David Firth was big on new grounds but that was still pretty obscure. Thankfully his popularity has magnified from going to YouTube but I’ll always know him for those newgrounds Burnt Face Man cartoons.

Anyone else remember when The Critic tried to make Internet stuff? I think it was before Flash (Shockwave) even. I remember waiting half an hour to see three minutes of show more than the show itself.

Depends on your definition of obscure, but you should definitely go watch "Don't hug me, I'm scared" on YouTube

Primus has had Salad Fingers in the backdrop one of their songs on their live concerts. Pretty cool considering how old it is. I'd almost forgotten about him until then.

Yeah, actually, gamers in the house forever,
i was really into Olde English skits that got posted online (originally in QuickTime videos) but none of my friends thought any were funny except the Badminton school shooting sketch. for being obscure though it has the Bojack Horseman guy (and also Adam from Adam Ruins Everything)

The really early 1999-2000 Classic Game Room episodes back when they and Angry Nintendo Nerd were some of the only gaming related videos on Youtube.

I still watch the Ecco Dreamcast review sometimes, that intro always makes me laugh even a decade later

CGR's still around on Amazon Prime, oddly enough (I think it was something about Youtube paying him basically jack poo poo and Patreon not really making up the difference).

His stuff's less funny now, but it makes good stuff to fall asleep to. :shobon:

They had it when I saw them last year and although I was high off my rear end I distinctly remember asking my husband: “Holy poo poo is that Salad Fingers?” It was like three seconds of video but bizarre to see a reference to something that niche and old in person.

I would love to know which song this was played during. I love Primus. Primus sucks. :allears:

EDIT: Sort of related to your post (but not the thread :haw:), I saw them in 2011 at the State Theatre in Portland, Maine, and I remember when all of the instruments kicked in during 'Southbound Pachyderm', and the big silhouette of the elephant started walking through the display behind them, it was one of the most chilling experiences I've ever had with music, and I don't actually look to Primus for that kind of feeling; they've always just been the 'goofy and sort of loud' band. Goddamn, that show was awesome.

For y'all have knocked her up

I was not offended
For I knew I had to rise above it all
Or drown in my own shit
There was a guy who lived in Japan who got drunk and uploaded videos of him playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl (it came out like a full month before the US) that he called "The Smashed Update."

Same guy had another series where his friends would visit him again in Japan and they would all get drunk and cook badly. I forget the name of that one.

I don't think I've ever actually sat down and watched this all the way through, because I find it disturbing in a way that intentionally disturbing stuff like Salad Fingers never really managed

it comes across like it's supposed to be this wacky, zany, fast-cut cartoon about a dog who gets a job managing a taco bell, but it goes to his head because he's cuh-razy!, like the kind of stuff you'd see on What A Cartoon or Oh Yeah! Cartoons, but the tone and pathos are just completely off and misplaced

the pace is just a little too plodding, sequences go on way longer than they should, the violence is just not quite cartoony enough, the music is just slightly off-key and off-time, the voice acting leans in just a bit too hard
it's less like he's cuh-razy! :imunfunny: and more like he's profoundly mentally ill and not getting the help that he badly needs. :whitewater:

it's great and I love it

Dealership: The Series came out in 2010 and I may be wrong but I think one or more of these guys may be goons. At the very least, they look like goons. Never took off but it had some funny moments. "The Lemon" is one of their better episodes IMO.

the fourth episode of this references Aronovsky's Pi and then, just completely the hell out of nowhere, the 1956 French short film The Red Balloon

I watched Pure Pwnage when that was a thing. I remember hearing about boom headshot from a friend and somehow got sucked into watching the whole series. I don't know why, all I remember of it now is that it didn't seem to have any real direction then it kinda got cancelled when some dude died but then it got picked up for Canadian TV?

I seriously don't remember much of it. I had to find out the title by typing in "boom headshot show".
i still listen to the music from this show. have some culture.

And the secret of NIMH, though admittedly that one is a lot more on-point for the subject. The Zork reference was nice, and I freely admit I laughed out loud at the unexpectedness of using the synth trumpet sting from Owner of a Lonely Heart to indicate the rats had found the cocaine.

But wow... just about everything else about this show. I think I would have found it disappointingly offensive even in 2004, though I would have probably laughed harder at the other parts.

It basically was if you watched it in like 94-95. I was a bored kid so I'd look in the TV guide and try to watch all the cartoons I'd never see but to do that I'd have to stay up real late and see the stuff that was on cartoon network late. I only knew like screwball humor type of cartoons then so when I caught SGCTC it was like what? What is this? There's real people on this too. And I didn't just have the internet to go search for it and have a wiki or forum that could just reveal every little detail about the show and its production and ruin the magic in a sense. Nobody at school knew what I was talking about. I told my dad about it and got him to tape it when it came on so I could watch it whenever without staying up. Then I told him they said the n-word in one of the episodes and he didn't like that but I eventually convinced him I had made that up.

Watching those old Space Ghosts, those guys were internet humor before the internet took off

or maybe they were a big influence??

I wish emily youcis was still making things for the internet. She had quite the imagination, and was kind of a babe tbh.

I liked this cartoon she did with the alfred character, but I don't recommend anybody watch it unless they want to see a cartoon dog contract crotch rot from an electric corpse girl.
