To this day, hearing the words "badger", "mushroom", and "snake" will often be enough for me to get that song stuck in my head.

Same, and also "narwhal".
There's a part of me that's ashamed that I remember the entire thing. Then I remind myself that I also remember all the words to "Oh No You Didn't", and I just climb into the shamehole of my own volition.
Edit: To add the link, someone else will suffer with me.
wAIT IT WAS A SONG???? i just thought it was a random catchphrase or something
If I remember right, it was a kinda a quiet thing? I think some of the Mercenaries 2 promotional stuff had links to download the song, but I don't remember any real fanfare over it.
Which is kinda sad, because it's surprisingly catchy in its own goofy fashion.
They're the Jedi of the Sea!
Mine's we like the moon
Spongmonkeys!
Is it because it is good to us?
Because it's close to us!
The good to us was from the Quiznos commercial
Damn!
"EVERYONE LOVES MAGICAL TREVOR..."
Ooh his tricks are ever so clever!
Goddamnit.
I mean, in hindsight they were. He sent a cow forward in time to witness Lemmy, then brought him back to report what he saw.
Constantly upset that my boyfriend is two years older than me and knows nothing of Homestar Runner.
Not even TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR?
Clearly the boyfriend is a fuckin liar
BURNiNATOR
I have a shirt with him and nobody around me gets the reference.
The good times are over!
My Spoon is Too Big
I am a banana!
Hokay, so here's the earth.
Know Your Meme
Daim, that's a sweet erth
WRONG!!!
I say "hokay, so" at least 10 times a week and I'm pretty sure everyone just thinks its a thing I say, and no one gets that it's a reference
now and again I just follow it up with Zis is ze earth to get those sweet sweet confused looks or the seldom sly smile.
I'm glad I learned about this today, it's hilarious. It reminds me of sam onella and bill wurtz.
Sam onella turned out to be a full on fashy. Said the hard r, had some bad takes about queer people, the whole 9 yards. Too small to have been cancelled but I'm still disappointed
Girlfriend’s age?
Schfifty-Five
My IQ?
Schfifty! Schfifty! SCHFIFTY!
All I have to say is "TROOOOOOOOGDOOOOOR!"
“Burninatung the houses”
And the…THATCH ROOF COTAGEEEEEEEEES!!!

Everybody to the limit!
It's me, it's to the limit
The system, is down.

Don't you do Raffi dirty like that. He's an international treasure, and he's still doing sold-out shows for the "Beluga Grads" to bring their kids to. My oldest has seen him twice (once with us, and then we got tickets for my MIL to take him one Christmas). My youngest never saw him (damn COVID).
Man is wholesome as fuck and he's still making new songs.
Wait, did he do "Noodles ony back" too?
I'm glad I forgot this one, and am pissed off I read it, stupid banana phone
It's too late for me...
Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger
Mushroom mushroom!
Snake! Oh it's a snake!
POOOOOORK IT'S THE MEAT OF KINGS

TROGDOR!!!! 🐉🔥
IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZER!!!!!!!!
I've been rewatching old seasons of The Great British Bake Off and it blew my mind when one of the hosts said he played Old Greg. Does anyone remember that weird ass online sketch?
That was an episode of The Mighty Boosh.
Ah, I knew it was from something, but had no idea what exactly.
Noel Fielding is a well-known British comedian, mate
Haha it's definitely possible I live under a rock.
To be fair, I didn't connect him with that probably because I never saw The Mighty Boosh, or much British media in general. Out of context, it was just one weird thing we would show each other from the internet at school among a bunch of weird, other things from the internet. I completely forgot it existed until he brought it up in an episode, and then the memories came back, along with Salad Fingers and other weird, this in this thread.
I'm keeping that show in the holster for if my kid ever starts becoming normal
I could never date someone who doesn’t remember the Vine Era
Too new
I never understood Vine, and I still don't understand TikTok. But, tell me about a weird man riding on an amazing horse, and I know exactly what you mean.
I used to be with “it,” but then they changed what “it” was. Now what I’m with isn’t “it” anymore, and what’s “it” seems weird and scary.
Ring goes on, ring goes off
I will very occasionally throw a LegendaryFrog reference into conversation. I've only ever had one person get it, but man oh man did it make my day when it finally happened.
I do the same thing with Derrick comedy videos, a friend of mine picked up on it once and that was the time we instantly became friends.
Chop down the rain forest! Burn fossil fuels! Buy Mercedes Benzes!
Shifty five

Gonads in the lightning! In the lightning!
Gonads and strife... Gonads and strife...
Weeeeeeeee!
But I'm le Tired
https://www.stickgames.com was awesome
AddictingGames.com was another great one
Miniclip too
So many hours wasted on addicting games. I think the impossible quiz was the first thing I played on it.
For all you boomers out there, there was a game I used to play on addicting games that was like a smash clone, except I think you could get like guns and lightsabers and stuff? It wasn't super smash flash or ...
As I was googling more evidence that it wasn't a fever dream I made up, I found it! The game was called chaos faction. Fuck I spent a lot of time on that...
It was the N game for me. And then came RuneScape....
When I tried to play RuneScape, I did it on my uncle's computer. RuneScape asked me to verify if I was 13, which I wasn't, so I clicked no. Then the site proceeded to block me from making an account, along with storing a cookie I guess that prevented me from just refreshing the page and trying again. I felt pretty bad because I thought they banned my uncle's computer forever from playing lol. Hence I never played RuneScape...
I’m the captain of the gravy train!
Oh no, you just shanked my Jenga ship!
Let's sing a song of Pennzoil.
I'm a song from the 60s.
Where can you find lions?
Only in Kenya
Can someone offer a comparison between Kenya and, say, Norway?
I like rusty spooons

And this! Originally hosted on Albino Black sheep, it's one of my favorite sappy love stories ever.
I've seen things! They're often in disguise
Liquid Generation SABOTAGE
Crab battle!

This feels newish considering the smooth 3D animation style. When did it come out?
I can't remember exactly when, but I've been developing elearning multimedia since 2001, and up until about 2017 we were building everything in Flash, so stuff like this always grabbed me and my co-workers attention. The co-worker who showed me this hasn't worked with us since about 2007 or 8, so before then for sure. He was a younger fellow who practically lived on newgrounds and albinoblacksheep and other such sites...
I'm so happy others remember this one. It's so good. They had other ones, too. Very consistent artists.
Yeah this one really stuck in my memories. The art was so cool. Remember Ninjai,the little ninja? That series was soo well done, but unfortunately seems to have disappeared from the internet. I'd love to go back and re-watch them...
Yo, tag me in! We gonna watch some Neil Cicierega and Brad Neely.

No mention at all of rathergood, camp chaos, joe cartoon, ebaums, or jibjab
Ebaum's is best forgotten to the annals of time. Truly the 9gag of its' era. Third party content with a watermark, bottom of the barrel community, horrible leadership.
Jibjab's 2004 election video was so great!

Does anyone remember this? http://www.aninote.com/site.mpl?p=cont&cont=jgo
No... shame the site is down though, I bet it would have been really funny to play with
Poptart Tragedy
Lol I have the opposite problem, my boyfriend is 6 years younger than me and hell make some reference to something from when he was a kid and I'll just be like "mmmm musta missed that one."
The entire medium was pushed to new limits with Ninjai.
Nobody mentioned the fenserfilm G.I. Joe PSAs!?? Porkchop sandwiches!!
I remember when duck.fla got past Newgrounds' community police. Those were dark times.
I also remember the huge success Metal Gear Awesome had and how some people threw a shitfit at it being top 30 for months. It was fun to see people making fun of them.
I remember playing Pico's School...in school.
My wife (5 years younger than me) doesn't know about Pico's School. But she remembers weeblstuff. Kenya believe it?
Kenya? The place with the crazy, crazy lions?
I still watch Home star Runner
I seem to recall a hilarious one about someone eating Mike Tyson's (?) Cheetos. . Or something like that
