Strange Mysteries From Reddit

Cassette tape song has been solved! It is Żyj szybko i giń by Roman Kostrzewski, @Zendion_ is the person who identified it. Sadly, Roman passed away in early 2022. May he rest in peace ❤ You can listen to the song in full quality here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGGUqqiNrNF4l6s

[@yonaholic]

im pretty sure roman;s song is a cover of an older song because the lyrics are different, could even be different language. also roman's song was made in 2007.

[@Zendion_]

@@yonaholic That’s interesting because the English Sony cassette cover was 1998. The only way that would make sense is if it was some kinda recording from the band on a much older cassette.

when i remember weird and obscure things from my childhood i dont get scared as much as i feel empty and sad, it makes me think about all the unique and strange things i consumed and loved as a kid, and the fact that alot of obscure things I saw will always be lost to me and in some cases the entire world, its harrowing. It's an especially strong feeling when it comes to some weird ps2 game or demo disc I played, thinking about all the work people put into media like this just for it to be forgotten by everyone is a downer.

[@TheNumber1RatedSalesman1997]

i couldn't agree more- been trying to figure out how to word these feelings

[@abandonedmuse]

For a word to define the feeling, look in the dictionary of obscure sorrows. Im almost positive he wrote a definition… I must say you guys are real lucky because I am creeped out by 99.9% of the stuff that I remember. I don’t know if it’s that I used to watch really weird stuff or that really weird stuff was presented to me, but I view the 80s and 90s in way that feels very haunted and creepy. It could also be that I am just really good at creeping myself out…. I don’t scare easily but I do get really weird vibes from things and this is what I feel from the 80s and the 90s when I think back upon it… and it’s funny because my gen Z daughter says that she views the 80s and 90s in the same way. she says she doesn’t feel the nostalgia as much as a haunted feeling.

[@scrumpcity]

yup. my favorite ps2 game is based off an obscure marvel series so the game AND it’s characters are basically forgotten by everyone but me and my brothers. makes me so sad that people will never get to experience the absolute joy i had playing it. i was able to snag a copy of the comics so i at least have a bit of a memory knowing i didn’t make it up

[@cakes4]

@@scrumpcityso you don't remember the name of it?

[@scrumpcity]

@@cakes4 no I remember the name of the game, and like I said even have the comics the game is based on (or the comics are based on the game, not sure which came first), but it was such an obscure piece of media no one remembers it at all

[@lightbulbcan]

Regarding the empty show: sorry if someone pointed this out already but there is a great 1940’s movie called The Red Shoes that features an extended ballet performance halfway through and then (spoilers for an 80 year old movie) after the main ballerina dies tragically, the film ends with the piece being performed again in it’s entirety but without the main character and the camera just following empty space. It’s super eerie and I thought it was pretty ballsy for the time. Second edit: just rewatched the ending - again - and my memory was correct except it’s not the entire 15 minute performance and it’s intercut with other stuff. It hits really hard emotionally though, I guess that’s why I remembered it being longer.

[@scrumpcity]

the movie is relatively similar to the story of the red shoes so i’m wondering if there’s an animated movie or show of the story? perhaps they made an anime off of the movie? (it’s such a good movie though i think everyone should watch it)

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

1948, and based on the H. C. Andersen fairytale of the same name. Really have to read more Andersen someday. I own all of them in several compilation books.

[@TheNathanNS]

The whipped cream one instantly made me think of Grizzly Tales even before that was checked, solely because the concept of "fat boy dies from eating whipped cream" is pretty much par for the course for that show. It was so over the top for it's gruesome punishments for kids I'm surprised how it was ever allowed to air.

[@TheRunningLeopard]

Same here, I have watched very little of the show since I am in the US but I’m almost certain it’s from Grizzly Tales or the HBO show Crashbox. Both have that vibe and some scenes that feature obese folks meeting some odd fates. *(Fixed spelling mistakes.)*

[@TheRunningLeopard]

@@MillenniaPoductions No worries, hope you find what you are looking for.

[@IDEKaaaaaaaagh]

I HATED that programme so god damn much. Even as a kid I questioned who exactly the target audience was meant to be; it was too aggressive, gross, and excessive to be affective fear mongering for naughty kids, and it was obviously not for adults. Like, obviously not everything needs to have a point or meaning, but the programme was clearly intent on attempting to drive home what bad behaviour was and that everything has consequences, but not even children can take that level of extremes seriously, so you're left with gross stories and a gross art style for what...? Lmao.

[@whyamibored727]

I used to love the show as a kid, I was pretty well-behaved and watched it because of the gore but did think it was rather silly at the time. Always been a big fan of blood n gore though so that might've fed into it. I think it might've been purely for entertainment from the start and it seems they did add a tagline "Cautionary Tales for Lovers of Squeam!" instead of just hitting out at bad-behaving kids. (this show might be why I'm so desensitised baha)

[@wolfiedoesthings1436]

By the way OP described the show, I wouldn't be surprised if it was another show that traumatized me as a kid. It was called 1000 Ways to Die and depicted people dying in gruesome/graphic ways. Often times the death victims, according to some comments I found about the show, are made unlikeable so the audience doesn't feel bad for them or something.

[@can-of-pringles]

One thing that sucks is having the memory of watching a thing as a toddler that made you feel disturbed or scared but growing up and having no clue what it even was. Remembering the feeling you got from it rather than what you were watching.

[@imacardboardbox]

I have an extremely vivid memory of me watching a movie with my parents when I was a little kid and jumping up on the couch and screaming and crying at the TV because something was about to happen, I'm sure it was an animal death or something but I cannot for the life of me remember what movie it is or what was happening, just me crying

[@RedCanyonWolf]

This was me with Darkness from Legend. Waaaay later in life I saw it again and the memories that came flooding back…. Holy moly…😅

[@DarkVelvetMoon]

With regard to Pingu there was a trend for a while in Scandinavia where you would redub children's cartoons, Disney movies (Pocahontas dub is the most famous one from this era), postman Pat and specifically Pingu. Where the Pingu ones were specifically quite harsh and some of them were also stop-motion animations and I remember watching some of them and a lot of them were Swedish, so I would imagine maybe searching the Scandinavian side of KZbin might get results

[@WaferTots]

i love that, theres like a scottish pingu that got popular a few years back and its amazing

[@w0rmg0rl]

[@dowdybaloney]

I remember watching those pingu videos with the swedish subtitles and laughing so much as a kid I thought it was super funny, for being a kid that used youtube to watch pingu I was quite lucky that I didn't stumble across anything too absurd (except the thingu of course)

[@Japanlifelive]

The Pingu lost media could be from the 90s TV series MADtv. They did a segment called Clops where famous claymation characters did terrible things, and then were apprehended by the police. It was set in the style of the television show cops.

When the missing character from title screen came up, I said “that’s a tumblr post!!!!” So I was gonna be sure that this person created a false memory. But it’s definitely plausible that the tumblr tags and reblogs had examples of that in real shows so I believe the person a little more lol

[@justanautisticnerd8969]

Here is what I think. I dont think its a fullfledged anime. Maybe an indie short maybe inspired of that tumbrl post. Because i swear to god ive seen someone use that idea.

[@LocalTorchwoodIntern]

I think I might know what post your talking about and I can agree! The idea does sound like this one episode of Torchwood where the opening puts a character (who creates false memories/ twists memories) into it like he was always part of the show. But Torchwood is live action compared to animated like what the poster was remembering.

[@Forcommentingpurposes]

Yeah I definitely had seen the post so I think op it that post is full of ahit

Weirdly I wonder if its madoka magica... that's like the only anime that comes to mind

[@blujaebird]

I think a lot of found music belongs to unknown or local bands who probably have very little about them online. My mom dated a drummer when I was a kid, and I met a lot of local bands during that time. The most famous band was Slightly Stoopid. Unfortunately, a lot of awesome music by other bands has gone missing and a lot of them only seem to exist in my memory. But there are definitely old CDs somewhere of various with the music I haven't heard since I was a kid. I'll bet my mom has a lot of old CDs.

[@Ur_local_cryptid]

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. My moms boyfriend had a band that was really popular around my city a long time ago, but now they don’t exist anymore. His songs are on Spotify, but either than me, his son, and a few of our friends, he has literally no listeners. But they played his music on the radio, and a ton of his other songs were never uploaded to Spotify, so if anyone ever tried to find it after hearing it one time they wouldn’t be able to

FOR THE THIRD ENTRY: I did take 40 mins and looked through all the replies and previews for comments and tags in the reblogs on tumblr. Commented over on Reddit, but the only anime I found listed that OP hasn't already disproved were Devil Survivor 2: The Animation (end credits sequence), Kamen Rider Ex-aid, Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphan, Madoka Magica, and then Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (although I really doubt it was that one). I imagine if it was any of these it was OP misremembering and mixing memories maybe with the tumblr post and another anime, as I'm not sure how many if any of these are similar to what they described. Other redditors had already suggested most on this list, also, and OP never got back. So we wait and see.

[@vivianneven]

UPDATE: LOL that actually got me temp banned because some of the stuff had been mentioned by other commenters. No respect for being thorough and accounting for what we know.

[@happycylinderpigs255]

Are you still searching for the rest of the video? Because if you are, have you tried reaching out to the creators? I’m like 90% sure I know who they are. If they are, they both have their own wikipedia pages and still make films and are a well-known family of creators in sweden and everything (they are father and son). You know their names are Bo (people aren’t usually named ”Bosse”, it’s a nickname for Bo) and Ossian Melin. If you check their wikipedia pages it all matches up. The ages, the country, the names… And the fact that Bo is a professional filmmaker and artist that made an award winning dark short film about a violent clay character that is animated in a similar style around THE SAME YEARS (2008) that you recall seeing the video. It’s called ”Dockpojken”. Look up their pages. The other videos on the channel you found part of the video on also feature a guy that looks like Ossian Melin. They would at least be able to deny making it if it’s not them. But it really should be that simple? Maybe? Should I try reaching out in swedish to them? Or has anyone already tried that?

[@happycylinderpigs255]

If you still want to find it, try reaching out to the creators. Everything points to them being swedish award winning filmmaker Bo Melin and his (also filmmaker) son. Bo Melin has made other (official) dark and violent clay animations in a similar style, and Ossian looks like the guy on the youtube channel you found. They probably made the pingu video together in their free time.

[@smellyghost]

Fun fact if you add the type of "before:2007-01-01" in a KZbin search you'll date range video results to before a specific date. Searching up Pingu videos with older dates definitely reveals that there are a lot of that type of Pingu video genre. Lots of stop motion/claymation/animated Pingu and friends killing each other and stuff. lol

[@fantasticwhovian3061]

For the on top of spaghetti one, between the black and white checkered floor and it described as a bumper, my first thought was early cartoon network. They definitely had some strange bumpers, and i wonder if that's been investigated yet.

It is a kids song compilation commercial. The original was animated.

[@Doodles1265]

i vividly remember seeing those murderous pingu videos as a kid as i loved pingu a lot. i wholeheartedly believe that the one with pingu and the piano thing is an actual video, because i remember a comment on the video being stuck with me, about “how this video is promoting violence, and this video shouldn’t be for kids!” and then people going against them in the replies. i also remember there were credits, which were (german/czech?) names that were all capitalized and looked like they were made from modeling clay. hearing about these mysteries that i could vividly remember that it was a real thing feels really strange. 0_o

[@DOCTOR.DEADHEAD]

So a few things regarding the show opening with a missing character; Firstly, the site Anilist has a huge library of anime and a search function that lets you filter by genre, year, and many other things. The tumblr post was from Feburary of 2014, so searching per year under the horror tag starting from that date could probably prove useful, IF op is in fact remembering an anime. Secondly, I highly doubt this to be the find considering both how popular the franchise is and that it's a 2016 anime, but this reminded me of Danganronpa 3's despair arc opening; There are two versions of it where a character who dies appears in one but not the other. And I guess it would maybe present itself in a way where you wouldn't expect character deaths, but that's more likely if you're jumping into a random episode with no knowledge of the series, since again it's very popular.

[@beesus1412]

i also thought of the despair arc opening, i also feel like i watched this "empty show" but the more i think the more i feel like it may have just been that?

[@TheLast2Say]

I found a piece of kind of obscure lost media you might want to talk about in your videos. There is this KZbin channel from the company Frederator, Cartoon Hangover, that has some lost media. Basically, Cartoon Hangover had a project called “Really Short Shorts” in 2012 that 3 animatiors would make cartoons for, and there were a lot of these animations but almost all of them are completely missing with only thumbnails found, and there is basically nothing about this online. The animatiors were Elliot Cowan, Lulinternet, and Melaphantastic. Some of the animations were called: Junk food rave (found), Grumpy acid man, Alphabet Monster, Carmen Geddit, Veggies vs fat boy, Easter bunny’s origin story, etc.

[@blueberrysodaart]

The first one sounds like it could be from the HBO kids series ‘a little curious’, they had a lot of kids songs and little stories, early 2000s CGI, and I recall some of their shorts and clips scaring me as a kid bc of the uncanny nature. Funnily enough I was terrified of the Sesame Street on top of spaghetti as a kid bc of the meatball rolling towards the camera 💀

[@shamra1245]

While I don't remember spaghetti specifically I agree, that sounds a TON like the CGI style in A Little Curious. The only part that doesn't add up though is that it was on HBO, which in my area was even more expensive than basic cable (we only had it a few years around 2000) and since OP didn't have cable at all it's less likely :( Still possible though!

[@crescentcreates6286]

The empty show could be some real horror thing or an evil farming game effect, if it is an evil farming game effect I have a proposal if it wasn’t from the tumblr post: There’s a Jonny razor short where he does his “bad show idea” thing. (Note that I’m writing this from memory of the short) I believe it was a sitcom where every episode starts with the characters having a conversation before they get a knock at the door and the episode’s plot begins. At the end of every episode they try to finish the conversation but are cut off before they can At the end of every season they decide not to answer the door and one of the characters realizes they’re in a show and leaves, I think at the very end the final episode would be just complete silence. I think the tumblr post is a likely source if it is an evil farming game effect but since multiple people seem to remember it one of them could’ve gotten it from this short. I wouldn’t be surprised if it did exist though, this is the type of thing horror people on KZbin might make or it could be some obscure anime

For the "empty show", is it Mayoiga? It's a pretty obscure and bad anime from 2016 where a bunch of characters go to a haunted village and die off every episode. I can't find good rips of the OP but it definitely showed the entire cast in the OP, so it's possible they were removed when they died in subsequent airings, since there exists a version of the OP which is completely devoid of any character being shown with only their names showing up.

[@Aaaaaa-u2i1r]

whipped cream: one or another, existing or not, OP made it into reality and ended up with a cool little short animation creation, hehe.

[@Snake3yesEddie]

I know it’s probably a long shot but, there is a chance the Whip Cream one is from a UK claymation comedy skit called “Angry Kid” even though it was claymation it was targeted towards adults it was on the same level as Family Guy in terms of humour. When it was 1st seen on TV it was shown during commercial breaks as 1 skit would last a few minutes. I don’t think there was a skit that involved whipped cream but there was one in which the kid was in the bathroom and his parents would keep asking him to come out as he was always getting up to stuff that ended badly. As he is messing around he picks up his dads shaving cream and he thinks it is edible so he puts it in his mouth and squeezes a bunch of the shaving cream in his mouth but because shaving cream expands in volume it quickly fills up his mouth causing the cream to squirt out of his nose and ears and it causes him to be violently sick to the point his face turns green and he passes out. The accents in the show are distinctly British similar to the one the guy made. I tried to find this particular skit but there are literally hours of footage as they’ve been making them from the late 90s and are currently still making them but the good news is that it does look like every single skit they’ve ever made is uploaded on KZbin it has its own channel obviously named “Angry Kid”. There is a lot of gross out humour to it so it’s not exactly gonna be to everyone’s taste.

I had all these weird memories of weird shows from the 90s and 80s, and I just have to describe half of it and literally they find it in two seconds! Honestly, using the hive mind of Reddit is amazing… the only one they cannot find is the satanic video… So I will describe it here hopefully somebody remembers the same thing… everything that has been suggested is not it. So it is a movie that I saw in the 1980s when I was 11 years old. Which must’ve been 1987. I have very little memory of the beginning of this movie. I just know that the guy and his wife have moved to New York and he’s working at a new place and there is this building where he goes and they hold these rituals. The whole thing is that at the very end there is a black and red cake which is a blood cake. And they all eat from it, and I just remember being really creeped out about that. It is not Rosemary‘s baby, I have seen that before. Also it is not the brotherhood of Satan. A few of us literally went through every single Satanic panic movie in the 80s and it is none of them. I saw it only one time, so it’s pretty hard to remember details, but I’ll never forget that cake. There is other movies that have cakes that are similar, but it’s not that one. Also, they were in a stone ritual ceremonial place. It was inside of a building that’s all I remember. Also hoods…cloaks i guess…Black and red hoods and old men. Also I vaguely remember a conflict between the wife and the main protagonist of the story maybe that she thought they were bad and he was trying to deny it and then that’s where at the end when they present him with this cake he realizes that they are satanic I don’t know… Something like that. I have been looking for this movie for decades. I would also like to add that all of my other descriptions were pretty correct. Apparently I have a photographic memory for weird and creepy things that I’ve seen.

Here's at least one answer for you. While there are certainly a handful of anime out there that change their openings and/or closings as the cast roster changes, the only anime I remember doing it like how the OP describes is the 2013 anime "Devil Survivor II: The Animation". That series has characters being added to the opening and closing as they join the story as well as vanish from the opening and closing as they die. Devil Survivor 2 sticks out to me because it was the first time I had seen a series commit hard to consistently altering openings and closings to reflect the plot in such a way, and it drove home the loss of those characters even more. I enjoyed Devil Survivor II, and my only complaint is they crammed the series into a single standard season. That show deserved more time.

The pingu one really sounds like it could've been a robot chicken sketch. Did anyone try that angle for searching yet?

[@shani-just-shani]

1. Omg I was just wondering when your next video was coming out, then I saw this in my subs!!! 2. I have definitely seen that title sequence with the missing characters. I don't really watch anime, but I remember watching that one with my ex. I don't remember it being *that* obscure but possibly one of us stumbled upon it online or one of her coworkers recommended it to us or something. But OOP's recollection matches mine almost exactly

[@LittleMissChriss]

I love your videos! Would you ever consider doing an update video for the four mysteries that were solved? 🙂

[@perciusmandate]

I remember the spaghetti bumper! It was definitely a Nickelodeon bumper that aired between shows or during commercial breaks. Though I think I remember the spaghetti being claymation rather than CGI. The time frame would be late 90s to early 00s, when shows like Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, and Hey Arnold were in the line-up. I think it was pre-Spongebob.

[@showshortage4684]

The Empty Show sounds like Too Many Cooks. It aired on Adult Swim and was like an extended sitcom intro where people died throughout the themesong. I dont think it was animated, but it did have muppets in it (?) Only thing is, Too Many Cooks is just a video, not a series.

[@drakelakes]

Some of those people who recall the "On Top of Spaghetti" short from the 90's might be thinking of those children's song compilations, specifically the All Time Children's Songs Commercial which would line up with Doug and Ren & Stimpy airings comment. The dang whistling meatballs from that commercial would be something I remembered (or would haunt my memories, if you prefer) from time to time, eventually forgetting about them until someone aired on a stream I was watching.

[@MaxBobbitt]

Damn I totally remember going to my friends house and him showing me that Pingu video back in the day, he was always on that part of KZbin with the “evil” parodies of kids stuff. Think Barney with a chainsaw lol

[@callmealx]

okay so that british tv fat kid cream scene sounds like a scene from a show called 'Stupid!' or something like that - had a bunch of recurring characters, and the main gist was that there was a king who would fuck things up for people by pulling a lever. EG - there was a piano teacher that only taught his student Chopsticks, the sketch 'BENDY WENDY' and 'DEVIL FINGER!' both come from that show I believe, or a very similar show. Anyway, it was full of ridiculous stuff, and I'd be willing to bet it is from there.

[@melle-d9971]

for that one with the characters disappearing in the ops, the Shera reboot, at least in the later seasons, took out and added back characters as they got captured, killed or mind controled

[@fiend-ish1090]

when you showed the missing characters in title theme tumblr post i glanced at the url like "oh hey thats erarg" and then i did a huge double take lol. somehow it still surprises me how much of the internet rtvs has been apart of

[@Streetphobe]

same here, it made me chuckle. i was like Oh hey lmfao i love seeing rtvs scattered around the internet

[@apjapki]

Wait the missing character person said they remembered a Tumblr post about the idea? Well that's it then. The fact that they immediately remembered this is incredibly suspicious.

[@clowncake5198]

not really? small things can trigger memories, they could of forgotten how they found the show and when they saw the tumbler post something clicked about that being how they found it

[@toamatoro570]

Holy hell, I'm Mothman! Thank you so much for the shout-out!

[@IzumiChenmeiru]

OMG I was just thinking about your last reddit media mysteries video! I love whatvyou do as always!

[@retrolapse]

As someone who has gone through every anime seasonal chart from 1998 to 2022, I'm convinced the "The Empty Show" one isn't an anime considering the more obscure unmentioned shows that would match that description (eg: Narutaru, Alien 9) or more recent ones (eg: Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku) doesn't have that on their openings. I would've mentioned Mayoiga, but OP has already confirmed that it's not it either, and considering OP said that the artstyle isn't old based on why OP said Vandread didn't match up, I'm sure that this was something OP's mind made up.

[@TheBloodaxed]

For that empty one, I scrolled through that tumblr post's replies and the only ones that stuck which weren't what the poster already debunked were Kamen Rider Ex-aid, Space Patrol LuLuco (the second op has a character missing but not like op states), Gun x Sword had characters in silhouette or grayed out if they weren't met or died, Full Metal Alchemist brotherhood had those title card eye catches that gave a moment of silence for dead characters, Edgar Allen Poe's party just omitted the cards for characters in the opening, making it shorter and shorter, and Devil Survivor 2's ending apparently cuts people out. Can't scroll back further than December 2016 for some reason and that tumblr post is dated February 2014. But the vast majority of the posts in there are School Live/Gakkougurashi and Too Many Cooks. There was an additional mention of Mother's Basement doing a review of an OP that covered it for some Halloween, but that may just either be Shiki or School Live/Gakkougurashi again

[@carsonvessar3763]

I swear I've seen that whipped cream short as a commercial or something. For some reason I remember seeing it while watching Malcom in the Middle maybe? I'm not sure but it's ringing too many bells

[@Sopjies]

I always love to come back and recheck all kylies videos to see if the stories ever have updates ^.^ its nice to get more videos

[@wonmilkwoo371]

Never stop making videos, you're consistently great.

[@lesliemartin3]

Dude! You're kicking ass❤ also, I could remember if you said it or not but the song sounds a bit like Xiu Xiu, specifically a song called Mary turner Mary turner if it was slowed down. That song's only been out 5 so it's not that one specifically but they may want to check out their catalog.

[@monsieurlaguillotine3481]

Alright the fuck is it with all these unidentified songs being absolute bangers?

[@trainman05matthewb.65]

I love this!!! While I'm a bit young to have been around for any of these, I feel like I've seen them before and become invested in their being solved. Excellent vid as always!

[@Mayahiime]

in the past few months honestly this has become one of my favourite youtube channels

[@Glamy_Glamorous_Glam911]

As somebody who lives in Germany (was born in there) I had a fear of a TV show called "Bernd Das Brot". It was a strange piece-of-bread-loaf guy that talked about sometimes random and weird shit. I remember it would always be on in the night times, maybe because it was a lullaby(?) show that teaches you facts before you go to sleep. While a lot of kids enjoyed this show (including my brothers) I found it creepy. Every time I was watching it at night (because I didn't wanted to sleep) when I tried to move away from the TV, left or right. I saw that Bernd was always looking into my direction I moved to. Thankfully some years later the TV show stopped. Still after I've watched Bernd Das Brot, I couldn't have the urge to sleep even more. So yeah, you can search some more information that I have missed about it somewhere on the internet. Safe search. 🧤🎭 P.S: The channel the TV show aired on was called KiKA

[@jacko4451]

While I’m not from Germany (have heritage though) I watched it once and it took a while for me to not get scared by that thing lol

[@AlexReynard]

I rarely have a sense of 'I think I saw that!!' from these, but yeah, the mention of the bloody piano from the Pingu one sounds very familiar.

[@cheroishere]

babe wake up, kylie uploaded 🍿

[@phoebus86]

After looking for bit on that empty show lost media, I think it is either an obscure anime or it doesn't exist. I've found a couple reddit posts that predate the op's post and they suggested anime that the op already debunked. So either is a false memory or it is an anime that is relatively unknown in the english market

[@MildlyDisgruntledPikachu]

THAT SHORT CLIP OF THE DOGS BAKING SOMETHING IN SESAME STREET UNLOCKED A DEEP MEMORY OMFG

[@Liloula_32]

I saw the pingu one on KZbin too! It was traumatizing.

[@TW-qw5zr]

One thing similar that I've currently experienced is a Wallace and Gromit-style claymation short I watched 15+ years ago. I'm fairly certain it was a bonus feature on a DVD checked out from my local library. The short takes place inside an old movie theater with three notable characters: A man and his wife, perhaps the owners/operators of the venue, and a piano player/organist who provided musical accompaniment to the silent films the theater screened. The husband had a sort of obsession with hiding in a wicker basket that was kept in either a storeroom or a sort of "backstage" area and the short ended with the theater catching fire and burning down. Aside from that, there are three scenes I remember vividly. The first was one of the theater operating normally, the silhouette of the musician, a heavyset man with a rounded head, playing the piano cast against the screen before the musician is slowly lowered out of sight. The next is the wife holding back her husband from running into the flames while he says something along the lines of "I have to get back to my basket." The last was the husband being saved from the fire by the musician activating the stage lift while playing his piano. The husband makes to leave the theater, but looks back, giving the only good look at the musician that I remember. He was normal aside from his head, which was either like a carved pumpkin or the sackcloth face of the Oogie-Boogie Man. The musician says two words in a reverberating voice "Going down" before he resumes playing as the lift descends back into the fire. The short ends with the couple outside, watching the building burn down.

[@StarriHoshio]

That's definitely "Stage Fright," featured on the DVD for Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of The Were-rabbit. I watched it some days or weeks ago. It's very enjoyable and has its own commentary. I'd highly recommend you'd find and rewatch the short, it's very well done.

[@crybunny]

of all the lost songs i’ve heard, that one from the construction site might be my fave 👀

[@OG.StrawberryGoat]

You bringing up Baby Songs and showing the videos unlocked some forgotten childhood memories that I was not prepared for

[@EveCat2343]

I just discovered your channel. I know this is late, but for the character disappearing from the opening, my first thought was Corpse Party. I never watched the anime adaptation, so I don't know if this was in the opening, but in the game, there's a picture of all the characters together. Later, all the characters that died have their faces blacked out as they have been erased from existence.

[@nu80sdiscofunk]

Omg.. those hap palmer songs, i watched them a lot as a kid born in the 90s and i swear some of those videos (and even the cassette tape soundtrack) stuck with me to even now for how eerie they felt to me, i still can't bring myself to listen to them. even tho it was only a small mention, you are the only content creator i've seen acknowledge it so far so thank YOU for affirming my spooky childhood memories😂

[@Redhotsmasher]

I'm not at all surprised that the Pingu parody turned out to be Swedish, gag "subtitled" real Pingu episodes were a thing on Swedish KZbin in the late 00s and were the first thing I immedately thought of when I heard the words "Pingu" and "parody".

[@JamesHyde1986]

The fat kid eating the squirty cream was from a UK comedy sketch show, but I can’t remember which off the top of my head. Something along the lines of Not the 9’Clock News but not that as this was much later. It was live action not CGI but done in the style of a cartoon, with vibrant, whacky clothes and furniture. It was possibly even done with American accents or a stereotypical American show styling, despite being British, and if I recall correctly was one of a few skits featuring this kid and getting into trouble.

[@Kraken2143]

Yes! I remember this. It was a bit Max Headroom in its style.

[@Fade4Black-pn2cg]

When i heard that empty show i immediately thought angels beats as i remember everytime a character in that show would die or pass they would be removed from the opening and only their silhouette would be there but now looking at the opening on youtube its not there! So now this thing just created a hole new mystery for me cause im 100% that it was like that when i watched it back in the 2000s also on some shitty anime streaming website

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

00:42 Fraggle Rock! It once got sent instead of the regular Christmas show for all of Christmas. I was so angry, because they're not Christmas-related AT ALL!

[@radxrubyx7275]

[@Cjaj2]

the empty show one I swear this is "too many cooks" lol

[@TivTheMelancholy]

I remember the Pengu claymation, specifically the piano scene. I think I always assumed they were Robot Chicken skits.

[@LotusBjorn]

Brutal kids show parodies, especially of Pingu, was very very popular on early Swedish/nordic youtube, there's many videos similar to the one mentioned. Hopefully full video has been archived somewhere on Swedish website/forums

[@tessfabled4115]

5:53 DUDE SAME! I remember the song with the witch (who was a somewhat unnerving puppet) and the My Pet Monster advert at the start of the tape!

[@c.nicolino]

Please, what's the song that starts at 14:15? I love how you use songs from games I've played in my life ant they evoke deep memories. And i really wanna know where are they from! Please list the songs if possible! Thanks for the videos!

[@HydraulicBeanbag]

I feel like I remember a mid 2000s kid show where dinosaurs that were puppets lived in a tree, like the inside of the trunk. It might have been a dream though

[@charliejones7512]

Can you give more details?

[@HydraulicBeanbag]

@@charliejones7512 on second thought i think it was just a dream, but it would have been something like the telletubbies but with dinosaur characters that spoke

[@samanthal2218]

are you thinking of the show Dinosaurs? not mid 2000s but probably had reruns around that time

[@shani-just-shani]

Could it be Under the Umbrella Tree?

[@HydraulicBeanbag]

@@shani-just-shani idk if thats it or not but it totally matched the vibe of this show

ngl that empty show sounds really interesting, hope someone manages to find it.

[@phantasielle]

while i don't think these are what the op was talking about, games like doki doki literature club, omori, and your turn to die have similar concepts. if you like the idea of the empty show, i would recommend playing them

[@itsasquid]

The Pingu short sounds like a Robot Chicken parody

[@darbythegamer5152]
