Hamster dance.
Hampsterdance is one of my earliest memories of using the internet at the age of 4. I remember it being used in random videos a lot like Paralyzer and Dreamscape were.
The Hampster Dance by Hampton and the Hampsters.
Practically dead 💀
doot doot
Here for the senior discount?
That baby is 29 now
Anyone remember Joe Cartoon? Superfly, Lump the no legged dog, Gerbil, and so on.
Frog in a blender
Remember penguin toss?
Come Charlie let’s go to candy mouuunnntaaain

😭
That’s Newgrounds, OP, from the times before YT.
A proper Youtube of yore is Tony vs Paul
Oh God, my anus is bleeding!
20s? 30s? A teenager? I’m assuming not 40s or older. anyway that picture is fucking adorable.
but this meme predates youtube, though…
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
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/
“Kenya believe it!?”
Flash? I remember shockwave.
I seem to remember a competitor, I think it was called 3DO or something?
Fuck… me… I forgot how terrible that was.
Oh shockwave games. The Internet peaked at the turn off the millennium
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 Macromedia.
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.Ebaumsworld is where 14- to 17-year-old me spent most of my time in those days. The forum was my introduction to internet message boards. Will always have a spot spot there.
I’m not sure if I’ve seen that one, I’ll have to check it out, thanks!
Is it this one? http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/alpaca-animated-music-video-mrweebl/
Or maybe you were referring to the Llamas In Hats series? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBE8C175E9FAAA34A
I was always partial to the Amazing Horse one for some reason. http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/amazing-horse-animated-music-video-mrweebl/
I used to listen to it for hours and a weird quirk of Flash animations was that often the audio track and the video were milliseconds off so over time it would get very out of sync.
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
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
Newgrounds maybe? Or ebaumsworld?
Possibly Newgrounds, I used to lurk around there a lot when I was younger
I remember seeing flash video like “End of the World” and “Bunny Kill” series on Miniclip and then later ArmorGames. I didn’t even consider how far they predated YouTube until now lol
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
