Synopsis

Bob Saget’s “Farce of the Penguins” utilizes multiple documentary footage to comedic effect by having A-list Hollywood actors voice the animals on-screen (Saget orginally wanted to use footage from “March of the Penguins” but was unable to recieve permission from the filmmakers). Carl and Jimmy, best friends, walk 70 miles to the mating grounds where the female penguins wait. The huddled masses of females – especially Melissa and Vicki – talk about males, mating, and what might happen this year. Carl, Jimmy, and the other males make the long trek talking about food, fornication and flatulence. Until this year, Carl’s sex life has been dismal, but he falls hard for Melissa. —IMDb
