There was a video or flash cartoon in the 00's that was an 'introduction to counter strike' or something, but using the audio of that old E3 soundclip of Kaz Hirai explaining the 'giant enemy crab, attack its weak point for massive damage'. The audio was crudely cut so 'enemy crab' became 'corner campers' or 'awping <gamer word>s' Teenage me thought it was not only hilarious but also a huge part of internet meme culture to the point I tried to quote it in college gaming club to other nerds years later but nobody knew what the gently caress I was on about. Tried to find it to vindicate myself, but I've never been able to find it again.

Kaz hirai didn’t say the crab line in the original presentation. If that helps your search. It was one of the developers of the game with said crab in it doing the stage demo.

An early 2000s vid on how to play counterstrike. Live action, a bunch of idiots teaching bunnyhopping, "if anyone is doing better than you they must be cheating" etc

I'll go see if I can find his name because I think the title of the video was something like 'X introduces Counter Strike', not sure if it was Sony, E3 or the speakers name

This loving mustard. The bottle looks different now, I remember it like that, but it was the loving poo poo, like eating a loving coney dog without the chili. My dad got it like once at Publix and we haven't loving found it since.

I am concerned that the chili flavor is “surprising.” The ability to surprise is not generally a quality I appreciate in a condiment.

This is an odd one: Around 2017 or so, a website started making the rounds of various internet culture pages. It was some thing about some 89 year old dude "seeking a perfect republican wife." If you went to the website, you'd be given a questionnaire to fill out with some standard questions asking where you stand on typical "conservative values" type stuff. Answer wrong and you'd get a generic "I'm sorry I don't think we're right for each other" type thing. Answer correctly however, and you'd get taken to another part of the page full of bizarre rants about the power of tantric sex and a weird preoccupation with the "natural beauty" of puerto rican women or something  The whole aesthetic was extremely web 1.0/geocities, but it couldn't have been later than Trump's first term, as I remember making a "I bet this guy voted for Trump" joke when I shared it with some friends. It's back in my mind because a buddy of mine shared something kind of similar with me, and my brain dug it up like some long forgotten fever dream. I think I might have stumbled upon it here in a GBS thread, but I don't have any idea how to work the search, and I'm not positive that it wasn't just a weird fever dream I had after all.

I have four, vague memories I'd like to try and renew: 1) some sort of children's book, where it rains chocolate raindrops. It may have been entirely comic, or a mixture of illustrations and story, but I recall the raindrops looked very much like Cadbury's Buttons and the whole thing sounded delicious. 2) similar to 1, but even more vague, something about a blue banana 3) I think it was a UK children's show (I have a vague feeling it was a Saturday morning and ITV? But that's probably wrong), all I really remember was green slime coming out from under a bed over a white carpet, like a monster was about to be revealed. It terrified me at the time which is why this memory stuck, but I don't remember much else. 4) animated movie, a young boy (or girl?) is on an alien planet, and eats some alien fruit from strange trees/plants. I'm not sure anyone will get 2 or 3, but 1 and 4 seem like someone must have seen them before!

Dell_Zincht posted:1&2 were both Hamlyn Robin books, I remember reading them at school. The first is simply called "The Chocolate Rain" and the second "The Blue Banana" Thank you! Seeing the cover for the chocolate rain one sent a shiver down my spine, it's been bugging me for years. The image of the chocolate building up on the rooftops was stuck in my head, it's a weird relief to finally find the source. Googling any combination of "chocolate rain" or "blue banana" gave me no hints that it was "Hamlyn Robin", there's so many other chocolate rains and blue bananas in the world. In my case instead of school I suspect they came from my grandparents (who were involved in the church and helped out in the church bookshop, so we'd get slightly damaged books that way. Somehow this is also how my signed, personally addressed Tony Hart drawing of a cat came to be).

I am looking for a web comic which was a retelling of a kid sent to some sort of anti-gay or re-education school. I remember the author was kidnapped in the middle of the night by this camp and they weren't allowed to talk. The school ended up closing down I think sometime in the early 2000s or 90s. Also, goon city pixel project exist anymore? Can only find a few images of it.

Movie. I think either from the 90s or early 00s. The only scene I remember in it was maybe like set around a high school, and there were some goth-y punk-y girls who were like their own clique, and they kidnapped another girl and tied her up and left her gagged inside the trunk of one of their cars and come back only to find that she died. I vaguely feel like it had something to do with they stuck some kind of round ball in her mouth? Came from some kind of candy turnstile machine, so maybe a jawbreaker, but iirc they either said or it was implied that that fell back into her throat and because she was tied up she wound up choking on it.

Oh. I somehow never actually included 'jawbreaker' in my searches, I guess. My memory of what it looked like is way more skewed though but that's totally it. Thanks.

A British children's miniseries or possibly TV movie split into 2 parts that I saw in the 90s. A girl and her mother move to a village and the girl befriends an old woman. The village has a dark secret. The villagers have magic powers. Years ago they summoned a monster who possessed the old woman's mother. I remember an image of her rising in flame from a lake, wearing a mask. The old woman describes it as "a monster. We called it Sanctuary". There aren't many children in the village. At one point the girl and old woman visit a burned site that I think was the school or something and old woman says "there are many scars in [village], this is the worst one". There's a boy who tries to use the magic and make fire appear on the lake. He starts to bleed from his nose. The girl tries to explain things to her mum, who not only disbelieves her but says she's lying for attention because "you're fat and you're lonely and each makes the other worse". drat. The villain is a young woman who also has the magic. She ends up controlling all the old magical villagers. Old woman tries to resist but she hurts her. I forget how they break out of that, but they become a mob and chase the young woman to a cliff. Girl pleads not to kill the bad lady, old woman insists it must be done but relents. Bad lady jumps off cliff anyway. Any of these details could be wrong as I was quite young when I saw it.

A crude goon made animation about an American pilot shot down on an island with a Japanese pilot that plays out to Johnny Cash's cover of redemption song. Pretty sure the author also made this:

I know it's not any of these programs, but this sounds like a folk horror like The Owl Service or Penda's Fen. The BBC loved this style of children's horror story in the 70s. Might be a good place to start looking?

Trying to find an image I personally have never seen but that my best friend has been telling me about for at least ten years. Here’s his description of it:quote:It was a topdown selfie of a white man's johnson with a black outline only image of Piccolo's face either tattooed or drawn on the shaft. The man was holding the dick by the head to straighten it out to show the art off. Please help me find Piccolo Dick.

An Asian language pop song from the early 2000s. 2003-2005ish. It had a bit in it that I think was the chorus and went something along the lines of "meow-meow-meow mickey-meow-meow-meow meow-meow meow-meow". I say something along the lines of but it's been stuck in my head for 20 years now and I'm pretty sure that's exactly how it sounded.

Were you ever into Nintendo DS / Ouendan? That sounds a bit like Morning Musume – "Koi no Dance Site" (恋のダンスサイト, Koi no Dansu Saito) which would be a plausible earworm for someone not otherwise into J-pop.

I just remembered a skit from a sketch comedy show about having sex through a hole in a sheet. Searching for it just brings up lots of hits about this being a myth about orthodox Jews. I watched it with my younger brother at my parent's house but I don't know if it was while I was still living at home or if I was just hanging out with him so it could be anywhere from '95-'01.
