Synopsis[edit]
- In this nature documentary, we see the dregs of the animal kingdom. This includes the beluga whales and narwhals, marine iguanas, mandrills, woodpecker finches, and praying mantises. But not penguins.
Plot[edit]
In a documentary about The Dregs of the animal kingdom, the first species presented are the beluga whale and the narwhal, resembling Homer and Marge. As summer nears its end, they separate, since they are different species, and the narwhal promises him that she'll never forget him. Their friends ask what they've done together and begin singing, but the narwhal tells them she'll never see him again.
Elsewhere, the next creature is the marine iguana, which endangers his offspring by laying eggs on the most dangerous beach in the world, demonstrated when one of them (resembling Milhouse) gets eaten by snakes. Teachers resembling Chalmers and Skinner gather the young around to teach them how to survive. The first assignment is to reach the safety of the rocks they're standing on. One of them, resembling Martin, volunteers but fails once he starts moving and gets noticed. Next, two others, resembling Nelson and Bart, try by letting other iguanas get eaten instead. The Bart lookalike sacrifices the others to reach victory, which earns him a life on a rock with the teachers. He then decides it is better to commit suicide than live that life.
Back in the Arctic, the beluga whale misses his narwhal, when a school of fish resembling Moe tells him to remember there are plenty of them in the sea, so he eats and thanks them. The fish give him more advice, and the whale goes off to search for her. Meanwhile, in the rainforest, the mandrill, resembling Ned, lives with his family. When the cameraman approaches, his sons ask if humans descend from them. He denies it, saying they're made in God's image. When they question it further, he declares that from now on, they'll be tree-schooled. His sons try to walk on two legs and get scolded again.
Back in the Arctic, the narwhals reach their destination, and the whale finds his love and her father, who questions why she stayed with him the whole time. The whale says he left his pod because it was killed by killer whales. Her father, resembling Wolfcastle, agrees to let him join the pod, but only if he behaves to blend in. He immediately fails, grabbing one of them, resembling Ralph, to scratch his itchy back. They head out to catch food, but the whale starts deflating due to the pressure, so the narwhal inflates him again with a kiss through their spiracle.
Next, in South Africa, the narrator tries to talk about penguins, but Morgan Freeman interrupts him. The next species is the woodpecker finch, where a finch resembling Lisa teaches others how to dig ants out of holes more efficiently using a twig. The other finches pay her with regurgitation and build a sort of science building. She proposes a bigger twig, calling it a stick, but cries for help are soon heard— all ants and trees are gone because they ate and used them. Technology is blamed, so they try their luck by moving to the Amazon, not the rainforest, but a Fulfillment Center.
The whale and narwhal arrive at the narwhal's secret favorite place to eat and then begin to mate. The next species is the praying mantis, resembling Kirk and Luann. The male finds the female eating another male and complains about coworkers laughing at him for not getting any. She proposes they do it right there and then beheads him before sex. He asks her to at least take his body to work. Back at the pod, the whale and narwhal share food and announce their marriage, but his old mates arrive and reveal his lie—the pod was never slaughtered. The rest of the pod gets angry and leaves them alone with the lie.
The narwhal feels sad about what happened, but after talking with her mother, she decides not to give up. She meets the fish, who tell her he went to the Oceanland water park. The fish say they are still there for her if she needs anything, but she declines and eats them as she migrates to find him again. He's doing a sad show at the park and asks the orcas, resembling bully children, to kill him. They refuse, saying the rumor started from his story. Suddenly, he hears the narwhal's howls. She calls out to him and gives him another chance. He tries to do a jump over the basin but fails, killing the instructor. He gets transported by helicopter and is freed. In the end, fifteen months later, they have a baby together resembling Maggie, creating a new species, and let her watch (and then use as a pacifier) Krustacean the Clown.
