Badger Badger Badger originally is a flash animation. To properly archive this, both the flash animation and a machine definition which can run that animation (eg: having a browser with flash plugin) should be stored, not just a video file.

The original SWF file can be played by Ruffle (https://ruffle.rs/). Depending on your criteria for preservation a simple web page may be sufficient.

So they posted Badgers assuming that means they've contacted the creator, so why does it say they still need to contact them to get the original files? Weird

Anyways, here's the original in the original format (well, emulated with Ruffle): flash animation.

Kinda sad if you think about it.

If you ask any British person in my generation, "Badger badger badger badger?" they'll probably join in. I don't think you appreciate how viral and beloved it is.

There's even a version with Brians May and Blessed.
