    While that's the most told story about why The Noid was discontinued, it also had a lot to do with the promotion they had at the time about the 30 minutes or less delivery time. Caused a LOT of delivery drivers to get into traffic accidents. The whole company did a rebrand after that, and The Noid just happened to be a casualty.

    Fun Fact: The Lost Character “Morse the Mole” from the FNAF fangame “Popgoes” was recently got the Polygon Man treatment, turning into the final boss of a spin-off.
  • Finally, someone talked about Judy Winslow leaving Family Matters and what happened. Thank you
  • I think there's that one "lost character" that should be mentioned and his name is "Jimmy Negatron" . He is the main antagonist who only appeared in the Jimmy Neutron video game, but he never appeared in the show (the closest to Jimmy's evil counterpart is Evil Jimmy). He's basically just Jimmy Neutron but with a beard. (He should be called Jimmy Electron since electrons are negative, which it's fitting)
  • i had a nightmare about the noid when i was about 4-6 years old. that dream probably traumatised me and i still remember it clearly to this day. it was definitely the noid standing on the top of my stairs. but whats strange is that i had never seen the noid. it was only until watching an episode of The Goldbergs that i recognised him, and found out hes apparently the dominos mascot. as a kid, since i live in britain, i had never seen any adverts for dominos and ive never lived near one or anything. i dont know how the noid got into my nightmares but he did.

    There's a decent amount of lost characters in wrestling. Most have clear reasons for WWE not using them like Muhammad Hassan, but others like Kizarny just disappeared out of nowhere.

    Damn that last one is so depressing, to think that people can just remove characters at the drop of a hat. Not lost characters per say, but PHIL FACE (or just Phil) is probably my favorite example of a lost character. His appearances were super brief as like either wall art or as characters with vaguely the same face. He was one of the staff members who left Adventure Time around 2011. It's also weird and potentially lore breaking if you think about it for a moment. I haven't watched too much Adventure Time recently and I stopped watching around say 2014 or 2015. However, the fact that there's other humans besides Finn The Human kind of breaks the idea that Finn is just 'The Last Human'. Somehow he's just always been there and no one has acknowledged that he is one of the few humans that remain. He reminds me a lot of the businessmen that were trapped within the ice cube. There isn't a lot of lore surrounding him, and it's funny how this one cameo gets my noggin jogging. I was a big fan of the Adventure Time comics around the time the show was first airing. So there was this one character called Randall who is basically a PHIL FACE. I didn't get the joke at first, and I thought it was an in universe explanation for why PHIL FACE was prominent as a portal to hell. Also now that I'm thinking about it, I find it funny how Graggle Simpson is similar to the PHIL FACE. Where it's a reflection of how the creator sees themselves through their own art (is it a coincidence that both are naked? I think not.).
  • For Flintstone Jr, i have developed my own theory. So, we see that he gets a dinosaur pet in the book, and in the TV show, the dinosaur is a lot bigger. So what if a lot of time had passed since the book and the show. My theory is that there is a decade or so time gap i between the book and show and that Jr (who looks to be around 7 or 8) went away to college. A few years before that however, we see that the flintstones had a second baby, a daughter, in the process.

    Happy Appy? cigar puff Haven’t heard that name in a long time.
  • Rob from the amazing world of gumball is an interesting case: he appears in early episodes but then disappears, then they show that he was sent to "the void" and returns as a villain
  • @diggitybar996
    Maybe we're all lost characters in somebody's life if you think about it
  • 8:37 the intentional jarring switch between "guys, its not so bad! fan favorite characters can come back one day!", to Happy Appy.
  • @lyleabner2475
    Lost sitcom characters are funny to me cause they never expected anyone to remember or care like the original aunt Vivian or that one cousin from family matters that disappeared with no explanation

    The hamster butlers from Flushed Away. I remember watching the original trailer as a kid and wondering why those guys weren’t in the movie. Later when I heard of the Aardman studio fire in 2005, I figured the movie was originally claymation and had to be remade in cgi, but it turns out it was always computer animated (because they knew animating water+clay would be a nightmare). As for the butlers, apparently having two characters pamper the lead was undermining the theme of loneliness. It’s wild to think how late into production some characters can be cut.
  • God that last one hurt a little too much but it's nice to see she's still around and doing well.
  • @HomuraAkemiHQ
    The author of Happy Appy stated that it was intended to be satire.
  • I remember seeing Polygon Man on an episode of One Minute Melee where he faced off against Master Hand… who killed him. Learning about how Fred originally had a son, I could see Fred Jr. working as an older brother to Pebbles. 13:07 If I ever met the Noid, like the dimensional merge happened on a lesser scale and I was unlucky enough to encounter the freak, I would just try sit him down to tell him the tale of Kenneth Lamar Noid. Also if the Dimensional Merge happened on a lesser scale, I’d try track down Wooldor Sockbat so I could get him to use his Clum Babies to resurrect some fellas.
