What is this?
Badger, badger, badger, badger… This is the legendary 2003 "Badger Badger Badger" dancing-badgers loop — Jonti Picking's Weebl Flash classic — brought back as a fullscreen browser screensaver. A whole row of badgers throws its little arms up in a wave, the mushrooms pop up at the end of every round, and every so often the meadow erupts with a "snaaake!" as one slithers past. Endless, hypnotic, gloriously pointless nostalgia.
⚠ A harmless fan tribute — it's just a web page, nothing is installed. The original song isn't included; flip on the optional groove beat if you want rhythm. Press Esc to leave.

▸ Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ — Badger Badger Badger
What is Badger Badger Badger?
It's a 2003 looping Flash animation by Jonti Picking (Weebl) showing a row of cartoon badgers dancing to a chant of "badger badger badger", interrupted by "mushroom, mushroom" and then a sudden "snaaake!". It became one of the defining early internet memes. This is that loop recreated as a browser screensaver.
Is this the original Flash animation?
No. The original ran on Adobe Flash, which modern browsers no longer support. This is a tribute redrawn from scratch with HTML5 canvas and JavaScript, so the badgers keep dancing on any modern device with nothing to install.
Does it play the song?
To respect copyright it does not play the original Weebl track. There's an optional, generic groove beat you can toggle on for a little rhythm, but it's muted by default.
Where's the snake?
Just wait — a snake slithers across every so often and the screen shouts "snaaake!". Speed up how often with the Snake Frequency slider, or press S to summon one instantly.
What can I customise?
Switch between Classic, Disco, VHS and Night modes, set how many badgers dance, the dance speed and the snake frequency, and toggle mushrooms, the snake, scanlines and an optional beat.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no ads, no watermark. It's one of the free browser-based tools at jasperbernaers.com.
