Hampster Dancing?

The "breakdancing rodent" Strong Bad tries to download is based off Hampster Dance a popular website from a few years ago which featured a number of animated hamsters dancing. This site spawned a number of imitators.

Arguments for:

  • The Hampster Dance is considered one of the most popular memes in the history of the Internet. It featured numerous animated gifs of a hamster (misspelled as "hampster") dancing to some annoying music.

Arguments against:

  • The Hampster Dance wasn't a GIF, and IIRC it was more than one dancing creature
  • From the Wikipedia article cited above: Using four simple animated GIFs (emphasis added) of hamsters, repeated dozens of times each, and a background loop embedded in the HTML, then a fairly new browser feature, she named the site Hampton's Hampster House and had Hampton declare his intent to become a "web star".
  • The style is very different.

Additional comments:

  • This is a break-dancing hamster. It wears rings, and it doesn't have stubby arms like the hamsters on that site (my cousin goes on it).

Undisconnected

Strong Bad also checked an email in part-time job without any cables. It is possible that both these times, he downloaded the emails beforehand.

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

  • Since Strong Bad is currently downloading a GIF file, he must still be connected to the network. While he may have downloaded the email previously, it doesn't explain how he is able to currently download.
