Good God, this takes me back to middle school when we were obsessed with this song/chant/animation (what even was it?)

I’ll take a nap.

Remember when the Dancing Baby was on Ally McBeal? Pepperidge Farms remembers
Edit to add a link to David Hasselhoff’s 1997 cover of Blue Swede’s cover of BJ Thomas’s “Hooked on a Feeling”
I do remember. 2003.
Close, 1998.
Technically, 1996.
Figuratively, 1987.
Theoretically 1832.
The episode aired in January 1998
Remember Mr T Ate My Balls? Remember Mahir “I Will Kiss You”?
Do you remember “Papa Smurf, Can I Lick Your Ass?” None of my friends do. It was either weeble’s stuff or ebaum’s world, I don’t even remember, it’s all like rustling leaves in my brain.
Kilroy!
Domo arigato.
Kilroy was here
Damn, an even more ancient meme
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.”
I think it’s meant to imply that this is among the first era of memes, not that it’s the first.
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 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.
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. :)
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.
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.
If she knew a little more, she could be calling until crash the connection.
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.
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.
Hardly unique to there though. It was a dark time.
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.

“the first memes” yeah right
Hey guys… remember Newgrounds? Heh… Remember Spoony? Hehe…
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

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
