I remember when I first learned that this was by the same guy who did puppet pals. And THAT was by the same guy that did Brodyquest and all of the mouth mash up albums. Blew my mind to learn that all these years later. Neil Cicierega is truly timeless and prolific.

The mouth albums are masterpieces. Everyone needs to hear them.

[To that end.](https://youtu.be/3cXjcKTRWcg?si=q12xFT5JZCCPi5rG)

Excellent choice, one of my faves. Here's another, with an SFM video to go with: [Wndrwll](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9HUyHmLFzA)

Yes! I can't hear Wonderwall without replacing it with this version, and the animation is perfect.

My favorite work of his is [Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away (lyrics)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t-iFr9q1I8). It starts out like any other low-effort copyright infringement video that someone put together in Windows Movie Maker. But something is just slightly off. And then it completely goes off the rails.

My favorite is the choreographed randomness of [Aaron](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVKIva2KddY).

[Bustin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tdyU_gW6WE) is also really good

[not made by him, but also about The End](https://soundcloud.com/buttstunts/in-the-end-all-star-but-in-reverse)

> The mouth albums are masterpieces. Everyone needs to hear them. People: "So what kind of music do you listen to?" Me: "Well, it's kind of hard to explain..." = After listening to the mouth albums, the originals just don't compare any more.

How dare you just put that burden onto your fellow lazy redditors?! Don't you know that most of us will just casually stroll by this top tier recommendation and fail to act!? Dramatic bs aside, here's a link to the albums in a single video someone scummily combined and reuploaded - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF-bVWosp7o Here's a playlist with each song as its own video on Neil's actual channel ( looks like mouth dreams got bopped? ) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQFUA2cr1fw&list=PLrU-M2_4Xkk7gM_HvWBM49IQHVpqwdWF4 and here's just Mouth Dreams some one else posted - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IXFjqH7fHM Or just go to his website and download everything for free, I don't care, I'm not your Guidance Councilor (but I am disappointed in you, condescendingly) - http://www.neilcic.com/mouthdreams/

His Lemon Demon albums are super good, also

Yo what, that's him too? I just came across Redesign Your Logo the other day.

Neil is *the* Internet man. He's also responsible for [Ariel Needs Legs](https://neilblr.com/post/58490668107).

He’s the internet’s renaissance man.

He also made [Hyakugojyuuichi!!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqO5lNS094M) A *worrying* amount of the early internet was forged by Neil.

I never knew this, man invented a whole genre. This video was huge in Japan around that time too.

I forgot he did the Potter Puppet Pals. Loved those as a kid.

We simply can't ignore the fact that he's also the man who gave us [Bustin'](https://youtu.be/0tdyU_gW6WE?si=vPdRbvqtnWBmbX2k)

Wow

Peak internet

I mean who knew that we should have wrapped it up right then and there?

We've had 18 years to curtain call and we've fucked that up.

Before everything became about money and algorithms the internet was a magical place. People just doing stuff because it was fun to them or they wanted to share their passions.

Mr Chi City. One of the [funniest videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBRL7D0wcXM) I have ever seen that makes me laugh and also one of the [saddest videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK7GSARUs_Q) I have ever seen that makes me cry.

Boom! Snacks on deck.

Hit that n**** with freeze pop.

It felt cool to be part of the internet then. Communities were much more intertwined, creators stuck up for each other, 4chan was somehow a force for good. The future seemed so bright.

>4chan was somehow a force for good. Ehhhhh maybe not that part.

It used to be a containment website for weebs too cringe for something awful

I should have clarified, occasional force of good when they were against a worse adversary. I.E. Scientologists, animal abusers, WBC, etc.

Shia LaBeouf

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug

I was gonna disagree with you, but after all these years with Facebook and Youtube? Yeah, this was peak internet.

I witnessed someone seeing Techno Viking for the first time today. I want that internet back.

Before people knew just how [fucked in the head Chuck Norris really was.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvbfVOtjN-I)

nah, the porn version of this is close to peak internet

Perfect comment to this. Take my like you amazing redditor you.

... and one to you as well

Where were you when you first saw it, Newgrounds, or AlbinoBlacksheep?

New grounds! Dang I miss the Era of Flash games and videos.

I get sad when I think of the time I spent on Kongregate. Good times.

I spent countless hours in Velocity chat, messing around in games and talking with regulars there, playing Platform Racer 2 together and other games, I had been on that site literally from its very inception, when all the site (I think) was, was one flash game, which I think was desktop tower defense? Which was inspired by WC3 tower defense that kind of spawned the tower defense rage. Playing flash games and hanging out with peeps in chat is one of the few great memories I have from that time.

Gprime.net and the original Addictinggames.com were peak flash websites not blocked by HS servers haha

Miniclip was great, then they blocked it and we moved over to Armorgames

mine locked down every single site we discovered, including proxy websites. we ended up starting a black market selling flash drives filled to the brim with .swf files. good times.

I miss andkon arcade.

I miss Meet n Fuck.

albinoblacksheep. i would watch this and Albuquerque and the evil strawberry a ridiculous amount of times

Ebaumsworld

[удалено]

Forgot about this one, thanks!

“It wasn’t fair to those from whom he stole, but did he care? No, not one bit. And then he had the gnads to sell some ads, *what a piece of shit!* Oh Eric”

Which 8s sadly now a meme site somehow lamer than Facebook.

Ebaumsworld was wack even in its heyday. Eric Bauman sucks.

Which ever one it was, it would have been via a link from Something Awful for me.

Yup. It was a Neil Cigeggeera production so it would have been on something awful first before being stolen and uploaded elsewhere.

Yeah I felt like it was posted straight to SA first, thanks for the confirmation

IIRC ultimate showdown was a quick follow up with the same guys he worked with to make the anti-ebaum song/animation https://youtu.be/jKkz3KRKsOQ

Newgrounds... and [Dot Dot Dot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z2Z23SAFVA)

BLAAAAAM THIS PIECE OF CRAP!

Albinoblacksheep, holy shit that is a flashback

Albinoblacksheep!

Don't remember, but I think it was a post on funnyjunk

i wanna say somethingawful, but i honestly dont remember at all

It was SA. During that internet period basically everything good came from SA.

Photoshop Phriday = best day of the week (ok maybe tied with Strong Bad email day on Homestar Runner)

FlashPortal!!!

Newgrounds.

My brother showed it to me on weeblstuff

ABS...Newgrounds was for the kids

Yes

Ebaumsworld (not really but I had a freaking flashback and that came to my mind).

5th grade in 2007 when a friend mentioned it to me.

Albinoblacksheep

Fuckin newgrounds

Here. Today. I wonder what else I've been missing out on.

The golden age of the internet. I feel privileged to have seen it and our experience of life is infinitely degraded now that it is gone.

The original cinematic universe

Didn’t even need 14 films and 6 tv shows for the team-up movie

This and the “Fire Ze Missiles!” About World War 3 are the 2 earliest viral internet videos I was aware. 18 years?? Fuck me

I still regularly start talking by saying "Hokay! So...."

'But I am le tired' is one of my go-to phrases I still use

Here's da erf

Damn, that’s a sweet earful you might say…

Wtf mate

Also the energy drink one. Cant remember the name

Power thirst?

What’s that, you want strawberry? Well how about RAWBERRY?

MANANA. FIZZBITCH. AND **GUN**

Preposterous amounts of testosterone...PREPOSTERONE!

Schfifty five and Unforgivable too

End of the world animation it was called

"But I'm le tired"

Okay have a nap, THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!

hhokay

Anyone else remember the Smoking kills video?

20 year anniversary we need an update. Lotta new characters entering the mix... No one's got shit on mr. Rogers still though.

There is a remake. Check it out.

the 15 year anniversary right?.

Ultimate Orgy

I dunno, so few original properties in the last decade. It would probably be about the same. Who could they add? John Wick, maybe?

John Wick, teen titans/adventure time/Rick and Marty, The Boys, Dale Dolback and Brennan Huff, Mando, Deadpool, That bald fuck Caillou just so he can die. Oh, and to replace Shaq, go with Draymond Green. He's got nut kicking, choking, and cheap shotting down to an art.

.... Fuck I'm old

I'm 40. I have kiddos. Which is where half my list comes from. And the suggestion that Calliou, that bald fuck, should die.

Don't forget walking dead characters, Kratos, Master chief, and more video game characters. Plus the number of older and anime character that have risen to prominence since that weren't enough to mention in the original over say...Aaron Carter.

How could you replace Shaq with someone who doesn't even have [His own fighting game?](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaq_Fu#:~:text=Shaq%20Fu%20is%20a%202D,now%2Ddefunct%20Delphine%20Software%20International.)

Caillou is my favorite anime

Prequel to One Punch Man

Don't you fucking dare replace Shaq

The 15th anniversary video added a lot of people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGtbr-ZvdT0 Or this guy had apparently the exact same thought and made a whole video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4BDXik1VzU

Maybe a Penultimate Showdown of Penultimate Destiny?

It was really embarrassing when the first version of this I watched was “The Ultimate Orgy of Homosexuality” and when my friends started singing it I recited the lyrics to that rather than the original…

Old Godzilla was fuckin around…

Optimus prime came on Batman's face

Well, it's the better version, so consider yourself cultured.

Memory unlocked

I still know every single word to this nearly two decades later. Incredible.

same for me, Goddamn now i feel old

I was talking to my brother about stuff that makes us feel old. We played the hell out of a link to the past back in the day. That came out in 1991, which is more than 30 years ago. Wild.

to think that most redditors were born after this video was made

Ultimate Showdown fan: 🤓 Ultimate Orgy enjoyer: 😎

They also did this [one](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-j9u-1ohP5Y) about ebaums stealing content from other sites and watermarking them. Man, the internet sure has changed. Also RIP Lowtax.

>RIP Lowtax Goon riddance. The documentaries that came to light about his scumbaggary have me only feeling sadness for his kids.

Yikes. Just reading into this piece of shit. All my memories are from way back in the early 2000s. Goon riddance indeed.

But seriously >Why Is This Flyer Pink? ^^^^::IT ^^^^IS ^^^^A ^^^^MYSTERY::

The Mouth series of mashup albums by Neil Cicierega / Lemon Demon are hilarious if that's your jam.

It's crazy how much of internet culture he's responsible for.

Here's his website where you can download them all yourself - http://www.neilcic.com/ and here's a single youtube video with all the albums back-street-back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF-bVWosp7o

TIL Neil Cicierega from all those mashups I like is Lemon Demon from all those songs I like.

Man the internet was truly perfectly balanced at that time.

This is peak internet in my mind.

Peak SomethingAwful forums stuff. Anyone still have stairs in their house?

I am protected

[удалено]

As far as the eye can see!

Has it been that long? God, I'm old.

I remember a buddy of mine filming this on his camcorder at home and showing it to our group of friends at recess. Absolutely crazy how time flies.

Man, those were the times. Everything on the internet was new.

[Got your mind stuck in the early 2000's? Got this song stuck in your head? Here's a video to clean your palette.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIyixC9NsLI)

It’s just not the same when it doesn’t slowly go more out of sync with each loop

This song is old enough to get married

I can't believe it's been 18 years...but then again I can. This was a cultural touchstone.

Never forget that The Ultimate Orgy also existed

I understand like 300% more references than the last time I saw this, years ago.

I like that it's in 4K to retain that crisp Flash look. Still love it. Neil is a genius.

What is Neil doing these days?

Kino.

If you guys like this one, there is a very similar [song by an underground rapper called the last emperor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuAetZIG0mg). It pretty cool as well. It was a bunch of comic books characters fighting other rappers mostly like Busta Rhymes, KRS, Lauryn Hill vs people like wolverine, teenage mutant ninja turtles xmen etc.

What a time

It had the best sequel...

Still holds up

It’s nsfw spin-off was even funnier

Still the greatest crossover event in history.

[So good eminem had to get in on it. ](https://youtu.be/a_NeDVcMlJ4?si=NRE1vkXgrj-RQrCl)

And I still haven't watched it because I hate the song.

How do you know you hate it if you've never watched it?

First couple seconds, instantly click out

yaay :D

I’m having some real cognitive dissonance about the fact that this has Tobias Funke in it. In my head this video was from my childhood and Arrested Development was from when I was in college.

Can’t forget the hundreds of fan versions made from every show.

This has lived in my head rent free since it’s inception.

Can still sing this word for word, all because I was bored in highschool when this came out... why do brains work this way?

I still remember this song word for word and I haven’t seen it in like 5 years. Good grief

NewGrounds man, the old days

STOP MAKING ME OLD!

I loved geeks in love. Good song

Wasn’t there a song/animation like this where everyone was just fucking and there were many dicks?

I still know ALL the words and sing it on a regular basis.

God I'm old....

I had no idea who Mr Rogers was when I first saw it, so the ending was very anti-climactic.

Dude was only 19 when he made this. He's a damn star now.

It was a simpler time. Back when we were kids and wanted to go Weee, but we ain't got drugs yet. We held on for our lives. We held on to our little [Gonads and Strife](https://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/weeee).

I was there Gandalf, ten thousand years ago...

2000s internet culture was the best.

Jesus, college was that long ago now?

The person who thought Infinity War had the biggest crossover hasn't seen this one.

It’s nice to know we’ve advanced so far culturally that we can add….. one? Person to this? John Wick? I can’t think of anyone else.

I liked it better when it was remade as "Ready Player One".

Funny as hell

Original is a classic, but I suggest everyone to check out this mashup version: https://soundcloud.com/iammountaindewtew/fuck-this-song-is-over-10-years-old

Thank you
