This is what happens when you live in an eight floor walkup and a 15 minute hop down. *"Haven't Hooman landlords heard of an elevator? How 'bout an escalator?"
Fun penguin fact: southern hemisphere penguins are named after the true penguin, what we now call the Great Auk (Pinguinus impennis). Even though they are as related as they are to hummingbirds. We just called them penguins, because they looked like northern hemisphere penguins - which of course we hunted to extinction in the mid 1800s.
That's what the 90s FPS protagonist bit in the title is about. Old school Doom sound effect when you take fall damage (might not be Doom specifically but I do recognise the sound from something)
Old person here. There are 3 sounds, all of them are from Doom 1 and 2. The bassy 'UNF' is the sound when pressing 'open' on something that doesn't open, like a wall or locked door. The more human grunt is the sound when Doomguy takes damage. The third punchy sound effect is exactly that- When you punch something.

Ok. Close your eyes and listen, and imagine.

You try going downstairs when your knees are inside your torso
SithElephant
I mean, that can happen if you go down stairs wrong.

Have I ever seen penguins going downstairs? Yes. Would I want to see it again? Also yes...
TheOtherJeffLebowski
Who are the monsters pretending to care for these penguins. Let’s overthrow them and build a slide!!!
SwissScars
They should make the buttons for the lift more penguin friendly.

Is that sound from Wolfenstein 3D? When you dry to open a secret room.

I know it's at the very least the doom sound trying to open secret doors, wolf 3d quite possibly as well it's been too long

It seems that the drop is like one foot. We can jump down to it.

CORE MEMORY UNLOCKED. I watched this thing for probably literal hours when it would be on display at mall kiosks.
LordoftheLulz
I just got this for Christmas. I'm 33. It made me very happy.
PoisonHugs
Dang I had this toy back in 80’s. Damn I’m old and kids these days have no idea how satisfying and soothing this toy was
akelamishari
The sound of the loud mechanical stairs, the metal wheels going down the plastic road! Hypnotic

I was lied to. There was no fun here.

The title makes no sense.

It does if you realize those grunt sounds are from Doom

I do this too when I want to impress the other penguins

Do they really make that sound or is that just added to make it funnier?
AtomicJesus
I'm pretty sure it's a sound effect from Doom
BeardedWonder82
I’m guessing it’s added in

Either doom or quake1 or both
Sangueffusor
Doom, Heretic, Quake, Hacx, Hexen

Swear I could hear Duke in there too, and I'm pretty sure Wolf 3D

ImGoingToGoFallAsleepOnABench
There's also a "landing" voice clip from Quake in there that plays occasionally.
SunBrolem
I took a listen again and you're right, what I mistook for the doomguy damage sound is in fact the quake landing sound.
