[TOMT][Song] God awful song where the guy just rambles for like 15 minutes.

Hello! Looking for a song my dad would play during either Easter or St. Patty's Day that's this guy just rambling out a story about how he got arrested or something as a teen? I asked my dad about it but he got pissed when I called it god awful and wouldn't tell me. I thought he played it BECAUSE it was bad, whoops. Anyways any help would be appreciated.

[TOMT][PICTURE] Picture showing a sign reading "call 911 if light is on", and a light, which is on

Hi everyone!

I once saw a picture online which I now can't find anywhere.

It was a photo taken at night on a smartphone or digital camera. The person taking the picture was standing on a jetty/dock, which is also visible on the photo. On this dock there is something like a container or a small hut, with a white sign with black letters on its wall reading "call 911 if light is on". On top of the sign, there is a red light, which is conveniently on. In the background, you can see the sea, so I guess the whole thing is around a harbour.

There are no people visible on the picture. It has an eerie vibe and it feels like the person has just discovered the sign an spontaneously decided to take a picture. They might have been in distress. The image is rather dark and low quality.

I don't remember exactly where I saw it - maybe on reddit or a creepy video on youtube.

[TOMT] [MOVIE] [60s/70s] film disturbante con bambino cowboy bullizzato (scena molto forte in fattoria)

Sto cercando un film che mi è rimasto impresso da bambina e che non riesco ad identificare. L’ho visto in TV italiana tra il 1995 e il 1999, su un canale secondario. Era a colori ma sembrava vecchio, probabilmente ambientato negli anni ’60. Genere drammatico e quasi sicuramente americano. La scena che ricordo è molto forte: un bambino biondo vestito da cowboy (presumo il protagonista) viene bullizzato da ragazzi più grandi in una stalla o fattoria. Loro lo umiliano facendogli la pipì addosso. Ricordo un’estetica con colori caldi, ma nient’altro. Qualcuno riconosce questo film?

[TOMT] Time Loop Mystery Movie

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to find this for years and it’s driving me crazy.

I watched it when I was really young (early 2000s), and I’m pretty sure it was either a short film, TV episode, or something similar—not a full mainstream movie.

Here’s what I remember:

- A white American man wakes up in the morning and feels an urgent need to go somewhere

- He is stuck in a time loop—every time he fails, the day resets back to him waking up

- His goal is to save a blind Black woman

- The woman is trying to cross a street/crosswalk, and she gets hit by a car if he doesn’t reach her in time

Details that really stood out:

- His car is blocked or clamped, so he’s forced to run

- He runs through the city (felt like a New York-style setting)

- At some point he cuts through a park

- He even gets chased by a dog while trying to reach her

- He fails multiple times before (possibly) succeeding

Other notes:

- It felt American (actors and setting)

- Probably late 90s to early 2000s

- Could have been part of a TV anthology or a short shown on cable

I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find anything that matches this exact plot.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

[TOMT][MOVIE] [2010-2020] I’ve been searching for this movie for YEARS, please help 😭

I watched this movie when I was younger somewhere between 2010- 2020, I think, and I genuinely cannot find it no matter what I search.

Here’s everything I remember:

The main character is a man who looks foreign (like American/Australian, not Indian) The whole plot is about him searching for his father. His mother is Indian, and I remember her telling him that his father was a foreigner who left and never came back. He travels a LOT, I specifically remember India, and also places like Italy and France. There’s a very random scene i remember where he gives a taxi driver 100 rupees. He never actually finds his father, or at least doesn’t get proper closure. And the final scene, I’m almost sure, is him at the Eiffel Tower, and he throws a paper plane (or lets it fly), and that’s how the movie ends.I’ve been trying to find this movie for YEARS and it’s driving me insane. I don’t remember any actors or the exact language, but it felt like an English/International film. If this rings ANY bells, please help 😭 (I think the main character guy has long hair/could possibly be ginger hair)

Ps. I believe he was estranged from his mother as well as the only thing I remember about her was from his memory recollection

I saw it on TV in probably one of the following channels: HBO, Warner Bros Channel, Movies Now, MNX, Romedy Now, Sony Pix, Star Movies, Star Movies Select HD, &flix, &privé HD, Star World Premiere HD, TLC, Fox Life because these were the ones provided by the cable service

[TOMT][SONG][2010s] Santa Fe song, possibly kpop?

I swear I remember a song mentioning Santa Fe, and it could be a K-pop song, because I remember the singer pronounce it as "Santa Pe". It definitely wasn't the title of the song, Santa Fe was used as a rhyme.

I don't remember anything about the melody though, but thought that asking is worth a try. Thank you for any help!:)

[TOMT] [SONG] [80’s or 90’s] Song I heard in a kohls earlier

I’m trying to find a song I heard recently in a Kohl’s store and I haven’t had any luck. It’s kind of Talking Heads and Thompson Twins esque with a quirky upbeat vibe. At one point a girl speaks over what sounds like an intercom or a plane announcement and then a guy comes in after, then there’s a flute solo and right after that a guitar solo. The vocals have a lot of “hey now” and “woahhh” type sounds. If anyone recognizes it or has any leads I would really appreciate it.

[TOMT][CLIP][Meme] Two British Guys Cheersing

I'm not even sure if it's a long video or not, but I have distinct memory of about like 5 seconds worth of footage where these two British guys cheers. Not a cartoon or anything, two real life people, but it's not a video, they don't move naturally, very stiff. Like someone took a photograph and animated it. They basically hit the glasses together and say "Outstanding" or something similar to that. This is basically a hail-mary since I've been trying all sorts of searches to find the blasted thing.

[TOMT] [1960/70s] [comic book] comic book from a collection I read as a kid

A single from some collection of horror stories (the rest of which I cant remember) in which a space ship crew of about 10 people are on their way to somewhere. The book was entirely black and white.

There is a big racial divide between the crew with 4 of them being african american who are constantly being berated by the white crew members who I recall held higher positions on the ship aswell. Theres a broken marriage between one of the white crew members who blames it on the ships largest black crew member. The mechanic along with his friend beats up the youngest of the african american crew members for some petty issue. The young man notes how the pleasure the mechanic got from beating him was worse than the pain of being beaten up.

During their flight a meteor hits the ship and they send 2 humanoid robots (C3PO-like) to fix it. Another meteor destroys one of the robots while a smaller meteor makes a small dent on the second robots head.

After this people start being murdered and the crew immediately lock themselves into 2 parts of the ship (along racial lines of course). Both sides suspecting the other harbors the murderer. Eventually the young african american crew member gets his hands on a pistol and crawls through the vents trying to catch the killer. He finds the other last surviving member of the crew on a chair having committed suicide. But looking at him he realizes that the body posture does not make sense for a suicide and when he turns he sees the robot trying to come at him. He fires in a panic and kills the robot.

After this the comic cuts to a news host talking about the incident and how the lone survivor was admitted to full therapeutic care with robot assistants. The young man then closes the television and thinks to himself how the therapeutic care was nice but the robots not so much. In his hands there is a hammer and behind him is a smashed robot butler saying:

"at your service sir-bzz"

"at your service sir-bzz"

"at your service sir-bzz"

[TOMT] [GAME] [2016-2019] Need help finding an old android multiplayer video game.

There was a video game i used to play, i can’t remember the exact years, but i guess anywhere between 2016-2019; it was a multiplayer game with a chat feature, i remember the chat feature very well because i got caught online dating on it; i played this game on an amazon fire kindle.

You played as wolves & had to fight bosses, i can’t remember if you fought the bosses with other players or not, but the one boss i really remember was this massive tree God, if it helps i think the boss fight took place in a stone-y mountain-y terrain.

[TOMT] [MOVIE] [2000s] middle-aged women in a town.

So I am looking for this movie, which was shown at day time 10-15 years ago in norway wich leeds me to think it was semi-successful or mid-level budget at highest. The story takes place in a 5000-20000-populated town in the U.S., I feel. I believe this town is close to the sea or a very big lake. I think it is a movie aimed perhaps more at women.

Some middle-aged women, or maybe just one, are becoming intimate with this 20-year-old guy without them having "wild" personalities. They are meant to be ordinary-looking and behaving women, I think. "20" is being mentioned a lot in discussions throughout the film: "He is only 20". It is not some super erotic film, I feel. Their relationship is less focused on, as in we do not see that much of it. But there are a lot of talks about it among her girl friends. I think the main character works in some kind of store that is not a grocery store. , which has an entry towards the sunny side. I do not remember any night scenes in the movie.

I am pretty sure it is not White Palace with Susan Sarandon, as the guy is 27, and I really feel 20 is mentioned a lot. And I already knew her at the time. But who knows. I feel it is an early 2000s movie, but it may have been early to late 90s.

Thank you

[TOMT] (MOVIE) I have been searching for like 6 years

I have been searching for like 6 years

So every few years since 2020 I’ve kinda tried to find a movie I watched (I watched it somewhere between 2014-2018, give or take a year) and so far no luck so I’m turning to reddit

Despite having some issues with memory I distinctively remember a scene near the end where two men are on a rooftop fighting. The main character ends up getting his tooth knocked out midway through the scene

Other details of note are that it is definitely 2D animated, I’m 90% sure it was Greyscale or at least not many colors that were vibrant in any manner, and I don’t recall much speaking, if any at all. Part of the reason the scene stood out to me was because I actually heard someone make a noise for once in the movie which I didn’t expect given the movie didn’t have it’s characters speak much.

Rain was moderately there as the whole movie was vaguely melancholic. I also think the main character was defending some child, like I think the antagonists were in some kind of gang and were gonna kill the kid but the main guy noticed and wanted to defend her for obvious reasons, though that parts more fuzzy.

Definitively though, was a dark, 2D animated movie, where two guys fought on a roof top at its climax and the main character has his tooth knocked out, rain wasn’t uncommon and things were pretty quiet

[TOMT] Help with finding old cartoon.

So, the show had dragon mentioned like a legend. But start the show with a young girl of the main characters playing a flute (or pan flute) with a song that the dragon which appeared (?, memory of this was fuzzy) recognized the song she played.

They are some kind of a farm family, with both parents, two boys, a crippled sister with a walking stick who played the flute and a pet.

Their town was over taken and ruled by violent creature that find taste in all disgusting stuff to human.

Spoiler: their family line is somehow related to the last overthrown kingdom ruler, and the kids are the "gem" the big bad is after.

Extra:

  • The pet turned big enough to carry people by secret vault potion of their lineage

  • an outcast character who dwell in forest with sock covered arms (red and white stripes)

  • the brothers got separated from the family when they're on the run, then again the brothers are separated from each other again. With one of them taken to a industrialized london like child labor factory.

[TOMT] [tiktok account] [2021-23] need help finding a somewhat creepy tiktok account that may have been a arg or something of the like

To start i would like to say dont assume everything i saw is right, i have a horrible memory and little pieces of different things get mixed in but im pretty sure atleast 90-80% of the info i remember is somewhat correct

I remember this account the person started off by fliming the woods near their house talking about strange things, they would often film from i think a 2nd floor window (pretty sure it was mostly open). The account was made new for this whole thing so it might have been a arg or something like that but i remember not knowing if it was real or not.

Later on in their accounts life they went into to woods and heard bells ringing from far away, pretty sure the first video the bells were heard they insta left but in later ones they pushed forward, at one point something could be heard getting closer to them but i dont remember what the sound was (maybe the bell), the bell might have sounded like a church bell but im only like 60% sure of that, it was a loud bell though. People in the comments were talking about it being a cult. At one point they find a strange piece of trash with a really weird brand, i dont remember any of it other then me looking it up and commenting about it but i dont remember the brand or what the trash was.

I remember something about a fence but no clue if it was in the woods or outside on the property line (maybe both?)

Sorry if this is ordered really weirdly i kinda just wrote what i remembered when i did
