genuinely, this video is making me tear up and i'm not even finished with it yet. despite growing up in the late 2000s and early 2010s, i still had a blast watching flash animations and this video just brought up a well of nostalgia in me that i can't even put into words. thank you, bjiru.
ooooh yeah, this is not my last flash video XD Flash games get talked about all the time though, So I wanted to make a bit of a homage to the animations as well, because they are just as important too to me.
I feel like BFDI was the series that kinda killed the Newgrounds age. Newgrounds was still popular when BFDI came out in 2010, but almost every popular indie animated series was moving to TH-cam by that time.
Flash animations hold such a special place in my heart. Newgrounds still rocks, not as hard as it used to for sure, but the spirit is still there. Such a different time though, that web era has moved on and I can't say that I'm happy with its 2.0 version. Two very different worlds.
Its super duper rare to find people bring up eddsworld and asdfmovie when talking about flash animation and im so HAPPY u mentioned them !! :3 Keep up with the videos i heart them so BAD
iirc, asdfmovie was the first flash animation i ever watched! i wasnt super into the youtube scene when i was younger because i was a sheltered little baby who was only allowed on like. purble place and buildabearville (probably for the best lmao). i was on a trip to washington dc in 5th grade and we had stopped to get pizza, and some of my friends were watching it on their phone. when we got home, i think i watched the series up to that point (i think it was still just 9 or 10 at the time) and fell in love. i can still quote a majority of the early series from memory lolz. eddsworld was also a super big part of my life, though i didn’t get into it until much much later in middle school :3
flash animations are oddly charming to me, as someone who got realy interested in the mediums of animations, flash animations are the ones of that i realy like ,the roughness of everyting is just nice to me for some reason ,and I also it shows more simpler times in general ,also i wish you mentioned BFDI but thats fine ,also great video ,i enjoyed it alot :3 (also, ultimate showdown of ultimate desteny slaps)
Well.... Not as much people watched the show until BFB came out. Plus, the series didn't had its prime until that season. (Even if the show has been getting less relevant after 2021...) But then again, I wouldn't worry about it much since this video is related to webtoons that are no longer as popular as they were back then.
Forestfire101 has a super interesting history. They’ve gone from live action zombie videos to stop motion animations where LEGO Batman gets his face ripped off. They could actually warrant their own video.
My elementary school class would crowd around the one computer in the classroom to watch albino black sheep videos during break. The llama song was the class fave. TH-cam hadnt happened yet. Times were simpler then.
I don't think eddsworld was before your time since the series didn't get a much larger audience until around the legacy era mainly 2014 2015 2016 ish And even then it's only in it's peak popularity rn with 2 million views in the last 3.5 years compared to the first decade of the channel it took to reach 1 mil
I was born almost a decade earlier so it's really funny to see someone so much younger who is nostalgic about the same videos and the same videos and the same period of the internet
Dude your TH-cam future is going to break the internet, and i want you to remember my comment when you hit your 1,000,000 subscriber. Your videos are very engaging, fun to watch, and the humor is very well timed. That is THE recipe for success.
8:30 listened to this song constantly when i was younger. cant remember when i last listened to the full thing, but i can still rattle off the lyrics no problem.
The dude who did the Duck Song also did those legendary Lego Batman videos. Kinda nuts one dude is behind 2 of the most iconic vintage TH-cam series that no one would ever associate with each other lol
bro yeahh!! one particular day after watching a lego batman video I decided to open forestfire101's channel and organize by popular to see more lego videos, almost fell off my chair when duck song appeared
the first time i ever saw happy tree friends was on a school trip, in a bus, while i was in the second grade. There used to be a very edgy girl in our class, she was all into horror movies, rock music, etc. And she used to show me those cartoons. It was the year of 2010
DUDEEE I REMEMBER TWO MORE EGGS IT WAS MY CHLDHOOD SHOW!! i could barely remember anything but i remember the person in it i was like 4 at the time i think
It’s the creepy, unsettling vids from back in the day that had me encapsulated as well, idk what it is, it’s so scary but it’s so Intriguing at the same time, things like username 666 and the mascot dudes with the dude eating soup, good times
I'm pretty sure about the stickmen battles being a thing at the time because of the scifi action movies such as the Matrix, Salt, and Ultraviolet being popular at the time. Plus, stick figures are easier to animate
Bjiru back with yet another knock out of the park! Really felt this one too, as I grew up prime time for these nostalgic masterpieces. Personally when I grew up, I was a big fan of Lasse Gjertsen. A lot of his content is removed now, but his main hitters are still up on his channel, like "Rødmaling" or "Fotball NM '97". They are Norwegian, but there are subtitles. Would recommend checking it out so you might get a little peak into other cultures on early TH-cam :) Anyways, once again fantastic work! I will patiently wait for your amazing content as always :)
Oh wow I had no idea about them!! There are so many small pockets of early TH-cam it’s so cool, thanks for letting know about them! I see your comment each and every time also, thanks for always watching and always commenting such sweet things, I will continue to try and make videos worthy of your comments
Makes me want to make my animations and 2D games in flash and export them into a format that actually is useable lol! Thank God for Swivel and other goodies that make that possible!
I saw the ultimate showdown so long ago and then around 10 years later I found an animation by someone named aimkid (I highly recommend looking at her animations) and I was like "wow I love this. what song is that?" and it was lemon demon modify so I looked at their stuff on Spotify, saw the ultimate showdown and lost my shit
if you grew up knowing the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny, but don't know much about neil cicierega, i HIGHLY recommend that you investigate what this man has done for the internet. in addition to the ultimate showdown and potter puppet pals and gravity falls (including a scrapped song for bill cipher, he also made the mouth albums, animutations, two trucks, brodyquest, and so much more that i can't even list off in a single comment. everything on the internet connects back to neil cicierega, i guarantee you know at least one thing he did, even if you don't know it.
i do not know what indie animation is gonna turn into. from stick figure animations to full on studio quality animations. The internet is weird in a good way
My uncle once gifted me a Happy Tree Friends DVD when I was a kid. I got fucking GOT. I remember watching a clip where the blue moose cut his own head off somehow and he just fucking screams in pain and I swear I was haunted by that as a nightmare for the following 4 years.
2:10 Hardcore used loosely lol 15:59 As soon as I saw the images used for the content ratings, I instantly recognized what site you took that picture from lmao. Uhh, yeah, SheezyArt was and still is mainly used by furries. 3:07 OH GOD I REMEMBER WATCHING THE EPISODES ON TH-cam WHEN I WAS LIKE 12 18:31 If youtube can demonetize you for the word "crap"... 20:03 Well I would sure hope so 21:58 And that still is the case today, but even more so!
6:18 does anyone remember Joe Zombie, he’s one of the most badass stickmen’s ever on Newgrounds, I find him more badass than Henry, Johnny, Fancy Pants, Chosen One, and other stickmens.
mondo media (happy tree friends guys) also published a series of animations called “baman piderman”. literally the best thing to come out of them ever.
Then Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White And Monty Python and the Holy Grail's black knight And Benito Mussolini, and the Blue Meanie And Cowboy Curtis, and Jambi The Genie Robocop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader Lo-pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan All came out of nowhere lightning fast And liked and subscribe

Thank you for saying this, that warms my heart so much. That’s what making videos is all about
Can you make a part two please?
You gotta also do a video on nostalgic flash games, there were so many iconic flash games that defined my childhood
ooooh yeah, this is not my last flash video XD
Flash games get talked about all the time though, So I wanted to make a bit of a homage to the animations as well, because they are just as important too to me.
brooo that one bubble shooter flash game was so peak
Fun fact: this platform we are on used to be a flash website also.
Before 2015.
Now finally the duck song 4 came out finally we waited 15 years
WAIT WHATT!!??
Yeah its real its on forrestfire101 channel
Finally after 15 years we got the duck song 4 we got the duck song 4 before gta 6
IT DID????????/
LAST TIME I WATCHED THAT LITTLE DUCK WAS LIKE . 6 YEARS AGO,,
Eddsworld and Homestar Runner are my favorites, along with BFDI (while being not mentioned and also a flash animation)
Man, we're like clones... :D-]
I feel like BFDI was the series that kinda killed the Newgrounds age.
Newgrounds was still popular when BFDI came out in 2010, but almost every popular indie animated series was moving to TH-cam by that time.
@@kootunesscrewyi think it was because youtube started monetizing creators
@@dogstuffProductions Yeah.
Oh my god I love bfdi and Eddsworld with a burning passion
Flash animations hold such a special place in my heart. Newgrounds still rocks, not as hard as it used to for sure, but the spirit is still there. Such a different time though, that web era has moved on and I can't say that I'm happy with its 2.0 version. Two very different worlds.
I just watched all of Eddsworld a couple of days ago and i wish i could have experienced it all when the animations first came out. ❤
I couldn't, because I didn't exist yet. :D-|
Same here man, same here
Its super duper rare to find people bring up eddsworld and asdfmovie when talking about flash animation and im so HAPPY u mentioned them !! :3 Keep up with the videos i heart them so BAD
There’s now 4 duck songs now, it always Comes Back
ur videos never fail to unlock memories for me

thats a name i havent heard in yearrrssss
God damn, this is one hell of a trip back to being a kid exploring the internet. Thank you for making this video. Getting old sucks man lol
My elementary school class would crowd around the one computer in the classroom to watch albino black sheep videos during break. The llama song was the class fave. TH-cam hadnt happened yet. Times were simpler then.
Rip flash I miss those good old days in my life 😕

At least the original is still better than it’s legacy version.

video starting off with lemon demon, good start good start
i was about to write a whole essay expressing my excitement about this newly upload video
but i decided not to.
This comment is plenty proof of your excitement
salad fingers was my favorite flash animation
good ol days
Good old rusty spoons.

Oh man, great video. I miss those days. You also showcased a lot of animations which I never knew. Also great editing and humour, keep it up!
My brother and 3 of his friends put on a live performance of asdfmovie when he was like 8
what the hell that is amazing hahaha
With the guns and everything?
@@dariendude17 is he american
lol that's so dorky and awesome.
I'm glad people are making alot of reviews and news about indie animation more.
Every once and a while, I go back in time and go on a deep dive and watch some flash animations
A very good video. I'm glad to see so many of these early creators are doing well and have continued their work.
8:30 listened to this song constantly when i was younger. cant remember when i last listened to the full thing, but i can still rattle off the lyrics no problem.
yeah, bfdi might've not been mentioned here but hey, still a great video, hopefully someday you'll make a part 2
salad finger used the scare the shit out of me man. i couldnt sleep after i watched that the first time
it was very spooky back in the day, that was the allure of it though
my first experience with Happy Tree Friends was Fall Out Boy’s music video for Carpal Tunnel of Love. I was like 5 and I loved the song but holy moly
The dude who did the Duck Song also did those legendary Lego Batman videos. Kinda nuts one dude is behind 2 of the most iconic vintage TH-cam series that no one would ever associate with each other lol
bro yeahh!! one particular day after watching a lego batman video I decided to open forestfire101's channel and organize by popular to see more lego videos, almost fell off my chair when duck song appeared
also animated the mv for the yfm song “we like them girls” which is pretty cool.
I watched H⭐R on the original website. Back when you still had to wait for new episodes. I still go back to it! 💛
I LOVE DA STICKMEN FLASHES YESSS
all of this gave me so much nostalgia man every thinig I watched as a kid is just coming back
i miss the unhinged days of the internet
the first time i ever saw happy tree friends was on a school trip, in a bus, while i was in the second grade. There used to be a very edgy girl in our class, she was all into horror movies, rock music, etc. And she used to show me those cartoons. It was the year of 2010
You unlocked so many memories...
in guitar hero 2, amongst the bonus songs, the song Trogdor? yeah, thats strongbad. iykyk.
Homestar Runner, damn that's a deep cut for sure.
19:46 THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING IT
asdfmovie was the first flash thing i ever saw and i love the all of it
I'm so happy you included Eddsworld in this :)
DUDEEE I REMEMBER TWO MORE EGGS IT WAS MY CHLDHOOD SHOW!! i could barely remember anything but i remember the person in it i was like 4 at the time i think
I’m having ptsd form happy tree friends, that show traumatized me and I’m still recovering from the mental damage that show has cause me.
spoilsbury toastboy traumatised me as a kid but i was like weirdly obsessed w it
It’s the creepy, unsettling vids from back in the day that had me encapsulated as well, idk what it is, it’s so scary but it’s so Intriguing at the same time, things like username 666 and the mascot dudes with the dude eating soup, good times
@@bjiru_ real, everything felt so like mysterious and magical, like i dont think anything nowadays can encapsulate how it felt back then
I'm pretty sure about the stickmen battles being a thing at the time because of the scifi action movies such as the Matrix, Salt, and Ultraviolet being popular at the time. Plus, stick figures are easier to animate
ANOTHER BJIRU CLASSIC YEAHHHHHH
what a great list of iconic animations! keep up the good work! ^^
YOU MAKE THE BEST VIDEOS EVER I APPRECIATE YOU

Omg really, I had no idea, I found it pretty insane already he did ultimate showdown and potter pals but that’s nuts, I’ll check him out lmao
pretty sure i still know all the words to every duck song. it will forever live in my brain
The ultimate showdown animation was posted a day before i was born
this makes me wish i was born in the early 2000s.
im a big fan of lemon demon's works. he also made two trucks!!! i really like his album spirit phone
Thankyou dude 🙇🏼♂️
I lived on Newgrounds in middle school, such a great site
The Ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny is the sol reason why lemon demon is always number one on my Spotify wrapped
please do a second one of these and cover things like Blockhead, Long cat, Greasymoose/sexual lobster, hellbenders
this is exactly what i want
This is way better than that stupid algorithm TH-cam has
great video man
I would literally watch and play flash games instead of real games on my Wii most of the time lol

The ultimate show down 🥹
It made me so sad when you didn’t know Sheezy art. It was like social media for animators. Way more of a community than NewGrounds. Man I miss it.
My favorites are BFDI ASDFMOVIE AND DUCK SONG AND ANIMATER VS ANIMATION
I remember the Duck Song was one of the first songs I learned on guitar. What was it like 12 years ago?
RIP edd😢🕊
2:10 Hardcore used loosely lol
15:59 As soon as I saw the images used for the content ratings, I instantly recognized what site you took that picture from lmao. Uhh, yeah, SheezyArt was and still is mainly used by furries.

wondrous video
love this content :D
6:18 does anyone remember Joe Zombie, he’s one of the most badass stickmen’s ever on Newgrounds, I find him more badass than Henry, Johnny, Fancy Pants, Chosen One, and other stickmens.
Eddsworld is probably the best flash cartoon ever in my opinion, but even the other flash cartoons were amazing!
Agreed
I find Madness Combat, Miss Dynamite, Charlie The Unicorn, and Primal War to be better than Eddsworld.
mondo media (happy tree friends guys) also published a series of animations called “baman piderman”. literally the best thing to come out of them ever.
i still use flash cs4 for art and animation, I only own adobe animate for exporting videos through media encoder tho
omg i LOVE eddsworld so much
