"Badger Badger Badger" is a meme that originated in 2003 as a Flash animation created by British animator Jonti Picking (Weebl). This animation features a series of badgers repeatedly dancing while chanting the word 'badger', interspersed with 'mushroom' and 'snake'. The content gained massive popularity among internet users due to its unique electronic music and simple animation, spreading rapidly through platforms like Newgrounds and YouTube.

This meme attracted significant attention from internet users due to its repetitive simplicity and quirky sense of humor, leading to various parodies and remix videos. Notably, famous parody versions like "Bananaphone" further popularized it. "Badger Badger Badger" has continued to be reinterpreted in various ways and even had a 20th-anniversary video created​.

In South Korea, it became widely recognized in the mid-to-late 2000s as a parody called "팥죽송" (Patjuk Song). Utilizing the repetitive rhythm and structure of the original, Korean users transformed it into humorous content with lyrics like "팥죽 팥죽 팥죽" (Patjuk Patjuk Patjuk). This parody maintained the addictive rhythm and unique humor of the original while incorporating the Korean traditional food patjuk, giving it a more familiar feel.

Through this, Korean netizens combined internet culture with Korean elements, creating a new parody culture. "팥죽송" spread rapidly through communities and blogs of the time. Such parodies demonstrate how original content's humor can be expanded by blending it with local elements and creating new layers of humor​.
