The Best of Old Club Penguin Myths 

Hey, if you guys liked this video, feel free to watch my video about Club Penguin Music Videos people used to make! I'm very proud of it :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H6INxiFKkZU.html

It really sucked that Club Penguin had to end, but my mind was blown when they finally made tipping the iceberg possible

That tipping the iceberg at the death of Clubpenguin was such a nice touch from the devs, when I heard they were doing it I logged in for the first time in about 7 or 8 years just to be a part of the action. Really good video man.

I used to be obsessed with trying to go to Rockhopper island, trying to hack the mascots, and trying to get in that secret underwater room

I've got a, personal fan theory / myth with absolutely no evidence to back it up. When I was a child I had a friend who often lied, and he claimed to have an email address to send ideas and suggestions to Club Penguin Developers. I didn't believe him but his mother confirmed it and gave me the address. So I wrote an email (using an email address that no longer exists) with a few ideas, and actually got a response. One of the suggestions I had made was for a storage room or warehouse filled with cardboard boxes and all of the party supplies from past events. Like little Easter Eggs - because that stuff would have to go somewhere after the party, right? I'd say probably within a year of sending that email, the Box Dimension was created - enterable through a portal in a box, filled with cardboard boxes. After a Plant Party, it was filled with plants. I was so excited as a kid that my suggestion wound up making it into the game, even if it was modified slightly.

Oh man, this was all a blast from the past, I was super duper into club penguin as a wee rat, and just seeing all these theores again gave me a rush of nostalgia like no other!

So I started playing club penguin from summer of 2006 until around 2011. I vividly remember 3 giant reasons why club penguin myths got so popular and basically the source that started the hypetrain. (Warning! This is also a history post on the game back in 2006-2007 from my viewpoint. Its long but i felt like I needed to share it) 1. Pins: Pins came out around 5-6 months before i started playing but i could instantly tell the coolest and most well known players had all the pins that came out earlier in the year. These players werent famous but they could get a party started in any area that they joined. I know that me and thousands of other players initially got addicted to the game because of the urge to collect everything and be cool like them. The devs also got rid of 60-70% of clothes and collectibles after each update back then so you would have to always be playing to keep up. 2. Rockhopper: The day that Rockhopper first came to club penguin was the day when it collectively clicked in our minds of how amazing it is to be a famous penguin (basically being an e-celeb back in 2006). Ill still never forget faking being sick just to celebrate with everyone for 2 days in a row because of his arrival. His arrival also created the first major hints at club penguin myths being developed by players, but it was basically either ignored or super boring since some random kid just made it up to prank people... That was until a few things all happened at the same time. 3. The devs themselves got more players interested in myths by using the club penguin newspaper + youtube + club penguin fame: The thing that really catapulted club penguin myths into being a big mainstream-topic on most servers all came from the club penguin times/the newspaper. Slowly over time players would notice the devs dropping hints in the newspaper to let people know about new features coming to the game to get players excited. This created a large group of players that would constantly spread rumors of hidden information & clickable items buried deep in the newspapers pages. Not only this but players could also submit their own creative jokes & drawings that would be put into the newspaper every week. Well eventually more people would listen to these rumors and read the newspapers all the way to the end and try to find all the hidden information and items. What ended up happening is they would also start noticing the people that got their penguin names put on the last few pages, these players would became instantly semi-famous for a week. This was such a giant deal immediately after halloween 2006 that it nearly became impossible to get your creative work submissions noticed by the the devs. The people that did get their works put on the newspaper got addicted to being semi-famous for a week and started doing everything they could to keep up that feeling for as long as possible, then youtube club penguin videos hit the community. Sometime around the Christmas event of that year, I remember club penguin youtubers instantly becoming massive and well-known by all after they made their own videos. This sparked the craze of making club penguin guides, making club penguin tour videos of events, showing people how to make igloo parties, club penguin music videos, etc~>. This fame was so new and it was 10x crazier then what previously "cool/well known" players dealt with at the start of the year. Basically it got to the point where famous youtuber penguins would enter a medium sized server and then it would instantly become full and no one could enter in the area that they went into. But the biggest videos that became a giant trend around early-mid 2007 was the myth videos. The first people that started doing it were pulling in 50-100k views per video in it's first month of being published which was pretty much impossible for 99% of youtube game videos back then. Due to all of this the club penguin myths instantly became a staple in the game and the devs continued to fan the flames for years even after i stopped playing. So to sum all of this up, the way the game was designed back in 2006 and the culture it created basically jump-started the entire genre of club penguin myths. Im also so glad you made this video because it reminded me of some of the best gaming memories of my entire life. Thank you.

Even as someone who never really played CP as a kid, I remember these rumors making waves around the internet regardless. It’s definitely cool that in a way Club Penguin kept the spirit of old-school playground rumors alive in that regard, especially in the information age

That message after u tip the iceberg always gives me chills. Idk. It just hits me in the feels cause I adored this game

What a great retrospective. The "puffle inflation" problem specially resonated across time with my 10 yo self lol. Great video!

Club Penguin was one of the games that was a life changer for me growing up, especially when I was very little (I don’t even know how I discovered it, but it was during a time where I really needed positive interactions). I also spent most of my time on RU-vid around that age just watching Club Penguin videos and all of the myths always stuck to me. The hype when rainbow and gold puffles were released was insane, I’ll never forget those days

CP was my favorite game ever. I cried for like 5 straight nights after it shut down.

club penguin was a massive part of my childhood and made me who i am today. i'll never forget it ever.

Club Penguin started to go downhill in 2014 in my opinion. That's when they really started to run out of ideas and milk past ones. It is sad that it shut down but it was destined for a long time. 2012 was my favorite year for Club Penguin and it will always be the most nostalgic to me. I'll never forget it.

This was a nostalgia trip. I also didn't know about the card jitsu shadow debacle, kind of crazy how often ninjas were the source of rumors. I loved the initial leadup to the original card jitsu

I think my favorite parts of club penguin were the parties. I still remember playing through the medieval party and completing the super cool boss fights with dragons and hydras. The prehistoric party was also super memorable to me since the island's look was changed so much.

I remember watching the "gotta have a wingman" music vid and being both shocked and hyped at seeing the rainbow puffy at the end of the vid

the halloween version of the iceberg was my all time favorite room (where it’s changed to a giant pumpkin and jack hammering it would take it through different stages until it had become a fully carved jack o lantern)

When I was a kid playing club penguin, I never had membership, so of course looking up "club penguin free membership" or "club penguin cheats" was something I would do in hopes of experiencing the whole game. I remember finding this website that had a few tips and tricks I already knew like codes you could claim or some hidden stuff, but also in the same article there was an entry saying that your account becomes member if you have 1 million coins or more. Little young me believed it because if it's on the internet, then it must be true, so I grinded the pizza or the coffee bag minigame for hours, and I believe I literally got to 130k before losing interest.

Nothing is better than watching sw1che at night time very chill vibe

I was such a massive Club Penguin fan back in the day and it's really neat to see a great recap of all of the myths and such from my childhood! I don't believe I ever tried any of them, but I'm similarly obsessed with playground rumours and hacks so I'd absolutely recommend this video to anyone else who is. Amazing work!

My younger brother and I had our og penguins from 2007 right up to the very last day of the game and got the 10 year jackets. It was a wild ride to have seen the game change over the years and was nice when we could hang out on it for the nostalgia. Afterwards we played on CP Rewritten for a bit along with our fiances but alas even that has come to an end. Will always miss ClubPenguin, waddle on

There are three constants in life, death, taxes, and Kyle celebrating Club Penguin’s legacy

I LOVED Club Penguin as a kid but stopped playing before most of these rumors. I think the last update I played was the fire Card-Jitsu. I had no idea they expanded on the puffles so much or finally tipped the iceberg! I wish I was there for it. I remember that rumor well and always going over to drill.

Watching the iceberg tip back then was just so cool. I miss club penguin it was so much fun. I remember logging onto our family computer after school and the dial up screaming at me as it loaded up just to play.

The golden puffle myth in the super early days of Club Penguin is what I used to be obsessed with finding 😅

There was a obscure myth here in Brazil written on a blogpost somewhere in the very late 2000's or early 2010's about that one picture on the shed (that one with the go fishing minigame) that said in that painting (that paiting that looks like half of a penguin) was actually rockhopper's maid trapped in a frame.

"come for my personality" Me: yes. Also me: plus I'd like to learn about all the stuff I missed out on because I rejected childhood things in a desperate attempt to control my life in chaotic circumstances when I could barely do multiplication

15:06 That is the most 2000’s thing I have ever seen

I remember encountering a cheat engine for Club Penguin called "Penguin Storm" that could give you're login penguin unlimited coins to use when not using P.S. and various other things

I love watching these kinds of videos at night, very specific topics will always be fascinating. The music selections were great too, keep up the fantastic work.

i was way too interested about the allegedly witch penguin stuck at the ski lodge mirror and the brown puffle also stuck in the top of the clock, which was a SHOCK seeing it in the catalog and discovering it wasnt just a myth haha

holy moly the phaser thing at 15:01 unlocked a part of my brain that I had completely forgotten. I remember destroying webpages left right and centre with that

Thanks for the trip around memory lane. I remember the official rainbow puffle had me probably the most hyped I've ever been for a video game as a kid, I was ecstatic. Waddle on!

Buster had me rolling “do you really think someone would do that.. just go on the internet and tell lies” 😂

I absolutely adore these kinds of videos, mostly because it brings me back to why I enjoyed the game so much, at least more than others. If you got any more stories about club penguin or just your personal experiences then PLEASE make a video about them because I would love to watch that!

Oh, I absolutely loved this. Solid and sweet. Maaybe, just maybe, we could have another Club Penguin video about weird secrets in the game, like the numbered buoys?

I remember doing the last party just to tip the iceberg. It was years since I played the game, but I remember the legend and trying to flip the iceberg when I was a kid. The event was a great way for me to finally accomplish and experience one of the things me and my friends would theorize years back.

Why do you look the guy from Victorious

As someone Who started at club penguin barely when I got 6 Years(my brothers and I would sit on my father's PC and play by turns), speaking about 2011. I got on theories when I was 8. And actually, till now I thought the shadow ninja was a urban legend that wasnt even implemented. I remember trying stuff that were just Legends and stuff. But honestly the place where I was mainly was card-jitsu. It was my favorite place by far. I remember first went for fire element. When ice was added I went for It. And I remember how angry I would get by being bad at Water element. It's ironic how my three brothers and I were for each element. My sister mained Ice, my older brother Water and I did fire. Good memories, indeed. I still keep my "villain special" magazine. My brothers and I just got a magazine for each one once. And I Well remember how much I liked Tusk, mostly by design. And got the magazine. I still keep It to this day.

my childhood friend told me webkinz users were sneaking into igloo windows at night and killing puffles. I went to bed every night terrified for my puffles.

i remember hitting up old elementary school friends i used to play with to go and tip the iceberg together, making that possible at the end was a good move

Some of my best memories come from Club Penguin. There was of course playing the game every day after school and all the different parties, but I remember so much more, and pretty vividly. From the fun parties and cool crossovers with stuff like the Avengers, to the whacky world of Pookies and e-dating, Club Penguin really taught me a lot, for better or for worse. I remember my friend and I arguing about Puffles and what color would get added next, and how overjoyed we were when brown Puffles got added in. I remember going to Toys R Us with my family after my birthday and using my birthday money to buy an Igloo playset and Gary the Gadget Guy figure. I remember always begging my family for the real Cardjitsu cards, and trying to get them to play it with me. The DS EPF games, the Wii game, Game Day, the redesigns of the famous penguins like Cadence, it's all there in my head. The Box Dimension, the dragon's gold horde, desperately trying to get into specific servers on famous penguin visiting days, especially Gary and Sensei, so many fun little events. Club Penguin and I share so many memories, and it's so sad to see what happened to it. I didn't get to play the final party, I hadn't heard about it until after it was over. This stupid little game will always have a special place with me.

About Card-jistu shadow. There was a "glitch" in which several card's border became black with no image. For a long time CP players thought those are assets accidentaly appeared in the game.

There used to be a cheat client available (which was taken down pretty quickly iirc) and it let you teleport to any location, even if it wasn't available at the time such as Rockhopper's ship. I remember using it and teleporting to his ship expecting to be taken to Rockhopper island, but was pretty disappointed when I didn't find it. Though I did get very spooked when I saw another player enter the same room as me because I thought it was a developer. Turns out it was another player using the same cheat client as me. We became good friends from that point onwards but eventually he stopped logging in. Good times.

Honestly Club Penguin will always hold a special place in my heart. You could tell how much love and effort the creators put into the game, especially with all the little details. I remember coming home and being so excited for literally every party that came out.

I remember watching a whole tutorial on how to get the rainbow puffle that was about 14 minutes long, I followed it step by step while playing late at night. There's a clown jump scare right at the end of the vid. I got so frightened I fell off my seat and never played with the light off again.

Club Penguin lives on in our memories, im glad to see videos where people are actually talking about club penguin and not just memeing it

really high quality video my dude, keep up the good work ! Please make more Club Penguin video essays, or hell, a part two !

Might as well make a club penguin iceberg video. I'd sure as hell watch that 100 times

Shadow Jitsu was such a cool concept, I wish that it could've been executed

You should totally do more club Penguin videos! I used to love club penguin and wish it was still a thing….

4:16 all this time I’ve been misremembering Rockhopper’s Quest and thought that we did go to Rockhopper Island. But apparently we just went to Shipwreck Island

I remember when during the era of Card Jitsu fire and water, people made fan made theories if the Card-Jitsu DARK WATER and DARK FIRE (don’t remember the real name)

Banger video. I remember believing most of these when I played Club Penguin. These, along with stuff like Waluigi in SM64DS, and the myriad of hoaxes I believed about Pokemon games are so funny looking back. It's honestly a shame that video game hoaxes can't really spread the same way anymore.

great video :) gets my stamp of approval as a casual club penguin historian

Fantastic video! Definitely deserves far more views than it currently has. Keep up the great work! And I hope you have a great day!

I came to club penguin like 2 years before it closed but I still enjoyed TF out of it

thanks for this nostalgia rush. club penguin was such a defining game in my childhood and hearing abt all the rumors/myths i used to obsess over back then really makes me reminicise on the good ol' days.

The card jitsu stuff was definitely a highlight of club penguin

I honestly thought the shadow element in Club Penguin was real for the LONGEST time

Everytime i see club penguin my heart hurts thinking about the hours that wont come back, great video was such a fun time watching it!

What a nostalgic video, thanks Switchie, you remind me of those sweet memories

Loved every second of this video! Thanks for posting!!

In terms of puffles, there was one teased puffle that was never added, despite having several easter-eggs in various medias to it: The Purple Turkish Van Cat Puffle. This puffle was seen in various parties, such as the Paper Sketch Box Dimension, during the Puffle Trouble animation when Herbert's cave was flooded with Puffles, and a few other behind the scenes stuff. I believe it was even featured in a official guide at some point? This was the ORIGINAL "creature" puffle, but was never added into the game. Its unfortunate, since it was such a mysterious puffle. The concept was reused, but I always thought, when I was a kid, that it was a Puffle who's gimmick was magic, where it wouldve been able to turn into various other creatures, but it was never released. I wonder what happened to it... There's a wikipedia article about it, which isn't the most reliable source, but it documented its appearences quite well.

In Israel we had our versions of club penguin and one of my favourite things is that often the rumours were true the creators would hide a lot of stuff making easter egg hunting a massive thing also it seems like they would add atuff based on the rumours which was super cool of them

I knew an unlimited coins glitch and I bought every furniture piece in the catalog 😂 I made my whole igloo wall fireplace tv’s. The way you would do it is with that mini game that was on the island. Some random kid taught me how to do it online, and I never saw a RU-vid video of it. Thought I was so special for knowing a glitch that no one knew.. same thing happened with black ops zombies acension map. There was a way to charge your knife and if the crawler was half way up the stairs, you could knife and then end up in a floating glitch and never die. Also a glitch I learned online that I never saw posted

Thank you for keeping the CP love alive! We need more people like you

I remember getting one of the first Rockhopper backgrounds and I was so excited, I used to have a Club Penguin channel but have since lost the info for it. I wish I could go back just one last time and see all the stuff I had collected over the years.

I remember i was one of those kids that tried to search on youtube for club penguin NPC accounts... truly a blast from the past

God I remember tipping the iceberg. I planned on watching this just for shits and giggles but this has unlocked some visceral memories.

Seriously well done video, gave me a good bit of joy hearing about these again 😪😊

Your narration is great man, I'm subbing. More Club Penguin please!

I miss being a part of the Club Penguin community, I used to play it constantly with random classmates in my elementary school and with my sisters

Unregistered hypercam 2 tutorials

I remember I was OBSESSED with the spy games and the the spy missions lol I don’t even remember what it was called

Great video, this game holds a lot of memories.. shame it's gone. I remember going to the telescope all the time waiting for his ship xD. Oml I remember getting my first puffle too. The card jitsu hideout before fire just had such a special feel to it..

No, but do y';all remember "Aunt Arctic is The Director"? I'm not sure if the devs saw that theory and were like "yeah, sure" and made it canon, or if it was always planned and we just picked up on foreshadowing, but I will never forget how utterly hyped I was when it was confirmed that all our tinfoil hatting was RIGHT.

It was so dope you could flip the iceberg I remember spending ages just to get the helmet or whatever it was you got after flipping it but then soon got upset cause of the fact the game then shutdown not long after

One of my favorite memories of Club Penguin was during the 2010 Fall Fair, I pretended to be a tour guide for Rockhopper's Island and I actually convinced a whole group of people that by going onto the Migrator and then getting off again that we actually went to Rockhopper's Island Also nice taste in music with the BTS desktop wallpaper and MCR shirt

Man I remember finding Rockhopper once, man nostalgia of chasing this AI around with like 50 people and tracking what world he was on

Maan, it sucks that the newer generations of people will never experience just doing their own thing on Club Penguin only to have a random person pop in and say "Tipping the Iceberg!" and then you go there and it is just packed to the brim with Penguins in hardhats drilling.

thank u so much for the collaboration callback I fistpumped the air, I cheered, I cried

i remember looking up how to hack into garry’s account when i was maybe 10 or 11, got jumpscared for the first time and completely traumatized

the iceberg message still makes me emotional

I remember seeing a video where someone did a tutorial on how to make your puffles sing, by telling them to "sing" then waiting until they bounce towards the corner, they then cheered and opened MS paint with a picture of a puffle pasted in. They'd click on the corner of the puffle's mouth and start to drag an opaque black circle around mimicking the puffle's mouth moving all while dragostea din tei played in the background and child me believed it.

such a cool video ^_^ i loved hearing you talk about club penguin! ur commentary is really subtly funny too, nice work :D

I miss staying up late trying to watch every video to unlock club penguin myths.

8 year old me was obsessed with Waluigi in SM64 DS myth. To this day I’m pissed Nintendo had that meaningless fourth character door…

just randomly i was dancing in rockhopper's chair and he appeared - i fully convicted myself this was a way to summon him every time lmao

i just love how both Animal Jam and Club Penguin had both something related to breaking ice or flipping it except Animal Jam dint do anything about that but Club Penguin did, i remember when i finnaly flipped the ice, good times

"the school system made me a really paranoid kid" "i was an anxious kid" ahaha 2meirl4meirl...

This video brought back sooo many memories

I remember when I was like 9 years old me and friend ran through town telling everyone to come tip the iceberg and we had so many people come and start drilling and I’m not kidding the very next day, the iceberg was broken in half for some event and I was mind blown and thought I did something.

honestly no clue why this was recommended for me but i’m happy about

The intro clip with the rockhopper island brought back some long forgotten memories. Great Stuff

Bro the brown puffle was HYPE

I remember going to the local town with my parents and there where some stalls up one selling boxes and boxes of Club Penguin trading card packs, and they where really cheep also! so once every 2 weeks I would get a box of them from my parents and would open them to complete my collection but what I was hoping for was a golden code card, these where 1/25 packs I believe and would instant unlock a piece of the clothing for the card jitsu suits, the fire snow and water ones, I managed to complete all 3 of the sets just with those codes and wish I couls still find my club penguin trading cards as I had a full set of them.

I remember spending hours upon hours trying to find Rockhopper. I would be on tracking sites always trying to find him for the character background. It was such a great feeling finally finding him

I never knew of many of the fan theories except for rockhopper island, shadow & the iceberg tipping. 2010 onwards until 2017 I only played because I was in the club penguin armies community, which that is a whole iceberg waiting to happen on its own lol. But this was a great video I learned quite a bit from it!
