Farce of the Penguins
I’m man enough to admit this publicly. I FRICKIN LOVED MARCH OF THE PENGUINS!!!! I seriously did. I’m also man enough to admit that I actually had a couple of tears well up when that mother Penguin was wailing over the frozen body of her dead baby. But I was sitting with another guy at the time… so I fought back the tears in a very manly way.
Anyway, in the funniest idea for a spoof comedy I think I’ve ever heard, Samuel L Jackson is going to narrate the Penguins take off “Farce of the Penguins” (if you’ll recall Morgan Freeman did the voice work for March of the Penguins). The story will be about a bunch of penguins who march for 70+ miles in a quest to get laid. Hilarious!!!!!
Oh oh oh… and guess who’s directing? BOB SAGET!!!! This thing is gold before it even starts shooting! And get this amazing list of actors lending their voices for the film (from the good folks over at Cinema Blend):
Saget will voice the lead penguin, and he is joined by a huge array of talent: Lewis Black, Mo’Nique, Tracy Morgan, Jason Alexander, James Belushi, Jason Biggs, Dane Cook, Harvey Fierstein, Whoopi Goldberg, Gilbert Gottfried, Norm Macdonald, Carlos Mencia, Alyson Hannigan, Jamie Kennedy, Jon Lovitz, Adam Duritz, John Stamos, Dave Coulier, and more.
Holy crap! With Saget, Stamos and Coulier all involved it’ll be a Full house reunion special! Where are the Olsen twins? Sign me up, I think this sounds hilarious!
This is the best news I have heard all day….no no week, ok forget that, this is the best movie news of 2006!!!!
seriously though, this is GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Bob Saget

This really does sound great, haha. I cant wait.
Sounds like it’ll be funny, but isn’t it a bit too specific for a spoof? Spoofing just the one movie, I mean. Unless they go the Hot Shots route and nail the whole genre of… uh… penguin movies.
Hey Marty.
I see what you’re saying… but 2 words: SPACE BALLS!!!!!
Maybe they can spoof the academy awards ceremony and have giant penguins step up to the podium carrying human dolls with tuxedos on, or maybe thats too farfetched.
Awww penguins…
Dirty work was a great movie, full house was an amazing show, the old americas funniest home videos were dope, not that new douchebag hes lame. everything bob saget has ever done has been great, so statistically this should be AMAZING!!!!
Just saw “Farce..blah..blah..” on Showtime. Pretty goddamn funny. I think the music interludes could have been shorter so’s you could add more HI-LAR-RITY..!! And more Lewis Black for god sakes!! Oh..well, I guess I’ll have to get the DVD and hope there’s more outtakes to hee-haw at. And you can’t beat stock footage to make a funny movie…nope…just can’t..
