[TOMT] Trying to find a video that traumatized me as a kid

so basically when I was a wee lil’ baby boy (around when I was 4-6) I was absolutely addicted to mr potato heads. I just couldnt get enough of the things. but one day on YouTube, and I can’t remember if this was bundled with a collection of other actually real mr potato head commercials or just standalone, but I vividly remember coming across a supposed mr potato head commercial that was 3D animated, mostly just in a completely white void other than the setting. it featured a violent, barbaric mr potato head, smaller than the average mr potato head that didn‘t speak English and instead just shouted “POTATO” whenever it spoke i think, and what I remember most is that this crazed mr potato head kicked another mr potato head off of a cliff and slowly panned out into what I can remember as a load of mr potato head skulls or something adjacent, and the only other thing I remember is there being a shot at the end with a mr potato head box and the logo for the toy, but then the violent one kicked down the logo and shouted “POTATO” one more time before the video ended. I only ever remember watching it once and never seeing it ever again. it was so horrifying and it terrified me as a kid (I should probably mention it was around 2015-2017), and I’ve wanted to rediscover the vide ever since (for what reasons I have no idea as it’s still visibly taking a toll on me just talking about it), but I have never found it again..

I want to know if anybody else also remembers this or if I’m just completely insane and on my own so please help me out here I’m trying to rediscover childhood trauma

NOOOOO

I screwed up on Taiwan with eleven seconds left because I typed Tibet instead because I geniunely couldn’t think of its name but knew it began with a T and technically belonged to china.

literally don’t wanna forgive myself for this. I can identify the flag of Nauru but not the flag of Taiwan…

Guy I made

so like I made this guy for an AU where this guy is the one that enters the circus instead of pomni (definitely not an excuse to decanonise things or get character’s personalities wrong)

so let’s just go through the shit I’ve shoveled into a character shaped mold and see what you think of it.

first things first; personality. he’s an absolute sweetheart and the friendliest little goober you’ll ever see, and also he’s a complete and total snugglemuffin and will hug, squeeze and snuggle anybody he wants to (as long as they give consent.), shown by him literally just being a 5”10 wolf plushie. he also gets disheartened and beaten down easily because of his friendliness and no real presentation or desire of violence constantly getting him bullied in his life prior to him entering the circus (and it didn’t help he shattered like fiberglass either). he also isn’t exactly the brightest bulb in the box, but makes up for far more than that with his kindness being able to bring out the best in *almost* anyone. he’s also a great listener and understands emotions well so he’ll give emotional support when necessary.

next thing, what does he like/dislike?

well he likes video games, cozy environments (leading him to often try and organise little get-togethers with his new friends but often having them go wrong like having him spill six whole cups of hit chocolate over himself or a very heated game of monopoly or even watching a movie some people dislike causing arguments [god forbid people have opinions], but on the rare occasion they do go right, they’re a pleasant experience and very calming compared to all the other shenanigans going on in the circus.) and eating a lot of food because he’s a gluttonous fool. as for relationships with his peers well, he has mixed opinions on Zooble, is on very good terms with Kinger (despite constantly worrying about his deteriorating mental state while around him) and is pretty decent friends with Ragatha (seeing as they’re both technically the same thing), he’s deathly afraid of Jax, no I will not elaborate and finally he’s besties with Gangle because of a shared love for drawing and also he just thinks she’s cool I guess (listen I’m really running out of ideas now), also he *might* definitely 100% absolutely have a huge crush on her but doesn’t know if she’d actually wanna be in a romantic relationship (Spoiler alert: I’m abusing my AU rule to make this a thing. but like, tell me that if you were in a room with someone you liked and then another person that’s like almost twice as lovable walks into the room and sits next to you allowing you to get on well with them you wouldn’t like them more. and also there’s a god controlling you and forcing you to like them for his own sadistic satisfaction. also Zooble gets Gangle in like every other universe so just live this one for him please)

god that derailed, always where was I? oh yeah, what he doesn’t like. uhh… well he doesn’t like when people get into arguments and fight, he literally could not fight anybody, in order to do that he’d need some sort of ranged metal gunpowder device with a long tube on it and a trigger and also threaten something he holds dear to his heart, like his lungs or his best friend, the meaning can go any of two ways. also he doesn’t like Jax and I’m still not elaborating.

oh yeah and you might be wondering, what’s his name?

I DON’T HAVE A NAME FOR HIM…

so yeah if you could help with that please leave some ideas in the comments much appreciated

anyways bye! And remember, D O N ‘ T S M O K E C R A Y O L A S

TADC OC I guess…

Before I say anything about him, yes I know he looks absolutely abhorrent and trust me it doesn’t get any better from here.

So I haven’t got a name for him yet so yeah it’s already derailed

Anyways he’s like, a giant plushie and he’s super sweet and childish and silly and loves hugging people and stuff, and he’d give his own life if it meant to protect his friends. Also I don’t really know why but he’s really scared of Jax for some reason. I mean there’s a very good reason you’ll see later but he was scared of him before that sooo..

Anyways he grew close to his new peers very quickly and will do anything in his powerless power to keep them safe and prevent them from abstracting. So basically, he’s an emotional support animal.

Now I know what you’re asking; “But OP, why haven’t you leapt off a bridge alread- I mean, where does he come into the story?” And to answer that I give you this: he came in some time before Pomni arrived. That’s all. He hasn’t got much more other than that and the fact he cried when he realised he couldn’t play his precious super Mario games anymore because Nintendo would sue their asses if Mario was in the game.

Anyways what are his relationships with the others I hear nobody at all ask? Well he’s friends with mostly everyone, terrified of Jax, sees Kinger as a sort of father figure (who would’ve guessed) and this is technically an OCxCanon ship but he sorta has a crush on Gangle but just assumes she doesn’t like him back anyway (at least the same amount).

Yeah this was a mistake posting this here.

Wait why do I even have an OC for this show I barely even follow or support it (yes I know just get the angry medieval mob with pitchforks and torches already)

And also a main part of the cast is that they are all completely different to each other whether it’s looks or personality and yet somehow he still doesn’t really fit in.. HOW… that’s like failing a survey..
