Oh My! Flying Penguins!

By Emz • May 4, 2008

Now, some of you may have been ‘in the know’ during April Fools Day, and already discovered/encountered this BBC video, but nevertheless, it’s still worth a watch!

To those that aren’t in the know, this is just a short clip of a fake documentary regarding flying penguins! Honestly, if you have 1 minute and 31 seconds to spare you really should give it a go.

I realise April Fools Day was a long time ago now… but still. Just watch it already!

Haha, that video is always great to watch, I can’t believe so many people fell for it lol.

Ne! Actually, I didn’t see that. LOLZ.

They were so cute when they hopped up onto the ice, and when they started “flying”, I snorted.

Thank you for making my day a little more interesting. XDD

@ Emma

I only found it through someone else linking to the YouTube page, so I wasn’t actually too aware if people had ‘fallen’ for it or not!

I would have loved to have seen it on TV where the usual BBC goopyness is plonked between a program ending, and another beginning. I would have been so confused!

I know, I just love how realistic (and cute) they made it look! Particularly when they land in the rain forest - I snorted too!

I’m glad they made it. Because although it’s made to be a ‘joke’ to ‘fool’ people (I suppose), it’s doesn’t make you feel like a fool when you watch it. Well it doesn’t do that to me! I smile at the cuteness of ‘flying’ penguins. Adorable ickle things!

Hey Destiny, YouTube must have farted when you tried because it’s working now perfectly for me.

I do suggest you try again - it’s worth the watch, I promise! It’s more cute than anything!
Destiny May 7th, 2008 at 9:41 pm

It definitely must have farted because it said it was not available at that time. But anyways… just watched it, it’s very very cute. Commercials are so creative nowadays.

Bah, that’s servers for you! I wonder if YouTube is ever working at 100%?!

I’m glad you got to see it! Maybe it’s my strange fondness for penguins that has made be over zealous to have people watch the video!

Exactly! Some commercials are well before their time sometimes, it’s incredible!

Thanks for stopping by a second time!
