[NOTE: somehow the original post got lost. It was brilliant, filled with witty writing and cutting insights. The writing below has none of those things.]
I had the good fortune, or something, to see Bob Saget do standup in Denver. Going to the show wasn't my idea, but I was strangely curious to see Danny Tanner do dirty jokes.
Most of the show was Saget riffing on how he's really a dirty old man, and how fucked-up it was he was on Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos, where he became kind of a symbol for the worst of family-friendly TV.
The show was funny, although the theme ran out of steam before he finished. The jokes tended to have punchlines such as the one used for the title of this post.
However, one thing Saget does have is a sense of how to handle an audience. The opening acts had some funnier jokes, but they certainly didn't have the presentation down, and got fewer laughs than Saget got for anything he said. It's clear the man has spent a lot of time on stage.
However, I just couldn't stop thinking of him on Full House, which, I guess, was the point. And for those of you wondering: Saget says "Danny Tanner was not gay." Saget sings it, actually. It's his finale.
