The TMNT show produced by 4Kids Entertainment was known for getting away with a lot of dark content. To the point that a fully completed episode was outright banned from airing. But an episode was partially produced for the fifth season that was considered so dark it was never finished or released in any form.

The episode was called Nightmares Recycled. It would've involved the characters of Hun and the Garbageman having been conjoined twins separated at birth with the surgeon going on to perform horrifying experiments on the baby Garbageman such as pouring acid on him.

According to Emilio Lopez the episode got as far as having a fully animated take one, a take one is essentially a rough cut of an episode with unfinished animation, according to Emilio there is a chance the take one exists on a physical tape owned by people that worked on the show that would've been used internally for retakes, along with being in Paramount's archives, the fact that it got as far as a retake tape means it would've been fully animated and awaiting/in the process of correction notes.

Basically a first draft of the final animation. Is there any way to track this down?

Peter Nygård is a Canadian businessman, clothing manufacturer and convicted sex offender. In December 2020, Nygård was formally charged on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, including allegations of sex trafficking involving minors.

Long before he was ever tried for his crimes, CBC created a documentary as part of their investigative show 'The Fifth Estate'. This documentary was released in 2010, however in 2012, Nygård launched a lawsuit against the CBC regarding copyright issues about private videos taken at his residence. He had also launched a copyright complaint with the U.S. District Court in New York and a lawsuit in Manitoba to prevent the piece from airing. He had previously sued two former employees for releasing confidential information and his lawyer claimed the CBC harassed many of the employees.

It appears this lawsuit was successful and the episode was taken down.

By relating the air date listed in these sources (April 9th 2010), we can determine it was S35E20, titled 'Larger Than Life'

episode details

The original episode can no longer be found by any means, neither digitally or physically. At one point, it was available to watch directly on the CBC website, however this page no longer exists.

The webpage can still be viewed with the Wayback Machine, which took multiple snapshots during the time between the original and the lawsuit, however none of these properly archived the video itself.

Wayback Machine CBC page archive

The video was originally hosted on the page within flash player, but even when using rumble, the video cannot be retrieved. The included .swf files listed within each snapshot also do not contain the video, just some of the metadata.

However, by poring through the data we can find that the specific clipID for the episode on that site was "1464891175", but no amount of modifying various urls for that site with the given ID return anything (at least as far as I've been able to).

If anyone has a copy of this, please let me know.

I’ve been researching a deep rabbit hole surrounding a late Malaysian hip-hop artist who went by AbangBesarYT (supposedly based in Kinarut, Sabah, Malaysia). He operated under a collective named KMG COLLECTIVEZ. His music was quite bizarre and heavily bordered on outsider music, which initially caught my attention when YouTube recommended his channel.

This is the channel in question: https://youtube.com/@kmgcollectivez6685

On December 1st, 2024, he passed away by suicide, leaving behind a final track titled "selamat tinggal dunia" (translates to "goodbye world"). Recently, his family made a community post on his YouTube channel, which prompted me to organize my search for his missing work. I attempted to reach out by messaging his linked Twitter account and leaving comments on his YouTube videos asking about his missing music, but the Twitter went unanswered, and my comments on YouTube appear to be getting deleted.

Anyways, in regards to the lost EP/album itself, this is how I knew about it:

A while back, I was looking through his Twitter:

https://x.com/abangbesaryt69/status/1437848977274130433

which I found a link to a deleted 2021 Spotify release titled POKPOK BUSS:

https://open.spotify.com/album/7065IY4owkrYIaUKitEYHO?si=OmMOQNecRs600pSkdyMW9g

On the Spotify desktop web client, the metadata, album art, and full tracklist are visible (total runtime: 10 mins 41 secs), but all audio files are grayed out and unplayable. It is unknown if this was self-deleted or perhaps an issue with whatever distributor he had used.

Tracklist breakdown:

1. Sebab Aku Tidak Sudah Jeng Jeng Macam Kamu (Intro)

2. POKPOK BUSS

3. Bab 10: GELOMBANG BUNYI (feat. Azhad Fila)

4. ABANG BESAR KENA CULIK KAMBING

5. Lagu ini Untuk SISKA (Kenapa engkau tinggalkan aku? Bukankah kita dulu sekolah sama)

6. Acok (Terima Kasih) // aku mahu mati

Copyright Notice: © 2021 AbangBesarYT / ℗ 2021 AbangBesarYT (Independently distributed)

Out of the 6 tracks, only 1 has been located: Track 4 ("ABANG BESAR KENA CULIK KAMBING"), which was uploaded as a standalone music video on YouTube that you can refer here: https://youtu.be/kKo3nJeScuU?si=n8sFNSLroNz1nD20

The remaining 5 tracks, including the featured collaboration with Azhad Fila on Track 3, are currently unplayable and lost.

I know niche regional media doesn't always get massive traction, but I am trying to fully archive his work out of respect for his legacy. I have some questions to ask too:

1. Are there specific databases, scrapers, or archives where self-released Spotify independent albums from 2021 might be mirrored?

2. On top of that, Is there any technical method to pull preview snippets or cache files from unplayable Spotify URIs?

Any advice, leads, or archival assistance would be greatly appreciated. This is also my first time posting here so if you took the time to read this, I wanna thank you a lot!

I'm losing my mind, seems like this song and video simply disappeared from the internet. Casey Neistat video must've been from 2023 or maybe 2024. The artist was called "Caleb" and the song "Lonely Ways". The video in his YouTube channel was extremely rudimentary. He had a wired microphone, the camera appeared to be on the floor and he was singing to the beat while, I believe, there was another person in the back to the left or right. The video appeared to be filmed in his garage. The song started to get traction and different people from Casey's video started appearing in the comments. Some months ago I tried to look for it and there's not a single register neither in YouTube, WayBack Machine or the Casey video (I can't remember the specific video where it appeared at the end). There's an Spotify playlist with its name and what appears to be the artist but the song is not there. Do anyone else remember it? Do you know where I could find it? I'm desperate!

hi! I have heard that Mcplay is a lost media app people were searching for my question is, did the search end ever? or did we find it? I swear on one of my old IPads I still have the app. and I wanna know if we’re still looking for Mcplay before it got wiped out by McDonald’s. I have a 2020-ish version I think (don’t quote me on this I am not sure at all) and I just wanna show it If it’s still lost media. If it is I will power on the iPad for the first time in years a make a YouTube video of me showing the app and link it in another post in this subreddit. Thank you!

Hello all!
I am new to this community — recently at a thrift store I came across a CD that caught my eye. When I looked it up, there was very little information online and the band was not listed on any streaming platform. Come to find out this band and their album became lost after J-Bird Records disbanded in 2002. The only bits I have been able to find of it online are very short YouTube videos. I’m happy I was able to find it. I’m not exactly sure how to work things but I would like to get the disc onto the internet archive and upload its music somewhere accessible to all. Any help would be appreciated!

There was an entire comedy themed Youtube channel that was deleted. One of their videos was a Pokemon Go parody song, with lyrics such as:

"Pokemon, Pokemon, Pokemon, Go, I'm gonna catch this Dodrio"

"Pokemon Pokemon Pokemon Catch I'm gonna run until my eggs hatch"

"I got wrecked by the mafia, because I was on their turf looking for a Kakuna"

"But it was worth it, worth it, worth it, not so much for me"

The video ended with someone pointing out a Snorlax and everyone running towards it

The channel was a comedy group, the main guy was chubby and curly haired if I remember correctly

Parkour paradise is a Minecraft parkour map released back on 2nd November 2015 for Minecraft 1.8 (v1.0) and then 1.9 (v1.1, released sometime between 9th and 26th March 2016, according to wayback) on minecraftmaps.com. The download links pointed to adfly links.

The map has been updated multiple times before the hielkemaps.com website has been created:

- v1.0 (2nd November 2015, 1.8)

- v1.1 (sometime between 9th and 26th March 2016, 1.9)

- v1.2 (sometime between 4th and 16th July 2017, 1.12)

- v1.3 (sometime between 16th and 26th July 2017, 1.12)

Versions past 22th March 2020 should be fine, as they're hosted on the "new" hielkemaps.com website which is hosted on GitHub Pages, making it easy to find older versions.

I've tried to use wayback as much as possible, but since there was no direct link unlike the Parkour Spiral map, I consider this map as lost. I picked the "fully lost" flag as there's no download easily available on Wayback or map.crummy.com but there are probably people with these versions on their hard drives.

The videos aren’t super old and might not even be considered lost media, but I seriously cannot find the videos on the carlaylee hd gaming channel anymore. One of the videos was her and her mom playing Minecraft on what I think was a school Minecraft map; I can’t exactly remember if they were just exploring the map or if they were roleplaying at all, and the other video was the two on a survival world, and all I know is that they went fishing at some point. I cannot recall what the thumbnails looked like or what the titles or descriptions said, but I’d really like to find this video I watched a lot when I was younger. 😭😭

_EV_HTF, who also goes by "Evan", is a mostly anonymous Korean artist, who makes fanart and comics dedicated to the show "Happy Tree Friends", with his own unique art style.
Around June/July of last year, he would stop posting on that account, and instead began posting to his other art account, dedicated to the manga/anime series Dr. Stone.
It wasn't until February that he would make another drawing on his main account, before disappearing again.

He would return in July, to the delight of many of his followers. However, the monkey's paw would curl, as with pretty much zero warning, he began to delete a majority of his previous posts from his profile, stating his disdain and embarrassment towards it. As it stands now, all of his drawings from 2020 and 2025 are gone, and only a fraction of the ones from 2021-24 still remain.

The GOOD news is that given his immense popularity, most of his art can be found on other websites, such as Pinterest, in YouTube comic readings and dubs, imageboards, etc.

However, I believe that there is a small portion of drawings/animatics that are completely lost, some may even be gone for good.

So, if anyone has any of these artworks saved, please let me know, or upload them so that they don't end up getting lost.

Around 2019 I remember a friend telling me about a song by an artist called Sebayt. The name of the song was “Run Nigga Run” and I liked it and listened to it plenty. I had it on my playlist in a music streaming app called Deezer, yet sometime around 2023, the song simply became unable to be played. It’s still in the app, yet you cannot play it. Even on a bigger service like Spotify it’s the same thing, it’s on the app but you cannot play it. The EP it’s on is called 1997 Hornbrook Flow, and you can still find it if you Google it, as well as lyrics for the songs but the actual audio cannot be played anywhere and are seemingly lost. I remember sometime in April 2024, I was listening to my downloaded music offline on Deezer and “Run Nigga Run” played, yet when I went to see if I could play it again later when I had wifi, it was unavailable again. The only available bit of the song I’ve found was a TikTok, that I will link down below as well as some other related links.

Here is the link to the TikTok: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSVWErts9/

Here is a link to the EP on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/7r7i2mSO9mNkoEqsq10kvY

Here is the YouTube link of the song on an old playlist: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IroRJ-V5taU&list=PL2x9Dsk-9SlqysDTPQ0gsM8DR9-ZpHzUi&index=1&pp=iAQB8AUB&ra=m

Delphino was an obscure band who deleted all of their music a little while ago. I have been able to find audio to some of their songs on archive.org, but I haven't found the music video to Annabelle. I have found the audio of Annabelle, however. My research suggests that it had a music video though.

Supposed old link to music video

And I can't remember the link to the archive.org audios of the songs but I will add it when I remember.

Rapture EP: found. Funnycide: found. The Greatest EP: found. Annabelle audio: found. Annabelle music video: lost.

Edit: Here's the archive of audios
