Badger badger badger predates YouTube
We shared the albinoblacksheep link on msn. Youtube existed, it was part of the rise of shockwave flash technology websites.

Thank you. I must have been late to the badger party in 2006 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Memes traveled a bit slower in those days.
Ah, spent so many hours of my youth on albinoblacksheep. My first introduction to Lemon Demon among many other things.
YouTube?! Surely you mean Flash! This came from the creator Weebl who had a ton of great Flash animations on his website. Actually I can’t believe it, but the website is still up in 2024!
Here’s the badgers one specifically: http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/badgers-animated-music-video-mrweebl/
Flash? I remember shockwave.
I remember Macromedia.
Oh shockwave games. The Internet peaked at the turn off the millennium
Speak for yourself. I, for one, do not miss needing to suffer through intro animations before the real site would load, “designed for Internet Explorer 4”, or the endless ad popups of the era.
Points for nostalgia though
I always thought shockwave was part of flash? I never understood the difference
Adobe jumbled them up after acquiring Macromedia, which itself had previously acquired both (shockwave from Macromind, flash from Futurewave).
I remember watching this pre-youtube as well, but it was in ebaumsworld.com
It looked very different back in the day.
Another classic song is the llama song. I remember a friend showing that to me in '04.Also used to muck around with Frog in a Blender and Gerbil in a Microwave Flash games all around the same time as badger badger badger….ahh memories ….when the internet was simply for nerds 😂
And homestarrunner was the granddaddy of it all.
Joe Cartoon was an old internet staple. The website still exists but everything has been converted to movies, isn’t quite the same without the interaction
Come Charlie let’s go to candy mouuunnntaaain
That baby is 29 now
Here for the senior discount?
Practically dead 💀
Oh God, my anus is bleeding!
But, how big is your spoon?
Hamster dance.
but this meme predates youtube, though…
Why is there only one badger and not three? Why is there no snake ?
Where is the music? I only see the one mushroom too, we’re missing like 3/4 of the picture mate
To jump on the bandwagon, OP’s showing their age. I can’t remember where I first saw Badger Badger, but it was definitely pre-Youtube (or at least mainstream Youtube) when Flash was all the rage
Alternatively: THIS IS THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN. ^(of ultimate destiny)!^
GOOD GUYS BAD GUYS AND EX-PLO-SIONS ^(as far as the eye can see)!^
AND ONLY ONE WILL SURVIVE ^(I wonder who it will be)!^
Anyone remember Joe Cartoon? Superfly, Lump the no legged dog, Gerbil, and so on.
Frog in a blender
Remember penguin toss?
Me: 2008 wasn’t that long ago. It was like a decade ago.
Also me: wait… That’s 16 years 😰
It’s for sure older than that unfortunately.
September 1st 2003 apparently
Even older than I thought. I was thinking 2005
20s? 30s? A teenager? I’m assuming not 40s or older. anyway that picture is fucking adorable.
you anteater ??
Anteater? That’s clearly an aardvark.
