I have a scheme, a dream harem (SLvid, audio NSFW)

A slightly silly and squirrelly animation for a rather rude song. Contains meerkats with beehive hair and a very large singing squirrel with a bad wig. Found through b3ta, a long time ago.

I can't watch it yet as I'm on my phone - have to wait until "work" on Monday - but thank you for the introduction to b3ta which looks like fun :)

I've been a fan of b3ta.com for a long time (I'll hold back on the "YOU NEVER HEARD OF X BEFORE?!?" crap), an old school messageboard site with a community of mostly-British creatives best known for its Image Challenges (don't call them Photoshop Contests) and for painfully giving birth to the Internet Surrealist known as cyriak. Obligatory Trigger Warnings: b3ta is blissfully disinterested in "NSFW" standards, so you may encounter content considered offensive for almost all reasons, but even more often content considered "TOFPNFUK" (Too Obscure For Persons Not From UK).

There was a time, probably ten years ago now, when every meme or internet joke seemed to emanate from b3tans. That time has since been lost to endless image macros, text-on-a-picture and a kind of trolling humour that seems far removed from the surreal imaginations at work then.

Great days, my friends. We shall never see their like again.

Those new to the b3ta experience will find no better distillation of the aesthetic than the Veitch brothers' Anal Seepage.

Naming a couple more names of legends which immediately spring to mind, that's where Badger Badger Badger Badger originated, and also the horror claymation videos of Lee Hardcastle.
