- On Monday morning, 22 August, His Majesty the King of Norway’s Guard paid a very special visit to RZSS Edinburgh Zoo to bestow a unique honour upon our resident king penguin Sir Nils Olav. Already a knight, the most famous king penguin in the world was given the new title of “Brigadier Sir Nils Olav”.

So kind of him to wear a tuxedo.
That speech when he said "AAGGHGYAHHHGYAG" will stay with me forever
haha yep :)
More fluent than Biden
🤣🤣🤣
@@myview5840 better spoken than Dumbold trumpet
@@supernimo739gaming7not the dumbold trumpet 😭😭💀💀
I love how he inspects the troops just like a General.
Well he is an extremely high ranking general. I would follow him in battle
Long shot away from Emperor, but I'll take it too if it were me.
@@VulcanM61 could you pls tell me more about this penguin! After seeing this video, I'm sure he isn't an ordinary penguin! Like who's he and why is he being honoured?
@@Soumyajit_Nag He is the actual Sir Nils Olav III. He is King of Kings. He's more famous than any of us mere peons. Google is your friend.
@Soumyajit Nag - i forget the exact story but it is something like, penguins were given as a gift, many years ago. To honor and celebrate that gift they have this event every year. Since penguins do not live very long they have to keep selecting new penguins from the decendants of the original penguins to honor by promoting them within the armed forces.
HE EVEN MADE A SPEECH
HE HAD A LITERAL SPEECH PREPARED AND DELIVERED FOR THIS EXACT MOMENT
I'M DYING
WHAT A LEGEND
😂😂😂😂
Honestly a penguin would probably be a much better leader than 99% of other world leaders
That's exactly what I was thinking!
Amen to that.
I don't know. I need to know what is his position on whether etherium 2.0 is a security or not.
He's not really a World Leader...just when my hopes were rising.....😢
You’re not very bright I see
Finally a leader we can actually respect
Yea I don’t think I want anymore tangerines with wigs in office
@@friedkake1876 Because sleepy brandon and his lunatic vice president is so much better, right?
@@deloreandmc88 both administrations have their faults right . I don’t like Joe biden or Donald trump but I would rather have joe biden even though a democrat is just a baby Republican with another label. Spewing racist and bigoted ideas to gain power without speaking about any actual policies is where Donald trump lost me. You can criticize someone and support them. It seems like a lot of D trumps cultists don’t seem to pick up on that. Politicians are people and will never be perfect. That’s why it’s on us as supporters of democracy to criticize them and call out their shit! Don’t be a sellout

As a fellow penguin, I must say that speech was extremely inspiring and touching
As a chewing gum, I agree.
What'd he say I don't speak penguin
as a snowflake, i agree

😭🤣🤣
How the guys in line manage to keep a straight face is beyond me
That's what I was thinking lol
I think the 3rd guy in line is fighting it haha
1:15 We may not speak the same language but that was truly inspiring.
For those wondering what's going on: The penguin colony in Edinburgh Zoo was originaly established with eggs given by Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen, most know for being the first person to reach the South Pole. In honour of his memory the Norwegian Royal Guard descided to adopt one of the penguins as the company's mascot, and later, in the 1960s, they began the tradition of promoting him up a rank every time the Royal Guards attended the military festival in Edinburgh. Since penguins don't live that long his name and rank is inherited by his oldest child, and after many years and many visits Nils Olav finally became a knight and general. It's just a fun teambuildng tradition for the company
Obrigada pela explicação.
Thank you for telling the story of how this came to be.
Wow
It’s so beautiful
Nice
@@anjanagunnu284 Don't cry please
Even the King of Norway shivers when he sees the *Emperor* of Norway.
Since it’s hereditarily passed down and he gets promoted whenever they need with the zoo I suppose eventually he will literally overtake the king himself and actually become emperor of Norway
The mandate of the king comes from the Penguin race
He is a Kings Penguin in the Norwegian King's Guard he serves the King of Norway loyalty with honour and courage.
It´s not the emperor of Norway, cause Norway it´s a crown, it´s all Scandinavian Emperor. XD
@@joxemik You make me un poko loko. Un pokititico loko.
Hail Sir Nils Olav! This humble penguin shows that despite being raised by a white collar penguin family from the cold dark south pole, miracles do happen if you believe in yourself.
In his short but powerful speech he expressed deep gratitude towards the king penguin and fellow guard mates.
Adding that this was possible because due to perserverance, a can-do attitude, daily excersise (powerwalk and swimming), good habits, seafood diet, and having goals in life.
😂😂👍👏👏
;D)))
This is adorable. The King of Norway has a good sense of humour! The epaulot...and inspection of the guards...precious!
I give him a hug,,,, cute😊😊
He Made The Nils Olav Be The Colonel of the Norwegian Guard
As someone who has been in Army for a while now - I am GENUINELY shocked at how much this little penguin represents EXACTLY the mannerisms of how a high ranking official inspects the troop LOL from standing and conversing and taking the time LOL
I never knew that military officers often tilt their heads back 90 degrees and start squawking
I thought that was just in the movies
@@koraegiOh it’s true! I visited a base with my JROTC back in high school. The guy’s mouth unhinged like a snake as he screamed at the sky.
i swear its like the penguin knows. it has a genetic memory of him and his ancestors earning military ranks.
@@King.-Arthur "The guy’s mouth unhinged like a snake as he screamed at the sky." - Lmao you sir have a way with words 😂💯
@@koraegi Yeah, and they swallow fish whole too.
Man, I wanted to see this damn penguin salute so badly.
Lol me too
It did, they had to edit it out becasue too many people were overcome by their emotions upon viewing it.
There's only one salute gesture he could make and it'll make everyone upset.
@@TheJupiteL i love this
Me too 😂😂
As a linux user I keep coming back to this symbolic speech of my people
Have to love how the penguin turns around to make sure everyone is doing their duties. 🐧

I like how people think the penguin achieved something yet those people are crackheads serving tiny animals. 😂😂 When you've smoked 5 joints in 1 minute and you see a penguin
@@-_-_-_8441 wtf u even saying ?! 😂😂
Hardly. The Penguin did nothing, some King just decided to promote it to Brigadier. That's not an accomplishment in the same way winning the lottery is not an active accomplishment, but a stroke of luck.
@@DOKZAONE the person below you described it well. Someone chose a penguin (that person was obviously on a high amount of meth) if I win the lotto it isn't an achievement
Omg the nonstop clicking of cameras to the little fella ACTUALLY inspecting the troops, to his speech on the commendation ❤
You could say that he had a knightly persona, a royal gravitas to his promotion. Truly an aquatic bird of the highest caliber.
Certainly, the most noble of the bunch. NEVER takes off his uniform. And saves water by washing and bathing at the same time.
What's difference between washing & bathing?

Imma about to end this man's whole career
Brigadier Sir Nils Olav, what a smart turn out! You look and feel every bit a Brigadier. Truly amazing and funny too.❤❤
In Switzerland we had a "Brigadier" (2 end highest after genaral) who was a Cat. Named "Brigadier Broccoli".
He had legit all Papers a batch rank everything, tecnically seen he was a legit person to witch we had to salute.
Sadly he died a few years ago...
So now I have to live with the fact that this penguin has accomplished more in life than me.
Don't worry chap, more than most people in the world. Most of us haven't, or that's just wishful thinking on my part. Also, you have to remember, it's hereditary - the rank - so it's like members of the nobility. It's not like he actually earned it.
But millions of other penguins did not, so all is good.
Well, I prefer to compare myself to the Herzog's documentary depressive penguin, and even then, he accomplished more than me
Same
He inherited the title
THIS is EXACTLY what the internet is for.
Why not ? Real abit about my country sir
Eggxactly

Congratulations on your well deserved promotion, Sir Olav! -From your cousin P.N. Gwynne
May Brigadier Nils Olav live long and prosper!
Imagine hearing that you’re to participate in a ceremony where you get to meet your colonel-in-chief, knighted by the King of Norway himself. You get your dress uniform, you inspect it to make sure it’s clean, you check your rifle to make sure it isn’t going to disappoint your new superior officer. You line up, shoulder to shoulder with the men on either side of you, looking for the colonel.....
*And then a god damn penguin walks down the aisle*
That's fucking funny
He is trying his best ok
First the Emu Wars, now this? The birds really are taking over.
I would bust out laughing tbh
Well it wears a suit and gold tie everyday so it has my respect.
I love how the whole situation is so serious about a penguin getting a job raise
Emperor Penguin he deserves love respect as he's a president Penguin he was fed president jelly he got special igloo he didn't eat for 2 hours
I think he's a king penguin.
❤
@@Blokewood3 Yeah Sir Nils Olav is a king penguin. Emperors tend to be a lot bigger (hence their name) and weigh more which gives them a rounder shape compared to Kings.
Despite being a clever distinction it still is a pain for penguin enthusiasts when trying to identify them 😅
He is a _knight_ you ignorant peasant!
I love this..in a very sad world it's great to see some humour still exists...go major general (I'd vote for you)😅
Imagine surviving a war to protect the freedom of your country just to be ranked lower than a penguin
he's earned it
Good boi deserves it.
Bombing poor people vs walking among a species known for hunting animals to extinction - Mr Olav here is literally braver than the troops.
@@Arormomanon
Well, both are equal in terms of bravery.
@@Arormomanon Hope you didn't mean that seriously.
Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need
I thought it was super cute when the Brigadier Penguin thought that the guy wanted to give him a hug !
Not the hero because it's half black? You're racist

Thats the president of Antarctica he went there to talk about Global Warming and how humans killed his family.
Seems legit
Antarctica is safe from global warming it's artic that we are worried about
Antarctica doesn’t have a President, it’s not a nation. Antarctica is divided between multiple nations with a treaty that no military bases may be present. Each nation that has a portion of Antarctica has representatives in a council to determine law and usage of the continent as a whole.
Zach Wagoner r/woosh
The only military forces near Antarctica is the US Coast Guard and the British Coast Guard; they use ice cutters to break large icebergs so ships can get through safely. They also conduct search and rescue missions if a science crew is hurt or lost.
Those guards are probably thinking "what the fuck am I doing with my life"
"Take this job and shove it" seems to cover it.
Anyone got a good recipe for BBQ penguin?
I'm pretty sure they're really thinking is "Man our job is easy and safe! While Americans are fighting bullshit wars in the middle east and pissing off the rest of the world, all the Norwegian army does is salute our king..........and occasionally a cute penguin in a Scottish zoo."
There are very few wars after WW2 where Norway did not fight alongside the US you know.... you might want to read up on your rmilitary history.
