At this point DreamWorks has so much untapped potential with it's cancelled films that I've imagined them opening a separate studio dedicated to finishing most of these films (in order for the main DreamWorks studio to work on their current projects and not get those cancelled), I would call it DreamWorks Vault.
I always wanted more details about the "cannibal mice" experiment. Mice do eat each other if one happens to die in the same enclosure and isn't cleaned up fast enough. it's entirely possible the two mice might've died of starvation and the other held out long enough to eat the dead ones and survive. So it'd be less "cardboard turned mice into horrible cannibals" and more "the mice died of starvation and the surviving one just did what mice do".
@@SonicXisCanon I know I've seen documentaries where you can clearly see animals hunt and kill. So I don't see the difference. It's still just animals killing each other, it's not like they killed the mice themselves.
I assumed it had to do with the toxicity/ lack of nutrition in the cardboard. I don't know how long the mice were left to their devices so its possible it's due to starvation, but the fact they were acting funny is interesting. Its true that one can be nutrition starved, where you eat like rice till you filled your stomach but your body breaks down due to lack of vital stuff. Think scurvy but worse. I would say the mice died due to sickness and the last one held out.
I love the fact the General Mills actually worked with the Lost Media community here! It's so cool that they agreed that it was important to archive and helped.
I refuse to believe the Boo Berry commercial was ever lost. Year before the pandemic hit I was in a big Monster Cereal hyperfixation and spent nights watching compilations of the commercials, and this one complication that claimed to have "every monster cereal ad" had that Boo Berry commerical. And not just the 30 sec version, but the entire 1 min version. It was never lost media. Someone just looking in the right compliations
I was thinking the same thing. I’ve seen the commercial a couple times before it was officially “found” and was confused when I heard about a “lost” Boo Berry commercial. If anything I didn’t know that a 30-second version of it existed.
Kinda like what happened with "Clockman." It was officially uploaded by the animation studio or copyright holder for years on YT, but because no one knew the short's real name, it was pretty much hiding in plain sight. We need a dedicated group to sift through as many commercial compilations as they can find. No telling what was lost or found until someone stumbles on one of them.

I'm now thinking of UnluckyTug's video on Thomas lost media. He did a very good job explaining what the hell was going on in that particular sales pitch.
Boo Berry always makes me think of that Family Guy episode where Pete meets Boo Berry has a handshake with the cereal mascot but refuses to wash it afterwards due to getting high on fame.
It never ceases to amaze me just how popular Halloween is in America, here in Australia nobody puts up decorations, there's no limited edition items or foodstuffs, nobody does trick-or-treating or anything of the sort.
Yeah, about that. PBS lost the US broadcasting rights to Thomas in 2017. It then aired on Nickelodeon until the end of 2020. Now there’s a new Thomas and Friends series on Cartoon Network (with Netflix owning the streaming rights).
Every time I go grocery shopping with my family and I see the Monster Cereals have came back, I always have to shove a box of Boo Berry into the cart. But this year, after seeing they brought back Fruit Brute, I decided to change things up a bit.
According to some LinkedIn profiles, there was a B.OO. spinoff show in development called B.O.O.: Earth Division that likely never made it past the writing phase.
I feel like I remember the white house Halloween videos, like we watched them in middle or early highschool. Maybe they're in a documentary somewhere out there

The SMIL files you mentioned in the segment about the lost halloween presidential videos I believe are Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) presentation files (basically a slideshow sorta thing) and I think they could be played via RealPlayer.
They should have revisited BOO and gone the same route as Trollhunters. Not making it a single movie, but rather an episodic cartoon series. Seems there's a lot of potential in BOO being one. And if they can make a streaming series based on that piece of crap Abominable, they can certainly look into BOO.
@@mightyfilm I'm 100 percent with you. The idea would work better as an episodic show, because it's as limitless as the number of ghosts/creatures they can come up with in the writer's room. It had so much potential & this is the best way to execute it.
@@gabepollock1641 I honestly didn't think Trollhunters could have worked as a full length movie the way that it did as a series. Best case scenario, it could have been a "How to Train your Dragons" type that got to 3 movies, worst case, it would have been a "Rise of the Guardians" situation that alienated the movie going public into not even getting a sequel. I think B.O.O. would have been that kind of movie. A one and done that doesn't get the mainstream audience internationally. And yes, a movie like that would have to be successful EVERYWHERE for it to get a sequel. Look at Monsters VS Aliens.
Seeing the Thomas segment reminded me of the list Ernest the engine sketches, like the video for pregnant and all of season 3, they were all apart an Australian show called comedy inc, and was most likely it's most popular sketch series, only one of the season 3 episodes was found, and it was found on a re-upload of a VHS, that's probably how more of the episodes would be found
Goodness, the mouse one bothers me so much. Frankly, I think the experiment was cruel. It's one thing if an experiment is necessary for the wellbeing of others, but it's another when you do something like that essentially for fun and curiosity alone. On a lighter note, I love the idea of the Thomas short. Taking something and twisting it, making it strange and perhaps a little creepy is a really appealing concept to me.
OUCH. We used to say Thomas branding came of Botox: the fans picked up the remark from a funny kid's editorial. Shoehorning it into Percy's face misses my boy's point about well... money.
The Cannibal Mouse case is disturbing in a more humorous light, but there might be a day where the episode gets released but we are unsure if that will ever be the case. Next up, the lost 'monster cereal' commercials. Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy are the most underutilized mascots compared to Count Chocula, Frankenberry and Boo Berry. But in 2021 both returned in pure form. Then what is up with the other Universal Monsters like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, Medusa and the Invisible Man not having their own cereal brand like the five mentioned earlier? No idea.
I’ve raised mice myself, and yes, they will commit acts of cannibalism! Usually it’s if one dies and the body isn’t removed soon enough. It’s an instinct to keep predators away!
I actually brought up the lost mice experiment from mythbusters last night with my dad. And yeah, it does sound more like the two mice died of starvation, and the one that survived up to that point ate the deceased ones to survive. It's like cases where when a person dies in their home with their pet dog or cat, eventually, the animal would begin to eat their dead owner just to survive. That's the nature of animals is to survive. Now, does that mean the experiment was ethical? No. Even if they never intended on mouse cannibalism, there was a high chance it was going to end with dead mice, from the toxicity of cardboard or starvation from lack of nutrients. While I understand it's common place to use mice for this kind of test ("lab rat" is literally a term for a person being used as a test subject), I still have a lot of issues with the intentional starvation of animals, and it's clear Discovery did as well (tho maybe the cannibalism is what was deemed too extreme for them)
I know it's not related to anything about Halloween, but it's still unmentioned, and completely lost. I was at a Kraftwerk concert at the Arcadia Theater in St. Charles Illinois. I couldn't find any info about the concert, no photos, audio, or video. not even a poster. there were people with television cameras for NBC. I remember talking to one of these cameramen and they said that it was broadcasted on national television. I saw screencaps in an issue of TV Guide.
I HAVE THAT BOO TOWEL!! I always thought it was just some obscure kids show or something that I'd never heard of. So weird to know what it really is lol
I don’t know if this sounds insensitive, but I think Discovery suggesting Adam destroy his copy was kind of..dramatic? I completely understand that it could be gruesome and dark, but this wouldn’t be the first time science took a dark toll.
Animals cannibalize each other all the time though? When you’d mentioned “lost media Mythbusters” I figured you were gonna mention that time they did the experiment with RFID and there was that really weird scenario where Adam said they got bullied by the credit card companies to not do it which he then said was 100% him misremembering things (which just made the situation look even more suspicious)
The whole "cannibal mice" actually reminds me of two incidents I saw as a kid, not with mice, but with a hamster and guinea pig. For the hamster first, this happened shortly after mine and my sister's got to live with each other. We discovered my hamster (Speedy) was female and assumed my sisters (idk the name) was male as my hamster gave birth. Yeah, not fun. So after giving the babies back to the pet store and giving one away, they were fine, but one day I came to see my hamster eating the inside of my sister's hamster who was dead. This similar thing would happen to our two guinea pigs, only no pregnancy, but again, one eating the other. They weren't starving and both had water, food and a relatively clean home. Not sure what caused it, but the experiment done by Myth Busters does remind me of what happened in my case. I don't think the mice were starving or that toxicity played a key, but I generally think it was just the lab mice they had. Maybe two of them were already sick, making it easy for x lab mice to just feed off the other. It's probably what happened for my pets as well. Though it sucks we won't see the footage, it's probably better that we don't. Cannibalism is a very touchy subject in general regardless of context and even just showing imagery can be too sensitive. So I don't blame them for its removal, but I do think if Adam wants to show the footage in a convention setting that's his deal. So long as the footage doesn't get recorded by the audience in attendance, there is nothing wrong so long as its ok with the convention/audience.
The mouse one makes me extremely sad. They literally just starved three poor mice to the point where one felt like it had to eat the other two to survive. I used to work at a pet store and one day I came in to open just to find that one of the mice in the care center had eaten the other mouse that was caged with him because the person the night before didn’t put food in the bowl. It fucked with me so much to the point where I ended up quitting the job because of some other poor treatment of the animals.
Have you covered the cancelled Gatchaman film by Imagi? I've obsessed over this project since it was announced years ago. It haunts my dreams. I wish it had happened.
There was an episode of Mythbusfers they considered lost but it was aired, at least according to my provider’s DTV schedule. It was an episode on RFID. Jamie or Adam mentioned it being fully produced back in 2007 but said legal wouldn’t let them release it. Apparently that got overturned as it was listed as airing as a new episode (with its 2007 copyright) some time around 2013. Did this episode stick around for video on demand? Anyone have Discovery+ that can comment? (who am I kidding nobody has Discovery+)
I don't think that one is actually lost, just some people still thinking it never aired. There's 6 years from 2007 to 2013, which is kind of a long time, so most people probably didn't realize it actually aired and assumed it was a different episode.
@@MinatheRaichu RFID is basically the technology used in credit card chips. The companies didn't let them finish the experiment because they were trying to find out how hackable it was, which they obviously didn't want aired on television because it could've inspired hackers to cause nationwide credit scams and related havoc
This was definitely a different, and interesting new take on celebrating Halloween this year, LSSQ; having past topics combined into 1 spooky, and it was fun! :D That really is a shame Dreamworks's B.O.O. (Bureau Of Otherworldly Operations) animated movie was cancelled cause the completed footages of what I've seen so far have been really cool, and there were even merchandise for it, which is even crazier, so hopefully, we'll be able to find more music, art gallery, art concepts, footage, etc. of the cancelled film, and maybe even get it officially back on track to full completion (keyword; MAYBE)! :) I do hope the 1 mouse that ate the other 2 mice from that MythBusters episode did so purely out of starvation since that is what mice normally do, and not because of eating cardboard box pellets, and perhaps see the rest of the episode in its entirety if possible. It's great that we managed to not only capture the 30 second length of the classic 1971 Boo Berry cereal animated commercial from over 1 decade ago, but also the original 1 minute-half one too, so we can now enjoy said commercial in its entirety while eating the Boo Berry cereal (as well as the Frankenberry, and/or Count Chocula cereals)! Even though I have next to no interest in anything related to politics, I do think it's pretty neat that the White House actually held several scary stories on their website. Here's hoping we can find the rest. I gotta say, I don't think I've ever seen any Thomas The Tank Engine commercials like that one before, and MAN, is it strange beyond belief? I do like it for its insanity, and even somewhat unsettling tone though. What's really a disappointment is that despite it not actually being officially lost, it can't be seen to the public unless it's a business that's interested with the Thomas brand, so, hopefully, it'll get leaked, and somebody will able to save it for all to see! Another amazing lost media, my man!
This has me paranoid / curious now. But I have a ton of cd-roms with games and music that came free in cereal boxes and UK newspapers from the early 2000s. Along with games published by Sold Out Software (like Tomb Raider II and Hitman) that included demos and trailers for other games. If I get a disk reader, how would I go about archiving them?
You can either just copy the files from the disc or you can use a program like Imgburn (or others, there's seriously tons of free software) to make an .Iso file from the disc.
Wait why are you talking about the white house thing again? That was in your last upload. *checks* Wait... where did it go? Did you take that one down? No wonder it was included here. Also that Thomas one is just wtf inducing
So, not related to the video, but I just found out that Robin Williams had what was basically a podcast for Audible when it first launched in 2000 where he interviewed lots of entertainment heavy hitters. Bits and pieces are scattered across the internet including part of an interview with George Lucas that stumbled into my UA-cam feed which is how I found out about this whole thing, but a majority of them seem to be lost. A Robin Williams fansite has a list and summary of interviews that were done and seems like the site had them up at one point until copyright owners asked for them to be taken down. I dunno, just sounds like something possibly worth looking into.
There have been some development with the Thomas and friends institute of innovation, with new clips on some showreels on studio hansa's vimeo page as recent as 5 months ago, which makes me believe that their contract with hit entertainment might be running out, but who knows? well see.
Huh, thank God I saw that Mythbusters fact before I started a cardboard only diet and cannibalizing 16 more people this year then hiding their bodies out within the woods of Maine.
On the subject of lost Thomas media, I remember hearing something about there being a canceled, gritty film. I’m not a Thomas fan so there’s probably a lot of context I’m missing, but from what I can remember, it was some kind of origin story involving Thomas being brought to life during World War 2. Do you know anything about this?
I remember being a huge Thomas fan when I was 3, 4 or 5 and watching this weird half live-action half animation video It was about a green train (sorry if this angers any Thomas fans but I don't remember the green one's name) chilling and then a meteorite crashes by next to him and it turns out that the meteorite was an alien
From what I've seen, while it would've taken place during WW2, it would've been a family-friendly film, not really that gritty. It would've focused on a boy who gets separated from his father and ends up on the Island of Sodor where he meets Thomas and his friends. There are CG test renders of a more realistic looking Thomas without a face. It was supposed to come out in 2012, but kept getting pushed back and ultimately canceled.
So disappointed that those supposed scientists would be so unusally cruel and think that animal testing would go over well with their audience. I never knew about this. Did they seriously think an animal can survive on cardboard? What did they think was gonna happen? They're acting weird cause they're intestines are probably clogged with cardboard desperately trying to stay alive! Making jokes about it and showing it to be just makes it seem like they don't even feel bad about it.
Most of the Thomas commercial seems fine, it’s just how realistic and hairy Thomas’s dangly limbs are, they’re almost akin to a sloth’s arms and it’s quite unsettling
Ironic that videos about lost media are becoming lost media themselves I was wondering why he would just straight copy the White House segment in this video from the "Lost Media for my Haters and Critics" video, but I guess this explains why, he just privates videos for underperforming now I guess
Family Guy: Road to Death was a video game where you could've played as the characters in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. It was scrapped, and turned into Back to the Multiverse.

When you’d mentioned “lost media Mythbusters” I figured you were gonna mention that time they did the experiment with RFID and there was that really weird scenario where Adam said they got bullied by the credit card companies to not do it which he then said was 100% him misremembering things (which just made the situation look even more suspicious)
I thought it was gonna be the episode that ended up being an info hazard.
@@MinatheRaichu Which one???
@@momoapples the one that proved that you can make explosives.
@@MinatheRaichuMy personal theory is that they made TATP and didn't expect it to be so sensitive, but I could very well be wrong
The whole "cannibal mice" actually reminds me of two incidents I saw as a kid, not with mice, but with a hamster and guinea pig. For the hamster first, this happened shortly after mine and my sister's got to live with each other. We discovered my hamster (Speedy) was female and assumed my sisters (idk the name) was male as my hamster gave birth. Yeah, not fun. So after giving the babies back to the pet store and giving one away, they were fine, but one day I came to see my hamster eating the inside of my sister's hamster who was dead.
This similar thing would happen to our two guinea pigs, only no pregnancy, but again, one eating the other. They weren't starving and both had water, food and a relatively clean home. Not sure what caused it, but the experiment done by Myth Busters does remind me of what happened in my case. I don't think the mice were starving or that toxicity played a key, but I generally think it was just the lab mice they had. Maybe two of them were already sick, making it easy for x lab mice to just feed off the other. It's probably what happened for my pets as well.
Though it sucks we won't see the footage, it's probably better that we don't. Cannibalism is a very touchy subject in general regardless of context and even just showing imagery can be too sensitive. So I don't blame them for its removal, but I do think if Adam wants to show the footage in a convention setting that's his deal. So long as the footage doesn't get recorded by the audience in attendance, there is nothing wrong so long as its ok with the convention/audience.
coming home to see one of my hamsters eating the other would scar me for life, my goodness
@@ArthurTRead Yeah it still scars me, ngl. Specially since it was my hamster eating at my sister's. Was not fun.
that boy from the boo movie looks like off brand jimmy neutron 😂
The mouse one makes me extremely sad. They literally just starved three poor mice to the point where one felt like it had to eat the other two to survive. I used to work at a pet store and one day I came in to open just to find that one of the mice in the care center had eaten the other mouse that was caged with him because the person the night before didn’t put food in the bowl. It fucked with me so much to the point where I ended up quitting the job because of some other poor treatment of the animals.
They literally said in the video mice will just eat other dead mice
You seem unfit to work at a pet store
@@MurrmorMeerkat yeah but it’s usually out of defense or because they aren’t getting food or nutrients.
@@unclebaba3463 it’s a good thing i quit then i guess. i’m just curious as to why you think i’m unfit though?
Have you covered the cancelled Gatchaman film by Imagi? I've obsessed over this project since it was announced years ago. It haunts my dreams. I wish it had happened.
Thomas fan here, we're scared of that short too
There was an episode of Mythbusfers they considered lost but it was aired, at least according to my provider’s DTV schedule. It was an episode on RFID. Jamie or Adam mentioned it being fully produced back in 2007 but said legal wouldn’t let them release it. Apparently that got overturned as it was listed as airing as a new episode (with its 2007 copyright) some time around 2013. Did this episode stick around for video on demand? Anyone have Discovery+ that can comment? (who am I kidding nobody has Discovery+)
I don't think that one is actually lost, just some people still thinking it never aired. There's 6 years from 2007 to 2013, which is kind of a long time, so most people probably didn't realize it actually aired and assumed it was a different episode.
Do you know what it was about specifically? Maybe explain what RFID for the ones uninitiated (ie. me)
@@MinatheRaichu RFID is basically the technology used in credit card chips. The companies didn't let them finish the experiment because they were trying to find out how hackable it was, which they obviously didn't want aired on television because it could've inspired hackers to cause nationwide credit scams and related havoc
@@momoapples apparently there are a lot of em lol
The thumbnail is the face of a Tankashian lmao
This was definitely a different, and interesting new take on celebrating Halloween this year, LSSQ; having past topics combined into 1 spooky, and it was fun! :D That really is a shame Dreamworks's B.O.O. (Bureau Of Otherworldly Operations) animated movie was cancelled cause the completed footages of what I've seen so far have been really cool, and there were even merchandise for it, which is even crazier, so hopefully, we'll be able to find more music, art gallery, art concepts, footage, etc. of the cancelled film, and maybe even get it officially back on track to full completion (keyword; MAYBE)! :) I do hope the 1 mouse that ate the other 2 mice from that MythBusters episode did so purely out of starvation since that is what mice normally do, and not because of eating cardboard box pellets, and perhaps see the rest of the episode in its entirety if possible. It's great that we managed to not only capture the 30 second length of the classic 1971 Boo Berry cereal animated commercial from over 1 decade ago, but also the original 1 minute-half one too, so we can now enjoy said commercial in its entirety while eating the Boo Berry cereal (as well as the Frankenberry, and/or Count Chocula cereals)! Even though I have next to no interest in anything related to politics, I do think it's pretty neat that the White House actually held several scary stories on their website. Here's hoping we can find the rest. I gotta say, I don't think I've ever seen any Thomas The Tank Engine commercials like that one before, and MAN, is it strange beyond belief? I do like it for its insanity, and even somewhat unsettling tone though. What's really a disappointment is that despite it not actually being officially lost, it can't be seen to the public unless it's a business that's interested with the Thomas brand, so, hopefully, it'll get leaked, and somebody will able to save it for all to see! Another amazing lost media, my man!
What little was shown of that Thomas short gives me massive Shed 17 vibes
the yassified thomas thumbnail 😭 glad to be early tho!
This has me paranoid / curious now.
But I have a ton of cd-roms with games and music that came free in cereal boxes and UK newspapers from the early 2000s.
Along with games published by Sold Out Software (like Tomb Raider II and Hitman) that included demos and trailers for other games.
If I get a disk reader, how would I go about archiving them?
You can either just copy the files from the disc or you can use a program like Imgburn (or others, there's seriously tons of free software) to make an .Iso file from the disc.
0:28 So true! I was assigned for a week to help put up Christmas decorations at my Home Depot.
I'm guessing many of us clicked due to that... horrifying thumbnail. Anyways, this is a great video!
I like the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared approach to Thomas the Tank Engine
Thats Cursed Like Having a bag and towel of a movie never realesed
Personally I think that the ISOI is pretty weird but I would much rather see the 83' pilot restored and released!
I didn't need to be reminded of botox Percy
Yassified percy
Ahh, the Thomas short is just good old British humour!
Never been THIS early to an LSSQ video before!
Me neither man. Me neither!
eepy
Funny how you go back to Thomas lost media again with this infamous short, I though that thumbnail looked like a Thomas character with Botox lips.
I’m normally not interested in lost media but whenever you upload I watch
the thumbnail was so odd i really thought it was a fanmade model.
bruh that early version of the boo movie stole the plot of the 2009 german comedy movie "Hui buh!"
😩
why does b.o.o. look like an actually good, competent movie?
Sometimes I think about how I've never eaten any of the Halloween monster cereals
Well, it was either THAT thumbnail or The Buff Controller
Love it.
Wait why are you talking about the white house thing again? That was in your last upload.
*checks*
Wait... where did it go? Did you take that one down?
No wonder it was included here.
Also that Thomas one is just wtf inducing
So, not related to the video, but I just found out that Robin Williams had what was basically a podcast for Audible when it first launched in 2000 where he interviewed lots of entertainment heavy hitters. Bits and pieces are scattered across the internet including part of an interview with George Lucas that stumbled into my UA-cam feed which is how I found out about this whole thing, but a majority of them seem to be lost. A Robin Williams fansite has a list and summary of interviews that were done and seems like the site had them up at one point until copyright owners asked for them to be taken down. I dunno, just sounds like something possibly worth looking into.
Thomas’s institution of innovation is why I came here
5:56 *sees Prawn Srars from DaThings* lol, nice.
In middle school I was doin a science project with mice and they too ate each other.
The thumbnail is one of the most unnerving things I've seen in years. Another thumbnail I will always hope to avoid haha
I had two male pet mice as a kid, you’re not supposed to house males together because they fight. Cannibalism occurred
That story about the mice experiment sounds like a lost episode Creepypasta!
There have been some development with the Thomas and friends institute of innovation, with new clips on some showreels on studio hansa's vimeo page as recent as 5 months ago, which makes me believe that their contract with hit entertainment might be running out, but who knows? well see.
I do not blame that mouse whatsoever…He was hungry…
21:26 That's so weird and cursed but them lips & mouth almost got me to act up.
Never heard about that Mythbusters thing before... no matter which way you look at it that was definitely "Animal Testing" and supremely messed up.
Yeah, they really shouldn't have done that.
Huh, thank God I saw that Mythbusters fact before I started a cardboard only diet and cannibalizing 16 more people this year then hiding their bodies out within the woods of Maine.
Abraham Lincoln's ghost can't be haunting the white house because he didn't die in the white house
On the subject of lost Thomas media, I remember hearing something about there being a canceled, gritty film. I’m not a Thomas fan so there’s probably a lot of context I’m missing, but from what I can remember, it was some kind of origin story involving Thomas being brought to life during World War 2. Do you know anything about this?
I remember being a huge Thomas fan when I was 3, 4 or 5 and watching this weird half live-action half animation video
It was about a green train (sorry if this angers any Thomas fans but I don't remember the green one's name) chilling and then a meteorite crashes by next to him and it turns out that the meteorite was an alien
From what I've seen, while it would've taken place during WW2, it would've been a family-friendly film, not really that gritty. It would've focused on a boy who gets separated from his father and ends up on the Island of Sodor where he meets Thomas and his friends. There are CG test renders of a more realistic looking Thomas without a face. It was supposed to come out in 2012, but kept getting pushed back and ultimately canceled.
The WW2 Film was called: The Adventures of Thomas. We have some assets of the Film but not much more
TrainBoy would have a field day with the Institute of Innovation.
So disappointed that those supposed scientists would be so unusally cruel and think that animal testing would go over well with their audience. I never knew about this. Did they seriously think an animal can survive on cardboard? What did they think was gonna happen? They're acting weird cause they're intestines are probably clogged with cardboard desperately trying to stay alive! Making jokes about it and showing it to be just makes it seem like they don't even feel bad about it.
they clearly didn't think it would go over well considering it was never aired
Why does the mythbuster segment feel dejavu , either you or blameitonjorge said the same line of forgetting pawn stars existed
IVE BEEN SO FIXATED ON LOST MEDIA TODAY IM GLAD THIS CAME OUT TODAY YAYYYYY
The monster cereal OMG my parents get it every year and we eat it on Halloween. Miss the old drawings though. But it’s still good
Most of the Thomas commercial seems fine, it’s just how realistic and hairy Thomas’s dangly limbs are, they’re almost akin to a sloth’s arms and it’s quite unsettling
We should probably start saving these videos before they start disappearing a week later.
Way ahead of you, have this one backed up & I might go through the rest of the channel & stash them on my hard drive.
@@gabepollock1641 its probably because of copyright if your wondering why
@@LimeLoaf i don't think its copyright strikes. LSSQ just privates things at will nowadays.
@@cryotek3624 rip
Ironic that videos about lost media are becoming lost media themselves
I was wondering why he would just straight copy the White House segment in this video from the "Lost Media for my Haters and Critics" video, but I guess this explains why, he just privates videos for underperforming now I guess
Family Guy: Road to Death was a video game where you could've played as the characters in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. It was scrapped, and turned into Back to the Multiverse.
Source ?
@@brandommario2 You can watch the trailer and prototype footage on UA-cam
The Thomas thing sounds so hilarious tbh 😂
fun fact they found the full video of thomas
Wait, what?
B.O.O. Being cancelled was a complete shock I remember following the production very early on being a Seth Rogen fan.
16:13 What kind of flash file is it? If it’s SWF, then the video could easily be extracted with Free Flash Decompiler.
