BBC Sports Commentator Uses His Skills To Turn A Penguin Parade Into A Hilarious Race

BBC Sports Commentator Uses His Skills To Turn A Penguin Parade Into A Hilarious Race
The penguins entertain thousands of visitors every year with their antics (Visit Victoria)

Everyone is going a little stir crazy with a lack of sports.

So, one BBC Sport commentator took it upon himself to keep us entertained.


Andrew Cotter narrated a penguin walk in lockdown since he can't really narrate anything else.


This was after going viral for narrating different antics his labradors, Olive and Mabel, have gotten into.

The first video featured the pups competing during lunch hour.

Olive was the winner.

They even had a company Zoom meeting.

The Phillip Island's penguin parade in Victoria, Australia, has been a sight to many through the years. Penguins waddle every day, and he turned the event into a race.

“I knew all about the penguins of Phillip Island before this and have visited Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road or Mornington Peninsula every year for the past 15 years," Cotter said.

“I love it all down there so this was a natural fit."

The daily parade of penguins, who waddle from the shoreline to their burrows, attracts thousands of visitors to Phillip Island Nature Park every year.

“The penguins are quite comfortable in front of an audience as they are used to doing their nightly waddle in front of visitors at the penguin parade, but this kind of global recognition goes above and beyond," Catherine Basterfield, the park's chief executive, said.

“The penguins never fail to entertain with their antics, and Andrew's wonderful wit has captured this beautifully."

State officials have announced plans to inform visitors that if they’re alarmed by the pause in SNAP benefits beginning November 1 due to the shutdown, they should direct their frustration at the Republican Party.
