The Fairly OddGoombas : Lost Media

The Fairly OddGoombas

So, this was a short made in early 2009 and was available on YouTube up until 2017.

The short itself featured Mario instead of Timmy, and Goombario and Goombella instead of Wanda and Cosmo. It was essentially a parody of The Fairly OddParents.

What I remember was that it featured actual clips from The Fairly OddParents, but with faces of Mario (Paper Mario artwork), Goombella, and Goombario placed over Timmy, Wanda, and Cosmo's faces, and redubbed with different dialogue.

It got deleted in 2017, and was never archived. Shortly after the deletion, an user reuploaded the video on Dailymotion but the reupload got deleted in 2019.

All I can find is a mention on a blog stating that one of the users watched the video.

Wow, this sounds wild. Never knew this existed. The mix of Fairly OddParents and Mario? That’s insane lol.

Did you hear anything about why it got removed initially in 2017? Was it copyright, or did the uploader take it down themselves? That could give us some clues on how to recover it.

The uploader of this video (who I don't know the name of) got terminated because he was accused of way too controversial things.

Honestly, it sucks that the uploader did controversial things, but I just want to see that video again. It was hilarious seeing Mario, Goombario, and Goombella in those roles!

Wow, really? I thought it was just gone because of the cease and desist. That's wild.

Damn, that's a twist I didn't expect to read here. It's always a shame when controversies overshadow creative efforts. Makes you wonder if someone out there still has a copy.

Yeah I remember watching it back in the day. It's crazy how some of this old content just disappears, but the controversy makes sense. Too bad tho, it was a pretty funny parody!

It's annoyingly common that these brilliant projects disappear into the ether. YouTube doesn't value historical preservation at all. Hoping someone has it on an old hard drive or something.

Parodies like these are absolute gems. It's a shame they keep getting deleted. There's a subreddit for Fairly OddParents that might have more info. Worth a shot?

Have you tried using the Wayback Machine? Sometimes you get lucky and find a working snapshot. Also, check if anyone mentioned it on old Reddit threads or forums.

Yes, and it wasn't archived.

This is why we need more backups and better archiving tools!! But honestly, it sounds like a weird and specific piece of content. If nobody's reuploaded it by now, I'm not holding my breath.

This happens a lot with niche content. If it was deleted in 2017 and wasn't archived, best bet might be reaching out on forums or contacting the original uploader if you can dig up their info. Sometimes they might have backups or know more about the video's whereabouts.

Ugh, that's so frustrating! I loved that short. I kinda wish someone out there has a copy on an old hard drive or something. Never give up hope tho, lost media shows up in the weirdest places sometimes!

Wow, that's wild. The reupload got deleted too? There has to be someplace where it still exists... Maybe somebody downloaded it before it was removed?

Found it on Dailymotion for a bit but now it's gone? Man, stuff like this just makes me miss the old YouTube so much. Things were simpler back then.

This is a goldmine, thanks for bringing it up! I've been on a mission to track down lost YouTube videos, but never encountered this one. Do you know the username of the original uploader or any specific keywords? Might help narrow the search.

I think the original uploader went something like "[name]TheCartoonFan", but I don't know the full name.

4 months, 3 weeks ago by Whopper1

Who cares? It's not like the video was that good anyway. Just move on, people. 😂

I think I saw a thread once mentioning 'MarioTheCartoonFan' or something similar. Not completely sure, though. Anyone else heard of that?

4 months, 3 weeks ago by RandomViewer19

Actually, '[name]TheCartoonFan' could be really useful! Try looking up similar names on the Wayback Machine or in old YouTube comment sections. Sometimes these details can trigger algorithms to dig up related content.

Man, if only we had the full name! Could narrow down search results on YouTube or old threads. 🤔 Anyone else remember specifics?

OMG, I totally remember Fairly OddGoombas! Used to watch that all the time back in the day. Can't believe it got deleted. I didn't even know it was parodied like that with Mario characters!
