it was older than YT, TIL
The website was homestarrunner.com and before YouTube, we used to just manually check the website. It was part of my day to check and see if anything new was on the site Also notable was that they never advertised. Their entire operation was done by word-of-mouth, in a time where there were no Facebook or reddit or YouTube or anything. The internet was a lot more wild then.
Homestarrunner ("It's dot com!"), Weebl and Bob, nuklearpower, Joe Cartoon, Bob and George... it was a different world.
Stick figure death theatre, newgrounds, albinoblacksheep
Then Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White
And Monty Python and the Holy Grail's black knight
And Benito Mussolini and the Blue Meanie
And Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie
Robocop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader
Lo-pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger
Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan
Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan
All came out of nowhere lightning fast
And they kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy assIt was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw
With civilians looking on in total awe
Well the fight raged on for a century
Many lives were claimed, but eventually
A champion stood, the rest saw their better

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that remembers these lyrics. I imagine a very specific subset of our generation singing it in nursing homes before much longer.

..oh wait
I still sing random Weebl and Bob ditties to this day.
I sometimes find myself humming/singing Mr.Weebl songs and my wife is like "Who the fuck is Magical Trevor?" and I'm like "You had to be there to understand, don't worry about it"
I just have “badger badger badger badger” looping in my brain at random times.
Mushroom Mushroom!
Any time someone sneezes I ask"do you have germs!?"
If I look 10 feet to my left I can see my Insanity Prawn Boy plushie.
I miss that world so much...
Frog in a blender was one of my favorites. I think there was a hamster one too.
Of course we can't forget Hamster Dance and Badger Badger Badger.
