The End of the World (also known as End of Ze World) is a Flash animated viral video created by Jason Windsor of Albino Blacksheep in 2003. A copy of the animation uploaded by Albino Blacksheep to YouTube in 2008 had approximately 14 million views before being abandoned in favor of a higher-resolution version.

Around the time the video was created, the United States invaded Iraq, which ultimately led to the Iraq War. In an interview with the Daily Dot in 2017, Windsor said "I don't know that I really thought that the world was going to end ... I guess that was kind of the first time I sort of had to comprehend that [the possession of nuclear weapons by foreign countries]."

I don't remember seeing the Japanese flag with China on that one. Wow, that must have been received well by certain populations at the time. (Not something I'd joke about at least, even if relations have improved.)
