- A further look into some of the fan myths and game trivia involving the gen-Z childhood classic, Club Penguin. From Lovecraftian sea horrors to alleged morse code Easter eggs about the PSA hidden years in advance, we're giving it a good look today!
Two Club Penguin videos in a row. That's not what I expected, but I made this video in the time window since finishing the Revenge of the Island roast which was about six weeks ago.

I totally remember a roaring/rumbling sound accompanying the squid. It was genuinely scary for me as a kid, yet so interesting to me
I can absolutely confirm the giant squid was really scary for little kids. I got into club penguin when I was around 5 years old, and aqua grabber was instantly one of my favorite minigames. Eventually I got the squid and instantly closed the window, I was horrified. No joke, I exclusively played soda seas for years because of this.
I do vaguely remember some kind of rumbling sound for when the squid appeared, but not a roar. But its not like the screen shake + giant shadow needed anything more to terrify a kindergartener.
Thanks for watching dude I was excited to hear what you think
@@switch1e no problem man, this video was kino, I could listen to club penguin discussion for hours
I totally get ppl who enjoyed the fisheye designs of the buildings but they genuinely made me dizzy so I appreciate that they renovated it
I like how watching these video feels like im in a conversation , like when you talked about the shadow ninja rumor, i was like "YEAH I REMEMBER THAT" and then went trough a lot of memories, honestly i could spend hours talking abt club penguin, i miss it so much
tysm for watching!!!
I recall the sound when the squid appearing not being a roar, but the swooshing of water- the fear factor came from the audio compression making the sound effect incredibly loud.
Oh man the Webkinz killer rumor at the beginning really brought me back to 2008. That legitimately terrified me back then. This video really makes me appreciate and be glad I was born in 2002 as opposed to any later date so I could really have experienced the magic of late 2000’s internet that anyone younger would have unfortunately missed out on. The batshit crazy myths and theories really added to the mystique of internet culture back then and now I think that feeling is long gone nowadays. You have no idea how happy seeing the Built to Spill wallpaper and the Siamese Dream shirt made me.
PFNO is my favorite album of all time, and Siamese Dream is #3 funnily enough
For real. It makes me sad to think that there will probably never be another game like this, one that can be so magical and sincere and full of good memories.
Yeah, and that’s mostly just due to how commercialized and widely available the internet is now. This was before real social media as we know it existed, all we really had was Facebook or Skype which was private for the most part and shared with people outside of who you knew. I think social media, just how the internet is so much more influential in our modern lives (used in almost everything), having access to it so easily and being a kid without that much knowledge made it feel magical. I doubt that any kid would see the internet this way now.
@@Azurethewolf168 but the internet was definitely popular in the 2000s
@@Michael-ww9zt yeah definitely, but not so popular where all intrigue relating to it is kind of destroyed with social media.
the nostalgia from this is overwhelming
One time when I was 7 I got a week long ban week for saying fuck you in chat. Lied to my dad and said I was banned for no reason. There must have been a customer support number for the memberships or something because I remember him sitting me down and calling this number on speaker phone.
The look on his face when the person on the phone said I was temporarily banned for typing the "f obscenity" in the text chat. Lol I just wanted this penguin to leave my igloo. Club penguin might be the first thing I have legitimate nostalgia for.
hahahahah thanks for the story that made me lol
16:22 dude...just do it more. "some lad talking about some old weird internet thing for 2 hours" is like one of the greatest artforms that has been created and is going to go down in history as one of the eras of art like that guy who drew the girl or that dude who died on the toilet
You’re so awesome thank you for that attitude :)
Awesome video! I remember obtaining bait items on Free Penguin too (though I was actually trying to see what they looked like since there were no pictures on the wiki).
Switch1e is the head of the LFA (Lord Foog Association)
Hey switch1e,just wanna say,ive been watching your vids since the island roast,you're one of the best content creators on this website,your videos are well edited,well written and really funny!,can't wait for the ROTI vid,Good work as always!
Thank you for sticking around so long!!! It’s crazy to think that the Island video is going to turn 3 years old in less than a month
Im kinda sad that the club penguin amvs video hasn't reached the same goal as like the previous ones but im still glad that we had this video and still loved this video as much as the previous one, love your content switch1eeeeeeeeeeeeee
yeah. that video was a real dice roll, to be honest. i thought MAYBE it wasn't as niche as i thought, lol. but i think it was. i don't regret making it though, it was really fun to do and it was reflecting on something special to me
omgomgmgomgom i used item adders so often to get all the clothes i always liked but werent in the catalog cause i loved making silly little outfits - not for like beta hats or anything but like cool shoes and hair etc + i got so much money from the ones that gave u money too (i had like a million coins i never played the minigames ever again lmao) and yea it really worked for me?? im glad i remember that
new club penguin vid ALWAYS finna be fire 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for watching!
I don’t think Pixie Hollow (like club penguin for tinker bell fans) is your jam, but if you made one of these videos but focusing on Pixie Hollow I would absolutely watch it.
Giant squid came back to haunt me in citizens of earth
DUuude you have no idea how pissed I was to learn Aunt Arctic was the director. Operation blackout could suck my nuts. Jetpack guy was my favorite. I wanted the director to be Jetpack guy.
I heard about the rumor that it was Rory, which I think would have been really cool
I mean it made perfect sense, the rest just didn’t. As a kid you want what you want to be true, even if it makes no logical sense.
Great video and amazing dedication on the morse code part!
Haha thanks!
13:55 bruh I remember my dad showing me the newspaper article that they were bought by Disney - that’s how old I am lol 🐧
Kyle you’ve outdone yourself again mate bravo 🙌
i have so many memories about the squid. i would replay aqua grabber over and over again until i would see it, and it would scare me each time. it was just so mysterious- it seemed so threatening but there was no explanation for it. it was just there, it appeared rarely, scared the shit out of you and then left. it’s funny how something that seems so small can have such an impact on you when you’re a kid.
also dude i gotta say you could make 700 videos talking about obscure things and trivia from club penguin and i would watch every one of them. your videos scratch a very specific part of my brain (as one shy kid who was obsessed with club penguin to another!)
I'm glad you like them!
I've never played the game, being a Russian kid, but I loved this vid, and it felt weirdly nostalgic :"D
But I think I'll watch literally every upload of your just because I love the way you explain things! Amazing video!!
However, I did play Panfu, which I think was a rip-off, because that game was very similar? I wonder if that was a fever dream x')
P.s. - I do agree that the "old" designs look more funky and unique, the newer ones look much more standart
@@leon_atrewo Yeha I think I played a little bit of Panfu too but not anywhere as much as Club Penguin. Thank you so much for watching! 😃
oh god. I can't believe the dance club morse code thingy isn't real.
the first thing most people would do as they came back in time would be... idk, stop a war? I would go back and ask screenhog to insert morse code into this silly little virtual space
God I love me some good Club Penguin content on this site
Finally, IT RETURNS!!
the card jitsu video that was made by the other creator was amazing too i love deep diving into these theories and learning more about club penguin this was my favorite game and i still play it now. i think the complexity of the game is underrated by many especially if they didnt play it as the parties came out and were released. there is soooo much lore. i forgot about the golden wheel for rockhopper when you win the pin and my old cp account had so many amazing pins and memories i wish i could go back and see as well as backgrounds with meeting mascots. i aas fortunate enough to meet sensei, rockhopper, cadence, rookie. those i remember and if any others its been so long😅 this game has a special place for me and always will.
TYSM for watching!! I really appreciate the thoughtful comment :)
is it just me or did everyone forget about shadow guy and gamma gal 💀
I would never
I got the chills when i found out part 2 droppec
I love your channel
Thank you Femboyfcker88
Very interesting username
10:46 funny that you used the Cheater’s Lament to represent a halo that was used to bait cheaters
glad someone noticed! i thought that was a funny thing to do
FILLER EPISODE LETS GO
Hey there! I just love club penguin, it brings me some of my greatest memories. I think a good topic for some next video could be Garry's family, I mean there were a lot of times when his ancestors would be mentioned in the game and I've even found some theories about them, specially Gariwald
Thanks for the idea!
switch1e blessed us today
btw love ur content
Thank you!
i watched that video u made about operation blackout way back then!
20:36 that's yellow red aqua
NEW SWITCH1E VIDEO
You literally just make videos on IP's I was obsessed with as a kid, of course this channel's for me.
I too remember the giant squid
i think ur talking about oldcp! it was a server where u can hack in items and swear. it was a blast
oh hell yuh new vid
was there ever a secret lair for people who got the best sensei in the dojo? i swear there was
Oh when you do total drama all star. Well there so mush stuff like i heard rumor about Another commonly believed rumor was that Courtney was intended to be a finalist in All-Stars after redeeming herself for her actions in prior seasons. Not only was this never said by the creators, but they explicitly said that they had no intention of redeeming Courtney
And also Sundae Muddy Sundae" wow that is bad epsidoe.
And also If you do The Ridonculous Race fun fact noah and owen is 19.
Sadly i didn’t get this video in my notifications
Made worse because what a good video!
yeah for some reason it said this video wasn't shown to a lot of people
i need more. please
Just plz do a club penguin iceberg already
Where is the comp. Roast of TDROTI?
it's not here
oh god YEAH in the latter days of this game, like 2014 onwards, i would CONSTANTLY see those fake-rare people who had clearly hacked their rare items. (and tbh as someone who'd been genuinely playing since 2006, of course this annoyed me greatly)
i also figured out a way to confirm them as the hackers they were.
see, many of these hackers also had all the pins in the game... including ones that weren't supposed to coexist, most notably the operation blackout pin. that was a pin with like five different levels depending on how far you'd gotten into the thing, and in normal, intended gameplay, this pin would get replaced by the next level pin. it was pretty cool!
and well, these hackers would always have every level of this pin. and you could tell, because all the pins of a player would be displayed in their stamp book. a normal player who was around for this event would have One of these pins, representing how far they got (usually the final level) - meanwhile, the hackers would have all of them. just a whole row of near-identical pins. it was such an obvious tell once you knew about it.
Ermmm....Wondering why you don't have like a million views on this 😹😹😹 This is very good 😢
True
@@switch1e Are you beginning to fall in love with me yet?
Do a review on drawn together
Part 3!
Hii, you mentioned that you still play cp in the end of the video, so could you please say what is the website that you use?? (Some years ago I used to play one that got shut down and until this day it's something that I really miss playing =(( )
I was using NewCP. Thanks for watching! :)
@@switch1e ohh thank you!! =)
Hey, you should join club penguin journey
Wait did they actually use the Tf2 halo's image for the bait item?
No sorry i just used that as a placeholder
First, love your content switch1e
Appreciate it!
I miss club penguin
When the penguins are in the club
makes me want to club some seals- i mean penguins
Pengo army roll out
Will you do part 3?
Probably not. I don't currently have many other ideas and this video really bombed, particularly at release. If I get some more I might though
with 3 frames it could be morse.
if you look at it and the same color stays for 2+ frames it's long, if all the colors on that tile stay only for one frame it's short.

gonna be honest, I see what you mean but it's kind of just assigning random meanings to the whole thing arbitrarily. If you considered the 3 frame tiles to be dots and the 2 frames to be dashes, sure, you could come up with something like that, but at that point we're already pretty far off from anything that resembles morse code and how it is usually delivered. there's no real way to delineate the end of words and letters that way either
It was put down right 😢😢😢
dude i actually seriously need you to answer my comment i’m so high rn and i’m so convinced your shirt is a the smashing pumpkins shirt but i cant tell but i’m so sure please confirm or deny for me
It is :)
*click the video and starts watching, but scroll down cuz blackout video scares me
*accidentaly scrolls up when the director part and see the blackout video and S C R E M
But really only me or when AA looking us was scary?
Anyway i think this video was cool and interesting, like the bait item story cuz mostly never really knew about this while the actual game was ran. But if I knew about this might be tried up sure, cuz why not, and Cadence's hair or Dot Lavender was bretty cool looking stuffs. Or just talk about the shadow card jistu outfit! Or the infinity Gauntlet to- wait this not in the OG game Nvm-
I kinda wish they would have made the lavender and gray color available. Those were really cool
@@switch1e same as well, mostly the lavender, this one just have soo beautiful color honestly in my opinion
11:26 Weren’t you scared of staying on the Migrator in order to not get banned?
Yeah but this was a separate entity from the main game. It was a privately run server with its own login and stuff. My actions didn’t affect the actual Club Penguin at all
This was also a couple of years later
5:28 what did you say gang ⁉️🤨
I said it's COOLER than a naked penguin. this is not controversial. A guy in a ninja outfit is always cooler than a naked guy.
wow
aunt arctic was actually retconned to be the director because of a bunch of existing coincidences - chris hendricks from the og team has a video on it! czcams.com/video/GhU-OgJLgGA/video.htmlsi=fJJUYKiTKAYZXgjB

@@leifthief honestly if i had my way i would have uploaded the ROTI video weeks ago but unfortunately some ppl i'm working with are having trouble finishing their parts
How do you feel about Optimus Prime in fortnite
as Pablo Picasso once said, "It means nothing to me. I have no opinion about it, and I don't care."
I like this video but total drama
The Total Drama video is basically done and has been done for over 6 weeks now; I'm just waiting on the people who I'm collaborating with to finish their parts. The deadline was June 1 but they're kinda flaking on me unfortunately. I made this video in the meantime.
Thanks for watching the video though. A lot of people literally just comment "Total Drama when" or whatever without even watching the video which is kinda harmful to the video's place in the algorithm
@@switch1e okay
