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/
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 😂
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
And homestarrunner was the granddaddy of it all.
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.
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.
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
Fuck... me... I forgot how terrible that was.
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 seem to remember a competitor, I think it was called 3DO or something?
"Kenya believe it!?"
