Bob Saget gets dirty

by Adam Finley, posted Aug 11th 2005 6:30PM

When Bob Saget came into the mainstream via hit shows like Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos he was slammed as being the poster boy for bland, safe humor, personifying the kind of man you could invite to dinner at grandma's house and not worry he might offend her. Some of us, however, knew better. We knew him from his earlier stand-up days when his act was so vulgar, so subversive, that watching it in the wake of a Full House marathon was like watching Jesus himself suddenly pull off his mask to reveal that, yes, he was in fact Satan. Nowadays Saget is getting some notoriety for doing what he always did best, appearing in decidedly "non-Full House" roles in movies and TV, including Entourage and Half Baked. Now that Full House, or as I like to call it, "Bob Saget's eight-year vacation from himself" is behind him, it's time we all got to know the real Bob.

I read an article that said "Bob risks his squeaky clean image" by telling the raunchiest version of the Aristocrats joke. Wha??? Have they seen his stand-up?

When Ned Flanders is a fan of yours...you know that your act needs some fresh blood.
