today we are going to be deep diving into and investigating the most intruiging, bizarre, and disturbing obscure lost media posts you should know about from r/lostmedia. these come from a subreddit on reddit dedicated to lost media, the type of content blameitonjorge covers. these are internet mysteries and reddit stories. despite all things lost it is still important to keep the community fresh with obscure content. here we cover childhood cartoons from the early 2000s and 80s vaporwave. animal crossing, everything at the end of time by the caretaker, lostwave most mysterious song, and mcdonald's mac tonight's very own shrimp mcbite. watch my deep dive to investigate each one!

"Osama Bin Laden's Animal Crossing Save" is certainly a new sentence I've never heard before. 👀
He also watched anime such a evil guy but yet he played a cute and harmless game
@@skootergirl22 no, his kids watched anime
It’s funny coz aren’t modded 3DS files called FBI or CIA or something?
@@celestecu CIA as in Citra the codename of the 3ds
I just want to know what villagers he had in his town 😂
I am morbidly obsessed with Osama’s hard drive to an unhealthy degree. The fact that, at any point in time in the mid to late 2000’s, you could be playing Counterstrike with the actual most wanted terrorist in the world is further evidence that whatever created this universe has some strange sense of humor
[Terrorists Win]
Osama : hehehehe
Sounds like you have a boring life lmao
first of all, the universe wasn’t created by a being capable of humor. secondly, i’m afraid bin laden’s games were for his son, not for osama himself
@@cei5140 you are boring as fuck
@@eaedfghhggh2707 nah, u choose to believe in fairytales in order to come across as interesting lil bro, ion need that
one thing I love about your channel is the “let’s get right into it” vibe. I’ve seen a lot of channels like yours add super long pauses and / or talk really slow in order to boost video length and add a creepy effect, but all it does is take me out of the video. please please please never change that!
thank you, and don't worry i won't! i've always wanted that specific vibe with my content so very happy to hear it comes across that way
Agreed!!!
Nexpo does the thing ur mentioning alot, he always has dramatic pauses.
@@christianskjod3440 mama max and nexpo are the epitome of exaggerated ass scary youtube videos lmao. this right here is probably my favorite channel ever.
this! im so happy to be watching a lost media youtuber that isn't a guy putting on a deep voice with scary music in the background
Shrimp McBites is HILARIOUS. I remember those, I lived around there, and everyone I knew hated them lmao. That's so wild. I didn't realize it was a "lost media" situation
Apparently if you wrote McDonald Pakistani Shrimps, you actually find all ads and media connected with Mcshrimps
@@DayDreamingWritersI looked that up, it only says shrimp and not shrimp mcbites.
I used to work for McDonalds. There's probably 3 or 4 products every year that are released in limited test markets and generally have minimal to no advertizing. Those products often never see a full release. For example, the Southern Chicken Biscuit was only available in certain areas for a limited time and had minimal promotion. I even went to a giant corporate event as part of training at one point where I learned about several products in other test markets from throughout the previous year that I'd been completely unaware of. As for the McLobster, that has more to do with the logistics of moving fresh lobster around the nation, so it's only available in areas where that is feasible.
The shrimp mcbites seem different to the shrimp box McDonald's sells here.
I used to work for Wendy's, and there's a similar practice they did there, where they would use a single store in Ohio for things such as, for example, a substitute meat black bean burger. I only learned about it because of someone making that somewhat outlandish request, but it's actually pretty interesting to think that they just have a store they take a lot of risks with and see if a more niche product would succeed on the market.
@@ShuraEssays One of the things I found out is that Columbus OH is used as a test market by a LOT of companies. Apparently it's got a makeup very similar to the nation at large, so it's thought that it highly reflects the tastes of the rest of the nation.
OMG Southern Chicken Biscuit !!! I loved that so much!!
Was MacDonalds. Mandela Effect.
I love that this is overall a wholesome and charming look at lost media! Lots of people tend to focus on incredibly dark or NSFL type lost media, so it's very refreshing to see about the more lighthearted mysteries (well, the animal crossing one may have a dark connection, but even then it's animal crossing. Lol)
Every time I hear or come across the Caretaker online, I instantly close the tab and try to forget about it. This isn't because the music is bad, but it's quite the opposite. The music just affected me so much that waves of sadness come over me whenever I think about it. The Caretaker accomplished what every artist yearns for.
Same here.
the first time i heard the album i was so moved it took me a month to process my emotions. Today I can hear it because of the memes that came after
I've started listening to the first few minutes of that album now because of your comment, and your comment and the other comments on that album's video are making me scared and in awe of what I've just unearthed 😰
Boards of Canada does too
The comments on the albums are something else man. Paranoid. That's how I feel with everything related to The Caretaker.
The lost power metal band actually sounds like a really good band that, based on nobody knowing who they were, seems to have, unfortunately, never taken off.
Also, three locations in total for a product across the span of a month really IS exclusivity!
Is it not iron maiden ?
@@emceeshardzone327it sounds like a band trying really hard to be Maiden.
It's not Maiden, it's someone trying very hard to be Maiden though.
@@medes5597 it sounds a lot like The Mercenary from (2000's) Brave New World to me. It also sounds more modern than 80s production. But I haven't read the threads, so the redditors may have figured this out
@@mutate34 it does sound super similar to post-Bruce come back maiden. The production value, the structure, even sounds like modern Bruce vocals more than classic era. Genuinely I wondered if a modern maiden tribute act recorded their own maiden-ish song and it ended up sounding way older than it was because they used cheap equipment.
It's incredibly similar to the mercenary, I just went back and listened to them back to back. The riff and drums are super close. Not identical but suspiciously close. I still don't think that vocalist is Bruce though. It someone trying to sound like him.
@@medes5597 plus it has those Pantera/Zack Wylde ish guitar squeals
There is a similar mystery to the Shrimp McBites packaging to be found in the lost Fish McBites lip syncing app. In 2012-2013 McDonald's advertised an app to promote Fish McBites that gave you a variety of mouths that would sing a song about the product. I remember my brother downloading the app on our iPod and one of the mouths singing about Shrimp McBites. I always thought it was weird because the item was never mentioned in the commercial and I never saw it advertised anywhere else. I live in the South and have never been to any of those McDonald's, but I distinctly remember the Shrimp McBites.
I have this app currently on my spare iPhone 4. Very odd way to advertise a food lol
@@MindMonkye You should upload footage on that app to LMW
@StrastTheFox sure. Didn’t know it was lost. If I remember after school I’ll upload some videos of it
@StrastTheFox ended up getting it on my old iPod since my iPhone 4s was dead and I couldn’t find the charger. I’m uploading the video right now
@@megablueman to be honest I’m not quite sure how I would go about doing that?
The whole Shrimp McBites thing makes me think about how I was trying to find any information of a promotional ice cream flavor at Baskin-Robbins during the first Shrek movie that I distinctively remember but no one else can seem to, nor does it seem to be in the archived menus: a sort of "Swamp Bugs" ice-cream that was a vanilla ice-cream that was greenish with chocolate pieces in the shape of beetles with green caramel, a sort of Shrek inspired Moose Tracks type ice-cream in a waffle cone I recall eating during a field trip with my fellow peers from Boys and Girls Club in San Diego in the early 2000s. I loved wacky treat ideas, and caramel is my favorite gooey stuff in deserts, and I remember being the only one on the trip that was brave enough to "eat the bugs".
I wanted to find a visual of it when discussing Shrek snacks with a friend, and was shocked to find that the ice-cream either wasn't recorded or listed in the promotional materials.
Dude lost restaurant menu items should become a whole new sub genre lol that actually sounds hella interesting.
I read about this ! It existed in 2001. You are not crazy lol. There are no images I can find of it online but the description matches up 😊
I remember this, but are you sure it wasn't Dairy Queen or even Friendly's?
oh i actually went for a hunt for some very similar info one time! it was spurred upon by a clip of a streamer i had uploaded to my own channel that featured promotional material from what i assume to be the same or similar ad campaign, and someone in the comments inquired about what the flavour of one of the items so i went looking for it.
i found a bunch of promotional material item images, with the best thing being a medium article archiving it all over the several ad campaigns baskin & robbins did - although i don’t remember the item that you’re talking about specifically being on there as i was mainly just searching for any description of the flavour of any of the foods. if you haven’t seen the things i’m mentioning before (the medium article, etc), i would recommend going looking for those to see if your thing is there. hope you find it soon! :^)
Also while doing research, I found out that in Shrek 2 there is a “Baskin Robinhood” in the background lol.
I remember seeing my siblings watching Paz in the late 00s, and it's strange to think that things I might have seen back then would just go missing for over a decade.
Btw your videos are pretty refreshing compared to other similar channels Kylie. I really like your no bullshit approach to presenting these topics and your music/background video choices. Keep up the good work :)
I’m brenden2000 from the Shrimp McBites video. I’m still hoping it can be found one day and haven’t given up fully!
hey thank you for reaching out to mcdonald's! hopefully one day we're able to find photographic proof
@@sombertoboggly I’m considering messaging them again just to see if I can’t get better luck at a picture 😂
@@BravoBrenden i think it's worth a shot!
I would love to see Osama's save! That would be completely surreal! A innocuous, safe glimpse into the mind of a monster.
I saw in another video where they investigated or looked at some other games he played
.. Quite the gamer apparently!
@@saintessa There were 168 devices in the compound, to think he operated all of them is not logical.. He most likely did not play those games
that reminds me a lot of the DOOM levels that were made by Eric Harris, one of the Columbine shooters. supposedly one of them is of the actual school, and i'd like to see them get found because they're interesting and i think it would provide some insight of Harris' state of mind.
Monsters do alot of things that regular people do. Kinda surreal to not other people who do atrocities like that tho
@@jermfanaccount Well that I wouldn't want to see. Doom is a bit disturbing by nature. Animal crossing though, there's no way any evil stuff could be in that save. That's why it's so interesting.
lost my mind seeing the paz show on here, i watched it constantly as a kid and still remember the episodes with the baby birds. i don't think i've ever seen a lost media video mentioning it, even though i've definitely tried to search for it myself. once again i'm thanking you for choosing to cover more obscure topics!
amazing pfp 11/10

Mcdonalds is the MVP for responding with such a detailed response about Shrimp Mcbites. That's really cool.
Speaking from my own obscure lost media experience, one that I see almost no talk about is when 4kids sang the national anthem for a second time. Many of you have probably seen the cringey video where actors from 4kids sang the national anthem as their characters like Sonic, Luffy from One Piece, or Bloom from Winx Club.
But I remember that they actually did an updated rendition around 2007-08. With characters from Yu-Gi-Oh and Chaotic. I actually saw it on TV before I saw the UA-cam upload. I've always wondered if I'd ever be able to find it again and I even made a post on the lost media subreddit, but it didn't get much attention. Oh well, all I can do is spread the word where I can!
No way, swear I have this somewhere
@@YourBiggestFan333 please????
This is real I’ve downloaded a video of this from discord and have seen it on places like 4chan over the years.
@@maxgomez9459 do tou still have the video?
When I first heard the Shrimp McBites mystery in this video my reaction was "pfft how is it possible a product that recent is undocumented? This is fake" and then she showed that McDonald's directly mentioned it. Never underestimate lost content in any form.
Really obscure piece of lost media that's driven me up a wall these last few years because it seems really easy to find is the lost 2019, Japan exclusive My Little Pony manga released by Phase 6. As far as I know, we know nothing about about it itself as a piece of media (writer, artist, plot, etc), but we know exactly when and where it was published. We know what volume it was collected in, but no one has bothered to find that volume and upload at least one image from it.
One that I'm rather passionate about is the, as far as I know, lost Astro Boy video game that came out a few years ago called Edge of Time. It was an online only card game featuring a suite of Tezuka characters with a really unusual artstyle. Some art was gangbusters, some was terrible.
Why don’t you just buy the volume it’s collected in
@@strawberryvision2178 I forgot to mention that the volume was a limited time thing that afaik isn't really sold anymore.
@@amelialonelyfart8848 I found a few copies online, I can try and get a scan of it and message you it
I absolutely love the "Fall of the King" song, I really hope it gets identified one day.
Why’s he fallen
@@YourBiggestFan333I don't know. Find the songwriter and ask them I guess.
Slipped on a banan
its unusual to see a FULL list of lost media that i have never even heard of before, great work in documenting them! if theres any development please keep us posted! specially if its the shrimp
The fallen king goes super hard, I hope it gets found🤘🏼
I first got into this channel a little while ago with the tipofmytongue stuff
and I loved how actual obscure stuff that I never knew existed was showcased in those.
I'm really glad you're still giving us these! Still going strong!
Especially since I don't really wanna visit reddit -
Hey Kylie, I watch a lot of these 'mysteries' channels and you are definetely one of the best. Any day now you will blow up.
It’s interesting seeing James the cat on here. A couple years ago, in college, I had a buddy named James (like the cat) who had vhs tapes of the show that his family had recorded. My dorm regularly sat down and watched them together (more as a joke than in a serious manner). I don’t know if they were the lost episodes but he sure had a lot of them.
"It could even be a faint memory of seeing it with your own eyes before it was lost and longing to see it again" damn this hits hard...I remember loving a certain series when I was a toddler...and now I don't even remember anything about it aside from a single character's name and a scene...
never did i think i would be invested in a mystery about lost mcdonalds products but you made it interesting, i hope you gain more subscribers, you deserve it!
I feel bad for StreetLander, he must had been gaslighted so hard to be this motivated to proving he's not insane.
This channel is so weirdly comforting. There's so much research and attention to detail, I feel like it deserves more attention
My friends and I used to look for the most obscure metal bands we could find. It's a great genre to dig into; seems like it never ends. 😁
I have one for you! Irukandji. They're a Pennsylvania metal band. Me and my brother ran into them in the mall once, but that was probably over 11 years ago now. They handed us one of their CDs to listen to - I remember enjoying it (tho my tastes have changed a bit since then), I haven't thought about them in *years*. I remember their name so clearly because after they handed us the CD, my brother went "oh, like the jellyfish?" and he and the band bonded because he got the name lol
Like violent octopussy spiral mountain.
They slap
six pack of doom's pretty good
when i saw the chubby cat from james the cat i literally went "dawww" out loud, such a shame a show that looks so cute and charming is lost
i'm a bit sad about james the cat. i feel like there's a lot of british tv shows lost to time just because the broadcast range was smaller, less chance that someone would be recording with a VCR or etc. i don't believe i ever saw it but it sounds like exactly the sort of thing i would love as a kid
That mystery song was a genuine banger honestly
Dude, your channel has quickly become one of my favorite mystery channels alongside wendigoon, nexpo, and barely sociable. Keep it up!
Just wanna say i found your channel recently and love to see the diversity in weird topics covered, awesome liminal space visuals, and incredible music picks (aphex twin, the caretaker, Boards of Canada!) All coming together in a perfect storm of all my favorite interests. Really scratches the brain itch, keep it up! And of course, thanks! :)
I don't know what the power metal band is, but the music during the introduction to the piece is definitely from the 1997 Berserk Anime, and later when you read the comments, the music is from Castlevania 😂
Keep up the great work! Your videos are really good, and after inhaling all Nexpo, Whang and Blameitonjorge stuff years ago and they only post anything every couple of months, a new channel with regular lost media and general internet strangeness content is very much appreciated!
I wonder what the creator of Animal Crossing thought about their game being loved by one of the most hated people in history. maybe there's a lost media of a interviewer asking them that question. Cool video. ^_^
The shrimp mcbites guy said he saw the ad for it and then went inside to order it, so I hopped on Google Maps to try to find a poster on the outside for all three locations, but sadly for all the streets surrounding the Mcdonalds there were absolutely no street view coverage for 2013 in the area.
that was seriously a great idea thank you anyway!
@@sombertoboggly yeah, all three locations had street view coverage from 6 months before so really close. 😔
@@ToastyBro221 damn that sucks we were only 6 months off. i was just trying my luck with facebook posts from 2013 containing "fish mcbites" on the off chance there was a photo with the shrimp too but didn't find anything. a private facebook account could have a photo but the only way to find that would probably be by asking some wheaton/lombard page
James the cat was a crazy nostalgic call back for me. The PBS era of my childhood was so nice. This channel is going to explode soon I have no doubt. Thanks for the good content Kylie
There a now lost website/game called Petpetpark which I played hours of when I was little. There was also Spongebob Cartoon creator, another game I played which is lost media. So those are my connections with now-lost media.
the petpet park looks familiar, i might've played it briefly as a kid. i didn't play the spongebob cartoon creator though. always cool to hear about lost media from the era of our childhoods!
When the shrimp mcbites segment came up I thought it was weird at first because I definitely remember trying them or at least hearing about them, only to find out through this video that I don’t live very far from the McDonald’s locations mentioned in the video so that’s probably why I remember them😅
I find it so weird that in this era of digital media, things can still be lost. I guess a lot of it boils down to "we have it but can't release it because copyright" or "we erased it because we assumed nobody cared".
James the cat rings a bell for me as a British millennial that grew up duing the 90s, alongside William's wish Wellingtons and barney the dog that I had VHSs of but which I found on DVD in the 2000s
This was so fun, and I love the visuals you used throughout the video! It's always fun to see what kind of lost media different creators choose to talk about - everybody has such different interests but the world of lost media is so vast everyone has something to talk about.
Thank you for exposing Paz to more people. I remember watching that show with Brum right afterwards. (If you don't know who Brum is, you should look into it). I don't remember a whole lot of specific episodes outside of an animated segment of Paz giving a flower bouquet to his mom for mother's day while giving flowers out to his friends until only one was given to his mother. The only puppet bit I remember specifically is where Paz had to button up his pajamas the whole episode and when he did, they were all in the wrong holes. I once again have to thank you for this video and teaching me about how lost one of my cherished childhood tv programs were. I am definitely taking a look at more of your work!
just found ur channel and i love explorations into lost media/mysteries like this i appreciate the efforts to not make anything overly creepy like a lot of the other mystery channels do... can't wait for more content!
Great video as usual! Huge fan of these channels and it’s awesome to see someone new in the scene. Also great to get to know more about you through little tidbits in the videos, like your enjoyment of metal.
RIP Trevor🤘
This video was awesome! It especially made me happy to see James the cat being talked about, as I did see the reruns on sprout as well. I really hope the lost episodes are found soon in the future, because I actually did like watching those episodes!
I have an ancient James the Cat VHS somewhere, I should dig it out.
that's awesome, let me know if you find it!
Yes! Please do it! Hope it has the Arfur Mark episode. The last episode to be found in English in order for James season 1 to be completely found
@@blackcatcoffee4693 If I am able to find it I'll make it known I have it and which episodes it contains (it may only be the ones already available, I don't remember) and then if someone else can digitise it for UA-cam they're welcome to. That is not something I'd be able to do myself.
Your channel got recommended to me and I’ve gotta say. I’m impressed. For a smaller creator you sure dig deep and are a great narrator! Also digging your choices for background music and imagery! Can’t wait to watch your channel grow :)
Related to the Shrimp McBites: One of my favorite snacks from my early childhood were these baby biscuits made by Alete in collaboration with the Disney Babies franchise. These were sold in Germany in practically any supermarket/grocery/convenience store around the year 2000. I found nothing about these on the internet, not even on the Internet Archive. I could have contacted Alete itself (or other baby/toddler food brands) but I fear they wouldn't know about any former products from them by now anymore or'd be protective of/secretive about their archives. The biscuits themselves were your typical ladyfinger-type biscuits but had either some tiny Disney Babies logo or images along with some having the stylized "Alete" imprinted on them - I don't quite remember. I do know that the package was horizontal and had the stylized "Alete" written in blue with Baby Mickey, Baby Donald, and some other character sitting in front of or even holding some of the ladyfingers next to the aforementioned brand name.
It is one of the things from my childhood I remember both fondly and vividly, so the biscuits' existence way back the day is embedded in my brian. Looking for these and finding absolutely nothing is driving me insane. I really wish these is someone else who grew up in circa-2000 Germany having the same or better memories on what I am looking for.
hi kylie! i acutally just wanted to let you know that youtuber "tuv" was able to get into the bin laden file! he found a way to download it. he found a ton of records of games, but it was mostly just images. he did not mention animal crossing though, I just thought it'd be interesting to add!
another channel called Gumb0’s weird corner also did the same thing and gave more further details
@@dillberrystew6205 thank you for letting me know!
im so glad you reminded me of paz i felt like that gif of that chef guy from ratatouille remembering his childhood
James The Cat doesn't even have a wiki? That's a shame
I found your channel through this video and was so shocked to see your subscriber count you’re so underrated! Your videos are high quality and extremely entertaining I’ve been having a great time binging them keep up the amazing work :)
idk if it's just me, but all types of lost media (children's shows, args, creepypasta, etc.) kinda creep me out, especially the ones that haven't been solved. like where did it go, who lost it, and why can't they find it? idk maybe I'm just anxious lol
Your channel’s coverage of these topics is refreshing! The BMGs you use and your commentary makes it a little more comfier to watch the spooky or weirder topics you cover
Hoping for your success this year!
Also I recognized the use of Behelit around 11:40 so cheers to that
Agh! I meant BGM oh well
feels like this channel is catered to show me everything i didn’t know i needed. i love it! keep up the great work, and congrats on 20k!!!
i’m so glad i got this video in my recommendations, i was looking for some more channels that had quality lost media content and this fits the bill perfectly. i’ll definitely be staying tuned. on a side note i really hope that metal song gets found, i love power metal and that band sounds like they’d be one of my favorites.
Heeeyy, stepping into Lostwave with "The Fallen King"! Such a sick piece of music, my favourite piece of 1980s metal.
Thanks for playing it kylie, I hope it gets solved one day!
I had only heard of one of these before watching this (and that one I only learned about doing research for a video) and man are some of these interesting. Fallen King is probably my most wanted solution for these cases. While I hate shrimp, the Shrimp McBites ads are extremely interesting too. Keep up the good work.
It's amazing to see how much your channel has grown in such a short amount of time. Love your content!
That mysterious power metal song sounds so good, I hope the artist is found one day, because it sounds like classic US Power Metal!
Excellent video! Thanks for letting me know that Shrimp McBites are confirmed to have existed, and I'm going to go look up James The Cat.
I just wish r/lostmedia hadn't given me the cold shoulder when I asked bout the missing Stephen Colbert Mr. Goodwrench rubber cows commercial.
I found your channel like 3 weeks ago, please keep up the great work! Your videos are really interesting and you have a great voice for narration! Also I’m really enjoying your choices in background songs 😎
Such a refreshing lost media video! Usually you see the same few lost items over and over again in videos. Crazy because I've only heard of one out of the whole video, which is awesome!!
Literally the best internet mysteries channel. I specifically love the, like you said, innocuous mysteries. like nobody really would care about shrimp mcbites but I love uncovering all the little stuff and keeping it preserved !
I am glad youtube is starting to recommend smaller channels for me. I only found your channel 2-3 weeks ago and i binged all your episodes that day. I was happy to see i got a new episode today!
just found this channel yesterday and you’re def one of my new favs, good timing to sub a day before a new video drop
You showing the Paz Show unlocked that memory in my brain, I used to watch that often and completely forgot all about it until I saw that puppet
The Shrimp McBites thing is super interesting because that was served in my state and I had never heard of them. I don't even like shrimp but now I want to try them. Maybe they'll bring it back at some point.
A lost media search that has been personally driving me crazy are the Nickelodeon ads for "The Lost Episode Of Ren and Stimpy" which aired on the network roughly 2 weeks before the ultimate unveiling of the delayed first season episode combo of "Black Hole/Stimpy's Invention". I have been exhaustively documenting and researching every aspect of The Ren and Stimpy Show for over 15 years, and it seems this commercial that I recall seeing at least 10 times during that 2 week interval on the network before Black Hole/Stimpy's Invention aired has vanished into thin air and has never been saved or recorded, or surfaced on UA-cam, apparently.
The episode Stimpy's Invention is one of the most important and pivotal moments of the entire series, due to it's massively troubled production that saw it get delayed for months due to John K's antics which involved everything from constant fights with the network about it's content, to running off with the storyboards and re-drawing them while locked in a separate room at the Spumco animation studio at the last minute instead of sending them out, and many fights between his own staff due to his own demanding nature. It was because of all this that the episode got delayed and forced the creation of this commercial in the first place, which makes it's value significant.
Obviously in regards to the story of R&S, this episode and it's development is very important, thus it would be great to finally have a visual record of the advert aired on Nickelodeon for the episode's arrival, but no footage or any of the ad has surfaced, something I would very much want to put into a documentary.
The ad as it was, started out with the then prominent Nickelodeon commerical narrator saying "Just when you thought it was lost, Nick found it." and then proceeds to build up the episode as if it was some lost treasure that Nickelodeon found and were about to air as a special. They repeatedly refer to it as "The Lost Episode Of Ren and Stimpy" and asserts that "Only Nickelodeon Can Find What You've Been Looking For", leading to several seconds of the ad giving a preview of the "Happy Happy Joy Joy" song that the eventual released episode featured.
When setting out to try and include this in a documentary I was writing and wanted to edit, I found this commercial is nowhere on UA-cam or the Internet Archive or any other video site. Putting this ad and early preview of one of the most notable episodes of the entire show for reasons both in front of and behind the scenes into such a documentary would be a really huge get, but this advertisement/episode preview appears to be lost forever. I'm just hoping that SOMEONE who videotaped the network, especially around the time that this would have aired, has recorded evidence of it, but to this day I haven't found any.
Nice to see a well made lost media video that shows me things I haven't seen countless times before in similar content. Keep the good stuff coming, I'm definitely subscribing ✌🏻
I love your vids Kylie! I always love the TOMT and lost media stuff, also loved the video you did on the Wheel. Keep up the great content!
I love your channel so much, thank you so much for continuing to produce and share your content
With the shrimp mcbites, i would recommend calling those three locations to see if they have anything. There is a solid chance an employee took a photo of the shrimp, or they still have some of the packaging laying around since it was a very limited item!
Just discovered your channel and I’m surprised I wasn’t recommended to you sooner. Content is amazing, fun, interesting, and entertaining. Hope you find success soon, great stuff.
I'm so happy I recently found your channel. I love lost media and Reddit videos.
Omg James the Cat looks so cute! I hope we can find all the missing episodes
The shrimp mcbites mystery is gonna be hard to solve considering how small it was (only sold at 3 locations in 2 cities!)... But it'll be interesting if someone does find something!
Just found your channel and I love it, how you present the topics you talk about is fantastic and keeps me engaged the entire time. Can’t wait to see how far you go :)

Just wanted to say I've been binging your channel all day and it is some great stuff.
Excited for the next ones ^^
Wow, I haven't heard of any of these except the Everywhere At The End Of Time one. There's some real good stuff out there, and 2022 seems to have been a good year as far as finding lost media is concerned. Hopefully more cool finds will be made in 2023
I’ve been obsessed with finding all episodes of the tv show Sushi Pack! It’s nice to see such a well made talk about lost media. Btw, What songs are you playing in this video? Specifically I remember the outro song but idr the name or artist
here's a playlist of the songs used! also in order of when they played :) ua-cam.com/play/PLYPeGFjm5sY7lCCsoBAOG9NWYMzVtp_75.html
I just found your channel today as it was recommended but I really like the content, keep it up!
great video ! the commentary, the research and even the background footage / music is very nice im so glad i found this video and channel, hope to see more in the future! :)
YOURE SO UNDERRATED! i have the attention span of a worm but i can't stop watching ur videos. i can feel i'm gonna be watching u for years, can't wait for u to blow up :)
"The Fallen King" reminds me a bit of Manowar or Iron Maiden. Such a good song with great pacing, I'm hoping they can find whoever performed it.
Bro I got whiplash from hearing you talk about Paz. It was memory that was completely buried, and hearing the words Ready Set Learn and seeing the footage just completely unearthed it. I for sure have a VHS of it lying around somewhere that I used to watch a ton as a kid, I never knew it was lost media.
Been watching this channel for about 4 months now. And now that I come back to this I realized you should have more subs ‘cause this is criminally underrated.
I asked my dad, a metalhead who was a teen in the 80s, who he thought the fallen king song was, and he said his instinct says Queensryche but he says he remembers Queensryche being a bit heavier than that.
Oh my gosh; I’d completely forgotten about the Paz show until it appeared in this video! I had no clue any of it was lost media. I did have episodes recorded on my family’s TiVo (always preceding Magic School Bus episodes), but that was an old TiVo that I don’t have anymore… and I’m pretty sure my parents deleted the recordings.
That being said, I hope someone finds the lost episodes someday! It makes me sad to think of people’s hard work vanishing.
OMG THE PAZ SHOW I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REMEMBER THE NAME OF THAT FOR AGES!!! i'm so glad most of it has been archived omg.....great video as always!! ^^
I just wanted to say that I love your videos so much!
I'm binging your channel for a couple days now and you are one of the few people who actually cover stuff that hasn't been done before and in an interesting way
Keep up the amazing work!😁
Also sorry for any english mistakes because it's not my native language
damn, the day's gets better when I see you upload
down the rabbit holes I go
the mcdonalds one was so interesting! really different from a lot of lost media content, thanks for covering the more obscure stuff
Just at the right time! Your videos are so underrated, love your content!
That was a cool video, nicely put together and a couple of those cases were very interesting, like I never thought I'd be so invested in finding some information about a fast-food item that once existed, but it happened today.
I know this one obscure Finnish children’s show that not even all the kids my age remember. It’s called Viivi ja Leevi. It’s about these siblings called Viivi and leevi. Yle the Finnish version of bbc owns the show and has posted a short commercial and used to have it in their website. It’s gone now but there is this Vhs that I used to watch.
I could get the vhs for myself but don’t know how I could transfer it to internet
Edit: the show is really really important to me and I will start trying to search and ask the company who own it to release it from their archives. I will tell if I find it
Yeah, when it comes to northern European children's shows, the find gets hard. I remember Viivi ja Leevi, but found it creepy for some reason.
My own Finnish lost media is a tv show I had as a VHS tape. A show about a mime/clown with black and white striped shirt with black overals and red nose entertaining the duo of blond kids in a blue courtyard. He played a saw to them, made shows of him sailing, then it turns into a pencil drawn cartoon of his adventures. It seems to be 70-80's show, due to the artifacting.
It is sad how hard it is to find some media in Nordic countries, I have troubles even finding confirmation that Ilkka Villi did the Finnish dubs to Pokemon, when he is known as Alan Wake's protagonist's model.
Wow, I think I found my favorite lost media channel, without having nightmares after watching them.
Recently found your channel on a late night horror story binge, I love this shit. Keep up the good work
