    I just came in here to say that the 2000s version of Pingu sucked ass and they could have found someone better than whoever they did to do Pingu’s voice properly.

    Thank you.

      The fact that he has a voice outside of the trumpeting ‘whaap whaap’ sound is sacrilege

        Correct, but he famously says “noot noot”.

            I’m not a native speaker of Horseish either but I know they don’t say “rrribbit”.

              I know a lot of words that are not said in Chinese, however I can’t spell a single word correctly that is.

                So what you’re saying is that it is the spelling of “noot noot” that’s the issue. I get ya.

                  I was being facetious, however how one would spell something in what isn’t their language can be difficult. Look at /r/boneappletea for examples.

                  Once you showed me a better way of describing the sound it makes instant sense. Even though by thinking about it I can almost hear the sound, it’s rather hard finding the correct way to describe it in English (which isn’t my native language)

                    Interesting. English isn’t my native language either, but I do speak and write at a native level due to a few factors, so that might be the difference.
