they were armed? Don't remember exactly, but something happens and one of them ends up on the ground getting swarmed and eaten alive by hordes of rats while everyone else screams in horror and tries to run away.

A movie set in a desert state. Some kind of gunfight is going on, and there's some large guy with a double barrel shotgun fighting off two sheriffs/police officers who were hold up in a building while the large guy might've been outside firing from behind some cars? One of the officers mutters to the other something about how the shotgun 'must be new'.

Both at least 15 years old, they're vague memories from childhood of catching something on the TV that someone else was watching.

I have two that have been bothering me lately.

This one should be easy(but has resisted my search terms). It was a music video I saw linked from SA, I'm thinking around 2008-2012 or so. I don't really remember the genre of music, but the video was memorable. It was animated, and consisted of different scenes swapping between each other, usually by zooming in or out on a TV screen or something similar. I remember a security guard watching a UFO on a TV, then that UFO destroyed his little guard hut.

This one is a super long shot. I was watching some random assortment of short films on a cable access channel. One of them was about a young man who went to some fancy society party. The next day he returns to the location of the party because he "misplaced himself" and needed to find himself. The key image I remember was him looking in mirrors to try find himself again. It had a very experimental/avant garde feel to it(if you couldn't tell from the description). I have no idea if it was some well known short or just a student project.

A video game that I swear was called find the Urkel, and it was just amazed where every turn it could show up randomly on any contiguous piece of a maze shape that was formed. Every turn you could select a piece to trap him and try to cage him between two squares. If you accidentally selected the square he was actually standing on, you would kill him, and that was how you failed the game. It would say, you killed the Urkel, and have little exes for his eyes. Otherwise he just looks like a little round dot. This is like a DOS game I think.
