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
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
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!?"
Badger badger badger predates YouTube
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.
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
but this meme predates youtube, though...
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
Alternatively: THIS IS THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN. ^(of ultimate destiny)!^
GOOD GUYS BAD GUYS AND EX-PLO-SIONS ^(as far as the eye can see)!^
AND ONLY ONE WILL SURVIVE ^(I wonder who it will be)!^
Me: 2008 wasn't that long ago. It was like a decade ago.
Also me: wait... That's 16 years 😰
Come Charlie let's go to candy mouuunnntaaain
Anyone remember Joe Cartoon? Superfly, Lump the no legged dog, Gerbil, and so on.
Frog in a blender
Remember penguin toss?
Showing age, the first thing that came to my mind was the old show The Wind in the Willows.
Did carmeldansen become a thing before or after badgerbadger mushroom?
Anybody remember dafthands, and daftbodies?
I found basgerbadger a long time after caramelldansen. Helicopter parents of the 90s/early thous with all the time limits and website blockers a parent could easily get their hands on lmao
A large part of my journey of becoming a nerd was figuring out how to disable those haha.
I had time limits, until my dad became too much of a drunk to care, and my mom was too disabled and incorrectly medicated to do anything.
Anyway, I was not introduced to carameldansen until dating an extreme weaboo girl who insisted on dressing me up as L from Death Note... whereas I found badgerbadger years earlier.
😭
