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.

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

I remember Macromedia.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

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?

Badger badger badger predates YouTube

[-] eldain@feddit.nl 10 points 2 years ago

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

[-] vrek@programming.dev 35 points 2 years ago

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

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

but this meme predates youtube, though...

[-] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 25 points 2 years ago

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)

Newgrounds maybe? Or ebaumsworld?

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

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

It's for sure older than that unfortunately.

Frog in a blender

[-] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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