              I hate how hard it’s to convey this masterpiece of a meme to younger audience now that Newgrounds doesn’t use the music background anymore and ng isn’t a default go to media place for them. Even Know Your Meme doesn’t mention why this is created.

                  Newgrounds used to have audio visualizer, one of it feature the badger, mushroom, and snake, so someone went and create this song as a joke, and it blows up because some of us will have that visualizer running.

                  It’s also catchy.

    Wisconsinite here where the badger is native and the mascot for the University of Wisconsin is the Badger.

    This meme is inaccurate.

    The American Badger will also remove your kidneys and sell them on the black market as well, to support their meth habit.

      The badger moniker comes from lead miners that initially settled the Wisconsin territory. They often didn’t even bother building homes at first and just lived in their wildcat lead mines, like a badger.

      I’m in new mexico and saw a badger crossing the road while I was driving to work. It stopped in the middle of the road, turned towards me and waited, like it was deciding whether or not to fuck up the large metal thing coming towards it. Then slowly turned and continued on it’s way when it decided I wasn’t worth it. No fear whatsoever.

      No dude, you’re thinking of the other kind of British. I’m pretty sure their badgers are related to the homosapiens poulus aggressor, more commonly known as “football hooligans” to the locals.

    Brother in law had a huge wolf dog. The kind that can put it’s paws on your shoulders and look at you face to face. Massive. He got in a tussel with a badger and got tore up, took two weeks to heal. Then took off and came back with a 40 lbs badger in his mouth. Overall a 40 lbs meth badger = 150 lbs wolf dog.

    Australian badgers are half this size, have no teeth at all, but can project venom 50ft from a gland in their nostril. The venom is completely harmless to humans, however it soaks into the skin and causes a pheromone to be emitted from the lungs such that when you are asleep, it attracts 14 different species of deadly venomous spiders that are attracted to your airway from up to a 4km radius.

      This is all true but it’s missing a key detail. The Australian badger is actually completely unrelated to the European and American badgers (which are mustelids). The Australian badger is a marsupial most closely related to the Tasmanian devil.
