It could even be a youtube video or movie that you don't think anyone reading this has heard of besides you.

Maybe not super obscure, but I loved BMX XXX on the original Xbox. It was overshadowed my the plethora of other games like Tony Hawk, Aggressive Inline and SSX but I still love it.

A friend and I used to play Liero Xtreme lots when we were kids. I have never seen any mention of that game anywhere on any forum in my years on the internet

This absolutely terrible in the most hilarious ways B movie that may or may not have ever actually been released called The Astrologer. It was filmed in 1975 and apparently lost until just recently. A local theater got a copy and did a showing of it. Fortunately, it’s now preserved on the internet archive! https://archive.org/details/the-astrologer-1975-previously-lost-film

Denver the Last Dinosaur!

I've never met anyone who knows what this is, even if I sing what I remember from the theme song.

My husband is slightly older than me and he had no idea wtf I was describing. It was a late 80s/early 90s cartoon with a green long necked Dinosaur with sunglasses that performed in a band.

I had to YouTube the theme song to make him believe it was real.

The film Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! is reminiscent of early Parker & Stone or Troma, and the title basically says it all. In spite of its non-existent budget and inexperienced cast, I recall it being competently paced and downright hilarious (on purpose!), including multiple memorable quotes such as "don't be making fun of my hoe-saw," "dude, she's twelve," "comparative literature," and naturally, the titular "hey, stop stabbing me!"

A board game called Off the Rails. You play as goblins in a mine, and use mine carts to collect gems. It was on kickstarter maybe 5 years ago.

When I was a child I saw a stop motion animation called 3 Little Pigs Sing a Gig. It was this rather surreal, felt puppet musical of the aforementioned nursery rhyme.

winnebago man. Not as obscure after they made the movie, but the found film of that era has a few other hits if you go down the rabbit hole

A movie called Sir Henry at Rawlinson's End, extremely surreal British Arthouse. Like an opium dream from the brain of a fox hunting aristo, part comedy part stream of consciousness spoken word poetry. The gags, puns, and quips are truely monumental. It's a gem, though not PC, you've been warned: https://youtu.be/N6W5RB50fXk?si=eYUlKqkTyyMvHz-Z

There was also a radio series and LP. I've heard the radio version but never seen the movie before.

This is a kids song that's catchy. 90k views. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-uPsYA35qfQ

Necroville (2007) A hilarious B monster movie. Think Clerks meets Ghostbusters.

ZZT, I think the game that completes "Ready Player One" is loosely referencing it.

Edit: Holy cow, I had no idea

OK I'll have to go harder. Jet Set Willy or Reptilion

When I was a kid, I remember seeing a trailer on TV for a Captain America movie. The tone of the trailer was dark and gritty, it looked like it was a drama and you don't find out it's even a Captain America movie until they reveal him at the very end.

Spent countless hundreds of hours playing Icicle Works on my Commodore +4 when I was a kid and I've never met anyone who's even heard of it, or remembers the +4 over the 64

Not really a particular piece of media, but I saw an artist on twitter that made anime style art but with a Tex Avery twist, it's very strange seeing it but it intrigued me so much.

Warning though some of it is NSFW: https://twitter.com/acrylictoon

Tank Girl! It's a movie I have loved for so long. Makes me cry with laughter. Got my wife and son to watch it and was promptly banned from picking movies for family viewing for like 4 months. That did not take away my love for the film.
