Missing Episode/Web Original

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Several early Lonelygirl15 videos have been removed from the official listing (in some cases, probably due to copyright infringement); namely, "First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails", "School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!", "Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey and O'n.", "Proving Science Wrong", "My Lazy Eye (and P. Monkey gets Funky!)", "The Tolstoy Principle (and Dad "talks" to Daniel)" and "Daniel, Be Careful". The videos are referenced on numerous occasions in later episodes and still viewable on YouTube.
    • The later series 1 episode "Uncle Dan (D-Bone Remix)" is missing from both lg15.com and YouTube, but is viewable on Revver.
  • The earliest portions of the League of Intergalactic Cosmic Champions were erased from the web (although various posters had offline copies of most of it), the copies were later put up on a Geocities site.
    • Thanks to Yahoo shuttering Geocities in 2009, it is now gone again from the web.
  • Most of the first season of Loading Ready Run is unavailable; in the early days, videos would be phased out to make room for newer ones (this was before the existence of YouTube). Most of the episodes have not been reposted, due to some of them having copyrighted music, the crew being busy with other things, and that most of them were just plain bad.
  • CUT!, a Slender Man blog that was distinguished by its heavy use of Gallows Humor, has been wiped clean of entries.
  • Limyaael's first Faean novels, the Orlath trilogy, were taken down from Fiction Press due to someone plagiarizing them (Or something). Which is a real shame, because what little is known about the plot of those novels, both through Limyaael's comments and the other novels taking place in the same universe, seem to indicate that the trilogy was an absolutely brilliant Deconstructive Parody of cliched fantasy.
  • Some Creepypastas are based on this kind of thing. Some examples include "Dead Bart", "Suicide Mouse", "Red Mist/Squidward's Suicide", and "Candle Cove" (which is technically a lost SERIES rather than a lost episode).
  • Draw Your Own Story episode 1-9 and a good chunk of episode 10, due in part to moderators deleting old threads on the forum where they were hosted, and in part due to the site being hacked and a lot of uploaded files (i.e. images that made up episode 10) ending up lost forever. What little we know of them is pieced together from memories as well as old episodes still on the contributors' hard drives.
  • Several writers of the original Darwin's Soldiers RP on Furtopia played out scenes via private messaging. Those scenes were never released.
  • Game music podcast Nitro Game Injection has two missing episodes: #6, which happened but wasn't recorded, and #54, which KyleJCrb isn't sure ever actually happened...
  • An early website for Back to The Future: The Ride featured a tour of Doc Brown's institute. One page contained some clever blueprints of Doc's post-trilogy inventions, including a personal time travel suit, a hover-bike, and an improved Mr. Fusion. Sadly, the Internet Archive only saved two captures of the blueprints section, and neither one successfully captured all of the blueprints.
  • The Nostalgia Chick's first livestream, which was unrecorded.
  • The website PO.B.R.E. is dedicated to archiving translation and romhacks in brazillian portuguese. Unfortunately, the are a few missing translations.
  • Pornographic pay websites often have some videos that simply vanish after a while. Reasons vary, from the video being unpopular to unforeseen legal troubles to the girl turning out to be underage, but one rather heartwarming example is the "Sandra" episode from the famous Bangbus site. The reason Sandra's video dissappeared from the site? She and the webmaster got married!
  • The first episode of Incognito Cinema Warriors XP (Bride of the Gorilla) is no longer available for order or download: a combination of format changes in subsequent episodes, dissatisfaction with the quality of the episode and a lack of desire to redo it in the current format.
  • The Cinema Snob episode on Grizzly II. The movie itself was unfinished and thus never commercially released. The film's producer found the review and ordered it taken down. Since Fair Use laws become extra muddy with unreleased material, Brad complied and took it down.
  • Brows Held High episode on The Girlfriend Experience was made before Oancitizen joined TGWTG, and it was reposted on the site when he was too busy to make new episodes. Problem was, that on the initial run, the show was known by few people, and most of them friends, so no one pointed out the sexist undertones in many jokes. On the site, several fans got angry, which lead to Oancitizen removing the video from his account, and recording a commentary apologizing for it. And the less we say about Shit TGWTG Fans Say, the better...
    • And now his episode on Crispin Glover's What Is It? is gone. Though for reasons similar to the Cinema Snob example above, the movie has no commercial release and is only allowed to be played at private screenings with Glover's presence.
  • The fourth episode of Mr. Brilliant's Reviews was taken down because of YouTube policies. It was a review of the Saga of Tanya the Evil. Luckily it can be found on Dailymotion.
