So I recently watched the most infamous episode of the famous kids tv series Pingu which was a series I used to watch as a young child growing up during the early to mid 2000's.
To simply call it infamous is an understatement because the episode was pulled from the air in several countries including the United Kingdom and The unites states of America.
There are many reasons why this episode is so infamous for scaring young kids but also me who is 19 years old and used to things like horror movies and I am glad I did not see this episode growing up.
1. The general tone of the episode is very different compared to the rest of the show which has a more carefree and fun loving nature versus this episode where bizzare and horrifying things seem to come from absolutely nowhere.
2. The music in this episode is just creepy and unnerving because it really makes it feel like there is something seriously wrong and messed up.
3. The events that happen in this episode is what really get to me because first the igloo flies away which is just creepy on it's own because there is no explanation as to why it happens , then the bed starts to live it's own life which is also creepy for the same above reasons.
4. That freaking Walrus !!!
Don't even get me started on why this thing is the literal stuff of children's nightmares .
The laughter he makes is just terrifying
because it sounds like the laughter of a deranged serial killer.
Then there is the general appearance of this character which was on it's own enough to cause the episode to get banned from airing on tv
and I am glad they did because just look at it with those black soulless eyes and that moustache and just look at those human teeth because they are the stuff of nightmares.
In all honesty watching that episode was
more like watching a horror film than a friendly tv series intended for kids and I have seen horror movies that failed to scare me as much as this episode.
What is your opinion on this episode compared to then and do you still find this episode just as creepy as when you were a child?

I remember this episode! I thought it was hilarious as a child and it just made me laugh now too. The walrus is so funny.
