Open Help me find this animation. (Related image, not exactly what I'm looking for)
Hello. I have a memory of an animated short that has haunted me for years, but I can't find it.
It was an animated 2D short I saw, maybe on Cartoon Network or Adult Swim or MTV, maybe around 2008 or earlier (or afterwards)
The animation was about some penguins (more or less like the one in the photo) that wore strange hats; some were normal, like top hats or party hats, but then there were others that were like drain cleaners, anvils, etc. The funny thing was that these penguins would then explode; I vaguely remember them explaining that this happened because of strong emotions, but I think it was more something that happened randomly. When the penguin exploded, its soul rose to heaven where they were having a party without limits. At the end, a penguin is seen being called by his mother, telling him how fun the place is and that he should go. The penguin replies that he is not ready and declines the offer.
It's the most vivid memory on my head. So, please, help!

I have searched it everywhere, from TV guides from 20 years ago to Lost Media animation lists, even asking AI directly, I can't find anything about it.

This is from the 2009 animated short film Skylight.

The image is from Skylight, but it's not what I'm looking for. I'm using it as a reference because the design resembles what I remember.
