Pingu at the Funfair (sometimes known as Pingu at the Fairground and Pingu goes to the fair in Pingu and Friends from 1999) is the sixteenth episode of the second season which was first broadcast on July 13, 1993.

Plot[]

Today, Pingu and Pinga are going with their parents to the funfair for the day.

When they arrive, the fairground is in full swing: there are balloons, ice-creams, candy floss, games, stalls and rides as far as the eye can see. Mr. Peng-Hoven is also there playing his barrel organ and Pingu drops some money into his hat for his music. Pingu and Pinga then rush up to the candyfloss machine; Pinga and Pingu have blue and pink candyfloss respectively, with Dad paying for them the low, low price of one single coin.

At the “Hit the Tins” stall, Pingu has a go and knocks all the tins down in all his three throws, and receives a lollipop as a prize. Then Pinga has a go, but she throws before the stallholder has completely finished putting back the tins. The ball misses, bounces off the backboard onto the stallholder's head, and then into the tins, knocking them all down in one go. Despite the impressive turn of events, the stallholder does not like the fact that he got hit and loses his temper in front of Pinga, scaring her away. The family runs away quickly, leaving the angry stallholder still blowing his top. Pingu and Pinga then go up to the ice cream kiosk and have a strawberry, chocolate and vanilla mix cornet each.

The family then go over to the "Test Your Strength" machine. Pingu tests his strength but gets Rank: Buttercup. While mum has her go and ranks: Hercules, Dad sneaks off to the sweet stall buys a heart shaped candy pendant for her. When the others come over to join Dad, he puts the pendant around Mum neck and Pingu and Pinga get given twisty candy stick each.

Pingu and Pinga then have a ride on the Merry-Go-Round and afterwards, Pingu rides on the swings. Mum and Dad are concerned about the height their son is swinging. Pingu swings so high that by the time he gets off, he feels rather queasy, so much so that he cannot eat anymore candyfloss with Pinga on the way home. Just as they are about to leave, Pingu and Pinga each get a balloon, but Pingu is feeling too dizzy to get hold of the string and the balloon floats away, leaving Pinga with no other choice but to let hers go as well. This makes Pingu feel a bit better, and they all have a jolly good laugh. Then they all set for home as sun sets over the horizon.
