"Penguin House" is an irreverent animated comedy following the chaotic misadventures of roommates P, Mac, Basil, and neighbor Gwen—four toy penguins navigating the absurdities of modern life. Born from Cosmicosmo's blue penguin logo, the show represents a creative collaboration between creator Chris Alden, Tanner Bartlett, Tyler Ritchie, and Vanille Orion, who all wanted to transcend standard social media content and create something inspired by their shared love of the era they were left in front of a television during.

The series centers on P, an autobiographical conflict-avoidant yet judgmental character who lets life happen to him rather than taking control; Mac, an opinionated firecracker with awful libertarian tendencies who doubles down rather than learning from mistakes; Basil, a well-intentioned artist whose chill exterior masks deep-seated neuroses and self-image issues; and Gwen, the seemingly responsible one whose sharp intellect and multiple talents are balanced by her extreme control issues.

Drawing heavy influence from Adult Swim programming hitting a fever pitch right at the onset of the creator's puberty with shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab 2021, Penguin House blends surreal humor with cultural commentary. Through its distinctive comedic voice, the show explores interpersonal relationships and contemporary absurdity, featuring scenarios ranging from credit card debt spiraling into yacht parties to low resolution animal adoptions and pedantic art world debates —all with minimal planning and maximum spontaneity in the creative process.
