Today let's dive into the world of Club Penguin- from the history of the game to all of the warm, fuzzy nostalgia, to the site's dramatic fall from grace and all of the drama that ensued. The site has a rather dark history, so let's take a look at the rise and fall of our beloved ol' Club Penguin.

    i remember desperately trying to date people in the pizzeria and being so utterly distraught with the fact that 4 people broke up with me within 3 minutes that i sobbed and wrote a rap about it
  • I remember one of the last times I was on Club Penguin and went to the pizza parlor, I witnessed two penguins on a “date” when the guy’s “wife” barged in and we witnessed a penguin divorce. Perfection.

    "Frosty how old are you" "Old enough to disown you" What an amazing interaction
  • @RankStankulon
    I remember I was "dating" everybody on my friends list and they'd frequently walk in on me in my igloo with my penguin side hoes. I would watch them fight and then they'd leave me and I'd go straight back to the pizza parlour to put some new penguins in the rotation 😭
  • @imanrasheed4126
    Still scarred by my first experience of classism when my club penguin boyfriend left me for another penguin because she was member and was totally dripped out 😕
  • club penguin is so nostalgic for me, i know this sounds very "and everyone clapped", but someone talked about club penguin shutting down in class and half the class was legitimately distraught.
  • Back in like 2007 a lot of brazilian players would go to some place in Club Penguin, changing the penguin's color to one of the brazilian flag's colors (blue, green and yellow), sit down there and try to form the Brazilian flag with the penguins. Then we'd start saying "WE WANT A BRAZILIAN SERVER" (because back then the game was divided in region servers like Australia, Canada etc.) Good times. So sad that moments like these will be lost in time, like tears in the rain...
  • Going this whole video without mentioning the secret agent missions feels like a shot to the heart
  • I remember the “pookie” adoption thing always being super violent. When they first entered the pet shop, a lot of pookies would do something like gets thrown into the shop from a moving car, rolls down the steps and stuff like that. If you had a tragic backstory, like being kept in a cage and starved and everything, more people would be “sympathetic “ and adopt you, apparently
  • @reichr
    the fact the developers actually let the players tip the iceberg and reveal the secret in Club Penguin's last moments touches me.

    When I was a kid I not only had a Club Penguin subscription, I had a subscription to the official magazine. The owner of my local corner shop made sure that a copy of the magazine would be at her shop every month for me to buy; she was a really sweet Indian lady but she unfortunately faced racial abuse from staff over the phone when she called about an issue that she hadn't received. I always felt really bad about that. I'll always be grateful for her though and I still have some items that came with the magazine (puffle badges and a key chain).

    My 7-year-old aspiring filmmaker self was absolutely the “really intense director barking orders”. I really didn’t understand why nobody followed my instructions, I was wearing the directors cap AND holding a megaphone!
  • @user-gp5yz5yz4x
    No matter how many times I hear it, "why not build our empire by conquering weaker cpps first" never ceases to make me laugh.
  • @KazRowe
    God I remember taking the club penguin 'secret agent' thing VERY seriously hahaha. I was so dedicated to solving all of the missions and yes the jet pack and mine cart games were supreme. I miss this game so much. Good times.
  • “The underground swimming pool was the best hidden room” THAT IS SO TRUE! I’ve played on Club Penguin since 2009 and the most people I saw in there were three. And that was because the Halloween party turned the water into slime
  • When I was little I wrote a whole essay about the Club Penguin Ninjas and sent it to the customer service email. Someone responded and they were so excited and amazed at my dedicated and said they would show it to all their coworkers. The essay detailed all the "proof" and legends that had become popular on the internet (this was when the dojo was only a dojo - no official ninjas anywhere). I've tried to track down the essay, but the email I used to have is long deleted and who knows what computer I used to write it. It lives on in my memory. I hope I made someone's day by sending it along to the employees.
  • @bangles7437
    rip to all the puffles that haven't been fed in 10 years
  • i used to rp as a pookie and then when i went to someones igloo, if they were mean to the other pookies, i'd put on my penguin csi outfit (whatever thats called) and "arrest" them for child neglect

    Haven't seen one comment shouting out the man himself: Rockhopper. Looking through the telescope and seeing his ship get closer each day, to when he would port and me and my friends would be on the phone going onto different servers to find him and get the special background. Those were amazing times.
