Bob Saget: That Ain't Right

...because that was how it was for years. He was the butt of a lot of jokes after he took on America's Funniest Home Videos. His complete "world's greatest dad" persona, Full House, all of the sketchy and lame jokes he told. I got it. Some of you did not, however.

If you all missed the point that he was creating, quite brilliantly, I might add, a cult of Danny Tanner on purpose, I feel for ya. Every time this guy told one of his lame jokes, or would have to smile like a paralyzed idiot for the camera, I could see him laughing inside, as if he were thinking, "you f**king losers!" And when he'd have to pretend that cats attempting to flush toilets was the most hilarious thing he'd ever witnessed, I could have sworn he was thinking: "Run that clip of the toddler falling off the trampoline again."

Come on, people, lighten up. He had to deal with that crap for years. So, yes, I quite enjoyed seeing him lash out a bit and being ridiculous. I am sure he needed it. And for what it is worth, it wasn't that bad. He's no pro at stand-up, but he did a pretty solid job. It was funnier than not. And that is more than I can say for a Dane Cook.

I enjoyed it. I recommend it.

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.

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!"

I actually was rather amused by this special. Many people think Bob Saget was going with the vulgarity to show he's not Danny Tanner from Full House. However, he's been doing this kind of comedy for years. His 1990 HBO special's stand segment didn't have as much profanity, but both shows had the same sort of humor, stream of consciousness flow and weird non sequiturs... and a few of the same jokes. Overall, I prefer this special to the old one simply because it doesn't have the dopey framing skits. I did enjoy the last two of his three songs and much of the humor and jokes. Overall, not my favorite special ever but it has a rewatchalibity factor.

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..
