The highlights in this filthy spoof of the family-friendly doc March of the Penguins: wildlife ''action'' sequences and narrator Jackson's use of the word testicle. Silly EXTRAS feature an interview with director Saget and clips of actors (including most of the Full House cast!) recording expletive-laced dialogue. Farce of the Penguins is stock footage ''literally slapped together,'' Saget says in his self-deprecating commentary. ''It's kind of like a porn film.'' And if you doubt him, watch the deleted scenes featuring one well-endowed penguin.
