Bob #$%*&#ing Saget
“A lot of people ask me what my favorite episode of Full House was. I always tell them: it was the last one,” is a quote from today’s birthday boy Bob Saget.
At one time, he was on two television programs in the 1980s. He was part of the cast of Full House and the host of American’s Funniest Home Videos. These wholesome shows must have somehow warped his brain, because Bob is now considered one of the dirtiest comics working the circuit.
His stand-up act is so filthy that I couldn’t find one instant that could be reprinted without offending someone. His HBO comedy special That Ain’t Right is about disgusting acts done to farm animals. The it goes off the deep end into dark material.
He said that if he did the act without all the expletives, it would have been 40 seconds long. On performing for college audiences, Bob said, “They go nuts. They flash their boobs. And that’s just the guys.”
His most recent gig is the narrator on How I Met Your Mother. To get an idea of how Bob Saget’s mind works, check out the 2005 documentary film The Aristocrats. It is the most nauseating telling of the joke one could ever imagine.
Bob Saget is so funny and “off”. When I started as a comedian in the early 80s, I was his opening act many times at the Dallas Comedy Corner. This was pre Full House and Saget was uncensored onstage. His jokes came at a rapid pace. His timing was a bit different than other comedians and he was very twisted. He was also a very nice guy off stage and very fun the hang out with at the club. We had nights where we would try to out do each other in disgusting comments and jokes. He always won. Saget is awesome.
