I can't find this animated gif

March 16, 2015 1:16 PM

This is silly but: I'm looking for a particular animated gif. It's a claymation penguin that hears the phone ringing and goes to answer it. Then his teakettle starts boiling, and then he sits down and cries, overwhelmed by too many inputs. I'm pretty sure the penguin is Pingu but no combination of search terms seems to be coming up with the image. Pretty sure I saw the gif on tumblr someplace.

Best answer: Here's a tumblr link. Not sure where it's from originally.

(Yeah, that's pingu, alright...in japan I was able to purchase pingu eggs which had little pingu figures in them...)
