Just like how he was in his cameo in Entourage.
By most accounts I’ve ever come across over the years, he was respected and liked by peers.
Certainly some compassion at the moment of his death would be welcome, if you have the capacity for that kind of thing.
That and being the jovial host of Funniest Home Videos is how ~95% of North America knows Bob Saget.
I remember some comedian woman saying that Bob Saget’s favorite birthday present for women were ultra slim tampons. He’d say “put this prominently in your bathroom that way men will think you’re really tight.”
If that gives you any idea.
It’s been several years since I’ve watched any of his comedy specials, but even when he got really … over the top … I think there was usually at least some hint or signal that he was generally making fun of the grotesque in his own mind and not fully excusing it.
That's like questioning whether the comedian really did have that conversation with his neighbor at the bus stop he mentioned in the set-up before the punchline.
A standup joke doesn't need to be respectful, it only needs to be funny.
Also not sure what’s brave about posting about laughing about something possibly controversial when you don’t care about the consequences. I don’t care if I am down or up voted on anything I post. My self worth is not tied to any social scoring system.
- References to his role in Full House/AFHV (they made him wealthy)
- References to his role in Full House (having sex with a younger cast member)
- References to his role in Full House (cheap shots at the other adult cast members)
- Generally high-shock-value sexual references/innuendo
- Various self deprecating jokes mainly of a sexual deviancy nature
- A not-surprising-in-hindsight large amount of musical bits
- A general not so subtle hint that this, too, is all a facade and that while you may be appalled or interested in this other side of him it’s just as insincere
In fairness, this wasn't his joke or even meant to be funny... it's kind of a comedian test of sorts re: delivery. But you wanted to know how filthy he could get...
