Watch these penguins' complete bewilderment as they fail at a basic life skill.

If you’ve ever found yourself completely bewildered by a very simple situation, take comfort: you’re not alone.

In this viral video, a group of Emperor penguins demonstrate their total inability to take a waddle by the ocean — a pretty basic life skill for penguins, it would seem.

The feathered critters are NOT HAPPY when they find a rope tied across their path, and try a series of manoeuvres to navigate the baffling object.

The results are as humiliating as they are hilarious. Take a look:

Go home penguins, you’re drunk.

It's not a video about failing a basic life skill. It's a video of penguins trying to pass a rope that had been placed to cause them difficulty in accessing the ocean. The equivalent of building a wall and watching humans try to climb over it then laughing at them, but that would be less mean.

"A series of manoeuvres"? Really? I think a series implies more than one, and all they did was walk straight into it until they fell over or made it past.
