Bob Saget Aims to Spoof the "Penguins"

by | November 4, 2005 | Comments

Apparently there’s nothing wrong with "March of the Penguins" that can’t be fixed by 80 consecutive minutes of snarky comments from Bob Saget, which is why ThinkFilm is giving him money to write, produce, and direct a spoof entitled "Farce of the Penguins."

Says Variety: "Pic — which Think described on Wednesday as a "comedic adventure" combining "wildlife photography with an irreverent and decidedly R-rated theme and soundtrack" — is skedded for a spring rollout.

"The idea for this came organically," said Saget, who recently appeared in Think’s raunchy comedy docu "The Aristocrats." "I was watching the ‘March’ movie at a screening at my friend’s house, and I couldn’t stop doing the voiceovers of the penguins, reminiscent of when I did the voices of the animals on (‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’). My friend David Permut said, there’s a great comedy movie in this.""
