Having nightmares for years over a childhood traumatic edutainment game and then a full playthrough popping up because an anonymous user just so happened to find a box of different edutainment games, that's just such a neat coincidence to me honestly.... Lost Media as a community is so humbled since we all just want best for archival purposes and reassurance that 'Yea that one weird game/show you only laid witnessed to once is REAL' ♡
I think the fact that some of old screamers/virus/whatever old internet has up to is unconfirmed makes it more unsettling and paranoid-esque, especially knowing that the chance of something get lost now is as much as in the old internet has
fr everytimes someone finds some lost media stuff all they do is saying that they have it on something like reddit but like refuses to actually post it and just are just "im going to sell it but you can't post it on the internet"
People are always concerned with trying to make money, and not preserving the media for the sake of preservation. I get it, times can be tough, but a lot of people are just downright greedy. I wish it was different in this field.
I really enjoy the calm atmosphere you gave with this video, so many youtubers nowadays make these kinds of video essays overfilled with memes, pop culture, and generally being annoying, thank you for being different
I still have almost all my old phones and laptops from when I was a kid and teenager. I wanna go through and see if there is any lost media I might have downloaded at some point. I feel like if everyone tried this, we'd probably come up with some stuff!
@@Yominication One of my old computers would randomly download png files from websites for some reason. Most of the time it was profile pics but it downloaded other stuff too. I could never figure out why it did that or how to make it stop doing that. That would be a fun computer to look on for lost media
I keep every phone I've ever had, I've probably got some circa-2015 or earlier stuff on my old devices. I used to have a Windows 7 laptop that had a whole bunch of stuff on it, but I accidentally erased it with a magnet years ago (I still have nightmares about that)
I have a lot of the "missing" shows on old VHS tapes. I had only two TV channels at my mom's, so I'd set my VCR to tape shows at my dad's house so I could watch them later. Of course I can't have the unaired episodes, but somewhere in my boxes of old VHS tapes are the episodes of old shows that did air.
If you can you should try digitalizing them (if you still have the tapes and are in good condition) since some of them if not all of them might be still lost so if you can digitize them that would be great
Even if you can't digitize them a recording of it playing on the TV would satisfy so many people, if you get it properly digitized the internet archive is a great place to put it, they have a whole section just dedicated to vhs recordings off TV with add breaks included.
I used to work on a team that made flash games for frito lay and pepsi brands… so like Pepsi, Mountain Dew, chester cheetah, etc etc. A lot of those are lost to time as well. It’s heartwarming that anyone is looking for any old flash advertising game, I liked that segment a lot. Thanks.
One of the most fascinating things to me when it comes to lost media is the recording of the first Moon landing. Of course, that iconic scene of Neil Armstrong standing on the Moon is one of the most preserved images in history, and probably will be so for quite a while. However, you may have noticed that the actual recording is pretty low quality compared to later missions. This is because unlike later missions, Apollo 11 did not send a signal that was compatible with the NTSC standard used in the US. To solve this problem, NASA set up a camera and pointed it at a TV screen in Parkes (which is the receiver in Australia that received the video signal from the Moon) and used that as the NTSC signal. However, it is believed that a recording of the original signal exists. Which, if it does, would show Apollo 11 like we have never seen it before.
@@starleaf-luna The original broadcast was sent in a format that was made specifically for the purpose i would assume, then converted to PAL at Parkes, because well, their power grid ran on 50Hz, not 60, and this wasn't the digital era. They were then supposed to convert it into NTSC and send it back to the US, but due to converter troubles, they just recorded the screen with a camera.
That Music Pets one is extremely sad. You have this wholesome and genius flash game that got super popular real quick... only for it to be shuttered in less than a year.
Watching this just makes me realize that a lot of lost media that people care about are targeted towards children. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's interesting to think about.
i think it's because kids don't think about the fact that their favorite cartoon may go missing, so they don't bother to record it. they just kinda live in the moment as all kids should.
As someone who actively works on preservation, a lot of the drive is nostalgia & seeking answers about childhood. I’ve gone on many a search for media from when I was a child because I wanted to know if my memory was hazy or not.
I usually try to remember some of the ones from old consoles to spike my memory. For example, I remember not knowing this cars laptop about learning for a while until I found out it was from vtech and Ik this isn’t much, but it always is a good feeling when I finally have some peace and comfort knowing I wasn’t crazy when I do find out about what I used to remember over that, games, or any media.
i think a large part of it is that adults don't generally think children's media is worth preserving. children's media usually has no interest for adults and is considered to lack artistic or historical value, so no-one bothers with it, yeah? and, as an earlier commenter mentioned, kids usually don't even think about it. so it goes missing.
Huge props to you for bringing a ton of new content to the lost media discussion. I feel like a lot of videos tend to mention the same 30 or so cases and you did a great job bringing so many I haven't seen or heard of into the discussion!
I like how you included all topics not just the ominous, mysterious or creepy stuff. Because obviously the other ones are not as involving or interesting as the other ones. But you stayed true to your content and did not try to fish for views. Good for you. I appreciate your effort in making this video.
There has to be a lot of lost edutainment media if I had to guess- I'd say a lot of them just are aimed at such a young age of kid that those who played them would easily forget them when they got older, or at least forget enough details to make them trackable. I particularly think this to be the case with the freebie demo discs they passed out in cereal boxes and gave away in kids meals in the early 2000s.... It seemed like they were all over the place, and since they were free there was no reservations in throwing them out.
Man, I’ve got a personal connection with the Seiko Wallet AD. Well, more like two. Both of my parents lived through exactly that era when the commercial was running, to the point they even suggested buying me a proper leather bill-fold when I had to replace my kiddy velcro wallet. I wouldn’t have thought much of the jingle until you mentioned that the original AD essentially disappeared over the years. Now with that context, I more appreciate the little things my parents mention as they may be the only ones close to me to remember.
YOOOO I REMEMBER THE BART PUSH POP!! I always picked the Smarties one over it bc it was tastier, but my brother often preferred the Bart and I enjoyed the novelty of it more than the Smarties. You unlocked a core memory for kid me lmao
One thing of lost media I crave to see are the homebrew channel contest submissions. Before the Wii homebrew channel had its final theme, there was a music contest held and the winner would have their tune be used in the channel. Almost all of the contestants had their submissions uploaded to a site that was taken down, and I can’t find any backups.
as a south african couple we can honestly say we have never heard of interster (interstellar) so thanks for informing us on our own lost media...throughly enjoyed it...
I saw the Waluigi foot game listed on an iceberg and I assumed it was one of those creepy "for kids" unlicensed flash games, or bizarre fetish games. I had no idea it was an officially licensed Nintendo product!
If you look closely in the bottom right corner of that episode of Ricky’s Room, there’s a logo that says NTV. That’s the Newfoundland Canada provincial station. Probably one of the most obscure TV networks lol... I’m a Newfoundlander, seeing that made me completely trip out. That means that one if not more of the only recordings of this Ricky’s Room show were taped by one of us... There ARE lost media fans aside from me on this isolated rock... And it aired here... Newfoundland is a fairly small place... I gotta start checking tapes at thrift stores here
Flashback 2 months later and I literally have a job at my local thrift store lmfao time to start going through their tapes nobody else buys them anyway
The work of Trunks, MF DOOM affiliate and San Francisco native, is one of the lost gems of the hip hop community. He made a few tracks but most have been lost to handful of demos on vinyl and tape spread among DJs and community members of the era.
with lost content like this, I always wonder who the last person to watch/play that lost media is and whether or not they knew that they would be the last person to ever consume the media
this is creepy and fascinating at the same time. i wonder if in the future, we’re gonna be like “WHY DIDNT YOU SCREEN RECORD THAT YOU COULD’VE SAVED THE LOST MEDIA COMMUNITY” to our past selves. damn i’m gonna start recording everything.. imagine if those unblocked flash games on google sites get lost in the future. we should start downloading those before it happens
Finally, some lost media I haven’t seen! Also, interesting gimmick, naming your channel after a place and featuring that fictional area as the setting for your intro and in-between.
That music pets game wasn't what I'd been hunting for years. But looking it up finally gave me a trailer that answered my enigma and an apk I intend on testing on an older phone. Thank you ❤
Ricky's Room used to air on the TV station in my area in the mornings well into the 2000s. If I had known that it would be sought after in the future, I'd have gotten up early every morning and recorded it every chance I got.
speaking of lost media, there was this advert on an italian tv which aired like twice, in 2006/2007. it was about jeans but it was odd and eerie, it was this girl walking in an hallway showing her hunting trophies, but the trophies were people. it was called something like "ouroshine"
The Crayon Box unlocked a MEMORY for me! I totally remember that show from when I was a kid. It was a Canadian production on YTV which I watched on the daily after school! THATS NUTS
Okay but this video made me think about just how many Facebook games are lost now. I was addicted to Pet Society and Restaurant City as a kid and was distraught when the company permanently removed all their games.
I saw the Bart Simpson ice cream in 2007, most likely at a resort while I was on holiday in the rural city of Mildura Victoria Australia. None of my friends back in the Melbourne suburbs remember it. The Simpsons Movie came out in July 2007 so the ice cream was most likely a limited release alongside it.
I remember seeing multiple episodes of Hotdog TV back when I was a kid. Don't remember exactly what happened in them, but damn its saddening to see stuff you saw as a kid essentially be lost to time.
Woah, you really kicked me in the nostalgia with The Crayon Box. I had totally forgot this existed until now. Corus Entertainment made some really wacky shit back in the day.

That's cause bigger channels tend to upload more (cause money and algorithm bs) whilst smaller channels don't which result in higher quality content less is more after all
clickbait gets children clicking the video, who are coincidentally the people that listen to “like the video and subscribe” commands, coincidentally making the most money.
It’s really odd to think in the age of the internet, not 1 person has uploaded one of these things. You’d think atleast 1 out of the 7 billion people in this world would.
I just think a lot of people don't remember what they have recorded in tapes as kids. Or don't know that they could possibly have LM in their possession.
There was a channel 4 drama/short film about a troubled 12 year old girl who runs away from home on a council estate with a boy (lip from shameless) i think it was only aired once it was called "when i was 12" ive never been able to find it anywhere and even tried to contact the cast members and people who were involved in its production to try obtain a copy but its definetly a piece of lost media
I was watching this vid on my phone with the audio turned up, me and my mom are Filipinos so when the lost Seiko Wallet commercial audio started playing, she unexpectedly started singing along as she remembers the commercial! It was very accurate despite the audio being very bad, I jumped up and asked her why she knew of it. And she replied because it was a commercial she constantly saw/heard back in her day. I asked her when, and she estimated that she was in the 4th grade during those times. She is 43 now and the song is embedded into her mind. Even a low quality version of the song rings her the memories. I did eventualy tell her the bad news that the commercial is now Lost Media, telling her that the film was never saved/archived. Causing it to be lost. And it did make her feel a bit sad because it used to be a commercial that would constantly play on the TV/Radio in her time.
25:45 Yeah, we had those in Mexico, too!!! 😃 The Simpsons was really popular in Mexico so we would have a lot of merchandise (some bootleg) and I remember we had these Bart Simpsons push pops. They were orange flavored, which I very much liked because orange was my favorite ice pop flavor growing up. These were definitely real at some point.
Literally subbing before you blow tf up. This video was well done mate and there's a few lost media here I've never heard of so again, well done friend.
The Earl Sweatshirt album may absolutely exist, I know a lot of artists post their unreleased music here under weird codenames. I’ve stumbled across Ethel Cain songs posted in this way before
my god this unlocked a memory i forgot i had i must have been like five or six, but it was a snow day in like mid-febuary and it was really snowy so my mum put on ctv for me to watch and the crayon box that talked was on there. it was my favorite show for a solid number of years, and i think i have a replica of Dotty the cat. that may just be my botched memory, though. thank you so much for letting me remember something i thought i forgot
I wouldn’t necessarily consider this “Lost Media”, but back when my Nintendo DSi used to work (still sad about it), I had many games on it. One of them was strange. I don’t remember how I got it, but at some point, it was just on my console. It was kind of cowboy themed, I guess? And I think it started out with some text to read. The reason why I remember the game in the first place is, because the text scared me a lot back then. It gave me tons of nightmares. Because it described the protagonist’s parent or grandparent getting eaten by snakes in their sleep. And then it started out with some kind of western themed music playing in the background as the protagonist was riding on his horse. I don’t think I ever made it past level 3, perhaps I’ve never even made it past level 1. Because I remember it being really difficult and we didn’t have internet back then, so I couldn’t look up gameplay to progress, like I do nowadays. So I don’t know what happened afterwards. I kept on dying. I don’t even know what the enemies were… I just remember the ominous text and the first few seconds of gameplay. I think you had to jump over trains and I just couldn’t do it. Oh I also remember having to move boxes strategically to progress. For example, if the protagonist needed to jump somewhere higher, you could move a box to help him. Looking back, I don’t think it would’ve been that difficult, but I was a child. I think I got stuck because I couldn’t figure out where I could place a box and then I died over and over again. Again, this doesn’t really count as Lost Media. I tried to search it up already, but there are more than 3000 games for the DS… I can’t look through all of them. I also lack any social media, so I thought that maybe this comment section might help? Sorry for such little details…I don’t remember anything else, because I never made it past the first few (or the very first) level(s).
@@mikeyhamato2012 yeah right as I replied I didn't think that was it lol I kept looking a little bit following the description you said and I couldn't find anything so maybe it is "lost media"
@@CooperPatterson03 Possibly, there is a video that showcases all Nintendo DS games and in the description, it says that a few games are missing. The game I described could be one of them. I don’t have a cartridge of it (I take care of the ones I have), perhaps I downloaded it somehow? We didn’t have internet back then, but my relatives did, maybe I got connected to it at some point and downloaded this strange game. I remember that it showed a few pictures as you read the text. When the snake part came, it showed an empty mattress and I’ll never forget that. It was in a 2d art style, rather realistic for back then. It’s ok though if you can’t find it, I’m having trouble as well. I was just wondering, but it’s not something that I have as a top priority.
Omg the Bart Simpson push up. Me and my brother had these before back I think before 2010 at most? I do remember vaguely what it tasted like, I think it was banana or vanilla flavoured. My brother had seen the poster of it on or near the ice cream freezer, I however do not. If I recall it felt weird since the stick and the tube felt loose and sometimes it’ll melt through there. It reminded me similarly to the smartie push up ice cream, which imo is better >
They were released about the same time from what I remember, my local corner store sold both but only for like…a year or so at most. I swear I remember it tasting like a more creamy tasting banana paddlepop, though that could just be nostalgia clouding it’s actual taste
This video is so good!! I love lost media and I have watched many videos about it; this video is the first one in a while that has shared searches that were unknown to me! My favorite lost media from this video is Zak :y
Something about the Crayon Box show really took me back! I vaguely remember it but the characters of the pink bulldog and the giraffe on a handle really stand out to me. Lost media is frustrating...
growing up in australia, it's pretty cool to recognise and hear familiar titles from my childhood! it's also cool to see US pieces of media spoken about the same as non-US pieces of media
I have every episode of Ricky's Room recorded on VHS somewhere. It was one of my favs as a kid. They're probably in my parent's basement gathering dust
@@rusticpath2244 I found what I believe to be the tapes over the weekend but I have no way of verifying since I don't have a VHS player anymore. Also I'm totally unfamiliar with how to dump them online
Great work researching these artifacts! I call bs on Waluigi's Foot Fault though-I would much sooner believe old-school Nintendo Power running the blurb as a prank than Nintendo signing off on it as an actual playable game. Fits Waluigi's MO too, don't you think? 😂
According to a comment on another video, they played it and recalled that you could "mail" someone waluigies toenails. Weird game but a couple people recall it
one time i saw this terrifying commercial about anti smoking. i dont remember much but i remember a lady talking about her life before smoking, and it showed old grayscale pictures where she looked beautiful, and then it cut to her as of the present. she sounded creepy, and she was very wrinkly with no hair. her jaw was built strangely and she said some things. then it cut to black with a sad violin, not the goofy stock sound but one that made your stomach drop. it said with white text _“She was 30. She died 16 hours after the creation of this commercial” or 40 to 60. it was scary. fr made me learn my lesson.. i dont ever want to smoke.
18:36 IS THAT PAJANIMALS?!! I remember watching this show when I was very young and I haven’t seen it in so long that I thought I was only dreaming or imagining about it but then I finally watched this video and I now know that it was real the whole time 😳
What I'm finding fascinating that wasn't talked about in this video is the french cartoon "mysteries of providence" of which only the romanian and hungarian dubs can still be found online.
oh my god i thought no one else remembered the bart simpsons ice cream, i genuinely thought i must've been making it up or getting it confused with another ice cream or i was just going crazy lol. its cool to see others do remember it and it did exist, but its also more frustrating that theres basically nothing about it 😭😭
i remember the backrooms thing from all the way back to like 2007 and i still remember watching creepypastas at 3am (around 2011 - 12) on the living room. i also remember doing this exact thing at a friend's place years before when we first discovered the backrooms.
For the hidden album just check the year he made the comment about the hidden album, check for full albums on the search with low to little no views. That’s how you’ll find it. If you can’t find it then check the year before that up until the previous album he has released. Wishing the time frame of no music being released is possibly when he worked on it then released it.
Omg, my mum used to sing the Astro farm theme song ALL the time when we’d drive in the car in the late 2000’s, I just figured it was something pretty well known, I guess my brother (born in 1993) used to watch it a lot? It’s so crazy to me that it’s lost media tho when my mum used to sing the theme song all time haha Maybe we have it on VHS? It’s because we used to drive past a farm in this tiny village called “X Farm” - I can’t remember the name but whatever it was, it jogged her memory and she started singing the Astro farm theme song, this was like 2009 lol and I just looked it up and she sang it perfectly, right lyrics too
Any kid growing up in the uk who watched cbbc and citv will tell you there is soo many lost tv shows. its mainly cus since it was only shown in the uk and the bbc have this awful problem with thinking that people dont ever want to resee old things theres soo many tapes and episodes of tv shows we have lost. such as alot of the original dr who episodes. the queens nose, quite a few of the dick and dom in the bugalow episodes, the adventure game show that has a single episode on youtube now, hell there was even the channel jetix that had a video game show called pxg that is soo rare to even find clips of.
I've been trying to identify a show for years which would've most likely been aired on CBBC or CITV, I can't even find anyone who remembers it let alone the actual clip! (Although identifying the show's name would be a great start!) Also been searching for an episode of an old CBBC show Hububb, but only a handful of episodes seem to have been preserved 😞 I had hours of CBBC recorded on VHS but my mum put them out in the shed and they went mouldy apparently 😫
About the Hidden Album: there are like atleast 20 Million songs on Spotify alone that haven't been heard once, have fun searching for a TH-cam video album that hasn't been found yet, with how the algorythm works now, they'll probably never find it or TH-cam has taken it down, there was an instance where TH-cam deleted inactive accounts/subscribers, which meant alot of accounts just being deleted/inactive If they haven't been reactivated around that time frame, which means there are probably millions of videos that have been lost
So picture this... your on a train with 13 other passengers heading to a small country in the eastern union. While on the train, you have a dream of a man under a large moon and are welcomed to the festival of termina. A cosmic celebration hosted by the trickster god Rher, lasting a few days. Some pretty concerning stuff, but where it gets worse is that the train has come to a stop. Your fellow passengers are figuring out what to do. If you adventure towards the town, you'll encounter some things best left unseen. And then you realize what the man's speech boils down to. You and the thirteen other passengers are now contestants in a battle royale. You have no idea what's happening with the town, and you have three days. This is the premise for Fear and Hunger 2: Termina. A survival horror rpg that has hurt me in a way no other game has. And whether from stock holm syndrome or genuine enjoyment, I want to share it with you.
I’m trying to find this one computer game about dinosaurs. I remember seeing a demo video of it but I can’t find it again. Part of it involved an archeological dig, sifting for something. Another part had a 3D dinosaur museum, and a triceratops walked off the pedestal to a saxophone tune. (That same tune could also be heard as a victory theme in Worms World Party.) “The screamer remains unplayable.” GOOD!
@@atomidragon I don’t remember a parasaurolophus, but there was a human with a moustache. He did a backflip after the demo sifted through dirt in a box and found something.

Remember the Chex Mix PC video game?
One of the most fascinating things to me when it comes to lost media is the recording of the first Moon landing. Of course, that iconic scene of Neil Armstrong standing on the Moon is one of the most preserved images in history, and probably will be so for quite a while. However, you may have noticed that the actual recording is pretty low quality compared to later missions. This is because unlike later missions, Apollo 11 did not send a signal that was compatible with the NTSC standard used in the US. To solve this problem, NASA set up a camera and pointed it at a TV screen in Parkes (which is the receiver in Australia that received the video signal from the Moon) and used that as the NTSC signal. However, it is believed that a recording of the original signal exists. Which, if it does, would show Apollo 11 like we have never seen it before.
That is super cool...

@@starleaf-luna The original broadcast was sent in a format that was made specifically for the purpose i would assume, then converted to PAL at Parkes, because well, their power grid ran on 50Hz, not 60, and this wasn't the digital era. They were then supposed to convert it into NTSC and send it back to the US, but due to converter troubles, they just recorded the screen with a camera.
That Music Pets one is extremely sad.
You have this wholesome and genius flash game that got super popular real quick... only for it to be shuttered in less than a year.
Thanks for bringing awareness to international lost media. I find that most lost media videos tend to cover mostly American stuff
Watching this just makes me realize that a lot of lost media that people care about are targeted towards children. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's interesting to think about.
kids forget and adults dont care that much, i think is part of it
i think it's because kids don't think about the fact that their favorite cartoon may go missing, so they don't bother to record it. they just kinda live in the moment as all kids should.
As someone who actively works on preservation, a lot of the drive is nostalgia & seeking answers about childhood. I’ve gone on many a search for media from when I was a child because I wanted to know if my memory was hazy or not.
I usually try to remember some of the ones from old consoles to spike my memory.
For example, I remember not knowing this cars laptop about learning for a while until I found out it was from vtech and Ik this isn’t much, but it always is a good feeling when I finally have some peace and comfort knowing I wasn’t crazy when I do find out about what I used to remember over that, games, or any media.
i think a large part of it is that adults don't generally think children's media is worth preserving. children's media usually has no interest for adults and is considered to lack artistic or historical value, so no-one bothers with it, yeah? and, as an earlier commenter mentioned, kids usually don't even think about it. so it goes missing.
Huge props to you for bringing a ton of new content to the lost media discussion. I feel like a lot of videos tend to mention the same 30 or so cases and you did a great job bringing so many I haven't seen or heard of into the discussion!
you’re a literal nobody
I like how you included all topics not just the ominous, mysterious or creepy stuff. Because obviously the other ones are not as involving or interesting as the other ones. But you stayed true to your content and did not try to fish for views. Good for you. I appreciate your effort in making this video.
There has to be a lot of lost edutainment media if I had to guess- I'd say a lot of them just are aimed at such a young age of kid that those who played them would easily forget them when they got older, or at least forget enough details to make them trackable.
I particularly think this to be the case with the freebie demo discs they passed out in cereal boxes and gave away in kids meals in the early 2000s.... It seemed like they were all over the place, and since they were free there was no reservations in throwing them out.
Man, I’ve got a personal connection with the Seiko Wallet AD.
Well, more like two.
Both of my parents lived through exactly that era when the commercial was running, to the point they even suggested buying me a proper leather bill-fold when I had to replace my kiddy velcro wallet.
I wouldn’t have thought much of the jingle until you mentioned that the original AD essentially disappeared over the years. Now with that context, I more appreciate the little things my parents mention as they may be the only ones close to me to remember.
YOOOO I REMEMBER THE BART PUSH POP!! I always picked the Smarties one over it bc it was tastier, but my brother often preferred the Bart and I enjoyed the novelty of it more than the Smarties. You unlocked a core memory for kid me lmao
One thing of lost media I crave to see are the homebrew channel contest submissions. Before the Wii homebrew channel had its final theme, there was a music contest held and the winner would have their tune be used in the channel. Almost all of the contestants had their submissions uploaded to a site that was taken down, and I can’t find any backups.
as a south african couple we can honestly say we have never heard of interster (interstellar) so thanks for informing us on our own lost media...throughly enjoyed it...
I saw the Waluigi foot game listed on an iceberg and I assumed it was one of those creepy "for kids" unlicensed flash games, or bizarre fetish games. I had no idea it was an officially licensed Nintendo product!
If you look closely in the bottom right corner of that episode of Ricky’s Room, there’s a logo that says NTV. That’s the Newfoundland Canada provincial station. Probably one of the most obscure TV networks lol... I’m a Newfoundlander, seeing that made me completely trip out. That means that one if not more of the only recordings of this Ricky’s Room show were taped by one of us... There ARE lost media fans aside from me on this isolated rock... And it aired here... Newfoundland is a fairly small place... I gotta start checking tapes at thrift stores here
Flashback 2 months later and I literally have a job at my local thrift store lmfao time to start going through their tapes nobody else buys them anyway

These types of lost media videos are always my favorite!
Finally some fresh LM content and not the same ones rehashed over and over. Good stuff!!
Well, I've heard of Walluigi's toe game and some of them are extremely obscure flash games and children's media.
The work of Trunks, MF DOOM affiliate and San Francisco native, is one of the lost gems of the hip hop community. He made a few tracks but most have been lost to handful of demos on vinyl and tape spread among DJs and community members of the era.
this mans videos are amazing
:)
with lost content like this, I always wonder who the last person to watch/play that lost media is and whether or not they knew that they would be the last person to ever consume the media
this is creepy and fascinating at the same time. i wonder if in the future, we’re gonna be like “WHY DIDNT YOU SCREEN RECORD THAT YOU COULD’VE SAVED THE LOST MEDIA COMMUNITY” to our past selves. damn i’m gonna start recording everything.. imagine if those unblocked flash games on google sites get lost in the future. we should start downloading those before it happens
i love your content! You just get straight to the point and don’t make anything over dramatic or creepy. :D
Finally, some lost media I haven’t seen!
Also, interesting gimmick, naming your channel after a place and featuring that fictional area as the setting for your intro and in-between.
What do you mean?
This is the first video from you i've ever seen; it took me about 45 seconds to decide i had to subscribe. This is very well done!
That music pets game wasn't what I'd been hunting for years. But looking it up finally gave me a trailer that answered my enigma and an apk I intend on testing on an older phone. Thank you ❤
Ricky's Room used to air on the TV station in my area in the mornings well into the 2000s. If I had known that it would be sought after in the future, I'd have gotten up early every morning and recorded it every chance I got.
I appreciate how you just get right into the video without an overly long intro
speaking of lost media, there was this advert on an italian tv which aired like twice, in 2006/2007. it was about jeans but it was odd and eerie, it was this girl walking in an hallway showing her hunting trophies, but the trophies were people. it was called something like "ouroshine"
The Crayon Box unlocked a MEMORY for me! I totally remember that show from when I was a kid. It was a Canadian production on YTV which I watched on the daily after school! THATS NUTS
30:55 I legit have nightmares about someone getting a RAT on my PC, even though it never happened.
Okay but this video made me think about just how many Facebook games are lost now. I was addicted to Pet Society and Restaurant City as a kid and was distraught when the company permanently removed all their games.
There was also one called Fishdom that my mom and grandma played for a long time, and it's just gone now
Wasn't there a Facebook game called Farmville or something? I remember everyone was playing that back in the day
I saw the Bart Simpson ice cream in 2007, most likely at a resort while I was on holiday in the rural city of Mildura Victoria Australia.
None of my friends back in the Melbourne suburbs remember it.
The Simpsons Movie came out in July 2007 so the ice cream was most likely a limited release alongside it.

I remember seeing multiple episodes of Hotdog TV back when I was a kid. Don't remember exactly what happened in them, but damn its saddening to see stuff you saw as a kid essentially be lost to time.
Woah, you really kicked me in the nostalgia with The Crayon Box. I had totally forgot this existed until now. Corus Entertainment made some really wacky shit back in the day.

TH-camrs with 20 million subscribers: literally just clickbait
meanwhile, youtubers with 20k making absolute masterworks:
That's cause bigger channels tend to upload more (cause money and algorithm bs) whilst smaller channels don't which result in higher quality content less is more after all
In other words, TH-cam is bias.
clickbait gets children clicking the video, who are coincidentally the people that listen to “like the video and subscribe” commands, coincidentally making the most money.
Lost media is so heartbreaking.. It hurts and ruins your memories that contain them... 😢
Nah it's fun to find them. And it's bound to happen that some things disappear forever.
It's just a burning memory.
If it’s any consolation, be happy for the stuff that we do have!
It’s really odd to think in the age of the internet, not 1 person has uploaded one of these things. You’d think atleast 1 out of the 7 billion people in this world would.
Correction: The global population is now 8 billion+
I just think a lot of people don't remember what they have recorded in tapes as kids. Or don't know that they could possibly have LM in their possession.
The hot dog puppets is now on “puppet up” a live show that is meant for adults. My last known place it has came up was at Knotts scary farm 2022.
I work at the Jim Henson creature shop, I see those hot dogs everyday LOL!!!! They use them now mostly for Puppet Up :)
Oh my god, I remember hot dog tv! I remember seeing it after episodes of Gumball, I can't believe some of it was lost.
There was a channel 4 drama/short film about a troubled 12 year old girl who runs away from home on a council estate with a boy (lip from shameless) i think it was only aired once it was called "when i was 12" ive never been able to find it anywhere and even tried to contact the cast members and people who were involved in its production to try obtain a copy but its definetly a piece of lost media
I was watching this vid on my phone with the audio turned up, me and my mom are Filipinos so when the lost Seiko Wallet commercial audio started playing, she unexpectedly started singing along as she remembers the commercial!
It was very accurate despite the audio being very bad, I jumped up and asked her why she knew of it. And she replied because it was a commercial she constantly saw/heard back in her day. I asked her when, and she estimated that she was in the 4th grade during those times. She is 43 now and the song is embedded into her mind. Even a low quality version of the song rings her the memories.
I did eventualy tell her the bad news that the commercial is now Lost Media, telling her that the film was never saved/archived. Causing it to be lost. And it did make her feel a bit sad because it used to be a commercial that would constantly play on the TV/Radio in her time.
25:45 Yeah, we had those in Mexico, too!!! 😃
The Simpsons was really popular in Mexico so we would have a lot of merchandise (some bootleg) and I remember we had these Bart Simpsons push pops. They were orange flavored, which I very much liked because orange was my favorite ice pop flavor growing up. These were definitely real at some point.
Literally subbing before you blow tf up. This video was well done mate and there's a few lost media here I've never heard of so again, well done friend.
The Earl Sweatshirt album may absolutely exist, I know a lot of artists post their unreleased music here under weird codenames. I’ve stumbled across Ethel Cain songs posted in this way before
I love the fact that the one livestream-hoax, that really made the herobrine myth popular, is lost media and pretty mysterious itself by now
my god this unlocked a memory i forgot i had
i must have been like five or six, but it was a snow day in like mid-febuary and it was really snowy so my mum put on ctv for me to watch and the crayon box that talked was on there. it was my favorite show for a solid number of years, and i think i have a replica of Dotty the cat. that may just be my botched memory, though.
thank you so much for letting me remember something i thought i forgot
I watched Roary this year. I was confused why did you added this but now i get it. The nostalgia hits hard
Gotta love that the Japanese commercial recreation happens during an Ultraseven episode
My girlfriend played Land of the Doughbuddies as a kid, the disc is probably at her mother's house. We'll check on the weekend lol

I wouldn’t necessarily consider this “Lost Media”, but back when my Nintendo DSi used to work (still sad about it), I had many games on it.
One of them was strange.
I don’t remember how I got it, but at some point, it was just on my console.
It was kind of cowboy themed, I guess?
And I think it started out with some text to read.
The reason why I remember the game in the first place is, because the text scared me a lot back then.
It gave me tons of nightmares.
Because it described the protagonist’s parent or grandparent getting eaten by snakes in their sleep.
And then it started out with some kind of western themed music playing in the background as the protagonist was riding on his horse.
I don’t think I ever made it past level 3, perhaps I’ve never even made it past level 1.
Because I remember it being really difficult and we didn’t have internet back then, so I couldn’t look up gameplay to progress, like I do nowadays.
So I don’t know what happened afterwards.
I kept on dying.
I don’t even know what the enemies were…
I just remember the ominous text and the first few seconds of gameplay.
I think you had to jump over trains and I just couldn’t do it.
Oh I also remember having to move boxes strategically to progress.
For example, if the protagonist needed to jump somewhere higher, you could move a box to help him.
Looking back, I don’t think it would’ve been that difficult, but I was a child.
I think I got stuck because I couldn’t figure out where I could place a box and then I died over and over again.
Again, this doesn’t really count as Lost Media.
I tried to search it up already, but there are more than 3000 games for the DS…
I can’t look through all of them.
I also lack any social media, so I thought that maybe this comment section might help?
Sorry for such little details…I don’t remember anything else, because I never made it past the first few (or the very first) level(s).
I personally have never played any DS or DSi games but from what it sounds like could it possibly be the game: The Wild West?
@@CooperPatterson03
I checked it out, unfortunately that’s not the game I was talking about. :(
Still thanks though!
@@mikeyhamato2012 yeah right as I replied I didn't think that was it lol
I kept looking a little bit following the description you said and I couldn't find anything so maybe it is "lost media"
@@CooperPatterson03
Possibly, there is a video that showcases all Nintendo DS games and in the description, it says that a few games are missing.
The game I described could be one of them.
I don’t have a cartridge of it (I take care of the ones I have), perhaps I downloaded it somehow?
We didn’t have internet back then, but my relatives did, maybe I got connected to it at some point and downloaded this strange game.
I remember that it showed a few pictures as you read the text.
When the snake part came, it showed an empty mattress and I’ll never forget that.
It was in a 2d art style, rather realistic for back then.
It’s ok though if you can’t find it, I’m having trouble as well.
I was just wondering, but it’s not something that I have as a top priority.
@@mikeyhamato2012 ask chatgpt
Omg the Bart Simpson push up. Me and my brother had these before back I think before 2010 at most? I do remember vaguely what it tasted like, I think it was banana or vanilla flavoured. My brother had seen the poster of it on or near the ice cream freezer, I however do not.
If I recall it felt weird since the stick and the tube felt loose and sometimes it’ll melt through there. It reminded me similarly to the smartie push up ice cream, which imo is better >
They were released about the same time from what I remember, my local corner store sold both but only for like…a year or so at most. I swear I remember it tasting like a more creamy tasting banana paddlepop, though that could just be nostalgia clouding it’s actual taste
This video is so good!! I love lost media and I have watched many videos about it; this video is the first one in a while that has shared searches that were unknown to me! My favorite lost media from this video is Zak :y
I remember watching my bro play the Waluigi Tennis and foot games way back in the day. It's sad that they never got archived properly. :c
Something about the Crayon Box show really took me back! I vaguely remember it but the characters of the pink bulldog and the giraffe on a handle really stand out to me. Lost media is frustrating...
On the other hand, you can really reflect on how sad your life must be to miss playing Facebook games, lol.
growing up in australia, it's pretty cool to recognise and hear familiar titles from my childhood! it's also cool to see US pieces of media spoken about the same as non-US pieces of media
the earl sweatshirt albums been released officially!! its called voir dire!!
The cat puppet in the Crayon Box show was really cute ;o;
I have every episode of Ricky's Room recorded on VHS somewhere. It was one of my favs as a kid. They're probably in my parent's basement gathering dust
Please, if you can look for these, update us on them!!!
please try to digitize them if you find them!!
I didn't know it was lost media until watching this, haha. I forgot it even existed. I'll have to take a look sometime
@@saul-goodman Hey Tim. How's the search going for the tapes? If you never got to it yet, it's no big deal.
@@rusticpath2244 I found what I believe to be the tapes over the weekend but I have no way of verifying since I don't have a VHS player anymore. Also I'm totally unfamiliar with how to dump them online
Great work researching these artifacts! I call bs on Waluigi's Foot Fault though-I would much sooner believe old-school Nintendo Power running the blurb as a prank than Nintendo signing off on it as an actual playable game.
Fits Waluigi's MO too, don't you think? 😂
Or maybe it did exist, but was pulled once Nintendo Japan found out. 🤔
Anybody here actually play the game?
According to a comment on another video, they played it and recalled that you could "mail" someone waluigies toenails. Weird game but a couple people recall it
maybe Dan Schneider was involved.
Yea, im glad that waluigi game is lost
yeah, this channel is definitely going to reach pass the 100k sub mark with an a couple months or so.
Nice video! You seriously have a lot of potential my friend! I wish you great amounts of happiness and success! :)
Love lost Media Videos, nice work
one time i saw this terrifying commercial about anti smoking. i dont remember much but i remember a lady talking about her life before smoking, and it showed old grayscale pictures where she looked beautiful, and then it cut to her as of the present. she sounded creepy, and she was very wrinkly with no hair. her jaw was built strangely and she said some things. then it cut to black with a sad violin, not the goofy stock sound but one that made your stomach drop. it said with white text _“She was 30. She died 16 hours after the creation of this commercial” or 40 to 60. it was scary. fr made me learn my lesson.. i dont ever want to smoke.
That Alchemist and Earl Sweatshirt collab album is an interesting one
18:36 IS THAT PAJANIMALS?!! I remember watching this show when I was very young and I haven’t seen it in so long that I thought I was only dreaming or imagining about it but then I finally watched this video and I now know that it was real the whole time 😳
What I'm finding fascinating that wasn't talked about in this video is the french cartoon "mysteries of providence" of which only the romanian and hungarian dubs can still be found online.
i genuinely remember seeing the herobrine stream
underrated video
Maybe the Bart Simpson Push Pop wasn’t official and that’s why they disappeared without a trace due to legal action
100% quality. I have become a subscriber 📌
oh my god i thought no one else remembered the bart simpsons ice cream, i genuinely thought i must've been making it up or getting it confused with another ice cream or i was just going crazy lol. its cool to see others do remember it and it did exist, but its also more frustrating that theres basically nothing about it 😭😭

Update to the Backrooms image to any who haven’t heard: it was recently found to come from within a Hobbytown craft store in Ontario Falls, Canada.
i remember the backrooms thing from all the way back to like 2007 and i still remember watching creepypastas at 3am (around 2011 - 12) on the living room. i also remember doing this exact thing at a friend's place years before when we first discovered the backrooms.
For the hidden album just check the year he made the comment about the hidden album, check for full albums on the search with low to little no views. That’s how you’ll find it. If you can’t find it then check the year before that up until the previous album he has released. Wishing the time frame of no music being released is possibly when he worked on it then released it.
I like these videos
Omg, my mum used to sing the Astro farm theme song ALL the time when we’d drive in the car in the late 2000’s, I just figured it was something pretty well known, I guess my brother (born in 1993) used to watch it a lot? It’s so crazy to me that it’s lost media tho when my mum used to sing the theme song all time haha
Maybe we have it on VHS?
It’s because we used to drive past a farm in this tiny village called “X Farm” - I can’t remember the name but whatever it was, it jogged her memory and she started singing the Astro farm theme song, this was like 2009 lol and I just looked it up and she sang it perfectly, right lyrics too
I knew the Seiko wallet commercial exists! My mom laughed at me when I sang the jingle of a "non-existing" product
Any kid growing up in the uk who watched cbbc and citv will tell you there is soo many lost tv shows. its mainly cus since it was only shown in the uk and the bbc have this awful problem with thinking that people dont ever want to resee old things theres soo many tapes and episodes of tv shows we have lost. such as alot of the original dr who episodes. the queens nose, quite a few of the dick and dom in the bugalow episodes, the adventure game show that has a single episode on youtube now, hell there was even the channel jetix that had a video game show called pxg that is soo rare to even find clips of.
I've been trying to identify a show for years which would've most likely been aired on CBBC or CITV, I can't even find anyone who remembers it let alone the actual clip! (Although identifying the show's name would be a great start!)
Also been searching for an episode of an old CBBC show Hububb, but only a handful of episodes seem to have been preserved 😞
I had hours of CBBC recorded on VHS but my mum put them out in the shed and they went mouldy apparently 😫
21:30 - something tells me that is not SEIKO the watch manufacturer
that thumbnail gave me an indescribable feeling of nostalgia
About the Hidden Album: there are like atleast 20 Million songs on Spotify alone that haven't been heard once, have fun searching for a TH-cam video album that hasn't been found yet, with how the algorythm works now, they'll probably never find it or TH-cam has taken it down, there was an instance where TH-cam deleted inactive accounts/subscribers, which meant alot of accounts just being deleted/inactive If they haven't been reactivated around that time frame, which means there are probably millions of videos that have been lost
So picture this... your on a train with 13 other passengers heading to a small country in the eastern union. While on the train, you have a dream of a man under a large moon and are welcomed to the festival of termina. A cosmic celebration hosted by the trickster god Rher, lasting a few days. Some pretty concerning stuff, but where it gets worse is that the train has come to a stop. Your fellow passengers are figuring out what to do. If you adventure towards the town, you'll encounter some things best left unseen. And then you realize what the man's speech boils down to. You and the thirteen other passengers are now contestants in a battle royale. You have no idea what's happening with the town, and you have three days. This is the premise for Fear and Hunger 2: Termina. A survival horror rpg that has hurt me in a way no other game has. And whether from stock holm syndrome or genuine enjoyment, I want to share it with you.
I’m trying to find this one computer game about dinosaurs. I remember seeing a demo video of it but I can’t find it again. Part of it involved an archeological dig, sifting for something.
