    YouTube?! Surely you mean Flash! This came from the creator Weebl who had a ton of great Flash animations on his website. Actually I can’t believe it, but the website is still up in 2024!

    Here’s the badgers one specifically: http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/badgers-animated-music-video-mrweebl/

        Oh shockwave games. The Internet peaked at the turn off the millennium

          Speak for yourself. I, for one, do not miss needing to suffer through intro animations before the real site would load, “designed for Internet Explorer 4”, or the endless ad popups of the era.

          Points for nostalgia though

        I always thought shockwave was part of flash? I never understood the difference

          Adobe jumbled them up after acquiring Macromedia, which itself had previously acquired both (shockwave from Macromind, flash from Futurewave).

        I seem to remember a competitor, I think it was called 3DO or something?

      I remember watching this pre-youtube as well, but it was in ebaumsworld.com
      It looked very different back in the day.
      Another classic song is the llama song. I remember a friend showing that to me in '04.

          Joe Cartoon was an old internet staple. The website still exists but everything has been converted to movies, isn’t quite the same without the interaction

        I’m not sure if I’ve seen that one, I’ll have to check it out, thanks!

        Is it this one? http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/alpaca-animated-music-video-mrweebl/

        Or maybe you were referring to the Llamas In Hats series? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBE8C175E9FAAA34A

        I was always partial to the Amazing Horse one for some reason. http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/amazing-horse-animated-music-video-mrweebl/

        I used to listen to it for hours and a weird quirk of Flash animations was that often the audio track and the video were milliseconds off so over time it would get very out of sync.

        Ebaumsworld is where 14- to 17-year-old me spent most of my time in those days. The forum was my introduction to internet message boards. Will always have a spot spot there.
