Alot of Riley Reid’s Youtube videos
have been removed from her public channel..

@RileyReidx3

If I remember correctly, in her channel, she had many videos, today I discovered, only three are available.. The last time I visited, was probably over around two years ago.. I am also confused as to why I am the only one who discovered this on the internet, as she was fairly popular.. Is there any other available source to reach her old videos? Any feedback reply will be appreciated …

I notice a few oddities in EKT that bug me. I just partially transcribed a cleaned, voice only version of EKT into a very rough IPA timestamped transcript.

IPA like lyrics (text in brackets were not transcribed and are easily legible)

your canin on (invisable consinant, m?) ~~sh en~~ shape s in the (held "a") y

cʌt up [" in a world of lies"]

ever one ["knows that you got"] (taunting tone)

a te re ah ["motives"]

["tell me the"] tuu th

(vocoding effect subtly increased) e ver ver show

Interpretation of the above

~~your counting ~~on~~ all machine(s)/shape(s) in the sky

caught up in a world of lies

ever(y) one knows that you got

alterior motives

(tell me the truith) ever ver show

lyrics oddities.

  • for some reason she says "ever one" instead of "everyone".
  • the last line is not "ever(y) one shows", she is saying "ever" followed by "ver" followed by "show".
  • "truth" is pronounced like "tooth".
  • the vocoding effect increses slightly at the end of the clip, it is also perfectly cut. my theory is that is indicates a transition or ending.
  • comparing the two times "ever" is said

I remember it was made around early 2010s and was exclusive to the CBBC website.

It was a parody of Mama Do The Hump by Rizzle Kicks.

Only want to find it just so my brain doesn't keep telling me it's fake memory when I did indeed remember hearing it a few times. Nostalgia is a bitch I guess..

In 1995, the ABC sitcom Full House was cancelled, with the network citing increased production costs and the contracts of several main actors expiring as the reasons for cancellation. However, despite cancellation, there were ongoing negotiations to keep the show going on the new network The WB, though these plans never panned out, and Season 8 was the final season of the show.

However, there were allegedly several scenes for a planned Season 9 filmed during Season 8's production that were to be shown to WB executives as a test to see if they would want to pick up the show. But, several main cast members (Stamos, Cameron) wanted to move on and would either be merely recurring/guest characters or not appear at all, and The WB was only willing to hire one Olsen Twin to portray Michelle, so the plans fell through. The cancellation was pretty abrupt, as the "finale" (Michelle Rides Again) was not actually written to be one, so they had to add a few new scenes to give it some sense of finality, and some of the younger actors allegedly didn't even know the show was done until the final taping (which was NOT the final episode, but another episode in Season 8).

There were allegedly some set photos in an entertainment magazine of Season 9 in 1995, but beyond that, evidence of any footage seems to be lost. It very well may never have existed, but I've seen enough Reddit posts and YouTube videos talking about it to think that there might legitimately be something out there.

From an interview in 2017:

Björk has opened up about a lost collaboration with the Wu-Tang Clan. In a new interview with FACT Magazine, she discussed wanting to have RZA contribute beats to her 1997 album Homogenic. After that didn’t pan out, Björk flew to New York to meet the group. “We wrote a couple of songs together,” she said. “Sometimes when you do things and you don’t plan them it’s magic. And I really think what we made was magic. But I think because it wasn’t part of the whole Homogenic thing and it wasn’t part of what Wu-Tang were doing at the time, it was better as an idea, if that makes any sense?”
Björk added that she later connected with the group at an event at Tower Records. “I was signing books for an hour, and they sent some of their team, standing there with me,” she explained. “That was one of my all-time favourite moments: I had been on my own, so when they turned up I felt very protected. It was magic.” She continued, “In my eyes, they’re punk. We are definitely [similar]—we do things in, like, a ritual way.” Read the full interview here.

Has anyone heard of this / found anything? Not sure if related, but found this RZA remix of Bachelorette (from Homogenic), as a bonus track. Maybe it's related? :

[Mostly Lost] The Weekly Radio Address of President George W. Bush (parody from The Onion)

The Weekly Radio Address of President George W. Bush - parody

I downloaded these every week from The Onion long ago. They've been unavailable online for many years; even the Internet Archive was missing a lot of them. Which is a pity, because they're incredibly funny. Recently I assembled them into a single collection, filling in some of the gaps with supplements from the IA, and posted the whole collection. There are 40 files. As far as I know, this is the most complete archive available anywhere.

From Wikipedia:

"A CBS camera caught a disgusted Gumbel blurting out, "What a fucking idiot," just after he had finished a hostile interview with Robert Knight of the Family Research Council (FRC). The incident occurred at about 7:15 a.m. ET on Thursday, June 29, 2000, following Knight's appearance to defend the Boy Scout policy of excluding gays from being leaders. The Media Research Center reported that he uttered those words; Gumbel openly admitted to saying so when guest-hosting a June 2007 episode of Live with Regis and Kelly."

The Media Research Center's page on the incident, which includes a now-unplayable RealPlayer media file of Gumbel's alleged use of the word "fuck," is below:

Unfortunately, all I could find was this screenshot from the 2000 broadcast from the aforementioned page:

http://cdn.mrc.org/archive/stillshots/2000/gumbelslip.jpg

However, I do remember downloading it and being able to view it years ago. I downloaded the clip again recently, but am unable to get it to play on several media players I have tried. I've searched for it on all the usual video-sharing websites, but have come up completely empty of finding anything.

Pizza-biyori (ピザびより) was the short-lived Japanese mobile-only website and Gijinka character series by Pizza Hut.

Pizza-biyori featured the Gijinka characters of Pizza Hut's pizzas of the time, and the website contained various content featuring the characters, mainly Yonkoma webcomics.

There were six characters in Pizza-biyori:

  • Mayo-Q-tan (based on Mayo-Q)
  • Mushroom-tan (based on Bacon Mushroom)
  • Kani-Ebi-tan (based on Kani-Ebi (crab and shrimp))
  • Bulgogi-tan (based on Bulgogi)
  • Seafood-tan (based on Seafood)
  • Deluxe-tan (based on Deluxe)

The site ran from July to September 2007 and was inaccessible from a PC. The Wayback Machine hasn't archived everything, and only a little information can be found in a Wikipedia article and a Nico Nico Pedia article.

In the mid-to-late 2010s, a YouTube channel named Daniel Walterbury posted comedic bait-and-switch logo parodies claiming to be "high quality logo captures" in the same manner as SiIvaGunner, a comedic music collective known for "high quality rips" of video game music. After making several non-parody videos consisting of various TVCs and fictional television IDs (mostly FOX) around 2020, Daniel removed all of his videos from his channel. According to TheMossbergMan's comment on my "Where are they now?" post on Reddit, Daniel is currently contributing rips for SiIvaGunner. Currently there are only a few videos to be found, most of which are the parodies of the PBS and Viacom logos. Almost all of his Viacom parodies have been re-uploaded to the Internet Archive.

So a few channels that spring to mind were UltraJman and Mas n Vic, there's also Tatsudoshi but most people know that one.

The former did a few lets plays like IWBTG, Cave Story, Metroid Fusion, and I recall Mega Man 7 being one as well, but those have been gone for many years and aside from a cut down upload of IWBTG they haven't been found anywhere.

The other was a channel called Mas n Vic, which featured a guy from TheZeldaDungeon https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtldOMW0pKAgMkdq8Z6I2KA

doing small reviews of games like Cybernoid and Wii Sports, that channels been dead and wiped for the better part of a decade. Here's an archive.org link https://web.archive.org/web/20080705173220/http://www.youtube.com/user/MASnVIC

If anyone knows of these lemme know, or even better if one had links archived but I sincerely doubt these'll turn up, especially that second one.

EDIT: User ClementJ642 also has a few videos that are totally gone, like vlogs, wrestling videos, and a few others, I got a couple backed up to Archive.org and a few people sent some stuff, but plenty is still lost.

There's also the user HarvesterofEyes,who originally covered an assortment of strategy RPGs, so Fire Emblem, Shining Force, Tactics Ogre, even some obscure ones like on the Game Gear. He eventually ended up wiping both his channel and his website SRPGAcademy, and aside from a scant upload of four videos, there's basically no traces left. channel was here
