The Twisted Nightmare Of PINGU'S DREAM

[@AdamMartyn]

Thank you all for watching! If you could do me a favour and LIKE, COMMENT & SHARE this video around far and wide to everyone & everywhere you know, that would be immense!

Funnily enough, the Walrus was actually made before Pingu's production fully began because it can be seen in a showreel by Pingu's creator, Otmar Guttman.

[@arthurvasey]

That’s not a walrus - it’s Barry White!

[@BH-98]

Hearing the original Pingu theme was incredibly nostalgic. I’d heard of this episode despite not seeing it (I grew up in the 2000s after the ban had been placed on it) but seeing it here it’s easy to tell what it is that makes it so creepy

The redubbed version of Pingu's Dream makes the Walrus sound even funnier

[@Ponken123]

The walrus looks like Dr Phil. That's unnerving in itself.

[@phillnewton740]

The walrus has a chuckle like Dr Hibbert

[@dannytooley7530]

He does the other PERSoN said that the laugh I was fine not scared but poor Pingu and others people but you be ok ✅ guys

[@mgthestrange9098]

That’s exactly what i was thinking!

At least Pingu didn't start hallucinating dead relatives that keep asking him to "make us whole again"

This scared me back in the day. 😭 But, it was one of my favourite shows as a child. And, I loved the older theme tune rather than the new one.

[@squallrowlandson8028]

Everyone thinks Pingu's Dream is scary but I'd say Pingu Runs Away is worse because that episode freaked me out more as a kid with the scary ice statues and it was happening when Pingu was awake in his reality.

[@spicysausage4513]

Same!! That one gave me nightmares seeing Pingu so helpless as well.

[@eleanorhogan8643]

I think that I remember that episode, tell me unless I am wrong is that the episode where he gets trapped under some snow and Robbie the seal comes and he tells Robbie to go and get his parents.

[@faiezah49]

​@spicysausage4513that made me laugh

[@diaquallo]

That walrus…was a nightmare.

[@eleanorhogan8643]

To Adam, until you pointed out the details in the bedroom, I never thought of that as a toddler but now there are minor weird details about his bedside table, chair, wardrobe and bedsheets, I suppose it was cheaper to do that than add extras.

[@rankapetrovic-ru3oe]

I remember watching the episode and I was really scared when I saw the seal. The way he laughed just creeped me 😢

Oh god that intro took me back to a time i didnt know i remembered

[@AwesomeHyperSonic547]

This freaked me out as a kid, the way that giant walrus looks is just so unsettling. What’s even more horrifying is there’s a storybook version of this episode available. The fact it really exists when this episode freaked out kids is honestly beyond me. There’s readings available on this platform and also pictures on the Pingu Wiki on the Giant Walrus page.

[@scsutton1]

How much were the creators tripping when they made this nightmare fuel, though? Looking back, I'm guessing not as much as I originally thought.

[@retrometalguy]

In the middle of 2008 (which at that point I would of been almost 15), I found one KZbinr that did a dub over clip series called Pingu Chav, in which those were ABSOLUTELY funny to watch 😆

[@sanfordcurtis8242]

I think the KZbinr was called Matrix Badger. His chav pingu videos were absolutely hilarious 😂

[@kaitlyn__L]

That remix of the second, much worse, version of the theme tune is perfect. That really was the vibe they were, bizarrely, going for

[@tinkywinky9087]

I think the thing that creeps me out about that walrus would have to be its mustache. It's always the mustache that makes my stomach feel sick.

[@ezrastardust3124]

Why does the walrus sound like he’s either absolutely plastered or high af?

[@eleanorhogan8643]

Originally the walrus was roaring but it scared children in the test screenings so they changed it to laughing.

[@ezrastardust3124]

@@eleanorhogan8643 yikes 😬 I wonder if there’s any footage of the original roaring sounds left? Or maybe it’s lost media now

You aught to see the Thomas episode Trouble in the Shed as there’s a bit where Edward says “Last night they said I had Black Wheels”. Yes I am a Thomas fan and Trouble in the Shed is the middle episode of a trilogy arc.

I use to love watching Pingu, I remember getting one of the vhs at my local school fair years and years ago. But this episode with the Walrus I don’t remember at all. I don’t recall seeing this episode on tv but I believe I’ve seen memes of it. That’s weird honestly

I would recommend looking at Thomas the tank episodes that were just straight up horror. In Toby and the flood, you legit think they're gonna kill him off.

[@xxfyrezgamerxx6279]

Seeing you post all these old cartoons that I used to watch as a kid is bringing back so many of my childhood memories and it really does show how bad today's kid cartoons have gotten compared to these cartoons, they should get all these old cartoons back up on the air even though they don't make new episodes they should still be shown on TV, who else remembers aunty mabel and pippin from come outside? and other cartoons like balamory and the tweenies they were all truly amazing to watch and even though I'm 21 I will honestly admit I'd sign any petition to get all those old shows back up and running for todays generation, i would rather have today's kids watching this stuff than all the stupid crap that people are creating all over KZbin like the stupid skibbidi toilet crap.

[@ToastedAlmond98]

As a kid, I was frequently terrified by not-very-scary things, and Pingu was one of them. Whenever I mention this to people nowadays, I always have to clarify that it was *not* because of this episode - the BBC wisely decided to omit this one from their VHS releases, which were my only exposure to Pingu at the time. Which was probably a good call on their part, because if I'd been scared before, that episode would have had me running for the hills. As it is, I didn't see it until I started mucking about on KZbin as a teenager, by which time I'd just about conquered my fear.

[@tessfabled4115]

This genuinely scared the shit out of me as a child, fairly certain it's responsible for a period of blank memories around that time period :P

[@tessfabled4115]

Also the walking bed is a reference to Little Nemo in Slumberland, if anyone hasn't picked that up :)

[@lockout5731]

Pingu was weird and insane but perfect for the memes and dialogue and stories I grew up with him NOOT NOOT indeed

[@sambee8982]

There was another episode of Pingu that had controversy where Pingu kept having accidents, and the episode was banned in a few countries....

[@cosmiquealiene6168]

I caught this once when I was very tiny, right before it got pulled. It almost felt like a fever dream for many years - had there really been a Pingu episode so utterly terrifying???? I hated that horrible walrus and the fact that it seemed like he might eat Pingu upset me as a little girl. When I found out it had been banned, decades later, suddenly it all made sense!

[@DavidDoom95]

Good Video, Man! I hope you react to another episode of Brum called The Crazy Chair Chase

Is this a re-upload? I could’ve sworn that I’ve seen this video before

[@joelharris1335]

Thank goodness this episode got banned! Why the hell did the BBC released the episode in the first place?

[@eleanorhogan8643]

Do you know you got a point there, this was aimed at preschoolers!, that means that 2-5 year olds watched it and got traumatised for it.

Off-topic, but in light of news that Doctor Who will premiere on 11 May, which is also the same night as the Eurovision grand final, have you thought about doing a video looking at all the times Doctor Who and Eurovision aired the same night? I’ve actually done the research and found that they’ve been 18 other occasions before this this year, which will be number 19. They’re two occasions where Doctor Who episodes were pushed back a week to accommodate Eurovision. My results: 1964: March 21 (Marco Polo ep 5) 1965: March 20 (the Web Planet ep 6) 1966: March 5 (the ark ep 1) 1967: April 8 (the faceless ones ep 1) 1968: April 6 (Fury From the Deep ep 4) 1969: March 29 (the space pirates ep 4) 1970: March 21 (the ambassadors of death ep 1) 1971: April 3 (the claws of Axis ep 4) 1972: March 25 (the sea devils ep 5) 1973: April 7 (planet of the Daleks ep 1) 1974: April 6 (the monster of Peladon ep 3) 1975: March 22 (Genesis of the Daleks ep 3) 2005: May 21 ( the Empty Child) 2006: May 20 (The Age of Steel) 2010: May 29 (Cold Blood) 2011: May 14 (the Doctor’s Wife) 2013: May 18 (the name of the Doctor) 2017: May 13 (Oxygen) 2024: May 11 (premiere). Series 3 and series 4 in 2007 and 2008 perspectively had a two week gap between episodes due to eurovision airing during their schedules.

[@Nostalgic80s-nd3qb]

Considering this episode is terrifying, I think it’s a miss opportunity that you didn’t make a one off Video Scaries episode but that’s just my opinion. That walrus definitely haunted children’s dreams the day they watched the episode. Another excellent episode reviewing a kids show Adam.👏👏👏

Love Pingu. Definitely love stop motion generally for the craftmanship of it (and also the aesthetic), and fully with you on it looking better to me than CGI Music as the igloo flies away - ...I swear that sounds like a freaking 80s Doctor Who score. Oh it's the episode with the thing that looks like Frampt from Dark Souls. If you're going to continue to do these kids show deep dives, any chance on an episode delving into why we don't seem to see kids shows with as much on-screen death as The Animals of Farthing Wood had anymore? What was it about the 90s that made it ok to depict on screen death of animal protagonists in children's media in a way it apparently isn't ok now? What shows are giving modern kids the opportunity to 'Practice Grief' in the same way that my generation had the opportunity to do so via TAoFW?

It wasn't the only one to get banned for being too scary. 'Pingu Runs Away' also got the same treatment. Also, it would have been worse for Pingu if it was a leopard seal and not a walrus (those fuckers actually eat penguins).

[@mrspepperycar1341]

@AdamMartyn you wanna know what makes the Walrus even creepier? there were three direct to VHS Korean released English dub, that were made to teach Korean kids how to speak English with the ending of each tape having a listen and repeat section. being Korean taught English, some sentences are REALLY badly lost in translation such as this episode, having the Walrus say things like: "hmm cute baby penguin" "hmm cute little boy, good smell!" like WTF?! 🤣 also the dub sometimes refers to Pingu's little sister Pinga as his brother, and calls his Seal friend Robby, Fur Seal. i think you can find all tapes on KZbin but don't quote me on that. if you have the chance to check out the dub, i can promise you its hilarious.
