Goddamn im 30 now and i have such clear memories of being 10 and watching this in the computer lab. Like sands through the hourglass, these are the days of our lives...
I still remember my mum coming into my room to yell at me for playing this for hours non-stop. All this time later and now that I'm the adult... It's still as good as I remember it! I wouldn't mind the young meme kids blasting this for a few hours.
12 or 13 years ago, I went over to my buddy's apartment and put on amazing horse (the flash site) snd it was on until the next morning until the animation was out of sync. Good times.
Fun Fact, the original Flash of Badgers isn't actually a perfect loop! If you watched it long enough, the animation and the sound went out of sync. Guess how I figured that out?
20 years ago tomorrow, my son named Badger was born. And the first thing my brother did was send me an email with the original flash video linked. I had no idea until today they debuted the same year. All of the badger videos have given us such joy for all these years. Especially Badger. Thank you!
I still love Magical Trevor and think of it often, but Badgers was my first introduction (pre-youtube, in my teens!). Thank you for your contributions to my developing psyche.
Thank you for 20 years of good memories. My dad loved the badgers. We lost him 2 years ago, but he moment I heard the “badger, badger, badger…” I could hear his laughter again
I actually really like how unique this anniversary video is! Damn tho... I watched the original while huddled around a library computer in Primary/Grade School... Imagine being forced to acknowledge the passage of time because of a looping flash animation about badgers...
and I was like 21 when this came out... Just out ouf school, thinking we could do anything, be anyone... badgerbadgerbadger... imagine how I feel. Goddam internet fossile...
20 years go by in a blink, thanks so much for providing timeless quality. My 3 year old absolutely LOVES Narwhals, and I will still sing "This is My Horse" at my wife when I want to be annoying. Grandad of the internet indeed, good sir. ❤️
Happy 20 years mate.. My son grew up with Weeble, and he's turned out to be a very well adjusted person... even though he never calls or anything, I'm optimistic.
The original happened to pop up in my head the other day which led to me watching it a few times, not even realizing it was so close to being 20. Great work on this video too.
Ahh, I remember watching this for the first time back when I was like 13, definitely not 20 years ago so I was a little late to the party, but goes to show how much of a staple Weebl's creations are, and how they will be known for many more decades to come. Thanks for all you do Weebl! (Love the Ashens collab too!)
@@okjeffy6581 2006 sounds about right. I have fond memories of the Radiskull & Devil Doll series too. I remember it taking about 30 minutes to load an episode on Shockwave through dial-up, begging my parents not to use the landline. Great times.
You're only a little older than me so calling you granddad would be weird, but I'm so glad you're still around and active. You're a pioneer of internet content! And you make so many bangers!
2 DECADES OLD?! It's crazy how much of internet history it's apart of and how many people grew up with some dancing badgers. Cheers to a successful future of badgers!
This is freaking awesome, and the fact you've been keeping things as fresh and funny as always, as well as surrel, is definitely impressive. Congrats on the 20th, you freaky badgers.
Here's to 20 years of this masterpiece. It's crazy to think that things on the internet as we know it are practically at drinking age at this point. We're getting old. Great that people like Weebl are still here after all this time :) And here's to another 20 years of BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER MUSHROOM MUSHROOM
Here to salute to the old guard of the internet community, and to Mr Weebl in particular. This a real milestone in meme history. o7 Keep on keeping on.
Yikes 20 years! I remember being introduced to this back in 2003 when we were recording in Nottingham! 🖤 Also it was only a few years ago that they removed a sign in Leeds that had the familiar badgers on it as part of a larger advertisement!
The amazing thing about Flash videos is, because they use vectors to create the images, they scale up pretty much infinity (line thickness can be an issue if you go really big, but its an easy fix). Unfortunately, now flash isn't readily available, videos are locked into whatever resolution was available on TH-cam when they were uploaded. If someone could just reconvert the original Flash files, we could have beautiful 4K versions of some of these classics, instead of 360p 😄
My youth was forever marked by Weebl's animations and sense of humor. I can't remember how I stumbled upon the original site running Flash animations, which featured a cool dude with a t-shirt that could showcase customized text in the upper corner of the site and I would spend long time scrolling through the different flash series stored in it. Badger was one of the memorable Internet hits (my personal favorite at the time was Kenya) but every time I showed Badger or Footy to someone, they would fall prey to its catchy tune and badgery energy! Thank you for creating such amazing experiences in the Internet and Congratulations celebrating 20 years of Badgery awesomeness!! :D
Bless the remaining cast of the badgers, I love their scruffy beards and eyebrows. Brilliant video 🎉 congratulations on a legendary legacy, and all of those big words 🎉
Dear Bob it’s been 20 years? Holy snerk!! Also speaking of snerk, I’m so glad people are getting to know the beautiful cave drawings of the long tusk snerk.
20 years. Damn, has it really been that long. I was still in school when Badgers first came out. I remember everyone sharing it around on the school computers. Good times.
this video is insane and I'm so glad. Happy 20th, Badger Badger Badger, and thank you for rewiring my brain completely so I still follow any muttered repetition of a word with a loud and dramatic "MUSHROOM, MUSHROOM"
Wow!! 20 years of badgers, mushrooms, and snakes! Thank you so much for this little gem of fun and silliness. I still remember way back then showing the clip to my friends at work - who decided in that moment that moment that I must have been dropped on my head as a child. Most of them are gone and the badgers still remain! :) Thanks Mr. Weebl!
You are an artist in every measurable way. The fact that my first instinct was a hearty, "Beg your pardon, sir, but I had no idea you were still in business" notwithstanding.
20 years? It's absolutely crazy. I remember 20 years ago, I was in school and i'll never forget when a friend in a computer lab blasted BADGERS BADGERS BADGERS with his PC's speakers. People thought it was the most insane thing they ever saw, yet thought it was highly addictive. Many others would play the flash video over and over and over again on their computers. It got quite popular with my friends and every time it would make us laugh so much. It was pretty much the first "meme" that got shared with my school friends on the internet. So I want to thank you for that, Mr. Weebl. And happy 20th anniversary to the Badgers! And also the mushrooms. And TH-TH-THE SNAKE!! AH! IT'S A SNAKE! May they live rent free in your heads for another 20 years!
Thank you for all the amazing animations throughout the years! I still treasure my BLEASCHMNN shirt I wore in high school, even though it's more holes than fabric now.
This makes me feel old ....also makes me want to sit in the garden and shout at the Badgers *"YOUR DOING IT WRONG!, WHY ARE YOU NOT, REPETITIVELY SAYING BADGER!?"*
Big fan of all your classics. So cool to see this song still celebrated, even though it makes me feel old to hear it's been 20 years lol (the youngun's will never understand! I've SEEN things! I've seen them with my EYES!)
