What it’s about. Mockumentary history lesson for alien viewers in the future, this follows the evolution of humans from Modern Man (Homo Sapiens) to Muffin Man (Homo Twinkus) while also following a love story between our central figure and his love interest. It's Boy meets girl, Boy fights ex boyfriend, Boy has an encounter with one too many donuts. This mock doc pieces together the story of mankind's extinction by consumption and obesity thru the travails of one young typical every man. Part Discovery Channel, Part Monty Python, this comedy is campy but also frightening look at the obesity epidemic and how the way man lives in the present day ultimately led to his own extinction.
