A Comedy Like No Other. The Highly Anticipated Spoof from Irreverent Comedian Bob Saget: FARCE OF THE PENGUINS

...As Told by Samuel L. Jackson. Marches onto DVD January 30, 2007 from THINKFilm. Featuring an Amazing Cast of Today's Funniest Comedians!

Toronto    October 25, 2006

What happens in Antarctica, stays in Antarctica...until Bob Saget's comedic spoof Farce of the Penguins - a satire of March of the Penguins - crosses every line when it premieres on DVD January 30, 2007 from THINKFilm, producer David Permut, Permut Presentations and Two Angels Productions. The DVD features hours of edgy entertainment-- including bonus materials such as Commentary by Bob Saget, the featurette "To the Earth's Ice-Hole and Back: a Director's Journey," and much more! The DVD will be available for $19.98 SRP, with a pre-order date of January 4, 2007.

"Who knew penguins were so dirty? They cheat on their wives, get eaten by seals, and hump anything within seventy miles! They're a bunch of dirty little birds," said Saget. "A heartfelt 'thank you' goes out to all my comedic friends who were kind enough to get on board to help me expose the seedy, sordid, sex-slaved world that is penguin life."

Written and Directed by Bob Saget, Farce of the Penguins combines real penguin footage with a roster of hilarious celebrity voice talent including the director himself, Christina Applegate, Lewis Black, Mo'Nique, Tracy Morgan, and cameo voice-overs by: Jason Alexander, Jason Biggs, Dave Coulier, Dane Cook, Adam Duritz, Harvey Fierstein, Gilbert Gottfried, Jamie Kennedy, Jon Lovitz, Norm MacDonald, Carlos Mencia, Jonathan Silverman, John Stamos, Abe Vigoda, Damon Wayans and many more!

"After being exposed to Bob Saget's filthy mind in The Aristocrats, we couldn't wait for an opportunity to work with him again," said Jeff Sackman, President of THINKFilm. "Grab some friends and a copy of Farce of the Penguins on DVD, and get ready to see penguins like you've never seen them before!"

It's mating season...

Meet Carl (Bob Saget) and Jimmy (Lewis Black), two cold penguins on a desperate mission to get themselves some hot booty. After years of empty one-night stands, Carl wants more than a piece of penguin tail. He wants the love of the beautiful Melissa (Christina Applegate). Now it's up to Jimmy to help his neurotic friend win her heart and find his dream girl. The only thing that stands in their way is...a seventy-mile trek across Antarctica. It's a road trip like no other, as these two best bros make their way to a penguin island paradise. From director and comedian Bob Saget, comes a raunchy, yet heart-warming comedy like no other.

Get ready for a stiff and dirty ride! May the FARCE be with you...
