New grounds flash games
Oh how I miss those times sometimes.
Take me back to candy mountain Charlie 🦄 😢
Fuck, you took my kidney.
I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!
You went back too far man! Pull back! Pull baaaack!
Where’s the beef?

Thanks. I was OOL simply cause I wasn’t a huge YouTube kid but I saw the badgers and could only think Honey Badger don’t give a shit.
It was a Flash animation originally. Many of his animations looped, but some of them had the issue that the sound and imagery weren’t exactly the same length, so would go out of sync as it repeated.
edit: Here’s the original hosted on the Internet Archive, running on the Ruffle emulator: https://archive.org/details/flash_badger
Another classic!
2009? Definitely not the first meme.
The YouTube video is a repost. Pretty sure the original was Flash from the early 2000s.
Still definitely not the first meme.
I do miss albinoblacksheep and joecartoon as Flash apps.
And it altars that I’m the only one who can count all the way to shfifty-five.
I have no idea what the snake and mushrooms are and I was born before the internet existed, so it’s not only kids.
Yeah, but were you chronically online in 2002? Ie exposed to the memes of the time.
Nowadays all sorts of normies fill the internet. Internet used to be explicitly for “nerds”.
I remember when nornies didn’t even know how to.
And now we’ve gone around again and the youngest generations have really poor PC skills because they just do everything on their phone.
Do you remember the dancing baby? That was a few years earlier than Badgerbadgerbadger.com but it was more mainstream, being like in Ally Mcbeal etc.
My mom used to call the house from work at a random time between when my brother and I got home from school and when she left work. If she got a busy signal, she would wait about 15 minutes to half an hour and call back. If she got a busy signal a second time she would assume one of us was on the Internet and we would get in trouble when she got home.
If she knew a little more, she could be calling until crash the connection.
Oh that’s pretty smart of mom.
I’m getting nostalgic over thinking about the sound of the modem and the emotions that went with it.
Man SomethingAwful back then was one hell of a place
I have a hard time reconciling the fact that the word f*ggot was used constantly.
Like, constantly.
Hardly unique to there though. It was a dark time.
Eddie Murphy’s one earlier standup special (Raw?) drops it a bunch. I meannn even in the later oughts the one big joke in The Hangover was “paging Dr. Faggot!!!” Straight up trailer material to boot, if I’m not mistaken. More like 80s-early 2000s. Most people learned over time to change for the better socially, for a bit at least.
For me, I was a kid in the 80s/90s and I (thought I) didn’t know a single gay person personally. So many people were in the closet back then.
I didn’t really say fag much but for us kids, gay meant lame. “That’s gay” - I would hear or say it many times a day. It didn’t even mean homosexual, although once I got older I could see how it was harmful. Once people I knew came out and I knew gay adults I made the conscious decision to stop saying it.
I was chronically online back then! Haha I mean, not chronically necessarily, but I got super into el interneto around 1995 and then waxing and waning every now and again. 2002 I was a journalist…yep chronically online for sure!
Anyway, thanks for linking that. I realized that I just completely forgot about anything other than the “badger badger badger” line. It’s been so long and I’m old. :)
That’s true enough, I guess we were formed & forged out of necessity. If you wanted to surf web well, you had to figure all kinds of shit out. If you wanted to pirate, same deal. Watch porn? Better delete that web history, but also make it look believable.
It was baked into our brains at a young, impressionable age. And we absorbed it all.
Now these kids don’t seem to know how to do shit. Frustrating. They should be tech savvy.
I know parents who don’t own PCs. Just phones. A bunch of working class kids are without access to a PC. Of course they’re going to be worse at it than we were. How are they supposed to learn?
It’s not like we did it because we wanted to show off our useful skills on the job market, lol.
a few years earlier
7 years earlier, to be precise.
Yeah, but back then the internet wasn’t as obiquitous as it is now, so something being online didn’t necessarily mean that you’d have seen it, whereas now if something is a hit you’ll see it in a matter of hours, really.
Like I probably did see the Hampster dance in the 90’s possibly, but like the computer in the library wasn’t one you could really use the speakers on, and I think it took until like 99-00 for dad to get a computer with an Internet connection. No it couldn’t have been that late I was looking up Zelda faqs when playing Ocarina of Time and that was a few years earlier, as N64 came out in 1996. OOT came out in 98 okay.
Same.
I can hear this still
Kilroy was here
Damn, an even more ancient meme
And this looks like old Tumblr, where by around the 12th reply the original post would be completely indented out of sight.
Weebl released a video on youtube marking the 20th anniversery of badger badger badger a while ago, he released one for the 15th too and the 10th
I’ve seen Weebl videos. I’ve seen them with my eyes.
I’ve seen things. They’re often in disguise.
Your eyes are like two gelatinous orbs that see things!
Are you fond of Owls? Everyone is fond of Owls, except for mice, shrew and Simon Cowells
The ones in your face?
I just want to say, all you degenerates in this thread, you are my people. Thank you for remembering the terrible shit we shared.
Terrible‽ The fuck you on about?
Remember the time you defended deportation for autism awareness tattoos?
No because I didn’t do that, you’re still a moron and a stalker that is worthy of reporting.
Report away friend, just make sure you don’t have any visible tattoos because that might cause problems.
That’s the funny thing, I do. But I would never compare them to the numbers printed on the prisoners at Auschwitz, because that would be something only a gigantic asshole would do!

I think that’s cute they think those were the first memes.
That badger animation is from 2003. “First memes,” my ass!
First ERA of memes is implied.
2003 internet was worlds different than mid-90s. I definitely don’t think of them as the same eras.
But people will in another few eras. I’m sure the people in the 1600’s viewed the people in the 1400’s to be vastly different, but yet- they both make up a part of the Renaissance Era.
Additionally; I think people are taking this meme WAY too seriously.
Well, yeah, when nobody’s alive who experienced it it’ll be different, but that time hasn’t come yet!
Nobody’s taking it seriously - it’s just fun to point out the young whippersnappers who weren’t around for 90s internet thinking as far back as they can remember was “first.”
this is the most Eternal September thing I’ve ever heard
I think it’s meant to imply that this is among the first era of memes, not that it’s the first.
You’re still thinking way too late in the game. It’s not even really among the first internet memes. But as far as memes go generally it’s bee hundreds of years. We just didn’t call them that in wider speech.
And the Renaissance Era went from the 1400’s to the 1600’s.
I think we have a bit of slack to play with here.
And the slacks might be yours because it is relative to your observed chonology.
Doom is an earlier meme that still exists today purely because their release strat was to make the game a… MEME!
Shareware is the corporate essence of memes.
And a division between doom and this should exist if the dot com bubble burst in 2000. As that would have drastically changed the landscape of the internet.
That is one meme. It is quite fair to say someone who doesn’t remember badger badger wasn’t around for anything before that either.
Oooh, that was when Mayahee, mayahoo was first on YT wasn’t it? That and all those twisted humour animations. Fun and disturbing times.
Did you just call NumaNuma mayahee, mayahoo?
Choc-O-late raaaaain
Apologies, it’s been a while I forgot the name. I just knew it started like that.
It predates youtube
And “Kilroy was here” is a meme that predates computers
I need more backstory on that one! I’ll search the web, but I definitely heard that name before and never knew who he was!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilroy_was_here
It’s one of the earliest memes from graffiti done by allied soldiers
Hehe wow! Quite some history there!
Turns out I knew “him” from Styx!
And as I recall that concept album was about being forced to conform in an authoritarian state.
And it’s a great album to this day.
It’s possible Kilroy predates the Roman Empire. And he will certainly be here after the heat death of the universe.
It even predates me.

I vaguely remember the Harry Potter one?
Potter, Potter, Potter Weasley, Weasley Snape! Snape!
One of the first viral vids I saw was the Harry Potter Puppet sing-along: https://youtu.be/Tx1XIm6q4r4
Snape, snape, severus snape- DUMBLEDORE
