Bob Saget: That Ain't Right

Thread Starter 
I started watching this last night on HBO, after the SOAP premire.

It started off well, then there was a point, I forget where, when every other word Saget says is FUCK. It seemed like he was stumbleing to hold the routine together. Maybe it was part of the act, I don't know. Anyway, I was getting really annoyed, and changed the channel. I was really looking forward to this, I know Saget can be really funny. Maybe it was just my mood. I'll give it another chance sometime.

Did anyone else catch this?

I recorded this and tried watching it this morning. Couldn't get through 15 minutes. It's just an endless stream of "I was on Full House and now I like to curse!" material. Frankly, I expected a little more thought-provoking humor from the director of DIRTY WORK.

I watched the whole thing and didn't laugh once. Very disappointing.

Seemed like his routine was:
1.) Say the word fuck or shit
2.) Point at the crowd and say "Hey man don't fuckin laugh at that shit, cuz that's wrong man!"

If I had to summarize the 2 minutes i watched:

Hey don't you fuckin laugh man fuckin crazy man cuz that's fuckin wrong man my dad was a funny fucker man and mom was a dirty old fuck but seriously fuckin give it up for my fuckin parents fuckin fuckin fuckin fuckin man man fuckin fuckin

Okay. It wasn't just me then.

That last part wadew1 wrote, that's when I changed the channel. It seemed like a genuine onstage breakdown.

I couldn't get through this either, all it seemed to be is, "watch Bob Saget curse, isn't that funny?"

No. Not really.

I pulled the ripcord right around the moment he proclaimed he fucked Kimmy Gibler. If he was going for edgy he should have went with Stephanie instead.

Shame to hear about this. He was pretty funny on NPR yesterday.

I think it was all improv, right? Seemed like he was just riffing on whatever was in his head at the moment.

He also seemed drunk.

It was pretty bad. I turned it off after the bit about his teenage daughter's friends and his penis.

Color me disappointed. The Post hated it so I put it on my "must see" list. But it sounds like they got one right.

I recorded it because of my love for Dirty Work and The Aristocrats and I ended up turning it off 5 minutes in. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

What annoyed me is that he was apologizing after every joke. You say you fucked Kimmy Gibler, or you're making fun of the guy in the second row, leave that hanging in the air, don't follow it up with 'just kidding'. You're a comedian doing comedy, they know it's a joke.

I thought his much-praised bit in the Aristocrats was awful, so I'm not really too surprised. He's filthy, sure, but not clever at all. And he laughs at his own jokes too much, which I can't stand from a comedian(this doesn't apply to the Aristocrats bit so much, as he was flying by the seat of his pants there).

Speaking of Stephanie, how's about some appreciation for her genes not turning her into a mongoloid as a grown up.





Though, she did fall into meth addiction for a while, can't win'em all.

Unfortunately it wasn't improv. I've seen his set in person and it was exactly the same, except his show didn't begin and end with Jamie Kennedy's "Rollin with Saget" song.

It's a little shocking to hear him using the vulgar language at first, but it gets old pretty damn fast. The funny thing is all the mongo's I went to his show with thought it was great (basically because "Danny Tanner" said fuck and talked about fucking chicks).

He says "that's not funny" a lot during it, and he's right. And why won't he "stop it"?

It would've been funnier if he hadn't kept saying "Hey that's wrong! That's not funny! I'm so sorry. I apologize" If you're gonna say some fucked up shit, then say some fucked up shit.

It looked like it wasn't rehearsed at all and he was just making shit up along the way, and he was like a fucking tourette's retard because he'd say some random shit and I'd get lost. I imagine that's what it's like to see Saget on coke.

I admit I laughed at some of it...and it really felt like I was hanging out with Bob Saget for an hour. It made me wish I could just hang out with him and listen to him tell stories.

I think I have the record here, I wasn't able to make it through 60 seconds.

He was funnier in his short segment on Conan O'Brien the other night promoting this shit than he was in the entirety of the show.

Well, two out of six people liked it on Amazon.com

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/cus...ustomerReviews

This guy didn't:

Was really looking forward to this, thinking Saget was a lot funnier once the restraints of network prime time would be off. Wrong. This is a middle-aged man trying desperately to sound like a foul-mouthed one-of-the-guys punk and it's even less funny and more awkward than a real foul-mouthed humorless punk. I enjoy gross humor when it's delivered well, but this is just humorless grossness, purely there for shock value and that tires quickly. What humor there is (and there are a few nuggets in the poop) is poorly delivered in a blast of stream-of-schizoid-consciousness - jabbing and thrusting with arrogant sexual and scatalogical insults, then pulling back with apologies, then thrusting again over the apologies. I never watched Full House so it's not that I'm too shocked he's burying that goodie-two-shoes image. Sad, because he's a quick, witty guy, but not here, not with an hour of prepared material, although it didn't seem very prepared. I can see why the DVD was released at the same time as the TV concert. Once the word is out, nobody will pay good money for this freak show.
