- Nils Olav had the body of a penguin, the heart of a lion and the job of a Norwegian King's Guard. This is a list of his many achievements.
"Brigadier Sir Nils Olav III (Norwegian: [ˌnɪls ˈôːlɑv]) is a king penguin who resides in Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland. He is the mascot and colonel-in-chief of the Norwegian King's Guard. The name 'Nils Olav' and associated ranks have been passed down through three king penguins since 1972 - the current holder being Nils Olav III."

Qxir deserves 1st place and that million dollaridoos.
Vote for Qxir! It's really easy and every vote helps
I'll vote cause I watch your content a lot
I DID MY PART
You seem to have lost 5k votes since I voted. The fix is in.
Nils saved my brother in combat. He was shot through the leg and couldn't walk, and the area was about to be bombed. He rushed my brother far away and he managed to survive. Long live Nils!
They say he cleared a trench with nothing but a sidearm and two clips. Nils the legend.
my grandpa wouldnt be here today if Nils didn't flap his majestic wings, soaring into the sky to dogfight with german bombers.
Nils saved my ass in 'Nam. God bless that little penguin! 🇺🇲
Nils saved me during a trench raid in ww1 I wouldn't be here today it it wasn't for him. God bless him
@@Nordl3 thought this was gonna be a Rick roll, and instead it was an actually good song I haven't heard before. Thank you for this. Camouflage would be proud of Nils.
This penguin had a higher rank than most people will get in years
Yeah but to be fair this is his third life, I think people could get there if you gave them 3 lives.
As an US Air Force cadet, I can confirm this statement.
What's funny is that he technically outranks the CO of the King's Guard now.
It just goes to show you cuteness gets you a long way
It just makes Norway seem like such an awesome country
He is a King, after all.
a few more promotions and odds are he'll become Norway's king.
I thought they were Emporer Penguins. Maybe thats what we call them in the US. Gotta be different
@@mikerentiers king penguins are different from emperor penguins, the emperor penguin is bigger
"-yes, Scotland, it'll make more sense soon-"
No, actually, that just about checks out
Wait until you hear about wojtek a polish bear who has a statue cos hes that cool
@YeaMan dont shut your mailbox actually, in fact you should check it tomorrow morning but only after about 8:30am. Dont worry, it'll be a _blast_
I'm sure you'll be _exploding_ with excitement.
-And also the bomb-
Edinburgh’s Zoo is where military animals retire. Sick.
What on gods green earth ???
Them sweatys definitely like there drink lol
As a scot, yes, but shut your mailbox
A penguin receiving an official knighthood is the funniest thing I have ever heard. I wish we did things like this more often.
We have a dog mayor in a small California town.
Imagine being just short of getting night hood or after you spent years to get it and a penguin takes it
Isn't there a high ranking goat as a regiment mascot somewhere around here?
@tom billiard A good point you have. As for toast, hot buttered, cheese or Marmite. I just have to work out how to stuff it up the usb socket. I keep getting crumbs everywhere.
@tom billiard To be honest i don't think there would be any difference between a goat and a democrat, oh no wait, the goat won't actively try to ruin everything it can.
Nils Olav, an ornithological military dynasty worthy of the personal commendation of the King of Norway. Magnificent

This comment makes no sense and tries hard to be witty and smart.
So, the bird studies itself? Or what. If you would have used "avian" instead, I wouldn't give a shit.
But man, what a try hard 😊
Imagine being someone being knighted before Nils, "Tap Tap knighted now get put of Nils' way"
"Sorry, the penguin interrupted and once it's been been said out loud it's official. You are henceforth known as Sir Skrawwwk-Awk-Awk-Awk."
I really like how the penguins actually fit the role. You see mascots everywhere but the penguin is awesome because of how he walks, how he dresses and so on.
Yes. A penguin is never under dressed.
In Chinese, they are called "business goose" and I spend a lot of time thinking about this
Nils Olav's speech was inspiring, what a truly heartwarming and unusual story. Nils and his predecessors are absolute mad lads.
Oh yeah I was bawling
And short ... politicians could learn a lesson.
how about wojtek a polish bear? would be funny to see two military animals videos in a row :D
Low chances unfortunetly
Or just all the types of animals in military service. Ceremonial and working.
Yes!
Did wojtek become a CO and a knight?
Wojtek actually has a statue in Edinburgh too!
How noble of him to renounce his claim as emperor for a life of duty and service to the crown. Truly an inspiration.
This is a king penguin, not an emperor penguin. Different species.
That speech made me tear up. What an absolute legend. o7
The speech inspired me to join the King's Guard myself.
The speech finally lessened the dreadful pain over the loss of my brothers during the cold war.
Beats any U.S. Presidential speech in.... oh let's say.... the last 200 years. That bird's got my vote!
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one moved by his speech.
O⁷
This is the greatest video on TH-cam, I almost choked to death during penguin chase scene cause I was laughing so hard
That'll happen in this series. Where you can't breathe from laughter... and that's why we should vote for him to win a million bucks!
The airplane noises are what make it true art.
@@A_Ducky indeed
Living in Norway, I'm ashamed to say that I had never heard of our truly *honourable* penguins. I'll do better in the future, I promise.
*I salute thee, Nils Olav III*
EDIT: Voted in the contest, your lead is enormous. Over 18k votes for you at the moment, meanwhile the runner up had about 4k votes. You're killing it! Well deserved!
You should visit Huseby Leir. It has a life sized statue of Nils Olav. The camp has a few open days a year. Highly recommended. Also you know, you get to see the whole drill program.
the penguin going for the wings is possibly the funniest thing ive seen on the internet to date (my cat felt the strong nostril gusts and clapped, tearfully)
Next time when in military remember that all of your hard work will be seen as good by public but also that there's a penguin that has a higher title than you will ever achieve
That's Penguin _Sir_ to you, maggot! Now drop and give me twenty... fish.
As a former member of the King’s Guard I have to inform you that we all adore Nils Olav. We have a statue of him at the camp.
As a Norwegian, this brings me joy
Her her brother👍🇧🇻
And as a Scot I'm grateful we have this connection 😁
i legit teared up upon his speech. i am very proud of nils olav III
Too funny. As a new private in the USMC I remember seeing the battalion mascot bulldog. It had a sort of uniform and was a Lance Corporal, 2 ranks higher that me. 😂😂
I have a better one. In former Mexican Federal Police, search dogs were ranked as officers. No joke.
@@asadabdulqaabir4006 you won. Lol👍
Both of these make sense to me. The search dogs need to be well-paid and trustworthy to prevent being corrupted, and they give orders as to who needs to be searched. Clearly officer material. And let's face it, given the reputation of the USMC as jarheads, it's probably a good idea to have someone responsible and intelligent like a bulldog in charge of the green privates.
@@asadabdulqaabir4006 Isn't it because it prevents mishandling and abusing them? Atleast I heard something like that about military dogs - that they're always higher rank than their handlers.
@@PurpleCh4lk That sounds perfectly logical to me.
this penguin accomplished more than 99% of us ever will in our lifetime.
Voted for you, brother. Hope you get that million for the channel, you certainly deserve it!

Best part of a Friday will always be a tales from the bottle release. Top tier content everytime
Definitely!
It makes sense, he is a penguin not a peng-lose
Amazing, my most heartfelt thanks for this comment
🤣 good one
based and grey pilled

16K votes in the finals so far... absolutely blowing the competition out of the water. If I'm not mistaken that's the most votes anyone has gotten in the entire competition. You got this!!!
Been watching since the killdozer video. You absolutely deserve the investment
love the way you drew the norwegian's outfit in 0:54. your style never dissapoints
These are probably some of your best illustrations yet, great work mate
Stories like this one make me love humans all over again. Thank you for you service Nils Olav 🫡
Just voted for you. You absolutely deserve that million! You deserve $10M as far as I’m aware. Keep up the great work, and best of luck! Looks like youve got this one in the bag 💰
He is the best soldier in Norway
@YeaMan ok?
@@jonatanstang5675 yeaman is a spambot, report them.
Best HUMAN soldiers Norway ever had were the 10 saboteurs who prevented Hitler from making "hard water" - which would have given him an atom bomb. Salute to them!!! 🫡
The only soldier of Norway.
@tom billiard Of course you did.
We wouldn't expect anything less from a Leftist.
I just adore that this became tradition, and we kept it up.
Only problem is that we’ll run out of ranks eventually, and that a penguin could outrank literally everyone else.
The statue is a neat touch though, gotta say. This dynasty of critters are surely forever immortalised.
Once you run out of ranks just make up new ones.
Or go crazy like idk god penguin emperor or something
The final rank should be Emperor Penguin.
Eventually Sir Nils Olav X Will bee supreme good emperor Sir Nils Olav protecter of the milkyway, destroyer of planets.
@@matfhju exactly! Hell yeah brother!
@@mrosskne ahh yeah I was deadly tired when writing that ;D
This is exactly why I subbed to you years ago. Amazing content as always
That was awesome. Sure loved every bit of this fantastic story. Thank you.
Bless you Nils. A credit to penguins regardless of nationality. Thank you for your service.
I've been following your channel for many years now and it's crazy how much your channel has grown.
I really hope you win the CreatorDAO contest, you really deserve it !
Keep up the good work ^^
I love watching these light hearted videos on YT instead of more serious ones. Thanks. You've actually helped my morning mood.
You got my vote brother. I love your topic selection and story telling ability. Your accent is pretty cool too, it gives the channel a little extra character by lending it some of your own. Good luck, and as always, looking forward to the next video!
Great video man! I saw the penguin video a little while back and wondered what was going on, but now questions are answered haha so thanks!
Also I wish you luck in the votes, it would be great to see you win!
I had the great pleaseure to see Penguinos in the wild in Argentina. Such amazing creatures. Great animation of the penguins! You really gave them an attitude!
Can't believe I finally find a Qxir video before it's been days since release. Great content and cool drawings, definitely a great and easy way to learn interesting history facts. Thank you and keep it up Qxir!
Always happy to see our wee country make it to the channel, may Nils legend live on forever!
This video was everything I needed, as a military and bird enthusiast. Good luck in your competition dude!
Military and bird enthusiast? I see you, Colonel Sanders!
@@johnladuke6475 I don't think me or my 11 secret spices have ever been called out so hard! °m°
This is perfect i love this story and it would be funnier if there were people chasing after them lol i also really like seeing how far qxir has come with his animation keep it up man looks really good
Hey man I enjoy your content a great deal and watch 'em all with great interest and amusement, and wanted to wish you the best and hope things vibe well your way. You absolutely have deserved 1M Subs for a long time now, and I can't wait 'til the day you achieve that milestone for yourself
This is some pure unadulterated wholesomeness that I was in desperate need of thank you.
Fun fact: the Chinese name for penguin translates to "business goose" and the Vietnamese name for it translate to "short/amputated wing bird."
Chinese: Corporate birds
Vietnamese: Battle-scarred amputees
English: Royalty
Thanks Kong. I am now going to make a point of referring to penguins as 'Business Geese' from this day forward.
@Carl Manvers you're whalecum fella :)
@@carlmanvers5009 It kinda makes sense,they look like they're wearing a tuxedo after all
bro you totally won that million. I'm super happy for you and excited to see what the future holds for your channel.
This video was so heartwarming, I HAD to vote for you.
thank you for more military animal videos!
I don't think people are seeing the implications here. A few more years of this, and Norway is going to have a Penguin as its Prime Minister.
this is now my favorite qxir video BY FAR, i cannot tell you how much i've smiled in the span of this 7 video!! I love it!!
Voted for you mate. Good luck and thanks for all the great vids.
Imagine being on the battle field and you see a penguin with a Norwegian military uniform, and then you turn to see the Scottish military with a bear helping load artillery, I would have surrendered
Don't forget about the British goat william Windsor aka billy
Reminds me of the animals from gi joe a real american hero cartoon
I like the addition of little joke skits like the penguin extender wings in these videos, I feel like having one per Episode would make the videos better!
yes, but the official penguin extender wing set also includes a soda bottle strapped to the body for thrust
Hahaha, gr8 short !!! Voted for you bro !!! Def one of the best channels anywhere !! Keep it up 👍👍👍👍
Voted for you dude! You've always given me so many laughs throughout your videos. It's literally the least I can do. YOULL WIN FOR SURE
What a humble high ranking. We need more like him
yes, QIXR is the best
nils saved my brother during a coalition mission in afghanistan in 2004. their convoy was in a taliban ambush. my brother's humvee was flipped by an IED and he was pinned under the radio which became dislodged. nils came and pulled it off of him and provided covering fire while he retreated back towards friendly cover. nils was sadly struck by enemy gunfire in the abdomen while he was retreating back towards friendlies. he was put in a med evac helicopter but he sadly succumbed too his wounds. he was one hell of a sargent. but thats why his children and grand children do what they do. they do it to honor his legacy!
Bro you are leading by 15k congrats. But this video is proof you'll never run out of content. Good for you Qxir love ur channel.
Nils speech is one of the most heartwarming and inspiring I've heard in my life, definitely one for the history books
New video so excited
Oh my dear god this is so freaking adorable ❤️
The outro of this video was... well it was absolutely perfect in every way. Bravo.
Your videos make me happy!
That was really quite a touching speech.
Kinda got me in the feels.
Do you think he write it himself?
I was a conscript in the King's Guard, and I can personally confirm that they have an iron statue of Nils Olav at their barracks in Norway :)
Yes they do. It’s beautiful.

Qxir is the story telling uncle we all wish we had. Love the content, as usual. Keep it up! 😎
Another fine video, and absolutely worthy of a vote!
If Nils was a recruiter, I would sign up
Nils made the idea that people serving in the military won’t smile or laugh (and this was a hard achievement to get considering he was a penguin)
That’s Nils Olav. Nils his namesake had a great sense of humor.
Great video sir! Was smiling the whole time, penguins are comedy gold.
That was a great vid :o) I had not known about the Olav line of penguins before..very interesting and the animations were stop on...good luck in the final!
I'm sure you're allowed to keep him in the hotel, he seems rather polite.
You gave me flashbacks but I can't remember to what, I know it's a movie but the memory is locked down tight.
This penguin has more honors than me
I just found your channel and have been watching your videos for the last couple hours. Great work. Definitely got a sub from me.
Then I went to the comments to go vote for you and found you have a second channel. While I'm not into gaming these days, that pinned Carmageddon video brought back some memories. Again, great work!!
it may be a little early to say it looks like your gonna win the contest, but good God it looks that way! good going man!! I absolutely cannot wait to see what you do going forward
just gotta take a minute to process the fact that a penguin has achieved more than I ever will in my life
Yeah, but you could probably take him in a fight. So at least you have that.
@@johnladuke6475 with a lot of emphasis on the "probably"
@@brendanhall6097 Challenge him to kickboxing, I believe in you.
I had no idea my counties capital was so famous for penguins! I hope us Scots and our friends over the North Sea can continue this fine tradition 😁👍
I used to live in Edinburgh and have seen the penguin parade. 10/10, definitely recommended.
I've seen this videos thumb nail all day and was thinking it was an ad for something It just didn't look like one of your regular thumbnails I don't know why.... But a whole 17 hours later I realize it's one of your videos and I'm very happy I get to watch a new one!!!
They all have a "come at me bro" kind of look when they walk.
More of a slow motion Naruto run, I think
I love those light hearted videos of yours
Thank you qxir for the high quality videos. You entertain me

Just soooooo wonderful and funny, love it
Looks like you're in good shape to win the 1M. Congrats!
Last week you didn’t put out a video, I look forward to this every week but yet I was let down!
I cannot believe there is finally a tales in the bottle episode without a bloody twist! Except the whaling ships of course
I am so greatful that this video appeared, it has helped me forget about my current depression situation. Thanks Qxir
Very fun and interesting video as always ! U should really do a tales from the bottle video on the phantom of Belgrade, it’s a fascinating story !
