@@jiornojiovanna5722 Damn, that seriously sucks, considering that Saki Sanobashi is better fan created rather than trying to be prove the real deal is out there.
huh, that actually sounds kinda plausible. Might have even been a real video somewhere on the net back then, welding these different scenes to make them look different.
Considering how often the scenes of violence from the Anime adaptation show up on lists of 'TOP 10 MOST GRUESOME ANIME DEATHS!' or 'TOP 10 MOST VIOLENT ANIME' lists, I really wouldn't be surprised if this is how the legend began.
I recall there being a similar scene to the plot of Saki Sanobashi in Nichijou, I figured the OP might have misremembered that and mixed it with Higurashi or some other horror/guro anime. Human memory is so corruptible.
I feel like Saki Sanobashi may be another Evil Farming Game situation where the OP misremembered an anime and tried to piece it together, accidently borrowing scenes from other animes. Buy hey, we managed to find other weird and obscure lost media so who knows, maybe it is real.
people really gotta stop falling asleep during vinesauce streams lmao. in serious though i would be willing to believe that as well. that their brain had lumped at the very least more than one obscure guro anime together in its memories and when they tried to remember one they just got the anime amalgam.
It's funny how something being lost can elevate it's desirability. If A Day With Spongebob Squarepants was real and freely available, nobody would care to watch it. Tell people they can't watch it, now they want to. :P
I do think people would watch a day with spongebob but they would hate it and some RUclipsrs would make negative review videos on it. This would give the movie sort of a cult following before eventually being forgotten about.
There is a (very) vaguely similar short film called Lady in the Sea of Blood. That one was actually lost media for awhile that was found recently, and there's still 3 missing parts of the series it's from. So who knows, maybe Saki Sanobashi will indirectly lead to the whole series being found because of the sudden interest in obscure Japanese horror. Sometimes good things can come from dead end searches!
I really feel it’s based off something with a completely different name than “Go For a Punch”, considering how many guro anime was made illegal or shut down these independent video shops that had these movies from smaller animation companies. The description literally sounds like a type of anime that could exist and that does help things lol

I’ve noticed a recent spike in new channels having extremely high quality videos. I think we’re moving away from the previous RUclips era of just “grab a camera and start filming” and we’re now seeing channels working towards quality instead of quantity! It’s awesome honestly.
Here’s a piece of lost media I’ve been looking for: When I was younger, I was watching the duck song when a video popped up in my recommended called “the duck song 4.” There was never a duck song 4, but I was too young to know this. So I clicked it. It started as a normal duck song episode, until the duck walked out into a road. The lemonade guy and the corner store lady were in a car, and kept running over the duck. The duck was all covered in blood at the end. The video scared me a lot. If anyone can find this, thanks.
I remember seeing a creepypasta by Slimebeast about it. I think it was called “Mario Nights” and it was about how Mario was a bad person and it game true game evidence to back it up. Eventually at the end they give Mario Nights as proof.
I've never heard of this hoax either, but seeing the "box art," I don't see how anyone could have fallen for something as insanely fake and lazy. Among other things, the model of Mario is very much an anachronism. They wouldn't have used a CGI model years before Mario 64, especially one that polished. It would have been an illustrated cover at the time, if anything. Even if I am to believe it's a mock up, it's a LAZY mock up that looks completely unofficial, badly done, and they couldn't even get a more dynamic, Super Mario-esque font. If you want to fool your audience, put in the damn effort. Get some early 90's era Mario illustrations. Even Bootlegs manage to do that much. Secondly, sure we had the Nintendo leak a while back where we found out about unannounced, alternative versions of games, but I doubt a game like that from the supposed SNES era would have gone unnoticed for that long. I mean, how long has it been since we knew about "Mario's Wacky Worlds?" Over 20 years? It would have been internet legend since the 90's. Lastly. Mario Nights? Really? I'd imagine it would have a more whimsical title, rather than something invoking the worse Baywatch show. That's like if they called Luigi's Mansion "Luigi and Ghosts." Mario's Miserable Night. Super Mario's Mystical Nighttime Adventures. Super Mario in The Dark Realm. All viable options.
A hoax, regardless of who's perpetuating it, NEEDS to have some viable angle to make it believable. The "Go for a Punch" hoax works on the principle of weird Japanese fetish thing and actual anime with disturbing content or creepy animation. It sounds like a perverted hentai, most likely a doujinshi animation. It didn't exist, but it sounds like it could have. This Mario thing just wouldn't add up. Nintendo being hyper-protective of their properties and their characters' squeaky clean images would NEVER at the time do anything creepy with the characters that wasn't wildly cartoonish at the time.
@@mightyfilm I’m assuming people thought it was real from the creepypasta I mentioned earlier (since it does talk about all real Mario games and then the infamous Mario Nights itself). Then it spread to people who hadn’t heard it. For a creepypasta image, it’s quite good. For an image that’s supposed to be real... not so much. If I find the original thing I’ll link it to you. Okay I found it while typing, if you just search up Mario Nights you’ll find it after you scroll down a bit. Also, you can find the image in the comment section, which basically proves it was a case of some guy believing too much. The story is called “Mario is a Monster”, btw.
I firmly believe that the legend of Polybius was formed from Tempest, certainly in one part, and Gradius in another.

Also influential could be a series of tragic incidents (a heart attack and a murder) that have been documented around that smiley-face maze game, Berserk.

Here’s an obscure one for you. As a kid, I remember watching an educational show about an alien crash landing in Wales. The alien befriended some children and they learned together. The alien’s ship was also a character - it could talk, had translucent eyes on its top that glowed when it spoke. I remember in one episode it rose up out of the sea and scared someone. The alien itself was very lumpy and brown, with a wierd face. Anyone remember what it was called?
not to sound rude, but people really thought Mario Nights was real to the point of contacting Nintendo about it?? man, now i don't feel bad about falling for fake pokegod hoaxes when i was younger
Honestly the description of Saki Sanobashi sounds like somebody tried watching anime while sick, feverish, and nodding in and out, and their mind was forced to fill in the gaps. The human mind is a STRANGE PLACE.

Can someone help me out with this... When i was in elementary school in the early 2000s (before 2007) we used to have a health teacher that would come into our class. Some days we'd learn about the body ( basic and light stuff you'd teach elementary schoolers: where to identify the heart on a very minimal diagram, coloring organs and whatnot; and other days we'd just watch Gumby on a vhs he'd bring to class. This one day though, he brought a vhs that i only faintly remember. It had to do with loss, the death of a child. It was an animated short film where a group of children were hanging out and literally the last thing/only thing i can really remember was that the protagonist child is approached by his mother and she sits him down to talk about his friend (a girl with a blue dress) who had passed away the day prior and it flashbacks to the friends all being together and the girl when she was alive. The mother tells him that unfortunate things like that happens and thats really all i can remember. The movie was light and i believe it took the matter sensitively as it must have been made for children our age for educational purposes. At the time i think i didnt know it was a film about a kid's friend who had passed away, but in the last few years i have thought about this film and have search around to no success finding it. Let me know if u guys have any idea of what this film could have been.
I’m really good at this type of stuff, Just give me some of the title you can remember that I can start out with and I’ll start digging there, I suggest you reach out to some people that can help you to because I think it will help you a lot in your case. I would love to help you with this
@@fionagilman. i was a child and i literally have no idea of what words were in the title😭😭😭😭😭😭 I wish i could be of more help, i was gonna try Reddit since I'm sure there's a subreddit for lost media but even then with my lack of details, I'm pretty sure it'll still be tuff to find

I know someone else was talking about an anime that had a soundtrack but the movie never released. On you PC issue, keep a thumb drive formatted with the Windows 10 installer, really useful for recovery. It's also useful to keep user files on a separate drive.

There's an old PC game that I used to watch my brother play that I've been hoping to find. We had it in the early 2000's (around 2006-2007) on our computer. It didn't need a disk to play (not sure how we got it, might have been an old website). Anyway, the graphics where low-quality, but the game was 3D modeled. It had an almost top-down view (It was at an angle) and the game I believe was set on basically a flat place kind of like a game board with paths you could travel on. The only levels I saw him play were set outside. I believe the character you play as was green. I know they weren't a human. I don't remember the look of the enemies, but my brother remembers red and blue ones, and I believe yellow ones existed as well. From what he told me, he remembers some of them wielding giant forks as weapons. I remember that there were these colored "spheres" (a bit blocky because of the limited graphics at the time) that you had to collect and I'm pretty sure they were used to defeat the enemies in a color-coordinated way. They could be on the "course" individually or as a group/cluster of several of them. I know there were power ups, one of which was a pocket watch that stopped time for a moment and another was a cloak and/or top hat which I think made you invisible to the enemies for a bit. It had a simple name, but I don't remember what it was. Someone once suggested it might be Croc, but when I looked it up it wasn't it. This game isn't a platformer.

If Polyibus did exist and the Government was responsible, convincing everyone that it was some crazy urban legend, would be a good way to cover their tracks.
I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy your content. Would you ever make a video about the Fatal Frame franchise? It's one of my favorites and I think you would have a lot of interesting things to say about it. Only two games came to America in a dubbed format and the other games are without subtitles as well, but the rumors as to why and the background of each game is really interesting. Either way, I am excited to see your channel grow!
Not sure why Loesch and others would say Aliens wasn't ripe for a cartoon to go with the toy line just because the movies were violent. Rambo, Robocop & even Toxie of Troma fame among other adult based movies got kid focused merch/cartoon campaigns in the 80s/90s.
Great list! Like the atmosphere & BGM, & your voice is really chill, which helps with that. (Though I do worry that maybe you're speaking this way because you're unhappy. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings.) Anyway, thanks for uploading!
FEW THINGS ABOUT THE LOST FNAF TRAILER, so you see that wallmeat said that he "mistook the trailer" he did but he also said on fnaf 1 video and on some guys video about the lost trailer that the trailer was the same as the regular one, but bonnie had normal eyes, in the segment where he pulled his mask, so it does exist, done
Mario Nights origins can trace back to a Super Mario Bro Creepypasta story called “Mario is a monster” were a hater wants proof for its anti-fan theory that he’s evil and bad attempt of a villain protagonist. So, when he booted up the fictional “final” game of the franchise. The scariness begins.
So thing with Special Ed: a lot of people think that it was going to tackle things like special needs and learning disabilities. What a lot of people forget that the titles of Ed, Edd, and Eddie episodes are tend to only be tangentially related to the actual topic of the episode. Like what's "Tag Yer Ed" about? A game of tag? No it's about a wrestling match. And the "it's too real" line from the creator probably doesn't mean what people think it does. He's not referring to the heavy subject matter, but rather how mundane and boring the idea for the episode was. There was an interview a few year back where he was complaining about how now a days it seems like cartoons don't do anything super wacky or expressive, choosing to be more like a sitcom and not fully embracing the medium. Like does Steven Universe *need* to be a cartoon? No.
Not to nitpick, but Steven Universe is a wacky Sci-fi fantasy show with different color aliens, robots, space, etc. Very difficult to make that look any good in live-action. Were you thinking of the more mundane slice of life show Clarence?
@@kirby-rh5js Nope Steven Universe counts. Some CGI and/or makeup can make it a live action show. And that doesn't change the fact that the show is basically "People Talk About Their Feelings: The 'Cartoon'." But yeah, Clearance doesn't need to be a cartoon.
@@alexanderchippel You do realize the CGI needed to make the show look anywhere near decent would be ridiculously expensive and incredibly hard to create, right?
@@kirby-rh5js That doesn't stop the CW. But again, with minimal changes it can be reworked to be live action. Because the main point of the show is just to talk about feelings and shit. It's not about the visuals or animation. if it was they would probably have a better animation budget, because Steven Universe looks like shit
If people put in half as much effort into finding serial killers as they do finding out about a day with SpongeBob the world would be a very different experience place
@@the-NightStar There are people who still believe it's real, and will tear apart and come after anyone who says otherwise. That's what I meant with saying it was brave.
I have a few lost media. One is about a Minecraft short when Minecraft was a brand new game. A part I remember is the charcter talking about building his house and then dancing before seeing creeper. In a high pitched, fast pasted voice he says "they lied to me, they said they only come out at night. Oh gosh there's more coming!" He then takes them all out with a Lazer? And says "whoo, back to my housey house" It sounds strange I know but considering the time period, yeah, makes sense.
Polybius did exist sort of. The game all the videos show is the sequel to a game called Sinister. It wasn't supposed to have been released but units had shipped to Aladdin's Castle arcades. I'd really like to say it didn't get released for some spooky reason, but it was a legal one.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought 'Five Nights' was just a video of gameplay from a slightly earlier version of FNaF 1. That, or maybe it just got renamed to something more proper before it was uploaded.
How do I know if a piece of media is lost? In my mom's previous home, a rotting husk of a mobile home, there is a cache of VHS tapes containing recorded television. Should I venture to recover them?

The lost FNAF trailer does exist I think or at least another video on the game made by Scott. By looking at the first comment on the fnaf trailer, someone says, “This looks improved from the last video.”
That's literally what's in this video
5:52, theres even a reference to it in an episode of The Goldbergs, a sitcom that takes place in the 80s. got real excited when i saw it a few years back
I was shocked seeing that reference in a mainstream TV show, I was laughing my ass off in total surprise
@@Rexdrinksredbull i was rewinding it over and over like “look mom!!! it’s polybius!!” and she’s just shaking her head like “okay i have no clue what that is”
@@Rexdrinksredbull You'll be even more shocked tomorrow then because it shows up in tomorrow's episode of Loki (and it was also seen in the trailer).
Here’s an obscure one for you. As a kid, I remember watching an educational show about an alien crash landing in Wales. The alien befriended some children and they learned together. The alien’s ship was also a character - it could talk, had translucent eyes on its top that glowed when it spoke. I remember in one episode it rose up out of the sea and scared someone. The alien itself was very lumpy and brown, with a wierd face. Anyone remember what it was called?
Look up alien teaches stranger danger on youtube
@@tawnyboy5955 i found it in the end, it’s a BBC production called ‘EARTHWARP!’
not to sound rude, but people really thought Mario Nights was real to the point of contacting Nintendo about it?? man, now i don't feel bad about falling for fake pokegod hoaxes when i was younger
Glad I'm not the only one who thought it was obvious
Even as a kid I would have noticed this, the artstyle just doesn't fit with the SNES era one
*_WHEEZE_*
This man is playing youtube like it's a game. Holy shit keep doing it dawg! We legit love ur shit dude
Honestly the description of Saki Sanobashi sounds like somebody tried watching anime while sick, feverish, and nodding in and out, and their mind was forced to fill in the gaps. The human mind is a STRANGE PLACE.
you and blameitonjorge should have a collab someday, this channel is great.
U should get more subs!
That Mario Nights cover just looks like CDi Ganon eating Mario LMFAO
vore
This channel is amazing, I can’t believe it hasn’t blowed up yet the quality is great and the content is really well researched, you’ll definitely achieve a great following soon ❤️
Wasn't "Five Nights" a gameplay trailer?
Dude I understand that you put probably weeks into editing your videos, but god I wish you uploaded more. Hope to see more soon.
thanks for talking about croc 3 because i just remembered that i made an account that made "updates" about the status of croc 3 lol
Paccie: the only game to be named after a racial slur
If anyone wondering, The slur is against Pakistani People in the UK
@@j.j.hector735 whoa really? It was a childhood nickname, we had no idea
@@j.j.hector735 damn
@@j.j.hector735 That's the dumbest slur I ever heard
@@j.j.hector735 Thast xenophobia, not racism
Dude your videos are amazing, keep up the good work I’m always excited for a new video
I always suspected that "Paccie" was fake considering the name of the game is a racial slur. There's no way any publisher would just let that slide.
They did not make a single game not including copyright infringement so I think a racial slur would be the least of their concern
I mean
Phoenix games did release a game called Snow White and the 7 lovely boys where one of these "lovely boys" was just straight up fucking blackface so
Take that as you will
@@Hulderkall it was Snow White and the 7 Clever Boys. I only know about it because of JonTron but it's still weird that it exists in the first place
@@TheCrystallizedVoid The character of Snow White is public domain. The Seven Dwarfs are owned by Disney
@@MrCollyT I know. I also know a lot of the princesses Disney has used come from the book of Grimm fairytales. I don't understand why you feel the need to tell me this. I was just correcting someone on the title of a bootleg game

At midnight:10 PIECES OF LOST MEDIA THAT DONT ACTUALLY EXIST
Saki probably doesn't exist but I can only hope it does. I love that late 80s/early 90s gory anime stuff

Can someone help me out with this...
When i was in elementary school in the early 2000s (before 2007) we used to have a health teacher that would come into our class. Some days we'd learn about the body ( basic and light stuff you'd teach elementary schoolers: where to identify the heart on a very minimal diagram, coloring organs and whatnot; and other days we'd just watch Gumby on a vhs he'd bring to class. This one day though, he brought a vhs that i only faintly remember. It had to do with loss, the death of a child. It was an animated short film where a group of children were hanging out and literally the last thing/only thing i can really remember was that the protagonist child is approached by his mother and she sits him down to talk about his friend (a girl with a blue dress) who had passed away the day prior and it flashbacks to the friends all being together and the girl when she was alive. The mother tells him that unfortunate things like that happens and thats really all i can remember. The movie was light and i believe it took the matter sensitively as it must have been made for children our age for educational purposes. At the time i think i didnt know it was a film about a kid's friend who had passed away, but in the last few years i have thought about this film and have search around to no success finding it.
Let me know if u guys have any idea of what this film could have been.
it might be an animated version of Bridge to Terabithia
@@xollefi7418 maybe but i dont remember elements of TBTT in the animated film. There was no forest or drowning......... I think
I’m really good at this type of stuff, Just give me some of the title you can remember that I can start out with and I’ll start digging there, I suggest you reach out to some people that can help you to because I think it will help you a lot in your case. I would love to help you with this
@@fionagilman. i was a child and i literally have no idea of what words were in the title😭😭😭😭😭😭
I wish i could be of more help, i was gonna try Reddit since I'm sure there's a subreddit for lost media but even then with my lack of details, I'm pretty sure it'll still be tuff to find
If this is of any kind of help (which i highly doubt😭)
It was a movie shown by our health teacher Mr. Jones at my elementary school Shields Elementary school in Chicago💀💀💀💀💀😭✌
I think with Saki, I wouldn't be surprised if it was real. But I also don't know at all. Though knowing 4chan and reddit, I kind of doubt that the person saying they were the original poster was the op.
Saki Sanobashi has always been so interesting, even when I found out it was fake. I’m still a bit upset that it did not exist, but it rlly is interesting!
The AVGN Polybius video is incredibly entertaining.
Yes
So happy to see your channel grow! Good video, I like the way you talk.
I know someone else was talking about an anime that had a soundtrack but the movie never released.
On you PC issue, keep a thumb drive formatted with the Windows 10 installer, really useful for recovery. It's also useful to keep user files on a separate drive. I use favorite folder redirects, but I heard it's no longer "officially" supported.
There's an old PC game that I used to watch my brother play that I've been hoping to find.
We had it in the early 2000's (around 2006-2007) on our computer. It didn't need a disk to play (not sure how we got it, might have been an old website). Anyway, the graphics where low-quality, but the game was 3D modeled. It had an almost top-down view (It was at an angle) and the game I believe was set on basically a flat place kind of like a game board with paths you could travel on. The only levels I saw him play were set outside. I believe the character you play as was green. I know they weren't a human. I don't remember the look of the enemies, but my brother remembers red and blue ones, and I believe yellow ones existed as well. From what he told me, he remembers some of them wielding giant forks as weapons. I remember that there were these colored "spheres" (a bit blocky because of the limited graphics at the time) that you had to collect and I'm pretty sure they were used to defeat the enemies in a color-coordinated way. They could be on the "course" individually or as a group/cluster of several of them. I know there were power ups, one of which was a pocket watch that stopped time for a moment and another was a cloak and/or top hat which I think made you invisible to the enemies for a bit. It had a simple name, but I don't remember what it was. Someone once suggested it might be Croc, but when I looked it up it wasn't it. This game isn't a platformer.
You should copy and paste this in a post at r/tipofmytongue or related forums that can help find something you can't remember. This comment is likely to get lost
That sounds a lot like Paccie. Even down to the green character. Yeah, It's probably paccie.
@@Gatorade69 Looked it up. It's not.
@@supersmilyface1 Lol. I was just messing with you. Paccie is even listed in this video. It doesn't exist.
@@Gatorade69 Ha ha, nice. XD
Great video man. Saki has been a ride to be a part of and I genuinely hope one day people will understand what was went through in order to find it.
Hey! Glad your back. Great video as always. Keep up the great work man.
DUDE THANK YOU! I was literally looking everywhere for somebody to talk about mario nights! Subbed
Saki Sanobashi technically exists now because of that canceled remake project
so there was a remake project and it has already been cancelled?
YOUR RIIIGGHHHHTTT
True true. I was so disappointed it got cancelled
@@soko4710 yes
@@lamebright wow, Whang must have hated that.
I really love these types of channels and this channel is especially really awesome! I hope you keep making more content.
A few lost anime movies may be made by the same studio who made "Dôwa meita senshi Windaria" as it is quite similar to some.
Could also be an undiscovered Nora movie

Romans 6.23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I wonder how disappointed you've been if you were trying to find one of these lost media and find out is fake
Great work on this video! Time to add the original Evil Farming Game to this list
Ooooh you're going to piss some people off by saying that saki sanobashi doesn't exist. hahaha
Mario nights really just looks like someone put the old Ganon onto a Mario cartridge
If Polyibus did exist and the Government was responsible, convincing everyone that it was some crazy urban legend, would be a good way to cover their tracks.
Gaslighting huh
I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy your content. Would you ever make a video about the Fatal Frame franchise? It's one of my favorites and I think you would have a lot of interesting things to say about it. Only two games came to America in a dubbed format and the other games are without subtitles as well, but the rumors as to why and the background of each game is really interesting. Either way, I am excited to see your channel grow!
You just earned a new sub! Seriously,how haven't more people found this channel?
Not sure why Loesch and others would say Aliens wasn't ripe for a cartoon to go with the toy line just because the movies were violent. Rambo, Robocop & even Toxie of Troma fame among other adult based movies got kid focused merch/cartoon campaigns in the 80s/90s.
You should eventually do Top 10 Lost or Missing Episodes of TV Game Shows. I think that would make a great video
Great list! Like the atmosphere & BGM, & your voice is really chill, which helps with that. (Though I do worry that maybe you're speaking this way because you're unhappy. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings.)
Anyway, thanks for uploading!
The video quality on these is incredibly good. Get the narration to be less messy and this would be like 10/10 content
FEW THINGS ABOUT THE LOST FNAF TRAILER, so you see that wallmeat said that he "mistook the trailer" he did but he also said on fnaf 1 video and on some guys video about the lost trailer that the trailer was the same as the regular one, but bonnie had normal eyes, in the segment where he pulled his mask, so it does exist, done
The hilarious part about the Phoenix Games one is that they legit stole a screenshot from Kingdom Hearts for the background of the Peter Pan box art.
*Someone call a lawyer*
*I SMELL A LAWSUIT*
Oh uh.. more lawsuits
I'm so curious as to what this game being used in the transitions, that was often used for footage as "polybius", really is.
Same
Probably just a mockup, iirc there's been a few made over the years.
That's definitely plausible.
I believe it’s a fan made visualization of Polybius. I think you can download it yourself but I’m not 100% sure
Someone took the description and actually made a game out of it.
Such an amazing video! Can’t wait for more
Dimension 404 had a full episode based around polybious . And tbh the aliens cartoon is tripping me out cause I could swear there was one .
Mario Nights origins can trace back to a Super Mario Bro Creepypasta story called “Mario is a monster” were a hater wants proof for its anti-fan theory that he’s evil and bad attempt of a villain protagonist. So, when he booted up the fictional “final” game of the franchise. The scariness begins.
The Evil Farming Game wants to know your location
So thing with Special Ed: a lot of people think that it was going to tackle things like special needs and learning disabilities. What a lot of people forget that the titles of Ed, Edd, and Eddie episodes are tend to only be tangentially related to the actual topic of the episode. Like what's "Tag Yer Ed" about? A game of tag? No it's about a wrestling match.
And the "it's too real" line from the creator probably doesn't mean what people think it does. He's not referring to the heavy subject matter, but rather how mundane and boring the idea for the episode was. There was an interview a few year back where he was complaining about how now a days it seems like cartoons don't do anything super wacky or expressive, choosing to be more like a sitcom and not fully embracing the medium. Like does Steven Universe *need* to be a cartoon? No.
Not to nitpick, but Steven Universe is a wacky Sci-fi fantasy show with different color aliens, robots, space, etc. Very difficult to make that look any good in live-action. Were you thinking of the more mundane slice of life show Clarence?
@@kirby-rh5js Nope Steven Universe counts. Some CGI and/or makeup can make it a live action show. And that doesn't change the fact that the show is basically "People Talk About Their Feelings: The 'Cartoon'."
But yeah, Clearance doesn't need to be a cartoon.
@@alexanderchippel You do realize the CGI needed to make the show look anywhere near decent would be ridiculously expensive and incredibly hard to create, right?
@@kirby-rh5js That doesn't stop the CW. But again, with minimal changes it can be reworked to be live action. Because the main point of the show is just to talk about feelings and shit. It's not about the visuals or animation. if it was they would probably have a better animation budget, because Steven Universe looks like shit
@@alexanderchippel steven universe has gorgeous background art, live action couldnt replicate that.
"Paccie" definitely wouldn't be able to be a game with that name, in the UK its a well known and offensive racial slur.
If people put in half as much effort into finding serial killers as they do finding out about a day with SpongeBob the world would be a very different experience place
I'm glad I subscribed, its always good to see more lost media content.
You're a brave man putting go for a punch on here.
Not really. It is absolutely fake. I don't know why A Day With Spongebob Squarepants isn't on here either, though. Because that one is 100% fake, too.
@@the-NightStar There are people who still believe it's real, and will tear apart and come after anyone who says otherwise. That's what I meant with saying it was brave.
@@the-NightStar A Day with Spongebob is on this list 10:47
So Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly never really started off as Croc 3, huh?
I have a few lost media.
One is about a Minecraft short when Minecraft was a brand new game. A part I remember is the charcter talking about building his house and then dancing before seeing creeper. In a high pitched, fast pasted voice he says "they lied to me, they said they only come out at night. Oh gosh there's more coming!" He then takes them all out with a Lazer? And says "whoo, back to my housey house"
It sounds strange I know but considering the time period, yeah, makes sense.
5:06 I thought that was going to be the among us role reveal sound

Sees Saki Sanobashi
"You better mention our boy Whang >:U"
Awwww yeaaaa
I feel like this is like the new Blameitonjore channel i Miss his top ten videos but I feel like this channel made top 10 more better!
Polybius did exist sort of. The game all the videos show is the sequel to a game called Sinister. It wasn't supposed to have been released but units had shipped to Aladdin's Castle arcades. I'd really like to say it didn't get released for some spooky reason, but it was a legal one.
your vids remind me of some of the original blameitonjorge lost media videos keep up the good work
Can you drop the names of the background songs you've used in your videos?
That endoskeleton looks creepy as heck.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought 'Five Nights' was just a video of gameplay from a slightly earlier version of FNaF 1. That, or maybe it just got renamed to something more proper before it was uploaded.
How do I know if a piece of media is lost? In my mom's previous home, a rotting husk of a mobile home, there is a cache of VHS tapes containing recorded television. Should I venture to recover them?
Yeah
Yeah. That'd be interesting
yes
Love your videos, keep going!
How does this channel not have more uploads
I get major blameitonjorge vibes from your voice, editing and thumbnails. I love it! Keep it up bro.
Nice video man, actually had to put it down because I was so into it i kept walking into things while cleaning my kitchen
Keep it up!
There is a lot of similarities to blameitonjorge with this video. I like it!
Polybius was also featured in Loki's second to last episode of the first season.
I was really surprised that Nintendo responded to that guy! Kinda cool imo
Great video, sorry to hear about your deleted video. Keep up the good work 👍
Those alien toys from the 90s were awesome back in the day! High quality stuff
istg every time i heard that trombone sound effect i thought it was among us EVERY TIME
So... The algorithm can show you great content? ...i thought it was a myth
oh yeah you definitely deserve a sub😤
Kinda wish the Mario Nights one was real cause that’s a neat box art, and lost or obscure Nintendo games are always neat in some way
14:08 damn! this guy gets an answer from nintendo about a mid 90s game. nintendo of europe can't even answer questions about stuff from literally the last decade! :D
The guys covering lost media has now created lost media
Great video! I do wish you could a few citations in the description so i could look into it myself. But other than that it was fantastic :)
You're gonna be huge bro I can see it
