The opening badger scene of "Badger Badger Badger""Badger Badger Badger" or "Badgers" is a Flash cartoon by British animator Jonti Picking. It consists of images of badgers doing calisthenics, a toadstool in front of a tree, and a snake in the desert. Accompanied by electronic music, a voice repeats the word "badger" over the animation, breaking off to say either "mushroom" or "a snake" at the appropriate moments.[1]

The cartoon, published 2 September 2003, loops indefinitely. The first two badger scenes contain twelve badgers; subsequent badger scenes contain eleven badgers. After a long running time, the song becomes out of sync with the animation.

The cartoon brought Picking to the attention of MTV Europe, for whom Picking produced Weebl and Bob.[1] 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.[2] "Badger Badger Badger" was also listed as one of the top five internet fads of all time by PC World.

The moral of the story is....not all trips on magic mushrooms are good ones. Apparently the guy who did this animation was chased by a snake during his last trip and it was "BIG". Apparently the upside is, such drug induced voyages have brought us several well known childrens stories and characters such as Alice in Wonderland and the Badgers.
