A phrase often spoken by the stop-motion character Pingu, usually as means of communication.
This phrase was later made into a meme in early 2022, when it was used in a 2-D animation made by YouTuber Telepurte (or @telepeturtle on Twitter). The animation consisted of Pingu saying “noot noot!” before a camera zoom-in showing Pingu with an eerie expression.
This meme was further developed when another animator, Pitchi Animation, created a 3-D version of this on YouTube. The video gained a whopping 4.7 million views in two months.
- Person 1: Hey, remember that show we watched as kids with a penguin called Pingu in it? Well, apparently someone made Pingu into a meme.
- Person 2: Oh yeah, the noot noot meme? I saw it on Reddit two days ago.
A small but fierce individual from deep in the mountains. Someone who exclaims ‘noot noot’ when in distress. A strange but curious creature. Loved by all.
