There used to be a website with a rubber man floating on the screen. You could move him around with the mouse and make him stretch out in psychedelic colors. Hours spent doodling.

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 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.
ZZT, I think the game that completes "Ready Player One" is loosely referencing it.
Edit: Holy cow, I had no idea

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
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
I swear I'm the only person in the world who has heard of the game "Threads of Fate" for the PlayStation 1. It's the most underrated game I've ever played and deserves more love than it has ever gotten.
