People who didn't enjoy this will live boring, meaningless lives.


I'm really not surprised at all by the number of people who didn't enjoy this. A majority of this country is a bunch of politically correct morons who gobble up the same old crap the networks keep spoon feeding you. This comedy isn't Steve Carell on The Office, or Dane Cook whoring himself out in every way possible. It's "shock value", which is exactly what Saget tells you like 5 minutes into the show. You can be incredibly shocking and offensive yet clever at the same time, which is exactly what Saget does. I love watching Lewis Black go on some political rant, or the clever delivery style of a comic like Demtri Martin, but sometimes an absurd performance from a Bob Saget or Dave Attell is just what I need. If you sat down to watch Saget thinking you were going to hear some witty jokes about our political situation in Iraq or something than you're either an idiot, over the age of 30, or both. Shock value means its funny because you can't believe somebody actually said that. The comedy isn't so much in the material but in the fact that someone was willing to perform the material. The fact that Saget is coherent of this, and even comments on it throughout the show makes it that much funnier. When he says things like "this is probably my worst material" or asks the audience "why are you laughing at that?" hes essentially making fun of himself. I found the entire routine hilarious. So even if you are some senior citizen tool with an outdated, over sensitive sense of humor, only about half of the show was shock value. What didn't you enjoy about the rest of the performance? The Stamos stories, the Half Baked reference. . .I picture myself in a bathroom urinal with Bob Saget and John Stamos on either side of me "in character" as their Full House counterparts and I crack up. His heckling of the kid in the audience provided great transition between jokes, and the musical aspect was the perfect ending. The Back Street Boys cover was great. So to all you haters out there, keep watching your re-runs of MASH and Cheers, and Friends or whatever crap it is you find funny. Hopefully you'll die of a fart attack caused by the blockage of your own head being up your ass. You'll probably be senior citizens soon and other than the vote you cast every 4 years for the presidential elections, your lives will be irrelevant to the rest of society. For people who enjoy all aspects of comedy, sit down with a beer and watch That Ain't Right. It's hilarious.
