Badger Badger Badger

*Badger Badger Badger* is a looping Flash animation created by British animator Jonti Picking (a.k.a. Weebl) in 2003. The animation features a group of animated badgers popping up and down, chanting 'badger badger badger' repeatedly, interrupted by a mushroom or snake.

It gained popularity for its hypnotic repetition, absurd simplicity, and catchy audio. The meme was widely shared via email and on forums, exemplifying the experimental humor of early Flash-era internet. Weebl’s site became a hub for quirky looping animations, and Badger Badger Badger in particular came to symbolize early internet absurdism.

Despite its age, the animation has been referenced in later meme formats and parodies, securing its legacy as a meme archetype.
