This and The Saga Begins by Weird Al. I'd also say the bridge lives eternal - Then Gandalf The Grey and Gandalf The White and Monty-Python-and-the-Holy-Grail's-Black-Knight

There are two things that remain permanently at the front of my mind: the instructions for how to respond to being on fire, and most of this song.

I joined an internet forum in 2006 for Lemon Demon (by @neilcic.com) and met a lot of current Internet friends there. We just met in person, some of us for the first time, last weekend at a wedding for one of our friends!

Newgrounds used to be VITAL to the internet's culture. So many of the 'golden age' of internet animations were there along with all sorts of novel flash games. Had Newgrounds happened 20 years later the owners would all be billionaires after selling the platform to one of the streaming companies

shit i havent thought about this in years. pretty sure i can still recite the entire thing from memory. oh god this came out over 20 years ago :(

Same, but the “only 90s kids will remember (thing early zoomers are extremely familiar with)” thing is a beloved part of millennial culture so I’m not gonna take this from them.

other highlights: “but I am le tired” “badger badger badger” “chaaaaarlie” truly it was the age of flash

'ze end of ze world' was such a big deal that Nike hired the animator to make some commercials for their sportswear. here's a snippet

Lines from EOTW have absolutely permeated my consciousness. "AAUGH MOTHERLAND" for one, whenever anyone mentions geopolitics.

Showing age-appropriate stuff from this canon has been an unexpected delight of parenthood. 3yo LOVES the cat dance and Badger Badger

My brother started singing Llama Llama Duck, which I had FULLY forgotten about, while we were taking the cousins to the pumpkin patch yesterday and I got so excited to show my kid another one lol

Unfortunately a few of my favorites never got the cultural lock in they deserved, and didn't get updated, even though the person who created them is in bsky! ( But I don't want to bug him).

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Natsumi Step… Dad’s Home… Prowlies at the River… Hyakugojuuichi, Hatten är Din, Elevator Ravi… We Like the Moon… all these moments will be lost, like tears in the rain… time to de-install Flash.”

also “SHOW ME, SHOW YOU, KIKKOMAN, KIKKOMAN” every time soy sauce is mentioned, and an occasional “WE LIKE DE MOOOOON” or “LOBSTER STICK TO MAGNET” out of nowhere

Aw, I made my reply before I saw this lol. It's still on YouTube, FYI. And I dare say it holds up 😆

Every now and then I walk down the stairs and remember that someone needs to push me down the stairs to protect me from the terrible secret of space, and I worry that I'm the only one.

side note: i loved this song SO MUCH i had it on my mp3 player and accidentally forgot not to sing along to it on the BART circa 2006. good times, good times.

"This is the ultimate showdown, of ultimate destiny." I'm pretty sure most of Bluesky can sing parts if not all of those JibJab tunes from the aughts, and fondly remember the excitement of the latest Strongbad email.
