The animated | The animated "Red Room" legend involves two friends discussing a rumor about a mysterious internet pop-up ad posing the question "Do you like —?" with fatal consequences upon closure. Despite initial skepticism, one friend investigates, finding no information online. However, the pop-up appears during routine browsing, featuring a voice repeatedly asking "Do you like —?". Despite attempts to close it, the pop-up persists, with the voice becoming distorted until it asks, "Do you like red?" As the character persists, the voice eventually poses the complete question, "Do you like the red room?" Subsequently, a website displaying a list of names appears, and the protagonist senses a presence behind them. The next day, school gossip circulates about two students who purportedly took their lives by painting their rooms red with their own blood. The protagonist's computer screen then displays their name at the bottom of the list before shutting off with an eerie sound. If pop-ups are enabled, a pop-up resembling the story's ad may appear after the video concludes. | ||

'''Suicidemouse.avi''' or '''Suicide Mouse''' is an urban legend that has gained popularity on the internet as a supposed lost episode of the classic Disney character, [[wikipedia:Mickey Mouse|Mickey Mouse]]. According to the legend, the lost episode features Mickey Mouse walking past a loop of buildings with his head down and hands clasped behind his back. Dissonant piano music plays in the background, becoming more like static as the video progresses. At about 1:50, the screen goes black, and a title card inserted by the uploader explains that the screen remained black until the six-minute mark. When the video resumes, the buildings and Mickey return, accompanied by distorted voices and later screaming. The images progressively become more and more twisted, with a final blurry close-up of Mickey and a broken music box playing in the background. The video concludes with a title card written in Cyrillic that roughly translates to "The sights of hell bring its viewers back in."<ref>Bustle. "Is The Suicidemouse.avi Creepypasta Real?
