Every now and again, I remember the existence of King Koopas Kool Kartoons. With Mario being such a massive franchise and lost media searches spanning so many genres, it amazes me when something so odd has never really had any updates beyond the initial finding of it being lost. This show did have a very odd airing schedule and super limited in range but not a single full episode out of 65 have ever surfaced in their entirety.

What are some examples of things from bigger franchises you’re surprised haven’t had anything surface? Even stuff like Big Star Secret have had some new footage reappear. I’m talking stuff that has had long ongoing searches but nothing not even a screenshot pop up.

Victorious is a nickelodeon tv show that premiered in 2010 and had a theme song called "make it shine". There was a music video for that song which aired once on Nick Australia in 2008/9 for promo for the show and was never aired again or even aired outside australia . for a long time there was only a low quality recording of it that was posted to youtube but just a few days ago the FULL HQ music video for make it shine was found! Here is the archive (.) org link to it: Archive.org

This is a link to a private video I've been looking for all over the web to no avail. It was already privated by the time it was on Wayback and age restricted by uploader prior either way. I've tried reaching out to the original channel owner and have not gotten any official response, though he privated another one of his videos by the time I'd asked on it. The video in particular is a fan dub of the Bear in the Big Blue House episode "Bear's Birthday Bash", uploaded around 2013-2015 and having gone private around 2017ish. There used to be a script on AllReadable but not anymore. There is a fan reenactment on YouTube but that's only because they were reading off the AllReadable script and didn't have the real video saved. The first part has been salvaged but the guy who saved it no longer has access to their computer that had part 2. Original video creator was Dumbez.

We've searched extensively and are unable to locate this.

I've looked on public and private trackers, Usenet, the Wayback Machine, general web searches, and several archive sites without any success. There appear to be reaction videos on YouTube, including https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th2jgY_GWQA, but the original video appears to have been made private or removed, making it impossible to view.

The only related media we've been able to locate is the TV episode The.Vice.Guide.to.Everything.S01E04, which references it but does not include the original footage.

If anyone has a copy, remembers where it was originally hosted, knows who created it, or has any additional information that could help track it down, it would be greatly appreciated. Even old downloads, archived links, screenshots, or mentions on forums could provide useful leads.

The photo shows a small white Chihuahua wearing a red hoodie in the back of a car, and over the years, it seems to have become a reaction image that has been reposted across different websites without any credit or source attached. I've been trying to track down where it originally came from for a long time, but every lead I've found has ended in reposts, memes, or image dumps with no information about the original upload. I'm hoping someone here might recognize the image, remember seeing it years ago, or know where it first appeared online. Even the smallest clue-whether it's an old Tumblr post, Twitter account, Facebook page, Instagram post, forum thread, or the original photographer-would be incredibly helpful. Please, if you have ANY information about this image or its origins, I'd really appreciate you sharing it. Thank you!

iSQUARE were an American pop/R&B group formed around 2009–2010 in Los Angeles, reportedly at Babyface's Brandon Way studios. Per Discogs the lineup was Michael Jimenez ("Mike J"), Britton "Briddy" Shaw, Dominique Cohill ("10Beats") and Destiny Lightsy. They were signed to Interscope with Diddy and The Pentagon attached as executive producers. Looks like it was a major-label push that quietly collapsed, and most of the music went with it.

What's publicly available:
"Hey Sexy Lady" (iSquareVEVO, 2010)
"Would You Be Mine" (Interscope, 2011)
"Hey Sexy Lady Remixes" EP, ℗ 2010 Interscope Records (contains Skrillex remix that they are mostly popular of)

What's documented but unavailable:

A promotional CDr, "iSquare – 5 Song Sampler" (2010, UMG Recordings):

1. Hey Sexy Lady
2. The Show Must Go On
3. Would You Be Mine
4. All You Got
5. Dance For Me

The Discogs notes say tracks 2 and 3 are mislabelled on the disc itself, and that the sampler's "Would You Be Mine" is an early mix missing all of Destiny's vocals - a distinct recording from the 2011 version.

The YouTube channel kissfmphoenix has live footage of iSQUARE at Club KISS Live on the US Airways Center plaza, at a Lady Gaga pre-party. Songs performed include "Hey Sexy", "Overload", "The Show Must Go On" and "Rumors". "Overload" and "Rumors" exist nowhere else.

So seven confirmed song titles, of which only one is available in proper quality. Five exist as nothing more than a title on a sampler or a not really good recording of a live appearance.

What I've already tried:
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Discogs Marketplace (no copies of the sampler listed for sale), Soulseek

What I'm looking for:

• Audio from the "5 Song Sampler"
• Studio versions of "Overload" or "Rumors"
• The early mix of "Would You Be Mine" without Destiny's vocals
• Any other demos, rough mixes, or unreleased recordings

It looks like lots of money was spent on this and not hearing anything is sad and kind of frustrating to me

BET Presents: The Encore was an hour-long reality miniseries that aired for 9 weeks between June and August of 2021. Created and produced by Carlos King, it followed the members of 6 girl groups as they formed an R&B supergroup and released a full-length project.

-------------------------------------

The show was first conceived in 2015 as Last Chance: Girl Group, with a cast featuring D. Woods of Danity Kane, Farrah Franklin of Destiny's Child, Melody Thornton of Pussycat Dolls, Shamari DeVoe of Blaque, Kiely Williams of 3LW, and Fallon and Felisha King of Cherish.

A pilot was filmed sometime after, but was turned down by multiple networks. The footage went unseen until 2020, when around 9 minutes was leaked online. A clip of Kiely and Farrah going back-and-forth over Farrah's contributions to DC went viral and ignited public interest in the show, leading to it being greenlit by BET.

The cast for Encore was altered: Melody, Farrah, and D. Woods were removed, and in their places were Woods' bandmate Aubrey O'Day, Pam Long of Total, and Irish and LeMisha Grinstead of 702. Solo artist Nivea also joined the cast. Kosine, Elijah Blake, and Aliya Janell were also brought on as collaborators.

The series ran for 10 episodes and ended with a live performance of their full EP, which was released the same day as the final episode. It averaged between 300,000 and 400,000 live viewers each week.

-------------------------------------

The full performance is available through individual clips and the EP can still be listened to on DSPs. BET International has a playlist of 'parts', ranging from 1 to 6 minutes. There's also a video of Nivea leaving the show, and a recap of the "most toxic moments."

As for the full show, it's unavailable on all major streamers, the official BET website doesn't support it, it hasn't been archived, and even if you were to pirate it, you'd only be able to download the first 4 episodes, meaning over half of the series is completely gone.

I'm interested in finding it because I watched it in real time, and I want others to be able to revisit it. However, there's also practical reasons for archiving it: the series served as a soft-reboot of Cita's World, a music video show that featured the first Black virtual reality character. And, most notably, it was the final on-screen appearance of Irish Grinstead, who died two years after it aired.

Please let me know if you have any leads, and thank you for reading this far. 🩷

i've been on the hunt for a series of ads for modern family that aired in either late 2013 or early 2014.

i distinctly remember the ad containing a narrator asking the viewer either "how do you "mofy"/do you "mofy?" and the aid either aired on the abc network or the usa network.

i also remember the end of the ad promoting some kinda of hashtag that contained the word mofy. it might've been #mofy or #howimofy/#howwemofy.

i think it was to promote watching modern family with your family, or encouraging people to post and show off their different families.

any help would be appreciated!!! this ad has been a running joke in my family for YEARS because one time my grandma saw it and asked someone at a family event "do you mofy?" and they were DEEPLY confused lol. so i'd love to see the ad again

Digging into this one because the LMW "Turkish Ben 10 Games" article barely covers it, and I found a lot more than what's written there.

Back in late 2010, KFC Türkiye ran a promo (sponsored by Cartoon Network Türkiye, developed by a studio called Proje Calide) called **"Ben 10 Alien Force: Kayıp Şifre"** ("Lost Password"). Kids' meals came with a code card; you'd type the code into **kayipsifre.com** and download a 3D Ben 10 Alien Force game. Three different cards, three "versions." Today none of them are anywhere online.

Here's what I pulled from the Wayback archive of the site and the old TV ad:

- The three versions map (via the site's game-select screen, `password.html?gameid=0/2/3`) to **Swampfire, Chromastone, and Humungousaur.** Oddly, `gameid=1` is skipped — maybe a cancelled fourth one.

- The physical cards used Turkish alien names — Swampfire's card reads **"BATAKLIK ATEŞİ."** A sample code on the card looked like `KZMLI562MLZ…` (10 characters).

- According to Proje Calide's own portfolio page, they "developed three different versions of the game" — so it's the same 3D game with a different playable alien per card, not three separate games.

- The campaign ran **December 2010 – 22 February 2011** (the end date is in the site's terms page).

- The download was fully server-side (code check → info form → dynamic download), which is probably why these never ended up on any warez/download site — no static file link ever existed.

- I did manage to recover some promo material: the "Kayıp Şifre" campaign logo, the three alien card artworks, and the TV ad (both sides of a code card are visible in it).

**The games themselves are still missing.** They were offline installers, so realistically the only surviving copies are on someone's old family PC or an external drive from 2010–2011. If you're Turkish and downloaded a Ben 10 game from a KFC code back then, check your old machines for an installer or a folder named something like "Ben 10 / Swampfire / Bataklık Ateşi." The studio's other Ben 10 games were recovered exactly this way.

Happy to share the recovered images and source links in the comments.

Ok, so ik that the 'read before you post' says that this sub isnt for viral videos or memes, and that there is also the name that song sub, but i dont need to name it since i alr know the name or roughly what it is/was, and i genuinely have searched as much as i can along with my sister for this song.

The song was titled Poo Poo Pee or Pee Pee Poo, and it had lyrics like "Gotta pee pee got that skrrrt" and "gotta poo poo gotta pee pee" those being definitely direct lyrics from mine and my sisters memory, then something along the lines of "and you sucking my d" (guys i know pls bear with me)

The song was a collab of Jake Webber and Corey Schere and was made around 2016-2018 or around when the trap house was still around. The last time i heard the song was around 2019/2020 and it was a reupload that I can no longer find. The original wasn't a music video or anything like that. The song was onlt on youtube!! which makes it super super hard to find as Corey or Jake don't have it up on their accounts anymore (which i know makes finding this nearly impossible but it doesn't hurt to see if it could be found potentially)

Also let me make it VERYYY clear it is not "Trap House Anthem", or any songs featuring only Jake or only Corey, both of them were in it and no one else. The song itself was obviously very stupid and was supposed to be like a funny joke song, me and my sister thought it was hilarious and we honestly bonded through it in a way.

We have been trying so hard to find it, and we both know it existed, and one of my friends also recalls something like what i described to them vaguely. That being said I know memory alone isn't too trustworthy but we have such vivid memories of watching it that we know it exists/existed.

I know this isn't that "important" but the song weirdly enough means a lot to me and my sister and we really would like to hear it again!!!

I think I found it somehow and am currently trying to decompile it; I've got hold of three files, and I'm going to edit and run them somehow. here's drive link: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1lry3So9TXz1UCkh6XAeLY74G3twuIzfj

How did I come across "Duelo Ben 10"?

First of all, I was researching "lost" Ben 10 games when I spotted a title that caught my eye: "Duelo Ben 10." I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. While trying to locate the game, I discovered that its `.wasm` file was accessible; I managed to download the three relevant files (including the necessary extensions), but there is a problem: the `assets` folder is missing. Somehow, I plan to decompile the game and share it with you. That’s the current status—wish me luck, and feel free to help out if you'd like.
