What's with Bob Saget?

[thegimp03]

His routine is funny, at sometimes it's over the top though. It's making up for all those years he spent on Full House being the nice guy dad.

Hmm... why would he play a wholesome dad on a primetime sitcom? Maybe it was... the money?

I don't remember him being that dirty on stage. At least not four-letter-word-type of dirty. He did some more risque stuff than on TV, obviously, but I don't remember him being like Eddie Murphy.

This past weekend I watched his take on the Aristocrats on the DVD extras. Fucking hilarious. His innovative impromptu vulgarities seemed very natural; not forced at all. Haven't seen his standup routine, so I can't comment on that.

Yea he was lame on Full House but it's done a lot to bolster his name recognition, as we all remember him for that role.

yes, aristocrats with him is very funny... almost as funny as the mime..... check youtbue.

His dirtiness is natural. His character on Full House was unnatural. But his material kind of blows, so I guess that's why it didn't seem natural.

Damn dude, he's acting. This is like questioning why Toby Maguire isn't some reclusive, introverted nerd like he was in Spiderman.

OHHH BOB SAGET!

Tourettes guy is one of the funniest dudes ever, I don't care that the videos had some scripted parts. Shit's still awesome. BOB SAGET!

I guess what I mean is if his stand up represents the type of individual he is, interesting, why would he choose to take on the TV roles he has, blow your brains out corny.

The same reason as every other actor - money. Lots and lots of money.

yep. im pretty sure hes actually been open about that. money....lots of money. so he makes money, and still gets to do whatever kind of stand up he likes on the side.
