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?

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.
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.
Another classic!
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

I have heard it said that space has a terrible secret.
Do you have stairs in your house?
Yes, and the people must go down them.
Tell me…Have you seen the marvelous bread fish? Swimming in the ocean water?
I just want to say, all you degenerates in this thread, you are my people. Thank you for remembering the terrible shit we shared.
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!
Terrible‽ The fuck you on about?

I think that’s cute they think those were the first memes.
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.
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 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.”
“¡¡Pero que hermosa Hueva!!”
Oooh, that was when Mayahee, mayahoo was first on YT wasn’t it? That and all those twisted humour animations. Fun and disturbing times.
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.
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.

the way things are going the “Nigger stole my bike” might even do a comeback
Edit: but in all honesty it is actually hard to imagine that it was a thing once
Nah.
Maybe on truth social?
It never died, they just change the wording. Naga stole my bike is a common world of Warcraft guild name but it usually will get banned pretty quick.
I vaguely remember the Harry Potter one?
Potter, Potter, Potter Weasley, Weasley Snape! Snape!
Snape, snape, severus snape- DUMBLEDORE
One of the first viral vids I saw was the Harry Potter Puppet sing-along: https://youtu.be/Tx1XIm6q4r4
Dunno maybe this was localized but
Tunak Tunak Tun was declared the anthem of my California middle school computer graphics class. Lots of FlashMX tribute animations and such.
It apparently went way beyond that, as we saw the Draenei rocking that dance in WoW: Burning Crusade. :D
It still freaking slaps. :D
It was a great time for foreign music, as Gary’s silly dance and lip sync to the “numa numa” song was proliferating everywhere.
I wonder if a lot of this was from all the fun file sharing and explosion of P2P networks going on? I don’t miss how easy it was to catch malware but I do miss some very particular feeling about those days…
Okay the insanity of this. I do not recall EVER hearing of tunak tunak tun. Like I just have no memory of anyone showing it to me, sharing it with me, nothing. But I read the words, and the beat starts, rhythmically perfect…
Seems like a pretty popular song where its from too. Here’s awesome band Red Baraat covering it!
Fun story: Someone said he was only popular because of the pretty girls in his videos, so he dropped this banger with only himself in it.
Don’t check his Wikipedia page if you still want to enjoy that song.
After all these years I still don’t understand if what he did was amoral-- the “human trafficking” listed on the page was to smuggle people into the US, but that’s as much information as I can find. If he put those people into nefarious circumstances that’s one thing, but if he basically acted as a conduit to get people into the US who otherwise wouldn’t have had the opportunity it’s a different matter entirely.
I’d love some clarification on the issue.
From what I can find, he took money from some people to get them into Canada and the US illegally then did nothing, then he took 2 groups into the US as his tour dancers so they could enter the US illegally.
He’s no sex trafficker as far as I can see, but taking money from people trying to get out of their country then not doing it is a cunt act, even if they were gonna be going into the us illegally.
There’s been an HD version for a few years now
That’s beautiful. It’s looks like how I remembered it, in the same way our brains up-rez our memories of N64 games! :D
