I have never seen such a gangsta move in my life
"These boys...they's under my protection."
Everybody's gangsta till the deli comes around
They are among the most weird animals ever. Penguins look so foolish and adorable and all that but when they get going you can tell they're capable of doing some serious damage.
@@heyheyheyheyheyhey76 Penguin bites me. Phil Swift: *That's a lot of damage* !
haahahhahahahahaha
It's so weird watching a bird try to eat a bird bigger than itself only to be scared away by a bird smaller than itself.
❤️
its weird and it's funny that small ones are sometimes the braver ones and they die first in horror movies 😂
You say this, but we eat cows and run from mice
AlphaQ Well And insects
Sometimes it's not about the size
These Penguins are going to have a story to tell their grandkids.
“Back in my day-“
Grandchicks. LOL.
0:15 look at the Adelie in the background. He literally ran all the way to the rescue lol And this video is still adorable in 2024 ❤
It's so cute for no reason 🤣
@@DazzlingPotatoes it’s cute because penguins are automatically cute and the adelie totally saved the day like a hero :3
Oh boi he comin!
i love it soo much
this is a sick comment
Penguins: _we weren’t expecting special forces_
Adelie penguin: *THATS THE POINT SARGENT*
For those of you who don't know, you have to play the campaign for Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017) to understand
Lmao, that's messed up 🤣
@@angelpadilla2614 or just watch the trailer
Or that too
"Don't worry 'lil cusins, I got you." "...we're bigger then you." "only in size, not in raw power."
HAHAHAHHA. this comment made my day
@@meinyan-neko28 Happy to brighten you're day.
So true!!!jajajaj
🙌❤️
I imagine those big emperor chicks having cute baby voices 😅😭
I am honestly amazed the chicks knew how to form a circle to protect one another. That one chick standing tall with its wings outspread to protect its friends is incredible
Some friends will kick you when youre down.
He said they're almost a metre tall which is close to adult size, so these are probably relatively mature chicks. Notice how they absolutely dwarf the adult adelie penguin.
1:04 i love how the normal penguin is doing all the defending even tho they have a absolute unit in the back
Penguin chicks: "we weren't expecting special forces sir."
That's the point Sergeant.
😅🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🧡

1:26 I love how the baby Emperors shake their heads like “that’s right buddy, get away” 😂
they’re like “the cavalry is here”
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this video over the years. It remains one of my favorites.
same!!
Same. David Tennant’s accent is so calming, the penguins are adorable and brave, the Adelie is an unexpected treat every time. Top tier video.
Me too! I have it saved on my phone homescreen for moral

LMAO went through this experience actually. My little bro was 6"6 in high school freshman year so of course little short fuckbois decided to mess with him.. I'm 6"1 and was a senior at the time... I whooped that sophomores ass haha nobody messed with my brother since
@@sea_triscuit7980 Not only does no one care but size is overrated in the states you dig.. All it takes is one good hit never forget. And that penguin would chop your legs to make you his height. Roffl!
@@erikdominguez923 I mean, an axe to the legs makes everyone equal height, or a bullet down the hallway if you're in America.
Penguins should be recognized as citizens of Antarctica.
yes
chiron this comment is gold jajajajaja
I second that
They need to pay taxes!!
@Bill Holder Then some of them can identify as geese.
The way they whistle trying to be scary will always be adorable;penguins are "cotton candy animals"
1:04 I love how the others are “can we go now?” And the leader lifts its arm up like “no, not yet”
u know Adelie is serious when he naruto runs to save his fellas
THELAST PATTY acting like a bodyguard
😂😂😂
You made my day
Did you mean 'save his peeps?'

Lmao🤣🤣🤣
The last line should be: “not anymore.”
Have you seen one 'no' You are welcome
The last like could be “I took the long way”, “not anymore”, “there were a few minutes ago”, this has so many possibilities damn
He's here Big Bobb is here for rescue. Bob : Oh not on my day off.
I was searching for this comment
You can see the saviour penguin in the background at 0:15. He probably thought “I’ll give this camera crew a show” and stopped to help. Awesome video 👍
The biggest chick in the back looks so cute and clueless. He’s a big baby.
It looks like a big elementary schooler among shorter high schoolers 😂 bigger but innocent and clueless
They are all too cute!
@@fitriaahsani1286 Awww. So you've met my younger, not little, brother, Patrick? :)
Big boned
He is providing rear guard support... like how the Legion of the Damned came out of nowhere right when the Ultramarines and Harlequins were about to be overwhelmed by the Chaos forces.
Petrel: - exists - Adélie: "and i took that personally."
Nice! 😎
😂
Haha, MJ reference.
He learnt that from Michael Jordan
Lol.
The penguin children took up a circular defense. Adelie saw from afar that the children were in danger and ran to save them. As soon as the Petrel saw the adult Adele, he grimaced and ran away.
途中から登場するアデリーペンギン、めっちゃかっこいい💖
no one's going to mention the brave chick who stood tall to protect the others?
K.M. JOKER oh yes I was thinking the same thing.
That's the brave one I love!
I noticed that too
It was mentioned,watch it again and pay attention this time!
Did you not watch it? 0:58
Big guys in front and back, little ones in the middle. Then the feisty shortie comes to the rescue. Legend.
True gangter!😏
Everybody Gangsta till the feisty Shortie walks in.

Dude can u even imagine how much proud and happy that cameraman must be feeling to witness this moment 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️😘🧿

🤣😂😅
C'était donc à ça que ça me faisait penser ! La marque de glace d'intermarché ! XD
He is that cousin claiming the French side of da hood.
i laughed out loud for like 5 minutes at your comment
It sounds more like a name to me.
i didnt know these birds were so smart! truly amazing
アデリーペンギンカッコ良すぎる
The chick who stood out in front with his wings outstretched is a born leader.
@@Izannaziza Really? He doesn't appear to be on a quest to conquer sovereign nations hoping to achieve Arayan dominance, looks like he's attempting to protect his fellow juvenile penguins. Looks more reactive than proactive. More like a Gandhi.
He was just there like, "touch them and I'll kick your small, feathery ass"
It can be a female chik too
That one was like, "Stand back. I'll handle this." Haha
That chick was a true Chad. They will grow to be a Legendary figure among The Emperor Penguins.
I love how the Adelie protects these giant chicks that aren't even his own species. What a hero.
Just goes to show how strong the instincts to protect and defend can be
Bros before getting eaten by brids
Yeah
Spoiler alert!
People usually read comments after watching
this will always be one of my favorite videos on the internet, everything is just so cute, the way they all protect the little penguin, it looks like an animated movie scene!!
A little person saves a group of children from a predator
I could just imagine the Adélie with a thick Scottish accent screaming “RIGHT YA WEE SH*T, YA BETTER STOP MESSING WITH MAH COUSIN ALAN’S KIDS OR I’LL TAKE THESE FLIPPERS AND SLAP THE SHITE OUTTA YA WITH EM”
Read it on arthurs voice from peaky blinder
@@mgtowphilippines8164 same
PERFECT
Adélie there are children here!
I read that in Merida's voice
Not all heroes wear a cape .. because they look sharper in a tux.
then the predator bird his/her kids could died this day because there is no food , there is no heroes in places of hunger
@@omarsameh5007 might as well go on to complain about how many fish will die in the future because this one penguin lives on. What about, if those predator "kids" do starve, how many animals are saved by them dying? Heroes once again! SMH
@@ModeratelyAmused thats what you try to deceive yourself about , and i would be happy if fish died if it will feed other young fishes , my point is there is no good or bad in nature , and how many will die because they live too ? , once african cows start rising and get saved they will annihilate grass and cause all of them to die , but better natural balance that lions eat them to lower thier numbers , so don't try to be a d*ck please and talk about heroism in their environment that is all about death
@@michaelroche6651 I'm sure someone can come up with better wording. Originally I was putting, "not all heroes wear a cape, this one prefers a tux." Started to tail off with James Bond references and realized I was trying too hard. lol
omar sameh You might be in the wrong comment section. This is a video only posted because it was cute, and this comment was posted because it was funny. We all understand the circle of life here, and how one animal living means another dying, but situations like this are just fun to watch.
Wtf look at the pecs at 1:06 that penguin's swole af bro 😳 He's like, "stay back homies" i got this 😤
Whenever I’m feeling down I come back to watch this video. It always brings me joy, and it’s narrated by David Tennant to too it all off
Starling murmurations are incredibly uplifting too.
Everybody Gangsta until uncle Adelie shows up.
Stelios Gkelis did you add a Joe Pesci voice from good fellows to the Adair?
You mean Ramone
Stelios Gkelis had to call n they uncle lol
Kudos to Uncles
Please tell in few words - who is Adelie?
Happy feet is 100% accurate. *Childhood restored*

1:19
Let's not forget the one larger chick that put himself between the Petrel and the others; he was willing to sacrifice himself for them; but thank goodness the Emperor Penguin saved the day 💛 Nature can be quite special sometimes 💛
I must have watched this above 25 times today!! I love it so much. I also come here for the comments which lift my spirits on a hard day!
that penguin is literally smaller than the chicks themselves, and yet still manages to contain enough feistiness to scare away a petrel
