- Although the programme is set in Antarctica, Pingu and his family live in an igloo, which are found only in the Arctic as the traditional dwellings of the native Inuit people.
- In 1989, David Hasselhoff released (in Switzerland only) the single "Pingu Dance"[1], a rap song based on the Pingu shorts and featuring samples of Pinguish. A portion of this song is used as the theme to Pingu on the PBS Kids Sprout channel in the United States.
- The episode "Pingu WC episode"/"Pingu's Lavatory Story" was banned in some countries because of its graphic depictions of urination. The episode "Pingu's Dream" was also similarly subject to bans because it contains a giant leopard seal trying to capture Pingu.
- In a Swedish talk show, interviewee Madonna criticised Pingu as a bad influence on talk show host Kristian Luuk's daughter, because she considers TV dangerous to children's health.
- In the episode Pingu is jealous (Episode 6, Series 1), a flag atop Pingu's house nearly resembles the flag of Dominican Republic except for the penguin in the center of the flag.
- In the episode Pingu's admirer, a signpost gives directions to Perestroika and Glasnost.
- Some episodes of Pingu were released as bonus features on Fraggle Rock DVDs.
- Some episodes feature primitive electronic devices, such as a 1980s-era record player in "Pingu helps with Incubating", or a simplistic radio as seen in "Pingu's parents go to a concert".
- In "Pingu and Pinga don't want to go to bed" (Episode 12, Series 1), Pinga's chamberpot is clearly visible.
- On the episode Pingu helps with Incubating (Episode 2, Series 1) Pingu is listening to Woodpeckers From Space by the band VideoKids in the early version of this episode and in the current version, the song is replaced with an extended version of the current Pingu intro theme.
- One Japanese DVD, fun! fun! story, its "fun! fun!" aspect led to flash animated "fun! fun! comics"
[edit] Pingu is Introduced
- Alternative title - "Hello Pingu"
Pingu and his parents are having lunch, but Pingu is eating disgustingly; smashing his fork, swallowing potatoes(possibly eggs) whole, blowing bubbles in his drink, and of course refusing to eat his greens. After this comical lunch, Pingu goes out to play with his ball, but his two "friends" Pingo and Pingg come and steal it (this is contrary to later episodes, in which they are nice to him). After a brawl in which Pingu knocks his head and his ball is burst, he gets his ball back and goes inside. His parents put a patch on his head and ball, and rock him to sleep in a hammock.
- Produced in 1988
- The first Pingu episode. Introduces Pingu, his parents, two friends named Pingo and Pingg, and the overall gist and premise of the series.
