I have two, both related. They were bumpers that aired in between programs during daytime children's shows on I thiiiink PBS in the early to mid 90s.

One was animated, with these weird alien/monster creatures on a black background. A voice would state the number of them and identify the type of creature, with each group getting bigger by one so as to teach you how to count (???).

The other was live-action with an armless dude painted a bright color demonstrating through song and example that excluding different people is wrong. At one point a cop yells at him "Put your hands up!" to which he responds "But I don't have any" in an odd, dreamy tone.

In the spirit of Take A Penny Leave A Penny, this is an informational video about AIDS that I spent my entire internet existence searching for only to come across recently.

The creepy virus infiltrator repeatedly murmuring "He's okay, let him goooo" found a cavity in my memory bank and just nestled its rear end in there for twenty-odd years.

I'm looking for an older (the early 2010s, I think) web series that was thematic montages of old movie/tv footage set to music. Usually old sci-fi or horror material, but I remember that there was one episode that was all Christmas movie footage. Usually, the montages were done to create humorous juxtapositions or to show patterns across different pieces of media.

Episodes ran for around 20-30 minutes and I remember the name of the series being something really silly with words like "cosmic" or "incredible" (may not use those actual words, though).

I had originally downloaded the show from Cinemageddon, a torrent tracker for B-movies, and had thought that it was some kind of original creation from one of the users, but later found the same series on a streaming site (I think it was Dailymotion or maybe Vimeo?). I've since lost the hard drive I had saved the videos on.

I really liked the series and would like to watch it again, but my old man memory is failing me. If anyone has any idea what I'm talking about, please let me know.

This sound very close to Concrete TV

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.

This might be a little on the nose, but Rats?

does anyone remember that early SA video of 2 kids recording in a bedroom. one is fat and looks like chris farley and says some poo poo like, "I'M STEVE JOHNSON" and the other kid just keeps saying, "AGAIN"

It's not funny but I think about it a lot because I can't remember what name he actually says

found it -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnusoYAgI80

I quote this a lot in my head and sometimes outside my head, including always saying that specific cadence of "What a smell"

Trying to remember the name of this ghoulishly awful Christian/Afghanistan War propaganda movie. There was a scene where people were in an auditorium watching a playback of a solider overseas wishing them a Merry Christmas or something and then he just gets blown the gently caress up mid-sentence. It's escaping me and those descriptors aren't turning anything up when searching for it.

That would be the climax to the christsploitation film Last Ounce of Courage

There�s huge media infrastructure churning this poo poo out, and it�s totally hidden unless you�re fundamentalist and subscribe to PureFlix or whatever.

But holy hell that�s wild. The bad boy reading scripture, the injured soldier standing up and saluting at the end and the flag taking Baby Jesus� place. Christploitation indeed.

There's a fair bit of overlap between the machine the makes these and the machine the makes Lifetime movies, so you end up with a bunch of Sears catalog models whose imdb pages alternate between titles like "A Very Jesus Kinda Christmas" and "I Killed my Boss with Sex: The Chrissy Sawdust Story"

Sorry if I caused any confused but the context I was using the term in was "a conventionally attractive person willing to work for scale hired through a talent agency that operates out of a strip mall"

Here's an incredibly long shot - a clean version of this song:

https://i.imgur.com/00YFt1K.mp4

The man lip syncing is (probably) the original performer: Mike Loveless, a local public access and radio personality from Fort Wayne, IN. I have some of his other songs in varying degrees of quality, but I can't find this one by him or anyone else.

edit: the man above is not probably Mike Loveless (he is absolutely Mike Loveless), rather, Mike Loveless is also probably the original performer - a day later it occurred to me how ambiguously that was written

Twenty-ish years ago, there was an goon-made album that got some circulation on GBSfm. I remember two song specifically - one was called Internet Lover, and the first verse goes (approximately):

Internet lover, how could you be so fine
Dream about you nearly all of the time
You type so nastily but I've never seen your face
You could be just about any member of the human race
Are you a fat old man sweating in the dark?
Are you a teenage girl who should be playing in a park?

Blue moon; you made my modem your own
No more typing alone
Can we have sex on the phone?

The second song I remember was called something to the effect of A Hypothetical Cowboy and it detailed a man getting hammered at a saloon and then hitting on a cow in a field, I remember far fewer lyrics:

something something something picked a few wild flowers
Though she may have been a holstein, we talked for several hours
What's this bovine attraction that I'm feeling as I ride?
Well hell, I've never been one to swim against the tide

I'd love to hear that album again for olde time's sake :goleft:
