At the London Zoo, a group of penguins were in for a treat as they were given a live reading of jokes. For years, people in Britain have been accustomed to a cheesy joke whenever they reach for a Penguin bar as a snack. In honor of World Penguin Day, McVitie's has asked the British public to vote for the funniest joke found on the packaging of their beloved Penguin snacks, which have been around since 1932. Interestingly, a survey revealed that over 73% of adults always make it a point to read the jokes on their Penguin bars, and a whopping 92% said that these jokes never fail to put a smile on their faces. After polling 2,000 adults, it was finally announced that the nation's favorite Penguin biscuit joke is "What was the name of the Emperor Penguin? Julius Freezer."
To add to the excitement, the top 10 Penguin biscuit jokes of all time were also revealed, and the penguins at the zoo seemed to thoroughly enjoy them. From puns about their icy habitat to clever wordplay, these jokes were sure to make anyone laugh. For instance, "Why do penguins wear glasses? To help their ice-sight!" and "How does a penguin build its house? Igloos it together!" were some of the crowd favorites.
But it wasn't just the zoo penguins who were having a blast on World Penguin Day. The Humboldt penguins at London Zoo's Penguin Beach were also seen having a great time as their keepers treated them to their very own comedy show featuring the top 10 jokes. And it wasn't just about laughs, as the jokes were now accompanied by interesting penguin facts shared by the experts at ZSL.
Adam Woolf, from McVitie's, expressed his excitement saying, "Penguin biscuits, and their famous one-liner jokes, have been putting a smile on the faces of families for decades." It was no surprise when the best Penguin joke turned out to be "Julius Freezer," and it was heartwarming to see the Humboldt penguins at the zoo enjoying them just as much as the rest of the nation. Woolf also highlighted the importance of this day, mentioning that it was a perfect opportunity to celebrate and support the work of ZSL in protecting animals like the Humboldt penguins in the wild.
Speaking of these adorable creatures, Humboldt penguins are native to the coasts of Peru and Chile, and they typically reach a height of just two feet and weigh around 8 pounds. The London Zoo is proud to house a small group of these charming penguins, and they are sure to make anyone's day with their playful antics. So, on this World Penguin Day, let's not only enjoy a good laugh but also learn more about and appreciate these amazing animals and the efforts being made to protect them.
