I'm looking for a campy parody of an already cheesy workplace safety video (no-click if fake '80s knife wound effects aren't kosher) : Surviving Edged Weapons

The joke one is much shorter, better film quality but amateur work, and it's a handful of (iirc) US soldiers using some free time to demonstrate the "dangers" of everyday life with absurd concealed weapon encounters. The skits were filmed in some military supply building or garage, from the looks of it. A couple of examples were making sure to emphasize the "Popular with prostitutes" line about one item, and having someone act as a belligerent hobo for one segment. They couldn't keep straight composure throughout, but it was still pretty funny in a deliberately bad way. It was on youtube, but I haven't seen it in a couple of years and can't find it now.

A few years ago there was a thread dedicated to mocking a terrible animation studio. They basically did bargain basement versions of Disney movies, such as a 101 Dalmatians rip-off and a version of that rat movie. I think they may have been CD-Roms. They featured terrible lip-syncing, missing sound effects, and nonsensical plots where dogs were sent to jail and forced to work in stamp licking factories. My YouTube searches only bring up the proper Disney versions. Help me goons, I wish to mock these animations again.

Was it related to Animal Soccer World, a terrible PS2 "game" that had characters ripped from Disney?

There's a German company called Dingo Pictures, known on SA for poorly animated Disney knockoffs like Aladdin.

This is from their knockoff of The Land Before Time

There's also a Brazilian company Vídeo Brinquedo that makes low budget CGI ripoffs.

I can't find this great old video from about 5-8 years back that had a really rough/new comedian that was at an open mic. He was saying something that offended what was likely another comedian in the crowd, and the comedian started roid raging, flexing his muscles, and doing pushups (maybe?) to show what a tough guy he was. Total great meltdown.

Years ago, a friend of mine linked me to a youtube video of a garage band covering I Wanna Be Your Dog in a room that had a mural of Bob Marley on the wall. Bob was painted poorly, so he was looking up with an expression of near terror, like the cieling was covered with spiders.

Man, so, in high school I remember a friend showed me either a picture or a full blown site of some guy's invention. He was some super ripped (possibly long haired? maybe he looked like Tony Little?) Anyway, this guy had invented a Full Body Bicycle. It was some unholy contraption kind of like a round steel cage with wheels that came out at bizarre angles and stuff. I swear I remember an infomercial where he rides this thing, the whole point was you had to use your hands and legs at the same time. If anyone could find it that'd be amazing, it's been killing me lately.

Around 2000 there was a text based game or more like a questionnaire form that was about the continuity problem or the teleporter thought experiment... The goal was to stay alive through a series of choices, like do you get in a teleporter that disassembles your body and reassembles it somewhere else, or being cryogenically frozen to wait for a cancer cure, or have your consciousness uploaded to the matrix. Its pretty much Theseus' paradox, but with sci-fi and consciousness rather than a boat. I've been searching for hours but can only find articles on the philosophical questions it presents, not the game itself. Anyone remember this?

^^ I recall that flash thing, but not seeing it and the stay alive thing together. It could be, but then again It could also have been from a couple of years earlier which would be before the matrix / flash games existed. About the only other thing I remember from the original is that it was light text on a dark background.

Not quite 'Internet' necromancy, but I need to know what this is. Years and years ago, I remember catching just a little bit of a show that I'm pretty sure was on PBS. The only thing I can remember was a middle aged white guy in his apartment, constantly singing (or 'rapping', since there was no melody) "Who's the king of rock and roll? Tell me, I've just got to know" to himself, over and over again.

If there's a better thread for this, please let me know, this is driving me nuts.

If it helps, the dude looked like someone from Captain Kangaroo, and/or the businessman who gets into the possessed taxi in Ghostbusters.

Is it possibly related to John Baldry? That sounds like something out of the spoken lyrics of Don't Try To Lay No Boogie-Woogie On The King Of Rock And Roll.

There used to be a webcomic called Simulated Comic Product. It had one particular strip called "Iterative Design Improvements" that ran on 2006-05-04. It was really good and it actually affected the way I feel about my job (engineering), and I'd really like to have a copy of it. It features two office guys talking at a water cooler about improving the design of a landmine, and the last panel is some kids playing soccer with a neglected, half-buried landmine hidden from their view.

SCP was originally hosted on simulatedcomicproduct.com, but later migrated to robotandghost.com, and now both are gone and the archives are nowhere to be found. The internet wayback machine is spotty for them, and I checked many dates and none can properly find the image of Iterative Design Improvements.

What would be really awesome would be a complete archive of the comic, but if anyone could help me find this one strip I'd really appreciate it.

Based on hunting around on the wayback machine, the urls it used to live at were:

Maybe 10 years ago (?) someone posted a video where a guy went to Red Lobster dressed up as a fisherman (complete in yellow raincoat) and was telling the bartender how his son was lost at sea or eaten by a giant squid, and then the giant squid came through the door of the restaurant and they had an epic battle. Anyone?

Does someone have a link to the story written by some goon (at least I think it was from here) about a guy working at a desk job that didn't do any work? Like, the company didn't know he existed, though he was getting paid. And then he finds some other guy at a different branch that was in the same situation.

Last time I saw it was maybe five years ago, though I think it was from before I joined SA. It was rehosted on another site when I read it.

I remember these, I think. If we're talking about the same thing, they did a ton of Star Trek stuff. It used to be under some Space Lobster domain (don't know if it was hyphenated or a .com, net, or whatever, but it was there. They were also called something like the Golden Age of Comics.

I remember a few of them, one with Riker putting his hand on the shoulder of a young Klingon boy, saying "eat my cock, you space lobster".
