I know the video glitches up a little, but it's the best I could get. This took me all of 10 minutes to make.

For those who don't know about Stay Tooned, I've written a summary of the game for myself in OneNote because I was bored.

"Stay Tooned is a point and click adventure game for the PC that was released in 1996 and made by Funnybone Interactive. It's played entirely in first person, like Myst. In the game, the player takes the role of a patron living in a large apartment building complex. One night, while surfing through the channels on their television set, the player subliminally receives messages from various cartoon characters, either forbidding or encouraging them to press the big red button on their remote control. Unable to control their curiosity, the player presses the button and the cartoon characters escape into the real world from their world inside the television set. They steal the player's remote control and take over the entire building, turning it into an animated cartoon. The player must then explore the now drastically altered apartments to recover the remote control and use it to zap the cartoons back into their own world."

I've never played the game (and I'm kicking myself for not knowing about it until now), but I really think it needs a re-release (or even better, a remake). The video clip is from the very start of the game.
