For years it seemed that Bob Saget’s character Danny Tanner on Full House was the perfect father. The poor man’s late wife, Pam died from a car accident with a drunk driver and Danny was left to raise D.J., Stephanie and Michelle by himself. We saw him discipline, care for, talk to and unconditionally love his three daughters which put us under the impression that he was a family friendly, genuinely nice man. One of the other experiences we had with Bob Saget was when he hosted America’s Funniest Home Videos. Even as host of that series he seemed like a G-rated dude. Apparently Bob Saget is one of the greatest actors of that decade because boy did he have us fooled. While we were thinking Danny Tanner was a superb father who loved his daughters and was obsessed with cleaning and having a spot free home, we didn’t realize the dirty potty mouth that he had on him. Let it be known that Bob Saget is about as far away from his Danny Tanner character as he can possibly be. What’s the biggest difference? Saget curses. And when I say curses, I mean he says every bad word in the book and he says them often in his standup. It’s amazing to see for the first time. All you knew was Danny Tanner from Full House and one day you randomly see that same man talking about performing oral sex for drugs in the movie, Half Baked. Or you see him playing himself and paying for “escorts” on Entourage. Or you could simply catch one of his standup acts in which you’d hear him cuss like a sailor. Regardless of how you found out, it’s safe to say you were shocked to find out that Bob Saget is not for kids.
Below is a video featuring Saget singing a song titled, “Danny Tanner Was Not Gay” during a stand up.
WARNING: This video has footage of Danny Tanner cussing and it WILL ruin your childhood:
I thought this was going to be a post on John Posey, the guy who originally played Danny Tanner in the unaired pilot. But Bob is such a good actor that he had that guy killed and convinced the whole Tanner family he was the real Danny. Or maybe John Posey just sucked in the role. I haven’t decided yet.
Haha this is so true. Bob Saget is the man. He is great in Entourage
His roast on comedy central very nearly ruined my childhood
I couldn’t shower enough of the gross ruined-childhood-memories feeling off of myself after I watched Bob Saget’s standup. i felt dirty for about a week, and was scarred for months! But the Danny Tanner song was f-ing hilarious!
I always wondered… being that Danny was Jewish and his late wife was Greek… They had 3 blonde, English looking children…. I think Joey was hittin that hahaha
Lmao @ amber
I noticed a few months ago that he played the girl’s father in Dumb and Dumberer. You know, the guy who walks into the bathroom and… yeah, him.
I would say this completely ruined my childhood, but this related video already had me halfway there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocj_sGKFOIA
