Badger Badger Badger

Badgers is a Flash cartoon by British animator Jonti "Weebl" Picking. It consists of 12 animated cartoon badgers doing calisthenics, a toadstool in front of a tree, and a snake in the desert. The Flash cartoon is accompanied by electronic dance music.

This Flash cartoon was published 2 September 2003. The cartoon loops indefinitely. The first two badger scenes contain twelve badgers; subsequent badger scenes contain eleven badgers.

The cartoon brought Picking to the attention of MTV Europe, for whom Picking produced Weebl and Bob. That cartoon series, together with the dancing badgers, helped Picking's website Weebl's Stuff win a People's Choice award from users of Yahoo! in the UK. "Badger Badger Badger" was also listed as one of the top five internet fads of all time by PC World in 2009.

The song maintains popularity with the science students of Whitelands College, University of Roehampton, whose sporting mascot is a badger.

The cartoon's song is performed by Weebl himself over an electronic dance beat.

The first snake line is off homage, although people say it "Argh! A snake!", "Oh, it's a snake", "Argh Snake! Snake, a snake!" "Ow, it's a snake!" "Argh, a f**king snake, f**king snake, a f**king snake!"

The audio doesn't play exactly with the visuals, exactly when they say the 12th "badger" repetition (a few minutes later) while the visuals show the mushroom (after approximately 15 to 30 minutes) which means the audio is off synchronization with the visuals. That plays for about 4 hours long, thereafter the gaps starts closing, the song and animation get back in sync, then lasts for 8 to 10 hours.
