Fake/Non-existent Lost Media you wish was real

Basically all the Ed Edd n Eddy episodes. The more Ed’s, the better.

I spent 5 years trying to find Yeah Yeah Beebiss I, only to find out it never existed. I'm glad that at least now I know, but I can't help but feel disappointed there wasn't more to it.

I think I'm in the same boat, except I'm holding out hope.

Ah, I see. I've mostly been out of the discussion and only ever rarely popping in out of curiosity. It would be interesting if some weird prototype photo comes up out of nowhere and proves us all wrong, like other media that's been written off. But, I'm inclined to agree as well.

Through interviews with the people who ran the Beebiss ads, they told us this type of false listing was common back in the day, just to see if competitors were copying your work. But apparently the guy who made the list of games was a bit of a comedian himself, and just thought this type of thing was funny.

As much as I would like to believe it was an unreleased or unlocalized game, the evidence just doesn't support it. On the contrary, it implies the opposite, I'm sorry to say.

Ok, I'll try to well... describe just what the heck my 7 year old self somehow "remembered" seeing on Netflix once despite not being an actual episode of the show:

The episode starts with Dr. Ivo Robotnik, Scratch & Grounder on the Eggmobile in what looked like a desert with blue cactuses that are shaped like cubes. Robotnik tells them to go & find the mysterious "black eggplant" which apparently can be used to make particularly amazing scrambled eggs. Scratch & Grounder dig around the place with their shovels for a while, only for the black eggplant to show up biting Grounder's nose for whatever reason. It had 2 green eyes with black pupils, duck-like legs & tree-stump looking arms. Grounder fell down because the black eggplant's bite was quite the unexpected attack. The eggplant ran away & Scratch tried to catch it but to no avail. Then suddenly the eggplant started to grow, which got Scratch really scared.

Robotnik: "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?!?"

Eventually he turned around to see the black eggplant, now about as huge as a regular house, which got him to scream in the sheer horror of such an eggplant in that size. Grounder thought of attacking the eggplant on its tail, which was shaped like a pancake on 2 skateboards. This instead led to the eggplant to jump around like it drank too much coffee. The eggplant then ran off to who knows where, so they went after it.

Then it cuts to Sonic & Tails at a city that looked to have been made of magnets. Sonic was talking to some weird mix between a disco ball & a waffle that had 3 legs. I don't remember the exact dialogue, but in hindsight it sounded like he was making constant Star Trek references.

I do remember a bit of Sonic's dialogue however:
"Hmmm... reminds me a bit of the movie "Invasion of the Beam Boulders", where a bunch of boulders came around destroying planet Vuzzer."
"I don't drink soda all that much. Some of it makes me feel like I'm at a weird construction site."

Tails I don't think said anything throughout the scene, though I think that, for some reason, his ears were slightly larger than they should be. Afterwards, Sonic & Tails left after... I don't know WHAT, it looked like they were eating chili dogs, but with extra weird purple toppings that looked like they were made of wood & iron. We finally hear Tails talk around this scene:

"Gee, it sure is dark around here."

This particular part of this city looked dark, somewhat looking like something out of Sailor Moon, but with deranged looking shapes that give out a Ren & Stimpy vibe. The colors used were rather dark, specifically the kind of dark colors you'd see in an NES game(which is oddly fitting considering DiC also did some Mario cartoons before AOSTH). Sonic & Tails were in darker shades, now with Tails rather hard to see outside of the white streaks at the end of his 2... tails & of course his eyes. Sonic wasn't that hard to see, but he was noticeably more navy-like in color, but his shoes remained the same, except for one moment my 7 year old self remembered where his shoes were mistakenly colored sepia with gray lines. The dialogue they say is a bit muddy in my brain, but I think they were talking about the strange environment around them & what could possibly be around places hidden within these parts of the city.

Then it cuts back to the antagonists, who eventually got control of the black eggplant. Robotnik changed his mind upon seeing a weird city & decided to have the eggplant take over said city, instruction Scratch & Grounder to follow the eggplant so that Sonic & Tails could be captured. Before they got to the city, they had to deal with what looked like the flying buzzers from the 1st Sonic game, but more with the navy kind of blue & cube-shaped helmets. Plus the projectiles they shot would, instead of just going through the ground like in the games, would become a bowling ball when touched by the ground. These bowling balls would move in random directions, then start flying to who-knows-where. Scratch thinks of an idea, & tries to get Grounder to take some rope out of him to attach some of those flying bowling balls to the eggplant & it works... until the bowling balls decide to cut the ropes for whatever reason, using their noses that are shaped like shark fins. But hey, they made it into the city, which turns out to be the magnetic city!

This city seems to have been populated with weird objects that looked either like mixes of random objects or were just straight up bizarre. However, 2 of the buildings came to life & put Scratch & Grounder into a car which looked to be made of tomatoes, which drove off into a very purple arena... for some reason. The eggplant was still running & leaping like crazy, with everyone screaming for their lives as it went through the city, eating some of the buildings along the way, such as a giant green pineapple that he spit out once it started to dance inside him... because it turned out to be alive & a jazz musician that had 10 legs that looked like sunflower "thingies" & 5 arms that looked like a mix between an elephant's leg & a tree branch. He had an Australian accent, but the dialogue isn't that clear outside of "g'day mate" and the rest being about turbulent pinecones that eat zebras.

Then the eggplant picks up another building, which reveals to be part of the location Sonic & Tails were at, which scares Tails of course. Sonic tries to calm the beast down, but it only morphs into a orange tank that starts shooting projectiles that looked like paper plates. Suddenly, a robotic bean shows up, telling them that the eggplant/tank could very well be a walrus on a spoon-spring, but Sonic has no idea what that means(I sure don't know either). The robotic bean then takes off on his jetpack, saying that he is flying to planet Kermation. Sonic & Tails then start to chase towards the tank, knowing that they need to stop it before it causes too much trouble. We get to see what those projectiles do:

The projectiles, which again look like paper plates, apparently turn things into small red orbs that fly around & suck things that are even remotely salty. Scratch & Grounder, meanwhile, narrowly avoid one of those projectiles by getting out of the tomato car & running as far from it as possible, but almost get obliterated by a red orb which pulls a hammer out of its seemingly neverending dimension inside it that causes a mini earthquake every time it lands. Grounder then gets the idea that they can use the hammer to stop Sonic & Tails on their tracks. They decide to fight the red orb & Scratch wins, gaining the hammer in the process. He then decides to bang it until they hear Sonic. This goes on for a while, with a scene showing a top-down view of how large the city was. Eventually, after what seemed like hours to them, they finally catch up to Sonic & Tails, who are currently down in what looked to be the sewers of the place, except with floating plant-like birds & yellow bricks instead of any form of liquid you'd normally see in the sewers. Sonic tries to do the disguise thing like he normally does, but Scratch brings the hammer, causing Sonic to slip up & crash right into a wall, which busts open to reveal a... sideways volcano!? Grounder pushes Sonic & Tails into the volcano, which knocks them towards who-knows-where.

Scratch & Grounder think that they have defeated the 2 heroes for good, but are still stuck in these strange sewers. They try to look for a way out of the sewers. Then suddenly, the tank can be heard quietly in the background, which Grounder then starts to think that perhaps the tank is somewhere near. Despite that observation, they can't seem to find a way out. Then, Dr. Klannus appears, who had blue hair, had a weird nose that was shaped like a parrot beak, but more bulky & a dinosaur legs. He told the bots that they need some special "hypermeds" in order to leave the place. He presents them these "hypermeds", which are in a can. They both take them... only to suddenly get tired & start sleeping.

"Alright Tails, let's get outta here."

Yup, it was Sonic in disguise. And he found the way out(a frying pan-looking thing which has a spring on top of it) & they were up, over AND GOOOOONE!!!! The tank was still a bit away, & Robotnik was near as well.

"Well Sonic, looks like this tank is starti-"

He almost tried to say something, only to then scream as the tank then suddenly morphed into a giant green cat, chasing Robotnik towards a giant mountain made of ketchup. Sonic & Tails just... watch in confusion as to what was going on, but eventually they decide to just move on & help rebuild the town. It seemed to have taken days to rebuild, but with the help of them both, they were congratulated by the mayor of the city(which is apparently named "Ztrannsville"), who was a blue lizard with cube-shaped eyes & a cowboy hat(kinda similar to Rango). Scratch & Grounder then show up to try & capture Sonic, but then they're thrown by some of the citizens into the same mountain Robotnik got himself stuck in.

"I HATE THAT CAT!!!" Robotnik screams as he is still stuck on that gooey ketchup & now accompanied by his 2 doofy bots. The "Sonic Sez" segment I believe was about why you shouldn't exterminate trains, which itself was weird to see being talked about, but the only other things I could remember it was that the conductor was a bird in 1960s clothing & there was a ton of TNT after the turn signal at the path the train is supposed to head to.


Dang 7 year old me really had a particularly strange AOSTH memory.

The Wikipedia page for the show Nudnik lists two episodes that aren't even real, but I think it would have been really interesting if there were these unreleased/unfinished episodes for an already obscure program considering how awesome the art direction for that show was, so any cels or storyboards from them would be a goldmine to find
