*Disney:* Shuts down game to make modernized version*Game shuts down a year later because everyone liked the old one better than the new version nobody asked for*

[Ghost_of_Michael_Collins]

The original club penguin was amazing for 8 year old me. I remember coming home on a rainy day, finishing homework and playing it. Those were the days

[keelanbrown]

"Hey honey someone is at the door for you"
"It looks like he's holding a snowball"
*intense terrified screaming*
*fast thumping footsteps*
*deranged insane blood curdling screams*

[willg]

As a kid who was a non-member you made me feel better.

[maifahy]

I was freaking addicted to that martial arts card game

That's all I did in club penguin

[peachcakesanimations]

Imagine future generations watching this video and being like: wow so that’s what my parents did as kids

[firebird]

Just felt nostalgic for Club Penguin today, this video was a great trip down memory lane! I have so many great memories, from playing all the mini games, going on “dates” in the game, doing chores around the house to pay for membership, and buying real life puffles that also have me rewards in the game. I still have the DS game Elite Penguin Force, sometimes I come back to get that sweet nostalgia.

[TrevoltIV]

Damn watching this is a serious throwback. The nostalgia I'm experiencing right now goes unmatched. All I can think about is those wholesome ass days when nothing mattered except hanging out with friends and playing games, I love throwbacks like this because it reminds me of how I used to think I'd never grow up and would always be a kid. Reminds me to be more of a kid as an adult because that logic wasn't bad logic, in reality kids are smarter than adults in that they understand life isn't about what job you have and how much money you make, it's about how much fun you have.

[matpat]

“The connection has been lost
Thank you for playing Club Penguin
Waddle On!”

[johnxina]

its become like a tradition for me just to come and rewatch this video once every year or so just for the nostalgia and also, because this video is an absolute banger

[colefusco]

I’m not even going to lie watching this after club penguin shut down made me cry. This is so iconic and I love this game

[Kabloosh]

here's the life cycle of playing online games for the average internet user:

1. Create new account
2. learn how to play
3. Trying their best to earn the most amount of money
4. buys too many items and already gets bored with playing the games
5. stops playing for a while
6. after years or months, you repeat the cycle again

[devilishhhthebluedemon]

"and then i google maps their home adress" i was dying of laughter

[minkworks]

Almost made me cry. Kind of heartbreaking when you describe the coin glitch taking all the fun out of such a beloved game of yours.

[jemmusic]

It’s a tradition to watch this video once in a while

[dr.uselessYIIK]

"I hope that Club Penguin Island can provide a whole new generation of kids as much fun as I had!"
*Fast forward to 2019*
*Wheeze*

[vincentmckee]

*"aND tHEn I g00gLE mAPs tHeIR hOMe aDdrEsS"*

[siennamonroii]

Had to come on this video for the first time in a while, brings absolute nostalgia

[johnnyrocket]

Club Penguin was one of the first mmo style games I ever played as a kid. Started playing this back in 2006 when it was only like a year old and I remember when they first released the secret missions for the penguin CIA, the ninja cards, so many fun things. Once I discovered WoW in 2009 I fell off with everything else that wasn’t WoW related, so I forgot about club Penguin pretty much up until I heard it was canceled.

[maddie]

When that game was canceled I was actually was on the game when it shut down. When it gave me that message that the server was no longer available it felt like a part of me was gone...still sad to this day bruh
