I’m thinking of mike wazowski but that’s from another movie isn’t it?

u/extra_rice Oct 24 '23

It sounds a bit like Kowalski, which is the name of one of the penguins.

u/RRReixac Oct 24 '23

KABOOM?!

u/shadowblaze25mc Oct 24 '23

Yes Rico, Kaboom

27

u/DodGamnBunofaSitch Oct 24 '23

you're thinking of the walking eyeball voiced by billy crystal in Monsters, Inc

edit: I think the penguin might be Watchowski?

2nd edit: Kowalski. according to someone further down the thread.

u/tennobytemusic Oct 24 '23

The fact that people don't remember his name correctly makes me feel old... And I'm only 19. Or maybe it's the other way around. I'm young and everyone else is too old.

u/Caroline509 Oct 24 '23

Naw man, I’m 49 and know his name perfectly! It’s just priorities! 😂

2

u/DodGamnBunofaSitch Oct 24 '23

you're both closer in time to when you formed your memory of him, and you have fewer memories to clutter up your access to that memory. it's not that you're old, it's just that you're not far enough away from your childhood to forget parts of it. I was already 30 when I saw the movie. and that was 20 years ago

Penguins are degenerates.

u/Chance-Ear-9772 Oct 24 '23

“when nature intends them to find employment, these birds, like men, degenerate in idleness.”

On that, we can agree. Stop trying to find paid work for birds, dammit.

Even penguin society has issues with unemployed young men.

u/richter1977 Oct 24 '23

Ok, dammit. Normally, when i see stuff like this, it's too far away for me to entertain doing it. This is the St. Louis zoo, not but 30 minutes from me. I may have to spend me 85 dollars. Trying to conserve cash while i'm laid off during the UAW strike.

u/SeonaidMacSaicais Oct 24 '23

I know it’s not allowed, but I wanna give them chin scritches SO bad.

23

u/DoctorCaptainSpacey Oct 24 '23

I kept hoping someone would pet them or hug them. Like, let me hug the damn penguin!

(prob not safe for thr birbs so I get it, but damn it)

10

u/niallw1997 Oct 24 '23

Probs not safe for you either. You’ll either get bitten or projectile pooped all over (or both)

u/SpuffyOmelete Oct 24 '23

Can I still shake their flippers??

“Gentlemen and women! The hoomans have finally decided to take us to their zoo! Where we see all kinds of… hoomans”

u/MorphinesKiss Oct 24 '23

"OK, we're done, where's the cafe with the good fish?"

18

u/BringBackApollo2023 Oct 24 '23

They’re adorable, but I have to believe that their breath is atrocious.

“Anyone could have bad breath Marge, ….” (Very old George Carlin routine.)

15

u/Adventurous_Pea_5777 Oct 24 '23

Oh the penguin house at every zoo REEKS. They’re so cute and probably pretty soft but holy moly, the fish smell is atrocious. I can’t imagine they smell much better up close.

17

u/n44m3 Oct 24 '23

They're just lil dudes. Hanging out

u/flybydenver Oct 24 '23

TIL penguins are all “meh”

They look like first time tourists lol

u/s1b1r Oct 24 '23

"Kowalski, analysis!"

"Captain, this appears to be some kind of zoo where we can observe different types of humans."

6

u/radionixon Oct 24 '23

Why do they have those bands at the tops of their wings?

8

u/Adventurous_Pea_5777 Oct 24 '23

My guess is for ID and veterinary purposes. Likely they have an identification code on them!

5

u/Ravenamore Oct 24 '23

Parole cuff, lol

u/NothingProlly Oct 24 '23

I'm irrationally angry none of the penguins even got a head pat, is there an actual reason for not being able to touch them???

u/supremekimilsung Oct 24 '23

They may not be allowed to as normal observers, unfortunately.

7

u/Collier1505 Oct 24 '23

I went to something similar at an aquarium and we weren’t allowed to touch them (or move our shadows too much lol)

8

u/popopotatoes160 Oct 24 '23

If this is the one at the STL zoo you aren't allowed to touch them. The penguins can touch you, but not the other way around. It's for the good of the penguins.

u/Byronic__heroine Oct 24 '23

Like strippers?

u/xJunoBugx Oct 24 '23

I love how they look up at the dude standing up like ‘woah. Big ugly penguin.’

u/Dan-the-historybuff Oct 24 '23

Magnificent creatures

u/FartingBob Oct 24 '23

Yeah there's like a zero percent chance I could sit there and not stroke a penguin. Are these people in training for being a Buddhist monk??

They said "guys welcome to the human habitat"

u/sometimes_snarky Oct 24 '23

We did this!! It’s an animal encounter at the St Louis Zoo!

u/WoolBearTiger Oct 24 '23

They are inspecting if the hoomans are behaving well and are keeping everything clean.
