OKAY NO MORE REUPLOADS. Its alive, and so am I. It was re-uploaded because my editing software messed up some of the audio transitioning multiple times throughout the video. Some of you may have noticed it, but it really bugged me personally.
Also, here's all the songs I used for this video: th-cam.com/video/S2fhp52riek/w-d-xo.html
Welcome Back Jorge!!!
Ayyy man
😏😏
Have you ever heard of rocket powers pilot being only viewable at a place called the Paley Center
I miss Mumkey Jones
i'm kinda laughing at the fact that they had a five year search for this video and then someone found it on youtube
literally under the name "pinwheel clock man." maybe they renamed it but god if they didnt then the entire internet deserves a slap on the wrist for not literally just googling it
facts
aaa uploaded the english version and added the keywords 'pinwheel clock man' to it after they realized people were looking for it with that title. i promise it was much more elusive before the discovery!
oh yeah yeah
Putting it that way, it sound like a skit and the TH-cam video discover was the punchline.
I like how the biggest twist was that it wasn't a creepypasta.
Omegagreen Labs i was low key disappointed
Smells Like Candle Cove Spirit
Huh
i liked that twist
It's not a twist if everyone knows
“WE ARE GOING TO FIND CLOCKMAN TONIGHT”. Narrator:”They would not find clockman that night”
@Mister lopa Lopah thank you
Narrator: It would take five years to find it.
"But clockman... found them, tonight."
Your pfp is cursed
"But Commander Santa...did not, forget."
I'm convinced if we gave the people of the internet enough adderall we could completely reconstruct the library of Alexandria

it's interesting how your brain distorts memory over time.
ikr
I know ... I have a sibling who's close to my age. We watched a lot of TV growing up, and when I talk about those shows this sibling often corrects details I misremember. It's amazing how certain I can be about a detail that never existed.

Recently my mom got a game with 3 crash bandicoot games remastered, and I thought we already got it for the same game, she claimed it was for a different console, I think it was around the same time we got the game
It honestly scares me a little that our memories can be so wrong or completely off the mark that it's almost like a memory of a memory (if that makes sense lol) There are so many things from childhood that I was certain about and then when I rewatch or hear about it again later it'll turn out to be completely different than I remember. Also the further we get from childhood the more our memories become fuzzy and it kind of scares me to think I might be misremembering some of my favorite memories
That's the fun of this stuff, you just want to see how different it was from how you remember it.
The OP said it was a little boy, heh
“We are going to find Clock Man TONIGHT”
5 years later
And they DID get him the next time. The end.

It's true, I'm the picture.
This is a really excellent case study in how the human memory becomes warped.
That's often the biggest problem with finding Lost Media:
People misremembering plot points.
Mandela Effect.
That's how his mind interpreted it as a child. Totally understandable
my guess is that their brain combined two shows together and mistook them for one
It really is, this video really showcases it well and it could be used as a genuine example. I mean, even me myself, I'm only 18. There have been several times my memory of certain stuff I remember as a little child is pretty damn different from the actual thing...the animation style, character design, even voices change in my brain.

Ok but that description of the short where the clockman does a dance when he comes out of the clock is hilarious to me. Like imagine waking up in the middle of the night and seeing some random old dude breakin' it down at the foot of your bed
That would be funny
i wouldve started dancing too
Imagine being the guy who stumbles on this mystery and then just finds it on youtube. Came late to the game and then just cracked the case wide open that easily.
It happens a lot
I mean,
From a lot of other lost media I heard about ended up like this so am I not really surprised
Nickelodeon wanted the viewers to forget...
BUT THE VIEWERS.... DID NOT FORGET.

@Angelique lmaoo
I can honestly relate, and I think those redditors had it right all along. He remembered this cartoon while he was mad sick with flu (and presumably fever)
I remember being about 6-7 years old and similarly mad sick with flu. I'm talking 105-106 temperature shivering underneath a blanket fever. I actually had to go to the hospital to get covered in ice because I was getting delirious - but that's besides the point.
Anyway at the time my brother was watching Air Bud on the TV while I was in the depths of my fever nightmare. I still remember near the end of the movie when everyone is cheering for him for winning the tournament match or whatever. The fever twisted that moment in time for me and it felt like they were screaming and cheering for HOURS.
I still occasionally get shivers when I hear a cheering crowd, so strong is the fever dreams of a child to imprint a totally normal situation in shades of nightmarish horror.
i wANT tO gO hoME
This entire thing just screams, “I know a guy who knows a guy”
𝓨𝓔𝓢
Why do you say that?
It’s like an episode of Pawn Stars lol
I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows, Kevin Bacon

rick and morty in a nutshell " a grown man steals the child, and brings him to scary places".
True lmaooo

this is so accurate it hurts
Child: *sleeping peacefully*
Clockman: we don't do that here
Nah I’m sure he’s just some creepy old man who likes to go into peoples rooms and kidnaps them

Imagine looking for something for years only to end up finding it on TH-cam.
This is why I always go on youtube first cause am like "millions of people upload they gotta have this"
Yes I did and it appeared on my recommended.
Like The Fairly Odd Parents Webisodes of Crimson Chin and Cleft the boy chin wonder....oh wait. Well they are there but poor quality
This happened to me with some weird McDonald's audio tape from the 80s. Sadly most of it still appears to be lost, but the theme song of the tape was found and preserved on TH-cam.
900th like nice
Nickelodeon has a lot of lost media.
They have a bad habit of erasing their own shows’ existence, especially when they cancel perfectly good and promising shows.
One that I thought was lost is called Sports Cartoon. It's on here and it was on videotape.
Right up there with the early BBC guys. "Nobody is ever going to care about this weird kids scifi show. Burn all the negatives, we need space." This why we're missing *a lot* of early Dr. Who eps. A lot of the ones we've found were "rescued" from the big burn by studio employees who were "given them as a bonus".
@@athena8794 Dr. Who came out in the 60's. There was almost no concept of Home Video in those days, Home Video didn't become household till late 1970s early 1980s. The mindset of the people before then was "it's just tv, it's not important." If you told the BBC people then that people in the future would be trying to look for these episodes, they'd be really shocked or confused and think your lying, and likely say it's just cheap science fiction.
@@Jiji-the-cat5425 oh, I know. It was a perfectly understandable viewpoint back in the day. In hindsight, however...
I really want to watch the classic series as a huge DW fan, sad that so many 1st and 2nd doctor stories are completely lost to time@@athena8794
This is hilarious. I lived pinwheel. And this was an episode I taped on VHS, and watched over and over and over. I wish I would have been on that board, I could have solved it that night. It also has the Garfield Christmas special and the IT miniseries on lol. I was an odd kid.
Wow that’s crazy
based tape
Cool you got creepy taste 😎
Can you upload your vhs content to TH-cam
Upload it
this is the most extreme version of when you finally find a song from just a couple lyrics
Like when I was trying to find Cross My Heart by A Teens.
More like a single word.

And then the clockman was smiling too...
I SMELL HERESY
It was Felix's fricking chamber
Lol
Eastern Europe: "This tale is perfect for children!"
American Children: *Trauma for life*
His memories weren't that altered, he just remembers what impacted him as a child. The same way a kid and an adult would process the same thing in totally different ways.
Stuff like this is so fascinating to me. It's so cool how much we grow as people.

The most amazing part to me every time I watch this is just how spot on Michael Howe's description was
Man was a small child when it aired and still got a damn near perfect retelling of the story from memory
Really just remembered the gloves as shoes
the internet searching for clockman is like me when im trying to find a song i heard in a video
Surprisingly accurate...
I hate how accurate that is 😂

Braystad quote of the year
I was about to say the same thing! 😂
Lol big facts
The second guy who said the wizard had a bowler hat and a black turtle neck and a wicked smile got the wizard mixed up with Bowler Hat Guy from Meet the Robinson's. Because the Bowler Hat Guy had the exact description and there are certain shots throughout the movie that make the Bowler Hat Guy look like he has green skin when really he has white skin.
LOL that's funny
Meet the Robinsons is underrated tbh
Meanwhile, I was terrified as a child by seeing part of "Fantastic Planet". For years, I thought it couldn't possibly have been as creepy and surreal as I remembered. And then I found it again, and it was even *weirder*.
What part of it?
There's a ped0philic subtext to that film that I would NOT have caught onto if I'd seen it as a kid
I thought I had seen Fantastic Planet but it was actually their other film, Gondohar.
Expectation: A terrifying short that deserved to be lost
Reality: some guy who chills in a clock
😂😂😂
He's not just chilling in a clock, he was about to kidnap her to teach her the importance of honesty. A very weird kind of wholesome.
@@Targisvear wholesome and weird, my favorite genre
Glockman:i Just want to do my weed in my clock 😔
you have to remember, put yourself in the perspective of being a kid and remembering that stuff out of context
Lost or cancelled media are always the most fascinating to me.

@@burningexeter4365 I feel the Same. I like how it gives you adrenaline just wondering and thinking about it.
Me too
I went as Clockman for Halloween and I got punched in the face by a dad. I really wonder why
Depends, how exactly did you dress?
This case remind me the infamous creepypasta story "Candle Cove" more than any other lost media case that I have ever seen until now. It's like a real life Candle Cove with a good ending, lol
The creepiest thing about it isn't even the short, it's how everybody who remembers it remembers it differently, yet, the end result is the same (a wizard in a clock who takes a child to a weird world.)
Thats pretty common. Just talk to your friends about an event that happened in your childhood together and everybody will remember details or entire scenarios that the others dont remember at all / really differently. For example who was there / where it happened /...
@@campeao36 I don't think it's common to that extreme
Yea there’s definitely a confabulation affect going on. Ppl who remember it probably combined their own memory of the show with some books or other animated shorts they might’ve seen around that same time.
@@MischieviousJirachi it's actually really common. The human mind is highly unreliable. The more vividly you remember something, the more likely that you're misremembering.
Mischievious Jirachi
Fun fact: Your most vivid memory probably never happened or you remembered it wrong.
I remember watching Family Guy and I had a clear memory that one of the side characters wore a navy blue bikini. Years later I watched the same episode and the side character actually wore a black bikini.
I went through something like this lol. When I was little I watched a video of a “dancing man with no eyes” that haunted me until I got older and turned out it was just 2D from gorillaz..
LMAO
Same here dude i was haunted by the Feel Good inc music video when it was played on a commercial for an NTWICM album back when I was a little kid
I was absolutely terrified of this video of a person in a kung fu panda costume with a scary smile dancing. I watch it now and it's hilarious.
i remember the feel good inc video freaking me out as a kid and when i found it later on, it was so surreal.
OH goodness this is great XDD
i watched the Clint Eastwood vid as a child and i loved it,...i thought it was just some random animated short, but just 8 years later i found out Gorillaz is a band and now it's one of my favorites
Nick never showed Clockman after it first aired hoping the viewers would forget.
But the viewers... did not, forget.
Clockman walks into the house - "Sally? Are you here?"
Chris Hansen steps out from behind a curtain - "Please have a seat right there."
Kidnaps him and takes him on some terrifying adventure
Sounds like Rick and Morty to me
Right?
Ikr, btw I love Rick and Morty
Jeezz rick
The Clockman walked so Rick And Morty could run
That was the first thing I thought of when I heard it.
as i went to bed without watching the video youtube recommended me, i thought they would forget about it.
but youtube did *NOT* forget.
TH-cam *NEVER* forget
BadWolf Harriman bruh😂
that was a fun time for you huh
Wow probably the best comment I’ve red on youtube 😂
@BadWolf Harriman TH-cam will remember that.
It’s interesting how a lot of people remembered the little girl as a little boy- it just goes to show that the kids watching this (some of them boys) really put themselves into the story- like the clock man was coming after them 🥺🥵
I mean to be fair, based on the context:
Since the OP misremembered some details because both people haven’t seen the short who knows how long. I can’t blame them for misremembering the child’s gender.
Yeah totally cant be simply misremembering somethings. Sometimes its just simple the designers not coming across like freddi fish.
Its the desperate need to validate the transes.
@@lindinle Nobody was talking about trans people, you're the only one? Sounds like you're just weirdly obsessed with us, cos all that was brought up was that a lot of male people who watched the short seemed to misremember the girl character as a boy. They're saying that since the viewer was male, they're misremembering the character's gender because they themselves were male and kinda default to that.
Quiet down and quit being weird. It's infecting your brain and you're seeing problems where there are none. Go take a break from TH-cam and Twitter.
@@lindinlewhat does any of this have to do with that
Child: *sleeps*
Clockman: *YOU PICKED THE WRONG GLOVES FOOL*
The most creepiest thing about this video is youtube's persistence on wanting to me to watch this.
dude same why you want me to watch this youtube
@@leviathanchan1915
I mainly watch music videos, jazz backing tracks, anime, and gaming videos.
I am baffled as to why TH-cam thought this to be so important rather than recommend, I don't know, more DanPlan.

Does anyone else genuinely love the story telling in this video and keeps coming back every so often to watch this
I listen to the story of clockman so much. There’s just something about the way people worked hard to solve a mystery that’s so satisfying as a tale from the internet.
Maybe the real Clockman was the friends we made along the way.
dotexe 🤣🤣🤣

I love this

Lmao

I love how in the end, Nobody, not even OP accurately described the short but we found it anyway.
Michael Howe was actually pretty spot on, the only detail he got wrong was the shoes instead of gloves. But yeah, the rest were way off; I’m pretty sure the second guy was thinking of an entirely different cartoon
To be fair. The op said they were sick so they probably only remember faintly what it was considering they also probably saw this in mid 1980s (based off time of original release along with when pinwheel was airing) the second person just sounds like a troll though
Memories get warped over time. You really can't count on your brain to recall certain events in perfect detail. xD
Pretty sure there wasn't a single clockman, it was an amalgamation of different pieces of media, elegant sally was just the missing piece from the mismatched memories that made up clockman.
sir this is youtube
It's so interesting to see how people mix, blend or warp details of past events in their memories. Interesting, and frankly scary, given how many trials and historical events often rely on human memory.
Thanks for taking the time to sort through all of these old threads, and give us a timeline of this discovery. It was really interesting to follow!
I wasn’t even alive back then but for some reason the “clock man” character looks really familiar to me. Weird, just gave me the chills.
he looks like bootleg hagrid
That happens to me sometimes.
It reminds me of the blue meanie from yellow submarine
Same
Gaspard Savoureux dang you beat me to it
It's so weird how you can search something that you know for sure exists, but no search results are found. Creepy, like it is hidden.
exactly I saw this short story but then it just disappeared like what!
the scariest part is how easily things can just get lost to time...there's stuff from my childhood that i vividly remember but there's no physical evidence of them ever having existed, just the memories in my mind. it's really eerie for some reason
@@r4ndom7000 yo sameee, i remember telling my older sister some part of our childhood when we play together and she said that it never happened and i was so confused because im 100% sure it happened.
It's called demonitization
yoda apologist I used to play a game with my sister and one day the disk just disappeared and now I am the only one in my whole family that remembers its existence
I remember when I was active on The Flood back in the day. The Clock Man thread was so popular that it was pinned on the forum's sidebar. Never thought I'd ever actually see it. Also amazed how it had just been sitting on TH-cam in plain view.
As someone with a Czech father, I have heard all kinds of stories from things he was told as a kid. He didnt have enough money to watch tv, but that didnt stop him from listening and reading stories. While he nevee told me this story, he had told me so many others. For thos wondering why eveeything is so terrifying, Czech is just like that. There was a fable of a green woman that, if you walked through the woods, or something like that, she woukd drown you in a lake or eat you. Czech, especially in those times, instilled measages through fear.
I see why,didn’t Czechia also come up with ratafak
@@LaborwaveLenin no, that was slovakia
That's what every fairy tale was like in the past. Americans just felt the need to remove everything "scary". Disney literally took Beauty and the Beast and turned the Beast into a cute cuddly animal.
@@cooks37 Everytime I hear stories that originated in European countries, I couldn't help but compare it to their American adaptations, which looked like they sandpapered off a lot of things. I get they're doing it for localization, but I couldn't help but think that the Hays Code probably influenced those adaptations.
This seems like it could be a Regular Show episode
Oh man! I could imagine this 😆

It's funny because the lost "Clockman" animation wasn't even scary at all. Commander Santa's imagination must have twisted it all around into something terrifying when he was a little bitty boy.
He was sick and only a kid.
I saw some elements that came off as creepy, especially for a kid, and the mind can twist scary memories to make it seem worse. It happened twice to me, rediscovering old films and feeling angry that what I remembered is a lot worse then what was actually on screen.
@@TheBronyBraeburn
I can really relate to that! lol
@@AWlpsSHOW36 same. I used to cry if my parents put E.T. on....
Honestly, it has some creepy aspects, such as the Clockman smiling after taking the kid. It was eerie and seemed Pedophile-y.
I kind of wonder if Clockman was unintentionally the inspiration for the design of Ice King. I think Pen Ward would've been the right age to have seen this as a kid, and it's clearly something that sinks into your subconscious.

Here we go agian with news trump and all this American bullshit
What do you mean "this level" of investigation? It was on TH-cam the WHOLE time. Lmao.
if they made schoolwork this interesting we’d all be geniuses.
I’ve taken notice after watching the short, that nobody really rememberd the really adorable and sweet story. I understand why because as children scary things make an impression on us and until we get closure by watching it when you’re older it’s going to haunt you. And the only really scary part was the clock part since the music became reallly eerie but all in all it’s an adorable and very nice short. Its facinating that things we see leave more of an impression then things we hear
As someone who saw this on TV as a child and was terrified, yeah
I like how it turned out this animated short was actually pretty wholesome
was it found?
I remember seeing this short as a kid. During the beginning of this video, it seemed rather familiar, but didn’t stir any memories. As we got to the end of the video, and all the details were being given, I could remember things about it as well. Pinwheel was one of my favorites growing up, and after watching the full video on AAA’s channel, I remembered it entirely. The original person seeking the video sure got frightened easily, as the story is pretty good, and gives a good lesson, and the girl (Sally) wasn’t really that scared of the wizard, either.
When I was maybe four, I saw a horror version of Snow White, set in a post-apocalyptic world. It scared me shitless. Years later, I learn it's a cheesy indie animated film called "Happily Ever After," full of cheesy '80s animation. I tried watching it in college for nostalgia's sake, but it was just too stupid. Isn't it funny how our perceptions are so different as children?
@@lizzychrome7630 I mean, when you are kid, everything in the world is scary. It doesn't help that the imagination is extremely high during those years.
Often times something with cheap effects such as old old stop motion is nightmare fuel for young children, this has happened to me many times when I saw something as a young child and was terrified by the animation style warping my memory of it in the future, making me think it’s much more terrifying than it actually is, this happened to me with robot chicken episodes I saw at age 7 and some other things I don’t really remember the name of

This "lost media" genre is amazing. I had the problem myself over two things. Unico in the Island of Magic (I could only remember people being turned into dolls) and The People's Choice (mannequin comes to life). Those took me YEARS (before the internet was useful).
I went down a similar rabbit hole searching for an early 80s cartoon, with super creepy dissonant background music. I remember the story started with a woman wanting a big house, then she kept wanted more, until one day, dark clouds pouring rain and hailing thunder bolts, she dressed as the pope and was sitting atop a golden building challenging God and prepared war with the heavens, the story abruptly ends with her back to village on a sunny day wearing her farmers attire.
You're most likely looking for an adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's poem titled Сказка о Рыбаке и Рыбке (The Tale of The Fisherman and the Fish). The most popular version (with its original Russian audio) is this one:
m.th-cam.com/video/jFtFAPlPyxE/w-d-xo.html
EDIT: other adaptations exist, but the specific one you're looking for should be easy to find by looking up the title of the poem
She was the fisherman's wife. He would catch a magic fish that would grant a wish in exchange for being let go. Fisherman would wish for whatever his wife wanted. At the end, I think the fisherman said something like, "She wants to be the richest person in the world." The fish said, "Go home, she has her wish." Everything returned to normal, because that was the "richest" life they could have.
@@sophieauguste1786 You're correct about the story. But I think the version he was talking about was paper animation. I remember seeing it. The fisherman only wanted to make his wife happy, so he kept catching the same wish-giving fish. When he'd go back home to her, things got more and more ornate and fancy.
@@occupationalclique6533 It's possible, it's quite a popular story - with many people putting their spin on it. I just chose the 1950 version because it did have that "distorted music" mentioned in the comment, as well as the expensive headdress the woman puts on at some point resembling the Pope's tiara, since that's what the author of the original comments also remembers
And after all that,
*_it was on TH-cam_*
Edit: wtf i have literally no memory of writing this?? I thought I was watching this video for the first time but apparently I've watched it before.

To be fair they were kids when they first saw it

ain't that just the way
This proves that humans can do anything if they work together.
Nah. It only proves that we can't help ourselves when we are presented with a mystery. It must be solved.
T Prime I agree.
The Capture the Flag game with /pol vs Shia prooves it also.
OoOo such an achievement.... lul

Imagine the happiness in that dude, like after 5 years some random person messages you and says "hey i found what you were looking for" such a wholesome story from such a horroristic beginning
Make that like 9 years

Any examples? Maybe some of us can help you find it.

The thing with that is you remember vivdly for a few minutes to a few days, but forget until years later you remember it again.
i feel like i vaguely remember watching something with a very similar character to clockman. this was back in elementary school.
it was based on artwork, as i was in an art class, and we were talking about famous painters like leonardo de vinci. the kids basically went back in time to learn more about de vinci and i think the character was either presented to be de vinci or a man who made the whole time travel thing possible just so the kids could learn.
idk, i never thought it was all that creepy, but after seeing this made it WAY more creepier than it originally was.
The best part about this is that all of the descriptions more or less match if you assume poor TV quality, existing in a sort of fuzzy superposition between them all, but leaning most heavy towards green skin, a cloak, and beard.
*skips to random part in the video* as czech republic was a communist nation-
Czech was better off that way. The Soviet's were the only ones who actually cared, and saved them.
@@lws7142 lol
@@lws7142 Saved them? Saved them from what exactly? As far as I know they just occupied the country for 23 years. Thousands of people fled the country to the west because of it. Jan Palach burned himself alive to protest against the occupation! Doesnt sound to me like the kind of stuff people do when you supposedly save them.
@HalfExotic Well, the short animation the video speaks of is from 1976. During this time Czechoslovakia was occupied by soviet forces ( and a few others ) from 1968 to 1991.
@@lws7142 You are trolling, aren't you?
Actually, Czechoslovakian cartoons were pretty much on crack
No samozřejmě.
You remember when Tom and Jerry was temporarily outsourced to Chezchoslovakia?

I remember, it might be late 90s early 2000, czech pupet show was airing on regional tv station in Serbia. It was something with Hurvínek, and altho he is a cute doll now, he gave me nightmares when I was a child...
Also, hubgarian animated show (Gustav or something)...

No then it’d be that scene from uhh halloween? I forgot.

Memories are so strange.
We can remember some details perfectly, but others get twisted and altered by time and are mind itself.
It's crazy, if I had a dollar every time I saw something or heard something from the past only to have it be totally different than what remembered I'd be rich.
That's the Mandela effect for you

Yup, even before I knew what it was called I definitely felt it's effects.
Time makes fools of us all.
@@lisachiappetti6092 I believe this is not the description of the Mandela effect
@@lisachiappetti6092 No it's not. Mandela is everyone remembering something a certain way only for it to have changed.
Off-topic question, but is it weird that the concept of lost media haunts me? For some reason, it just makes me so paranoid.
“But don’t quote me on that” *immediately quotes him on that*
OMG!!! I TOTALLY REMEMBER THIS CARTOON. I watched Pinwheel all the time as a kid, I totally forgot about this until now. THANK YOU!
NO WAY, so happy you found and ending. This was GREAT. THANKS JORGE!!!
Alright TH-cam, I’ll watch this damn video. Leave me alone now.
was on my recommended for like everyday geez hahaha
Dude it's been there for like a month now I just can't take it
it actually made me mad, but i dont regret waching it

Funny how one person contacted many members of Pinwheel's production team for a period of years and never got anywhere, yet another was able to find the short just by visiting an archive website and clicking on a TH-cam link.
It just shows how little some networks know about the material they are airing.
Half of me says: "we should document all discontinued pieces of media and have a public archive so it wouldn't get lost."
The other half of me says: "no we shouldn't or maybe we could have a few obscure videos about the subject to have more of these kinds of treasure hunts and make them a little bit more interesting."
Traumatized by an animation from Czechoslovakia. Kids in USA were really sheltered even back in the day.
He was sick
A young kid who was sick and bed ridden, sees a creepy cartoon and gets scared. And he's sheltered?
According to that thumbnail, I think we should leave clockman alone
Clockman is Harry Potter
Clockman is a clock blocker
I remember the clockman story on the Minecraft forums, man, those were the days when everybody thought herobrine was real and slenderman ruled supreme.
What about Candle Cove am I seriously the only person who knows about that weird show that aired on channel zero?
@@religiousdogma3677 Could'a sworn I show this spongebob episode where squidward kills himself..
@@memesarekeem You mean that creepypasta suicide squidward?

I remember being a little girl and being petrified if herobrian. Now that I'm older, I prank my little brother with creepy herobrian things.
These kinds of trying to remember a blurry memory stories are the most thrilling ones.
just makes you realise how many clock themed characters are out there. first thing i thought of was the clockmakers dream.
