Bob Saget: That Ain't Right

This is probably one of the worst pieces of comedy I have ever seen. He uses the F word, among many other curse words, and disgusting dialog (penis jokes, dogs balls, etc) to get laughs. He has too much of a squeaky clean image to pull off the vulgar comedian. It somehow was funny when Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and now Chris Rock did the vulgar comedy style. Saget could't pull it off.

I always kind of felt sorry for Saget as the 'unfunny' comedian. He has never made me laugh in anything he has done. My friends and I used to mute the TV when he hosted "America's Funniest Home Videos." He was so annoying and distracting, it was better to mute it and listen to music while we watched.

Bob Saget swears a lot in his standup which may be shocking for fans of "Full House" or "America's Funniest Home Videos". His machine gun delivery is laced with swear words like tracer rounds directing the laughter.

I'm not shocked by any swearing. I find his relentless swearing more like a crutch for slightly less funny material. It's like white noise that interferes with the writing. I'm more confounded by the constant laughter from the audience. I didn't watch "Full House" but I don't mind watching some crotch hits on "Funniest Videos". I wonder if his audience is so white bread that they are shocked into laughing by his swearing.

I'm also not a fan of his constant need to reassure the audience that his material isn't real. It keeps stopping the material for me. Instead of reversing on having sex with Kimmy Gibbler, it would funnier to double down on it. At least, it would be more daring. Why not include a donkey? Where's the pedophilia joke? He swears a lot but isn't actually that risqué.

it's strange to me that i hear people saying stuff like "bob saget doesn't want to be seen as the full house guy so much that he forces cuss words out of his mouth and he should stick with the family entertainment" but as far as i can tell bob saget grew up cussing this much and he was putting a sock in it for the job of playing an unrealistic family in full house (unrealistic in part due to lack of cussing). that means that in his stand ups he is expressing himself as himself... also, bob saget's vulgarity is really not more obscene than George Carlin's who wrote in "brain droppings", "How about a tattoo of the Three Stooges peering into your ***hole?" and as far as stand ups go, this was not the best. it made me laugh quite a few times, about as much as an average George Carlin special but it was not as good as George Carlin's "you are all diseased" or something of that caliber. with the crude humor i was reminded of many gross conversations i have had and laughed about in real life and all that good stuff..

Geez, that's another 5 hours of my life that I'll never get back... What? It only SEEMED like 5 hours? Okay. Well, hell, even the audience wasn't laughing that much. If a "comedy" special was ever in need of a laugh track, this was it. At least then maybe I would have felt at least somewhat compelled to chuckle at the stream of consciousness masquerading as jokes that were coming from the mouth of this boring individual.

The lack of a coherent style was painful from the beginning to the end. Also, I simply don't think that trying to say the F word as many times as possible in 5 (10? 20?) minutes counts as even remotely funny. I find it more funny (hilarious even) that people paid to see this talentless hack.

To quote Jon Lovitz: "It SUCKED!"

Wow, I've never paid that much attention to Bob Saget, but when I've seen him before he's been pretty funny, versatile actor and performer and fairly original and funny.

So, I saw Bob Saget: That Ain't Right on my streaming HBOnow channel and thought I would enjoy some comedy. What I saw was what seemed to be an incoherent guy who was apparently convinced that he was or had been a comedian and still "had it" trying to be funny and dirty at the same time.

I watched, and kept watching and minute by minute I felt my life and my patience fading away. Gosh, I am sorry for whatever happened to Bob Saget, but that does not mean I want to be confronted with his problems and mental deficiencies for over and hour in a comedy special that is not funny.

Sorry to break it to you, but as I said, if you are close to normal, which I am not that close to normal, but I don't think an average person with an average sense of humor is going to find watching this comedy special worth your time ,.. especially if you have to pay for it. Don't.
