And that’s basically it!
What really should be preserved is the entirety of Homestar Runner.
12 badgers doing calisthenics while a mushroom and snake occasionally appear on screen, known as “Badger Badger Badger” or “The Badger Song.”
Somehow that description just doesn't do it for me. Im not sure what would, but its not this.
Narwhal song when?
I mean, really, most of Weebl's stuff should be preserved: Amazing Horse, Magical Trevor, Crabs, Telephone Dog ("Hello, this is dog!"), Russian Dancing Men, a ton of others I've forgot.
See the friendly lions, only in Kenya!
Come to Kenya, we've got lions!
Ah but everyone loves magical Trevor.
it’s cause the tricks that he does are ever so clever.
Look at him now, disappearing a cow
Where is the cow? Hidden right now?
taking his bow, it's magical Trevor

Finally some good fucking news!
I got my friend with that one back in the day. It was Flash so much harder to detect a loop than a video. I told him the ending was hilarious and he managed about 20 minutes of badger badger badger badger badger until he figured it out.
And on the opposite end there was the Demented Cartoon Movie, which was half an hour of nonsense and non-sequitors in an age where most animations were a few minutes long. Flash movies didn't have a progress bar at the bottom, so anyone you sent it to was stuck watching the whole thing just hoping it would please end already.
It's physically painful to watch today. My fellow Millennials act like Gen Z invented brain rot while ignoring that we grew up with this.
This makes me so happy.
wish badgers were as amazing as my horse.
I gave it a lick.
Did it taste just like raisins?
Sweet lemonade, mmm sweet lemonade!
Have they preserved where the sound gets increasingly out of sync with the video the longer you watch it? Because most archived versions don't have this.
Flash's terrible audio syncing makes it hilarious that the most popular indie rhythm game was built on one of Flash's direct successors.
Now they need to preserve salad fingers. I’m still creeped out by it and so should future generations.
It's been like 20 years since I saw salad fingers and I will still sit down and think about it randomly from time to time.
Hubert Cumberdale, what are you doing here?
As it should be.
Chances are pretty good that it and Mr Weebl's other animations are preserved in their original format (i.e. Flash SWF files) at the free Flashpoint Archive project.
At least some of the old Jib-Jab stuff should be there also, which were some very amusing political parodies and such.
i must be too old for this. i remember the hampsterdance but i've never heard of this badger-based knockoff.
If you're too old for this, it's just barely! I feel like badger badger badger came about just a couple years after the hamster dance.
Hampsterdance, you mean that flash animation that ripped off the song from the old Disney Robin Hood?
Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat!
Yes! Now do Benny Lava by Buffalax.
Thank you for reminding me about this song. I have no idea why I found it so hysterical as a kid but it still gets a giggle out of me every time. Especially this bit for some reason:
