Obviously it was important to construct this catalog of Mo's villainy, but my fan fiction is going to about the obviously-complicated relationship between Tux and poor Timmy.

Burny is the vigilante anti-hero penguin we didn't know we needed.

I think Mr Mac being both a Naughty Penguin and a Good Penguin says something about he duality of man (or penguin)

Timmy is trying SO HARD to do better and he just keeps being punished for it and, well, MOOD.

There are many naughty penguins, but Timmy's name will go down in history above all others.

Ohhh, I needed this on a Friday morning, thanks!

It’s probably just the unexamined privilege of a tall man that makes me think this but I feel like if Dora got to know me she’d really like me. And I wouldn’t shame her for wanting an escort at feeding time, either; it makes sense that a lady would want someone to watch her back with fuckin’ Mo stealing fish and dropping them in the fuckin’ sand.

Fuckin’ Mo. Always into something.

I’m not sure if the lessons learned from Penguin Management Techniques will transfer properly to employee management.

From now on the primary acronym for “PM” is Penguin Manager.

I had an asshole of a c-level try to push me off a project after it took me 8 months to get there, so I sympathize with Timmy.

the saga of timmy as both pusher and pushed is quite gripping

I can just imagine the person who puts these together angrily typing and muttering under their breath: “So help me god Mo, where do I even begin...”

Dear McElroy brothers: my coworker pushed me off a pier, after it took me like an hour to walk there. What should I do? Also he steals fish right from my mouth.

Whyyyyy is threadreader recommending to me "related" passages from Joseph Goebbels???????? Kind of a downer after a delightful thread!

At first glance I misread Pepper as having EATEN a member of the public, not eaten FROM a member of the public, and was momentarily confused as to why that would not land her on the naughty list.

One of the penguins is naughty just for being "Outright Obnoxious" and now I want to know what he did to warrant it.

All I can picture is the Monty Python sketch where the mafia is trying to shake down the British Army. "Nice penguin habitat here. Be a shame if something happened to it."

These Kiwi zookeepers feel very protective of their relationships with these Good and Naughty Penguins. They'd rather the public cower in fear of these silly little bastards, so the occasional shaggy-penguin story of human-eaters suits their agenda just fine.
