Errrmmm...
Really, there's not much to write here. It's a catchy little song that makes no sense but is a little bit cute and funny in its own right. Somebody made a cartoon for the song. Voila! You have the badger badger website.

Honestly, if you wandered into this Reviews section and haven't seen it yet, just go watch the darn thing. You could have seen one cycle of this eternally-looping cartoon in the time it took you to read this review. But be forewarned: You may have it stuck in your head until next Tuesday.

This is the little repetitive short that could. It's pretty funny, the animation was smooth and decent, and its so (censored) catchy it will drive you crazy. I find myself singing it in the middle of the day, at random times, just in time to drive my FAMILY crazy.

This is a great one to send to someone if you want their kids or younger siblings to follow them around the house all day going "badger badger badger badger". The animation is ok, definitely not the best I've seen in a Flash video though. Sometimes it's a bit off from the song but it's not too bad. Overall it's ok, good for one watch at least.

It's the Flash animation that caused a sensation...

It’s also Flash that really makes me wish that the package had stayed as a web-editing tool: rather than the one used to create short animation that could be used and abused by just about anyone with a rudimental knowledge of animation techniques it is now.

Copying and pasting the same animated image over and over again is not clever, well not if done in this fashion. I can only imagine that the only reason it became so popular is because of the very fact that it is so easily emulated.

A lack of effort piece that inspires others to do lacklustre pieces is bad enough, the even lesser effort of carbon copying just cements this as something to avoid. It not funny, even on the first visit, it endlessly loops and quickly gets annoying… If I wanted all that, I think I rather listen to the Llama song, least that has a more coherent song.

NB: Please understand that I have nothing against using flash as an animation tool, when done well it can be very entertaining (in the case of 'Europe and Italy' or 'There she is' it can be really entertaining).
