Pingu comes from the Swiss claymation television series that began in 1990, following a young penguin living with his family in Antarctica and speaking a made up penguin language. Short scenes from the show became popular online because the expressive honks and slapstick need no translation. This whooping moment was clipped and shared on soundboards and in meme edits as a shorthand for getting in trouble, and it stays popular because the punishment gag is instantly understood even without seeing the original scene or knowing the episode.

Pingu getting whooped is a short cartoon meme sound of the penguin getting spanked, used for funny punishment, fail and getting in trouble reactions.
This four second clip captures Pingu in trouble, with rapid cartoon whooping slaps landing in quick succession over panicked penguin honks and squeaks. The rhythm is fast and exaggerated, each hit sounding soft and rubbery rather than harsh, which keeps the moment silly instead of mean. Pingu's famous noot noot style protest gets more frantic as the spanking continues, turning a strict telling off into pure slapstick. Viewers instantly read it as a childhood punishment played for laughs, the kind of over the top reaction that makes a minor mistake feel hilariously dramatic.
