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 😂

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

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

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.

Flash? I remember shockwave.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

I remember Macromedia.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh shockwave games. The Internet peaked at the turn off the millennium

Fuck... me... I forgot how terrible that was.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I always thought shockwave was part of flash? I never understood the difference

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Adobe jumbled them up after acquiring Macromedia, which itself had previously acquired both (shockwave from Macromind, flash from Futurewave).

[–] z500@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

I seem to remember a competitor, I think it was called 3DO or something?

Badger badger badger predates YouTube

[–] eldain@feddit.nl 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

Ah, spent so many hours of my youth on albinoblacksheep. My first introduction to Lemon Demon among many other things.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why is there only one badger and not three? Why is there no snake ?

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 17 points 2 years ago

Where is the music? I only see the one mushroom too, we're missing like 3/4 of the picture mate

That baby is 29 now

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 29 points 2 years ago

but this meme predates youtube, though...

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] RandomStickman@kbin.run 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Newgrounds maybe? Or ebaumsworld?

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 3 points 2 years ago

Possibly Newgrounds, I used to lurk around there a lot when I was younger

[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 18 points 2 years ago

That's Newgrounds, OP, from the times before YT.

A proper Youtube of yore is Tony vs Paul

Alternatively: THIS IS THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN. ^(of ultimate destiny)!^

GOOD GUYS BAD GUYS AND EX-PLO-SIONS ^(as far as the eye can see)!^

Me: 2008 wasn't that long ago. It was like a decade ago.

Also me: wait... That's 16 years 😰

[–] illi@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's for sure older than that unfortunately.

Anyone remember Joe Cartoon? Superfly, Lump the no legged dog, Gerbil, and so on.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Frog in a blender

Remember penguin toss?

[–] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Showing age, the first thing that came to my mind was the old show The Wind in the Willows.

I watched Tim Burtons Batman in our local cinema.

Also my first contact with silly internet movies was the llama song.
