RIP Bob Saget

Can't believe it, and I can't believe he was 65. I'll never forget seeing his standup in college for the first time and seeing a very different Bob Saget from Full House

Dang, what a bummer.  I only knew him as Danny Tanner from Full House and Future Ted from How I met Your Mother, but I thought he played his roles really well in those.

If you haven't checked out his standup do so, just be prepared to hear some very vulgar comedy.

I loved him as a comedian more than anything and this is such a punch to the gut for me. Not often I get such wind taken out of my sails but this definitely did it. God damn it.

We did go see the Full House house when we were in San Francisco a few years ago.

Watched a ton of Full House as a kid. His random scene in Half Baked is hilarious. Sad to see him go

I vaguely recall having heard of half-baked, but I couldn't tell you who's in it, and I doubt I ever saw it.

Full House premiered when I was almost 20.  I wasn't in the demographic and never watched it (although I knew Saget was the lead).  I caught AFHV every now and then, but it became stupid really quick.  I knew Saget as the voice of older Ted on How I Met Your Mother.

Do we know anything about cause of death?  The initial report said no evidence of foul play or drug use.

I too was not in the Full House demographic; I was (and am) a Stamos fan, but I dislike kids in TV sitcoms, so that angle didn't work for me.  I didn't know at the time that Dave Coulliet was the impetus for "Jagged Little Pill", that angle wasn't there.  In hindsight, though, and knowing what I know now about Saget, that performance of Danny Tanner was sort of inspired. 

You've got to figure it's one of the big three:  cocaine, heart, suicide, and since the first was ruled out, it only leaves the other two.  He did, reportedly, post some creepy (in hindsight) stuff about the afterlife, so maybe the remaining two are still on the table.

Initial autopsy has ruled out "foul play" so does that mean suicide?  I think so.

BTW, Tim…Bob Saget used to be on a show called America’s Funniest Home Videos. Not sure if you’ve heard of it….but it was sortof like YouTube before the internet with “dad joke” commentary.

I was just thinking about Bob Saget today and what a completely “bipolar” career the guy had.

I defy you to name any other comedian who ended up being (almost) equally high profile career as both a “family show” and an over the top raunch guy. It’s unheard of. It would be like if Andrew Dice Clay had a mega-hit Nickelodeon show that was just as popular as The Diceman character.

I didn't put it that way, but that's sort of why I said Danny Tanner was "inspired".  I think the two sides played off each other as he got older, and it made both that much more "funny".   IMO.

That's the AristoCATS.  Very different film.   :lol

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aristocrats

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aristocats



Here - just watch.  So many comics.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giozZbTVua0
The Aristocrats is a fantastic film (not for you, TAC), and definitely my favorite film appearance of Saget, who was a genius of filth. 

I hated Full House, and didn't care for him on AFV (which didn't realize its full potential until the Tom Bergeron years), but as a raunch comic, Saget had no equal.

RIP
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

While he did have some “blue” material, I don’t consider him to be nearly on the same level as Dice, or Sam Kinison…etc etc

Bob Saget was considered to be in that league AFAIK.

Yeah, just offering something similar but not exactly the same.
