From the Anti-Barney Humor Wikipedia article:

The Barney Fun Page is an early website that allows users to attack a crude drawing of Barney with icons representing a knife, gun, and other weapons. Hosted originally on a University of Alberta computer system, the website was created in 1994. It is among the oldest websites in the world still operating as of 2025.

    I was in my mid-20s when Barney first aired. So many of my friends were having kids, so Barney was on at their houses frequently. He was hard to avoid sometimes and it was awful.

      I was a teenager and had two younger siblings who were obsessed with it. I remember getting in trouble for hiding one of their VHS tapes.
