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!

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.

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.
