Transcript
(commentary does not start until the theme song is finished)
Ron Smith: Hi, this is Ron Smith. I'm the director of 3-2-1 Penguins!, and I'm here with the whole penguins crew.
Zidgel: Zidgel here; ship's captain.
Midgel: First officer, Midgel here. Ship's pilot and mechanic.
Fidgel: Fidgel here; ship's scientist.
Kevin: This is Kevin. But, I don't do anything.
Fidgel: Hey, who's that on the left?
Zidgel: Oh, a thumb game! I've graded that! Come on, Fidgel! Hrrrr!
Fidgel: Ahh!
Midgel: If we had rink-sized seats, too.
(after Jason turns his head the second time on the table)
Ron Smith: We had to paint out the mark on his forehead after that one.
Zidgel: There we are, crammed in.
Fidgel: I feel they should talk to our agents about the working conditions there.
Zidgel: D'oh, the chicken attack still gives me nightmares! Brrr! And that sinister clucking! It's like I can still hear it!
(after Jason clucks)
Zidgel: Aah! There it is again!
(after Jason says "Help me out")
Midgel: They must have just eaten.
(Jason places the chicken on the ship)
Fidgel: (delighted) Oh, that cozy smoke like Earl Grey.
Zidgel: You mean Earl back at the Academy? Yeah, I remember that guy. Pungeoned as I recall.
Midgel: He's the one who cleaned out the tea tanks.
Fidgel: (dissapointed) Never mind.
Ron Smith: Great ads on that other page.
Ron Smith: Interesting fact, these are actually seedless grapes and Jason had to act like he just bit a seed.
Kevin: Good thing he didn't bite that apple. Look, it's, it's made of wood.
Midgel: Mmmm.
Fidgel: Oh.
Zidgel: Mmmm, yum.
Midgel: I haven't been to a good pumpkin popping since last autumn.
Midgel: We haven't met Trevor yet, have we?
Kevin: Rather enjoy that.
(Michelle saying touchy)
Fidgel: That's pronounced touche.
Kevin: Cute hat.
Zidgel: I say the boy's got an attitude problem.
Kevin: She sounded a little sloshy.
Midgel: Over a seed or star, That's the choice.
Zidgel: Oh, we should've had the shields up for that.
Kevin: Nice save.
Kevin: Who said that, you or the chicken?
Fidgel: What's that one?
Midgel: Microliptus bullamankus.
Fidgel: It's beautiful.
Midgel: Thank you.
Zidgel: (laughs)
Fidgel: Ow! Ow! Please stop doing that.
Kevin: Oh, cowboy buddy!
Kevin: I've got ten gallons of cottage cheese in that hat.
Kevin: What is a derby?
Zidgel: It's where they race hats.
Zidgel: Nice spin move, huh?
Zidgel: (chuckles) That was fun.
Fidgel: Yes, cleaning the laughter, it wasn't fun, though.
Kevin: Yeah.
(Kevin turns the page)
Kevin: Mission accomplished.
(Zidgel screaming "40 Foot Chicken!)
Zidgel: Now that's acting.
Midgel: Swish.
(Midgel speaking on the microphone)
Fidgel: Midgel, why are you speaking into an avocado?
Midgel: Uh, worked better than the banana.
Zidgel: Technically, mine is the only seat on the ship that goes around, you know.
(shows the ship blowing fumes outside that corelate to "Vroom, vroom, vroom")
Midgel: Wasted gas on that.
(Fidgel saying "Feel the beat, Kevin!)
Fidgel: Three weeks of working with Debbie Allen and look what we got.
Midgel: Just a kick for a change would have done there.
Kevin: Don't really remember much for a while after that.
(Kevin asking "Who wants grapes with seeds?)
Fidgel: Grape growers.
Midgel: Remember this point we didn't have a plot?
Kevin: Look where we found it.
Midgel: Yeah, page nine.
Kevin: Would have been a short show.
Midgel: There it is.
Kevin: Should have used some tools.
Midgel: When are you going to clean off that cannon?
Fidgel: I was still flushed from performing my number.
(Kevin playing with his control panel)
Kevin: Right, left, right, left. Honk, honk, honk.
Midgel: You got it.
Fidgel: It's a good thing we missed those rings around Arrinar because they're actually make of melted salt water taffy. Very sticky. Horrible to clean up.
(The Rockhopper crashes on the landing)
Midgel: Misjudged that a... bit.
(Jason remarks the landing was better than last time)
Kevin: Better than missing it all together, I suppose.
(all four penguins in the commentary scream when they saw Uncle Blobb)
Fidgel: That guy was weirder than Brando.
Zidgel: Weird isn't the word.
Kevin: Remember his dressing room?
Fidgel: Oh, terrifying.
Midgel: I think that's pre-programmed music. He's not even hitting the keys.
(after Uncle Blobb finishes the song')
Zidgel: Kinda looks like Zero Mostel.
(Uncle Blobb goes over to the Penguins)
Kevin: His hands must had to broke those seats.
(after Kevin tells Uncle Blobb that they're having a day off and before Fidgel uses the Quantum Spectrum Analyzer)
Kevin: (digusted) Ooh, his breath.
(Uncle Blobb talks about his carnival)
Zidgel: What language was he speaking?
(Uncle Blobb saying "Not at all" while pointing his fingers at Zidgel)
Zidgel: What is with the finger?
(Uncle Blobb reaching for his Blobb Toppers)
Midgel: Didn't seem as ominous then, though.
Zidgel: There's a good view. (snickers a bit)
(Uncle Blobb giving the Blobb Toppers to Zidgel and Midgel)
Fidgel: You know, frankly as he was, he did have an impressive vocabulary.
Ron Smith: Cole de joie means cap of joy.
Midgel: Bah, might as well like a cap of scalp irritation. Ah, I was just in a complaining mood. I mean, we all were, right?
(Midgel not hearing what Jason was saying)
Midgel: I couldn't hear anytime, seriously.
Kevin: We had no idea.
Fidgel: Well, you see, I think the baking win should have brought all this with him.
Zidgel: I don't remember the shuttle ride at all.
Kevin: What's wrong with the w on that sign?
Kevin: How would you know?
Kevin: No smudges.
Midgel: I never did see any of the pumpkin parents. I guess they just dropped them off.
Zidgel: That's my favorite ride.
Kevin: If those kids were any littler, they'd be seeds.
Fidgel: That was fun.
Kevin: That was my favorite ride.
Midgel: Eighteen takes for that one.
Kevin: Well, that was my favorite ride, too.
Zidgel: (laughs) That's a great line.
Kevin: Now that was my favorite ride.
Ron Smith: Very observant of you, Kevin.
Zidgel: This reminds me of when you and I took that road trip to Miami.
Midgel: I forgot about that.
Fidgel: I tried to forget for two years.
Kevin: Don't like that smile.
Zidgel: I'm pretty sure we were all equally dissatisfied at that point.
Zidgel: D'oh!
Kevin: That was a giveaway.
Midgel: Never really smelled like trash for a few hours after that?
Kevin: Not me.
Zidgel: Nice disguise there, Kevin.
Midgel: Thanks for clearing that up.
Kevin: Dispose of the evidence.
Zidgel: Remember meeting that guy at the Rat Party?
Midgel: Yeah, the model 5-J Carnibot is a really nice bloke.
Fidgel: Simply charming.
Zidgel: He's a pretty good juggler, too.
Kevin: Did you get to meet his friend, the blue fellow?
Fidgel: Yes, he was very nice.
Kevin: With the large hammer.
Kevin: There he is.
Midgel: Yeah.
Kevin: Hello.
Fidgel: Midgel, I think you have digital self-resistance before the mechanics of all this.
Midgel: That was common system.
Kevin: Very graceful.
Zidgel: Like a ballet.
(zooms up at Kevin on top of the wall)
Fidgel: How did you get up there?
Kevin: I am Kevin. I've got a good diagonal, too.
Kevin: Tim, I think was his name.
Fidgel: You know, they caught one of his lies. He's actually a funny man.
Kevin: Yes.
Kevin: When we got there, he didn't have any cords as I didn't have any cords. Connected two of them.
Kevin: Must have been a raspberry seed.
Zidgel: I don't remember any of this. I think I was in my trailer.
Midgel: I was practicing the song.
Fidgel: That was actually pretty fun.
(Uncle Blobb tosses Fidgel and Kevin in the apple ride)
Fidgel: Well, except for that part.
Kevin: Right.
Kevin: That also means everyone leaves.
Midgel: He's got some far moves.
Midgel: Lame arcade, though.
(shows President No-I'm-The-President hurling in the arcade screen)
Zidgel: Oh, that's President No-I'm-The-President.
Ron Smith: He usually shows up for a day or so in the shoot.
Ron Smith: We had to turn that planet so you can see the rings.
Midgel: That stunt double of Kevin looks kind of like him, don't it?
Zidgel: (laughs) Fire!
Kevin: Fire!
Fidgel: I can see you've done better.
Midgel: The rocket pack, it was fun between takes, wasn't it?
Kevin: Yeah.
Fidgel: I felt like James Bond.
Fidgel: Fire!
Fidgel: Hey!
Zidgel: I'm just glad I took some travelmene before I took a ride on that thing.
Fidgel: I told you I could do my own stunts.
Midgel: I thought you were enjoying that too much.
Fidgel: This penguin was made to fly.
Kevin: That was close.
Fidgel: The only one.
Midgel: You were guessing at that point, weren't you?
Fidgel: No, I was not.
Midgel: You were.
Fidgel: I was very careful at rehearsing.
Midgel: That was totally half-hazard.
Fidgel: That was acting.
Ron Smith: For the first couple of takes, that thing just heaved.
(Fidgel grabs Jason as he gives a glaring look)
Fidgel: That's my Clint Eastwood look.
(Uncle Blobb running away from Kevin)
Ron Smith: We had to- we had to tail him off every take.
(Jason tell Fidgel to put him down after his rocket was taken off)
Fidgel: Oh!
(Jason talks to to everyone on Arrinar to stop complaining)
Fidgel: Do you remember those canisters?
(Jason telling everyone to be thankful)
Midgel: That was a high-powered microphone.
Ron Smith: It's a cartoon.
(Arrinar starts glowing)
Ron Smith: The planet was just a lot closer than you think.
Midgel: Right, perspective.
Ron Smith: Oh.
Zidgel (cries a bit): This scene still brings a tear to my eye!
(Jason saying "Be thankful, for everything!)
Kevin: Very Pink Floyd.
(Kevin falls off the apple ride)
Kevin: Ow.
(Zidgel in his seed of discontent form)
Zidgel: See, even in seed form, you can't deny the do.
Kevin: Nice catch.
Kevin: There's his trailer.
Zidgel: Yeah, that's the last time someone pulls that gag on me.
Midgel: They say you can tell a lot about a man by the car he drives.
Midgel: Resolution music.
Kevin: Remember all the graffiti on the back of that billboard?
Zidgel: That's why they gave me the big bucks.
Zidgel: Now I shouldn't have tried so hard to nail it down for him.
Midgel: Yeah.
Kevin: He's right!
Midgel: How does he get his eyebrows to do that?
Fidgel: It's an inborn talent.
Midgel: One tie in the other.
Kevin: Make you self conscious. Remember when Blue Man Group played those tunes?
(Jason eats a seeded grape)
Fidgel: That's actually a watermelon seed. The grape seed wouldn't show up on camera.
