Fake Pieces of Lost Media That I Spent Time Searching For

While we don't come across this kind of thing too much anymore, there used to be a lot of rumored or hoaxed lost media that people believe existed and I happened to go on several searches for them which have become classics.

[@hoodedman6579]

For those unaware, the Super Nintendo is "region-locked" in the sense that there are two pieces of plastic blocking you from putting in Japanese cartridges which are a slightly different shape. If you remove those pieces of plastic, which isn't that hard to do, you can play Japanese carts with minimal issues to my understanding.

I never believed the lost scene from "I Was A Teenage Gary" was real. I was obsessed with Spongebob from its inception, and never remembered the scene being there, so I too was in the camp of the wipe being used for comedic effect and not to hide a scene. Whenever I'd try imagining how the scene would go, it just never worked for me. It would be redundant to show Squidward's transformation, and I can't imagine it being any scarier than Spongebob's, as his already made such a strong impression. While it sucks that the people invested themselves into the search only for it to be confirmed fake, I like that it brought attention to one of my favorite Spongebob episodes (more G rated body horror, plz)

[@masterseal0418]

The "deleted scene" was some Mandela Effect shit, and considering the fact kids don't have their brains fully developed yet at youth, and when they grew up, the adults start to have false memories of what was supposedly seen by them. I Was A Teenage Gary was practically the Junji Ito horror manga Uzumaki for kids, and was children's first experience with body horror. It makes a knick of sense that this was intentionally the sister episode to Scaredy Pants, a Halloween special which is sadly not 22 minutes in length with I Was A Teenage Gary as a short of sorts like with the season 11 episode Feral Friends. And the fact it caused mass hysteria surrounding another transformation sequence, is really intriguing to my eyes; confirming my fascination with the Mandela Effect, since Spongebob fans who believed they saw the second transformation scene had memorized the first one, which caused them to use these false memories to inform Lost Media Sleuths about this deleted scene they vaguely remember; in the end, nothing else can top this, A Day With Spongebob Squarepants, Mario Nights, Dragon Ball Z KFC Bootleg Film, Kablam Episode 29, Ed Edd and Eddy Special Ed and Saki Sanobachi(Go For A Punch) as the most iconic fake urban legends in the Lost Media community. They'll remain valiant of how much people spent *YEARS* searching for these, but later turned out to be not real much to their dismay. It's boggling for sure!

[@GlennJimenez]

Yeah though I was a child I remember the episode being aired on TV. I remember it made an impression but I don’t remember that squidward scene at all. I even remember the way the sunset behind the TV at my grandparents house while I was watching it But not squidward transforming.

This is the same thing I said too when I first seen that episode. There was never a deleted scene,it was the original episode as it was.

[@TG4164]

I am a Teenage Gary is not 11 minutes? I suppose a spark of the theory was that the scene was the rest of the 11 minutes and it was originally an 11 min episode, but was cut due to scaredy pants’ length

[@samwill7259]

Unfortunately, as natural as it seems, you can't take collective memory of something as definite proof that it happened/existed. Human memory is a shaky, rickety that basically reconstructs memories from context every time we recall them. We don't actually record memories, we just cobble together a "best guess" of what happened based on the information we've internalized and that sort of system is really easy to "trick" both intentionally and on accident. If we say we remember something one way for long enough, eventually we convince even ourselves, add on several dozen or hundred people agreeing with the false memory and that trick becomes even easier.

[@BeeLy1011]

Can confirm. Recently I remembered a video I thought I saw a few years ago of some KZbinr (don't remember who) accidentally saying "The games has begin" instead of "The game has begun," and I remember it becoming a big meme among that person's viewers... However, unless the many things that use the correct phrase have buried whatever it was, I cannot find any trace of that video or clip. At this point, it could've just been a dream I had, or if it does exist I may be misremembering what that mistake actually was.

Something I found interesting is at 14:10 when you're discussing the article talking about Super Kid Icarus there is also mention of Willie Wombat being developed for the PSX. Willie Wombat was the prototype name use for Crash Bandicoot and outside of Devs mentioning it by that name I don't believe it has ever been acknowledged by the original name anywhere else. I could be totally wrong. Just something interesting to point out.

[@paintervision]

On the Super Gameboy 2 issue, the problem with swapping cartridge shells is that SGB2 had a link port (which allowed multiplayer with another Game Boy or SGB2). If they did this, it would be easy to find in the wild… unless it was removed when it was transplanted? The other big thing is that the original SGB runs at 2.5% faster than a normal Game Boy, and SGB2 fixed this. So even if the link port was removed, you could probably tell from playing (and music speed) if you have the original or the second version.

[@relo999]

speed difference is hard to tell normally, unless you are intimately familiar with how it plays on gameboy. The big selling point of the GBP2 was it's link functionality, not so much getting the correct speed as almost nobody notices the difference. It's also the reason why it didn't have a linkport BTW, you can add one relativly easy and it won't work unless you mod it to run at the right speed. (theoretically it would work with 2 GBP1's with a linkport modded in, but that's quite unfeasable unless you try to set it up for a museum or exhibition yet somehow not have the budget to import 2 GBP2's)

[@LJA116]

In my opinion, while it’s always satisfying when a piece of lost media is finally found, it can be just as fascinating to trace the origin and spread of “lost media” that never existed. Like finding the magazine article that hints at a Hunter ghost in the Safari room in Luigi’s mansion, which was probably just flavor text but could’ve been easily interpreted as hinting at a boss that didn’t make it to the official release. Yeah Yeah Beebis 1 most likely doesn’t exist, but I just want to know for sure just where the hell that name came from. Also, I am totally one of those people with the false memory of the Squidward transformation scene. As a kid who didn’t know how to look things up online and didn’t know how TV shows worked completely, it was so confusing to watch Just One Bite or Procrastination on re-runs cut awkwardly when you KNOW you remembered seeing a scene there of Squidward getting gasoline dumped on him, or SpongeBob doing jumping jacks. Then you start thinking about if there’s any more scenes you once saw that were cut. And look, that has an awkward transition like the others! Do I remember a scene that used to be there? What could it have been? And then your brain gets confused about what’s imagination and what’s memory, and that line blurs more the more time passes.

I used to be on the old EEnE fan sites... obsessively. These communities were famous for all the bullshit rumors that they could come up with. For a long time, there was a rumor that Ed Edd n Eddy was going to get a Hollywood-level blockbuster in theaters... maybe it was true, perhaps it just became the Big Picture Show. To me, the 3 Men Lost Pilot sounds like someone conflated The Brother's Grunt (a forerunner to Ed Edd n Eddy that was on MTV in the mid 90s) with Beavis and Butthead (which had a significant influence on Ed Edd n Eddy). Danny Antonucci worked for Viacom at the time and the first EEnE pitch was to Nick, so yeah.

[@LSuperSonicQ]

Yeah that's the one thing I was never able to find, an actual source or place on where the rumor originated. I agree that confusion could have played a role in people claiming it existed since even Danny's work on commercials is so similar to the style of Ed, Edd N' Eddy.

[@cherrysauce7877]

I feel like all the people who remembered the Squidward snail transformation scene probably saw a fanmade edit, and misremembered it as a real scene later on. I don't know how common this type of edit used to be compared to the current day, but the possibility that someone had the ability to make a convincing fake Spongebob Squarepants scene isn't too slim, I believe.

[@ijustlikebees]

I'd believe that.

[@LSuperSonicQ]

I never found any evidence of fan recreations or fanfictions about it like with Ed, Edd N' Eddy but there very well could have been some old content on defunct SpongeBob fansites hat contributed to people believe it was real.

[@Maniac536]

There’s something I think people really need to know about QVC. They’re essentially a “dumping ground” for sellers that have a lot of surplus of something they just can’t sell, typically something that’s one generation behind. Case in point, they sold a lot of Palm VII one night at a time just before Palm release their m series. Another example. The 1080p HDTV had come out. QVC suddenly was selling a lot of super big screens. All of them were 720p, but they wouldn’t tell you that unless you called and asked. My guess is Nintendo had made this as a board revision to the SGB but by the time they had finished the run, they were pretty much done supporting the SNES planning to launch the N64. So why not dump their entire stock onto QVC, curious parents could buy it, and it wouldn’t bother retail shelves who were making space for the N64?

I'm not sure what's up in my brain, but I remember as a kid hearing an extended version of the Ben 10 opening. I can't for the life of me find it, and I don't remember where I heard it, but I just keep feeling it in my mind that there's an extended version out there that's lost now. I don't remember it being extended by much, just another line or two, but I can't shake the feeling of it existing. If it DOES exist, it would have either been on some special TV event that played it, one of the Ben 10 DVDs, or an earlier form of KZbin. It also would have been around before the existence of Ultimate Alien, maybe before Alien Force, though I'm not 100% sure on that. It was the Classic theme song too, which was the only one with lyrics until Omniverse, but I dropped off before that was a thing. I'd really like to hear that extended version again, but sadly my searches have resulted in nothing.

[@kingnewcomer2029]

I had a feeling the "I Was A Teenage Gary" episode of where the supposed removed scene of Squidward transforming into a snail too like SpongeBob was a long stretch after watching your video about it several months ago. I think I even saw it when it originally aired, and I'm pretty sure I remembered the wipe transition was always there. Now we have proof that it is 100% real since there are people that have recorded the episode when it originally aired. Add in the fact that the story boards lack such a transition, and it just doesn't add up, especially since Squidward's transformation being altered due to "scaring kids" made sense since SpongeBob's transformation since was left intact. It is a shame that an Ed Edd n' Eddy pilot never existed, and also sucks that people already contacted the creator of the show about the pilot, and he commented on there being no such thing, and you've spent all that time searching for nothing, but, at least it's finally solved. I do wish the Kid Icarus ("Palutena's Mirror" in Japan) SNES/SFC game was real as I would've loved to see more games from this underrated franchise. Maybe there'll be a new game for the Switch, or even a remastered version of Uprising ("New Light Mythology" in Japan) someday! That's definitely an interesting way on how the Super Game Boy 2 was sold in North America! XD Another excellent lost media video, LSSQ! :D Really nice to see these old bumpers from Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network again, so much nostalgia!

[@GojiBoiEarth1964]

Another thing that kinda disapprove the Snailward transformation is that including another dragged out transformation, especially towards the end of the episode, definitely would of been overkill and also ruined the gag. And even if it was real, it would been featured in the bonus features in the DVD like how the other cut scenes were.

[@JimMilton-ej6zi]

There's a ton of things that disprove it, like even just asking a polish person "hey did this thing happen" in polish would've easily proved that as a lie, but for some reason they think that if something isn't in english and something isn't already on the lost media forums then it's just as good as gone.

Assuming that QVC randomly decided to sell modded copies of the Super Game Boy 2 seems pretty far fetched to me. I thought you were going to say that maybe they just sold the original Super Game Boy on QVC and people misremember. I don't even think that's true but it seems more likely than QVC going this far out of their way to sell a slight variant on a product they could already sell. Why would QVC even think to do this, are we expected to think that QVC has gamers working at the company who know the difference between Super Game Boy versions and thought it was important to bring this vital update to American shores by any means necessary?

[@LSuperSonicQ]

I don't know a lot about QVC's business practices but I've heard about other instances of them modding or selling Japanese games to the US market. They might have swapped shells to make the product more familiar to those that bought the original or maybe they thought Nintendo would interfere if they noticed the bright blue casing. To me it's the most acceptable conclusion since more than one person recalled the shell being gray.

[@Tirgo69]

@@LSuperSonicQ Why go through the effort of importing Super Game Boy 2s and selling them either as original Super Game Boys or as some kind of extremely unusual attempt to sell the Super Game Boy 2 to the US market? I don't see the incentive for QVC to undertake the amount of hoops they'd have to jump through to make this happen, especially when it would have been apparently so unsuccessful that barely anyone even remembers it happened. QVC are not known for selling video games, they're known for selling dresses and handbags. Even at the peak of the Wii, they wouldn't dedicate more than one, maybe two hours a day to video games.

I had two pieces of media I searched for, one was fake and one might be or not? The first was to do with those handheld brick consoles that appeared in many different iterations. Those consoles that had a number of those black and white block games on them like snake, Tetris, a racing car game where you have to avoid hitting the cars, frogger and so on. I had several of those consoles in the late 90s and somehow I was sure that if you played each game on one and got to a high level on every game and got high enough points, that this would unlock the hidden game "Pac Man". Back then the web wasn't anywhere near like it became so it was much harder to confirm or deny this, especially since I only had short limited access to the internet then. I also never got to high levels on most of the games, either because I was bored playing the console after a while, or I found one game a bit too hard to play at higher levels which objects moved pretty fast. Eventually I did find out that Pac Man was never on those consoles and I really don't remember where I heard that Pac Man was supposed to be an unlockable game on those consoles. The second piece of media I did a lot of searching for, but gave up was a supposed mod for the game Deus Ex (2000). I still don't know if the article I found actually existed or I mis-remembered it, so I can't say if this was fake, a Mandela effect or it did exist and I can't find it. Sometime in the late 2000s, I was sure I read a short article online somewhere that started someone was going to make a mod for Deus Ex so you could have Eminem in the game and I am sure I saw a screenshot above the text in the article, showing an NPC in Deus Ex looking like Eminem. Since it wouldn't be hard for anyone who has modded Deus Ex before to make textures for Eminem NPC and make an Eminem NPC as its quite simple, its not something that is really worth spending time looking for. I could make one if I really wanted, but it was more the article I am sure that I read that I was looking for. I asked on several forums and no one had heard about it before, and some just laughed when they found out what I was looking for. I searched for ages, then eventually give up.

I feel like a lot of these problems come exclusively from a narrow mindset with searching for stuff. Like with that polish lie you could've easily gotten in contact with a polish person and asked them but you didn't, you just saw that no one on the primarily english speaking side of things had no information so it meant that there was nothing there. There was also a psychological tell to it, where you could've easily found that there was a transformation scene in the show but to the wrong character, which would indicate that a false memory is extremely likely, that isn't anything disproving it but it's certainly something that would give a hint that something might not be true. With things like lost media you also need to be willing to step outside of a bubble and investigate everything, because nothing will actually be on the lost media forums unless it was already found outside of it, meaning that discussing it on a place like that is not likely going to get you anywhere but opinions on if something is faked or not. You'd have to be willing to contact the creator, the creator's wife, the cousin of the creator's brother and anyone else who might've been tied to it, because even if they don't have it they may be willing to tell you who might.

QVC would never be allowed to modify Nintendo's hardware and sell it. It's actually illegal.

[@plaguis1391]

Because nothing illegal ever actually happens, right?

My personal piece of lost media is something I'm convinced I dreamt or misremembered, but it still irks me to this day. It was like this caterpillar "3D" cartoon, if that makes sense? I think it was Japanese or something foreign and I think I "remember" watching it with the On Demand feature on FiOS in 2008-2010 as a kid, but I haven't been able to find it. It was sort of like Pocoyo but with a caterpillar and the one episode I think of is one where the caterpillar was sick and its friends were trying to make it feel better or something. I looked through all the TV listings for kids shows for FiOS from that time and couldn't find it, I wonder if I confused it with another cartoon? I have no recollection of the name of it if it existed, because I was about 3-6 when I supposedly watched it. If anyone can find something similar to that and reply to me here, I'd appreciate it. That and Chi's Sweet Home, those kinds of shows, but this was a very different animation style. I still don't know what I could be misremembering it as, so anything helps.

I 100% remember the Three Men fact from years ago. I read a lot of EENE news around the time of the final season and before the movie. I dont remember it being a pilot, but instead a pitch to comedy central that didnt get picked up. It came along with a drawing of the 3 characters who looked nothing like the Eds. So yes, it was a real rumor back in the day. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say it was misinformation. Ive just kinda assumed it was true for the last 10+ years until this video. Was kinda sureal watching this video and learning its not true. With that said, i dont remember it being lost media. I dont even remember it being a produced pilot. Just a pitch. Kinda wild.

Are there any topics in this video that aren't covered in other vids?

[@elphive42]

I don’t know if the theory of there being a grey US SGB2 holds water unless we have an actual unit. It’s more complicated than just cutting the plastics for remaking something like a SGB, and the system is a completely custom form factor not shared with any other cartridges, meaning you can’t just shell swap with other defective carts. I can’t consider that it would be economical, let alone logical, for someone like QVC to buy up tons of SGB2 units and then put in the work to modify them.

[@nasir3DS]

Hopefully these videos never become lost media some day.

I also remember a movie that I was told didn't exist. It starred Whoopi Goldberg where she plays a maid for a father and his daughter in the 50's or early 60s. I remembered seeing a part where Whoopi Goldberg took the young girl to a night club. I also remembered Larry Miller being in the movie.

[@dynamon911nz]

16:35 i came to conclusion is probaly confused with enix's sequel actraiser due to similar aspect of the falling angel with the god protecting him. probaly thats my assumption where started the rumor, dont know the specific date was released but it was my suspect as of why they made these to fill up the pages. is just my speculation of mine.

[@ThatMatt85]

There was a gameboy player for the N64 that I thought was called super gameboy 2. I thought it was a japanese only thing but remembered it being used in the Pokemon Mall Tour from back in the 90s. I thought Nintendo made a few not for sale but for use in situations like that. Trying to look it up just now the only thing i'm seeing is called the wide boy. Anyways just thought I'd post that.
