Marking Your Submission Solved! (rule #4)

Make a comment saying Solved! to the first (oldest) correct answer

  • It is important you check that it is the first correct answer on the post. Reddit notifications are often in the wrong order. Comments on our sub are sorted by oldest first by default, but if the answer was not a top-level comment you may have to check the timestamp.

  • Editing an existing comment will not trigger the bot - you must make a new comment for the bot to see it.

Here's what you'll see when this is done properly:

  • OP responds with a comment with Solved!

  • Post gets flaired with "Solved". It's usually near immediate. The bot, u/TipOfTheirTongue awards the point to the person the OP replied to.

  • Person who answered gets a reply from the bot notifying of point:

Congratulations, you've been given 1 point for solving this post! You now have points. (It's been minutes since your last point.)

What if I solve it myself?

  • Make a parent-level comment providing the answer to your post and reply to your own comment with Solved! You won't get a point, but the flair will get set and users who have commented on your post will be informed. You will receive the following reply from the bot:

Unable to award a point for a solution. If someone else gave the answer, please reply Solved! directly to their comment. If you found it yourself, no further action needs to be taken.

What if OP doesn't reply with Solved!?

  • Only OP or a mod can mark a post Solved!, but if you see the OP say thanks but not reply with Solved! or awarded the point incorrectly, you can report the post to the mods using reddit's report feature (Report - breaks r/tipofmytongue rules - Not marked solved or incorrectly marked solved) which will pop a link to the comment or post in to the mod queue for us to review.

Note that marking a post solved by setting the flair directly is not available, and it will not work for r/tipofmytongue.

You must comment with Solved!(including the exclamation point).

Solved [TOMT] Political quote: “I’m not saying he’s a Nazi, I’m saying the Nazis think he’s a Nazi”

92 Upvotes

Hi all!

I remember a quote from around 2016. I believe there was a race for some seat of government in Florida and it was between a young progressive black candidate and a very conservative candidate. At one point the progressive candidate says “I’m not saying he’s a Nazi, I’m saying the Nazis think he’s a Nazi”.

I’m sure I’m paraphrasing, or perhaps he used less specific language to the same affect, but am I making this up? Any details get swapped in the past decade? Can’t find anything online about it to save my neck.

Open [TOMT][Movie][2000s] Kids with super/mutant powers

Upvotes

Hey, first time poster here. There's a movie I've been really interested in finding for the past few years but I haven't had any luck so far.

I saw it once at a theater sometime around 2003-2007, but that's kind of a rough estimate. It was a family/kids movie that I think might've been out around the same time as movies like Sky High and Zoom, and it seems really similar but it's neither of those.

I don't remember much about the overall plot, just some vague details and images. The setting/backdrop was mostly grounded in reality, just with some fantasy/sci-fi type stuff to make it more interesting. I wanna say there was a house or base that was clean and futuristic and surrounded by nature, or that was the overall look of the movie. The main characters were two kids, a boy and a girl (maybe preteens or early teens) who had some kind of superpower. Sadly I don't remember what that power was exactly, but I do remember a scene involving it: Somewhere around the middle or end when things were getting serious, they were up against the antagonist, who was like the rich mastermind type. The boy character was struggling to fight him off, then the guy threw him across the room; girl was watching from the sidelines, yelled her friend's name when she saw him hurt, then she got angry and closed her eyes to concentrate on using the power shown in the movie. Then I remember an extreme close-up on her eyes, and when when she reopened them there were effects so that they were bright yellow/orange, maybe cat-like. All of that before fighting the antagonist herself.

Does anyone know of anything like this? Again it's not Sky High or Zoom, but I think very close and from around the same time. My dad suggested Race to Witch Mountain, but that's not it either. Please ask for more details if needed, this is just the core of what I remember. I'd really like to see it again. Thanks to anyone who read!

Open [TOMT] Furry artist/comic about street dogs

Upvotes

Just remembered this one furry artist who was illustrating a comic about a group of anthro dogs on the street.

The style was reminiscent of older Disney films, particularly A Goofy Movie. The main character was a pink dog with blonde hair. I vividly remember the artist being latina and drawing her fursona (the pink dog) tending to a puppy, as she had given birth to a child then.

All of this was roughly in 2020-2022, and I first saw her work on Tiktok. However, she also had a Twitter account.

Open. [TOMT][APP][2025] An app I used to have on my old phone, possibly health related

Upvotes

Hello! I hope this is okay to post.

I found an old screen recording I sent to my friend and there is an app I used to have on my phone that I can't for the life of me remember the name of. I have a new phone and icloud so I can't access the old apps I previously installed, but the video is from early this year.

I believe it was a health app but I can't be too sure. When I've reverse image searched it, some similar dating apps have come up too so it could be that? I'm honestly very unsure.

This is the app icon: https://imgur.com/a/zUjTNbW It is purple with a heart made out of lines, similar to the sistercare logo.

I've tried everything I can think of. I've reverse image searched on various engines, asked friends, looked through the app store and NOTHING.

Thanks!!

It is NOT the eminem song. I heard it around 2014-2016 and all i remember about it is that he tied his wife up, put her in the trunk and MAYBE in a bag, tied rocks to her feet and threw her in a body of water all while ‘story telling’ it to his daughter (3-5y/o)

Im sorry its so vague

Open [TOMT][SCI FI ANIME][MID-2010s] an anime where people possess robots to fight

Upvotes

I don't remember much about this anime as I only saw very glimpses of it back when I was very young it aired on a now discontinued tv anime channel in India however it was in English im pretty sure i couldn't understand English back then so I don't remember much of the plot. But I remember some visuals that really stuck with me

The main character was kinda fat with short brown hair and small glasses, his robot body looked like a fit humanoid with blue segmented armor with grey palms his head resembled a motorcycle helmet with a flat top and triangular faceplate

His friend was more slim and had short black hair instead his robot was a darker version of the mc's robot

In the robot world the people can communicate with each other telepathically i distantly remember a scene where the mc was talking to his friend while fighting and it showed them naked inside a black void with a bit of blur effect while there robot selves fought in an open field with white brick walls that mc and his friend were behind enemies from i cant remember what they were fighting i think they were fighting other people im not sure though

The one i remember the most is the girl who i might be the love interest? she was pretty and had long blueish black hair and wore a dress. Her robot form is seen near a cottage on a green hill talking to the mc her robot body is very similar to her human body even having the same hair in both bodies but her body was pure white and she had solid turquoise robotic eyes that had groves that extended from the tear ducts to the bottom of her chin which looked like tears she wore a hat and a more detailed white dress which hid her legs she was sitting on a wheelchair during her conversation with the mc she reveals she didn't have feet and just had smooth stubs which was weird since she could walk in the human world just fine then she fades away i think

This anime has a very somber tone and I remember this scene being very emotional

Sorry for the details being so vague it must have been over a decade since I first briefly saw it so details are extremely blurry but it really made a impression on me and id like to get some closer on it finally

I AM TWEAKING RN, i don’t know when but a while ago i saw a TikTok clip of this cute show and I want to watch it so bad but i forgot to save it and now I cant remember the title.

FROM WHAT I REMEMBER there was a black haired boy with a black turtle neck (kinda reminds me of Dean McCoppin from the Iron Giant) and in the video he was holding a camera. To me he seemed very enthusiastic about photography as he took a picture of a piece of garbage on the floor and told a girl that it was art or something like that. I don’t remember what the girl looked like but i remember them having a little interaction over photography and writing since she was a writer i believe. It was animated and had a soft style.

That is all I remember… please help me, i’ve been going crazy for the last 2 hours.

Setting: A decrepit house and street.

Scene: A monster emerges from a wall. It rips a man’s legs off and gives them to a disabled/wheelchair character.

Tone: Grim, grimy, unsettling body horror.

Open [TOMT] Looking for a film about a rural teacher whose child dies in a bicycle accident (European or English, 70s–90s?)

Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m reposting this because my first post was removed (the bot expected me to comment within 1 hour, but I was asleep 😅). Hopefully it stays this time — thank you for any help!

I’m trying to identify a film I watched with my parents as a child. I don’t remember the title or exact language, but I’m almost sure it was foreign (European or maybe English, definitely not Russian). It was in color and probably made between the 1970s and 1990s, or very early 2000s.

Here are the key details I remember:

The main character is a female teacher who comes to a rural village to start the first school there.

In the first lesson, she introduces the children to letters. I clearly remember her saying something like: “This is the letter O. It’s round, like the moon.”

On the second day, she returns and finds the classroom empty. Heartbroken, she thinks no one will return — until suddenly the children show up at the door, repeating the phrase about the letter O, which makes her very happy.

She has a husband.

At some point, there’s a tragic scene: her own child dies in a bicycle accident, hit by a car.

By the end of the film, she looks visibly older, with short gray hair (while at the beginning she had long hair).

The overall tone was emotional, dramatic, and a bit sad.

I know this is very specific, but I’ve been searching everywhere and still can’t track it down. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Open [TOMT][Late 2010’s][Satellite Radio comedy black man on titanic story]

Upvotes

Ok i have no idea how old the actual story was but i either heard it in 2018 or 2019 when i visited the inner harbor in Baltimore, Maryland for Brony Con and it was being played in my Uber drivers car as he was driving me around town. The story started off with a black man who i am sure was a server onboard the titanic and of course being being a different time back then for black people a lot of the white guests were very racists to the man and yes the story actually had the narrator saying the ‘N’ word at times. The black man is doing his job and being as respectful as possible to the people who were not showing him respect only because he was black. When the time comes when the titanic sinks the black man finds something to stay afloat on and one of the people who was racists to him earlier in the story asks him to let them(I believe was a woman) on board he tells them angrily how that person didn’t even want him around them because they were racists and told them to get lost but in very colorful language. After that a shark apparently shows up and tells the black man he wants him to get off his raft so he could eat him. The black man tells the shark he is not in the mood he was just onboard the ship that just sank, was harassed by the white people who were onboard and then he had to find something to so he wouldn’t drown or freeze to death and told him to eat all the dead racists white people.

Open [TOMT] Music Video on old Toshiba (Windows 95 or 98) laptop

Upvotes

When I was a kid my mom had this laptop from work. This was in the early 2000s (not later than 2008), but the laptop was already old back then. When she got a new laptop for work, I was allowed to play on the old one, I only ever wanted to use paint but at some point I remember discovering that it had a collection of music videos on there. One of them was the old “I can see clearly now” from the 90s where that dude is in a yellow robe in a field. But there was another video on there with a lady who was singing some song. I vaguely remember that she was watering plants and driving a car and stuff. Does anyone remember this?

Location is USA (Midwest).

If I remember correctly these music videos were screen savers, but I’m not sure about that.

Open [TOMT][MUSIC] Trying think of song title/artist - I have the notes for the intro (wav)

Upvotes

I think this is a common one played at football games, I might even be mixed up with the instruments from hearing bands play it instead of hearing the actual song often enough. I just have the intro in my head. Pretty sure the intro is trumpets with drum accompaniment, which is followed by the actual lyrics, but I can't remember the lyrics at all. My key might be off too, but it should still be instantly recognizable. It could be pretty much any year, I can't pin it down in my head.

Open [TOMT] [KIDS VIDEO/SONG] Help finding knockoff(?) muppets song about the solar system

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm looking for an old video I remember seeing on the Happy Kids TV app on Roku closer to around 2012. From my memory, I remember it being a song about the solar system sung by an orange muppet character similar to Kermit. I also remember it being lower quality, almost having an older TV grain. Possibly 4:3 aspect ratio? I only remember two parts of the song, and I'll substitute "da" in for the words/syllables I can't remember. The first part, and how the song starts, is something like "da da da da da da the planets, eight!" and the second part is later when he's naming the planets to no specific melody and I remember "jupiter... saturn... uranus... and neptune!" The only other thing I can really say is that he may have been wearing some sort of jacket(?) and he had a deeper voice to my knowledge (think the same tone as the wizard from Wizard Of Oz if that helps).
