Speaking of lp's of weird games, there was a playthrough of a really fuckin weird point and click adventure (I think), many years ago in GBS. As I recall the game takes place in a strange town that's obsessed with meat, or blood, and there's some sort of huge meat factory. Very old school graphics, and i remember it being deeply weird and unsettling. Anyone know what I'm on about?

My brother is the music guy in my family. Back in highschool he burned a ton of CDs with whatever random thing he was listening to. One of these random mixes had a song that I still get stuck in my head some times. It's mostly made from samples of what sounded like a reality show or some sort of game show starring two women named Joan and Jane (maybe like a house flipping show or something similar). It was mostly just laid back beats with a narrator saying phrases from the show. These aren't exact examples but he would say things like: "Joan and Jane will need to work quick if they're going to succeed.", "Jane is almost done, but Joan is just getting started." "Joan thinks she's won, but Jane still has a few tricks up her sleeve." Anyone have any idea what this could possibly be? My brother had no idea what I'm talking about and most of these CDs are long gone. This would have been something he probably found online in the early 2000s.

No wonder he never heard of it. That one song is so different from almost everything else he does that it's hard to place. Other exception being the one that's just a bunch of samples of George Bush saying "duty".

There was a show in like the late 80s or early 90s involving a boring white family that accidentally got sent forward in time to a very ominous, highly authoritarian "utopia". There are lots of crystal pyramids, and most people are androids now? Anyone know what that one was? I also am trying to remember a (I think) British movie or TV series about body-double androids whose eyes would glow orange when they went into Attack Mode. Any help appreciated. (It might not have been British but the protagonist had a British accent iirc.)

A live action British children's show from the early 90s about moving stones and time travel (?) that had something to do with King Arthur. I only suspect it has something to do with King Arthur because besides the moving stones (like standing stones) is because for some reason a kid from the show saying "King Arthur!" with a weird inflection got burned into my brain.

I've been trying to find for years an old video series that pre-dates YouTube, it would have been around 2004 I think. It was two women who claimed to be part of a subculture who hid in other people's houses, like living under their dining room table or in the attic. I think they called themselves froggers, and wore green, cause they would 'hop' from house to house.

i saw an old cartoon on tv when i was a small child that was probably made during wwii. the running gag was that the protagonist (i remember him as popeye but this may be wrong as i've had 0 luck googling related terms) kept on making fun of this guest character for looking like some celebrity of the time and he'd burst into tears. i assume the guy in the cartoon was a caricature of whoever it was. my mom explained to me at the time that he was a famous person many years ago. who was it and what was the cartoon? i've never been able to google this but it seems weird that my childhood subconscious would invent a wartime propaganda cartoon featuring a 1940's celebrity i didn't know.

Try searching “phrogging” and “phrogger,” which is how they spelled it.

A stand up comedian was singing a tune set to “What A Wonderful World” about nuclear war and the ensuing fallout that went something like: “I see trees of purple, skies of red, see the little boy over there with a foot growing out of his head, and I think to myself…” This was most likely a Comedy Central special some time in the early 2000s. That song has stuck with me through the years for some reason, and I’d like to know the comedian that sang it.
