Jealousy (also known as Pingu is Jealous) is the sixth episode of the first season of Pingu.
Summary[]
Pingu, Pinga and their mother are having a quiet day inside. Pingu is building towers with blocks, but they keep falling down, much to his dismay. Meanwhile, Mother lays Pinga down in her cradle and rocks her to sleep. Pingu goes to his mother for help with his blocks, but she is too busy knitting clothing for Pinga.
When Pingu goes over to Pinga, she wakes up and begins to cry. Mother comforts her and plays with her, much to Pingu's annoyance. Pingu desperately tries to get attention by acting like a baby, jumping up and down on Pinga's bed, putting the chamber pot on his head and banging it with a spoon, wearing the bedsheets on his head and pretending to be sick. Mother just ignores him and keeps playing with Pinga.
Pingu eventually gives up and climbs into the toy chest, feeling miserable. Realising how sad she has made Pingu, Mum apologises and hugs him, and he falls asleep with Pinga.

Trivia[]
- The flag on top of Pingu's Igloo resembles the flag of the Dominican Republic.
Censorship[]
- The BBC broadcasts and VHS releases of this episode shorten the scenes of Pingu in the toy chest and his mother walking over to comfort him, removing all instances of him being shut inside. To cover up the edit, a recycled shot from The New Arrival of the telephone ringing is placed before the shot of Mother comforting Pingu. This was likely done to not make it seem like Pingu was trying to harm himself.
- The scene where Pingu pretends to be sick was once cut in the USA because some viewers found it very inappropriate.[citation needed]
Goofs[]
- The Canadian title card says "Pingu Get Jaleous". It should say "Pingu Gets Jealous".
- As a result of the BBC edit as described above, due to footage from The New Arrival being used, some of Father's dialogue is accidentally heard in the background on the next shot of Pingu and Mother.
