I got my friend with that one back in the day. It was Flash so much harder to detect a loop than a video. I told him the ending was hilarious and he managed about 20 minutes of badger badger badger badger badger until he figured it out.
Finally some good fucking news!
I remember this cat video I liked.
🎶 Cat , I’m a kitty cat, and I dance dance dance. And I dance dance dance. 🎵
And I wanted to make it my ring tone. Back when phones were just starting to let you have custom tones.
And I sent the creator an email and asked if I could have a mp3. And he responded and sent it and I was like.
“Omg. This famous guy who made this video with like 100,000 views talked to me!”
I remember bragging to my friends that this famous video creator talked to me online.
Simpler times.
Now it’s 24 million views On YouTube. I’m pretty sure I messaged them on black sheep or some other video site that was popular around 2006.
This has lived rent free in my brain for decades, and I can’t say I hate it lol
What really should be preserved is the entirety of Homestar Runner.
It probably has been by someone since it is all on YouTube now, and I think they have revived the site to most of the old functionality (I could be wrong, I’d need to be on PC to really check). The things that YouTube can’t preserve is the stuff like the mouse over Easter eggs etc.
Homestar Runner’s website still works through the use of Ruffle, an open-source and secure Flash reimplementation. The loss of the easter eggs is a big drawback, but on the other hand it does mean that you focus more on the content than constantly looking for things to click on.
I clicked the post hoping to see the original. I did not. I’m so disappointed in you
