* MoodWhiplash: While he wasn't especially fond of the wholesome image he got from ''Full House'' and ''America's Funniest Home Videos,'' he at least enjoyed the reactions he gets from people who only know him as wholesome sitcom dad Danny Tanner when they realize he's actually a ''very'' vulgar comic as well.

* [[NWordPrivileges J Word Privileges]]: "John and I see this woman's car get hit, and it spun around, like three times, and I made a wish, which is what I do when I see [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning something spinning]]. And then I sang 'The Dreidel Song'."

Bob Saget is a comedian and actor known for [[TastesLikeDiabetes diabetes-tasting family friendly television]] and [[VulgarHumor scatological standup performances]]. After mild success as a standup comic and some television hosting, he was cast on the television series ''Series/FullHouse'' as single father Danny Tanner. He also took up hosting ''Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos''.

After ''Full House'' ended, he did some less family-oriented things, like directing the [[Creator/NormMacDonald Norm [=MacDonald=]]] comedy ''Film/DirtyWork'' and cameoing in ''Film/HalfBaked'' to deliver the [[MemeticMutation memetic]] (largely due to the fact that it's ''Bob Saget'' saying it) line "Marijuana's not a drug, I used to suck dick for coke!"

* CareerResurrection: Saget mostly faded into obscurity after ''Full House'' ended, but made a comeback in the mid-2000s by portraying dirty, fictionalized versions of himself in JamieKennedy's comedy rap song "Rollin' With Saget'' and {{Entourage}}.

* OldShame: Saget views his previous "family-friendly" roles on ''Full House'' and ''America's Funniest Home Videos'' as this. In his later years of hosting AFHV, especially after ''Full House'' ended, Saget grew visibly frustrated with his squeaky clean persona and happily left the show after his contract expired in 1997.
** In ''That Ain't Right'', Bob asks the audience, "Ask me what my favorite ''Full House'' episode was." The audience does, and he responds, "The last one."
** While ''Full House'' itself was not something he was very proud of, the cast members all remained very close and kept in contact well after it ended. Saget himself talks about how he witnessed a car accident while spending time with John Stamos and could only imagine the confusion of the participants to see "Danny and Uncle Jesse" trying to help out.

** Later, he directed a [[DirectToVideo Direct-to-TV]] movie called ''For Hope'' which is a movie inspired by his sister's struggle and defeat over scleroderma. To add to the movie, he founded and is one of the board members for the Scleroderma Research Foundation. This shows just how damn serious about scleroderma.

* BewareTheNiceOnes / IAmNotSpock: If your grandmother liked ''FullHouse'', keep her away from Bob's standup special.

* HoYay:[[invoked]] "I still don't know what the premise of [[FullHouse the show]] is. Three guys living together in San Francisco? Draw your own conclusion."

* AdamWesting: On ''SaturdayNightLive'', Saget gives an autograph to a child fan (though the "autograph" turns out to just be a string of dirty words since Saget was exhilarated to be on a show where he could actually use them), who asks for his pen back afterwards; Bob refuses, then reveals that the interior of his jacket is lined with pens stolen from the many kids who sought his autograph.

Saget later appeared in the documentary ''Film/TheAristocrats'', delivering one of the filthiest versions of [[TheAristocrats the joke]] in the film, and toured with a filthy standup act which was filmed by HBO as ''That Ain't Right''. He appeared on ''{{Entourage}}'', spoofed ''March Of The Penguins'' with ''FarceOfThePenguins'' and was [[TheRoast roasted]] by Creator/ComedyCentral.

* HiddenDepths: Despite being primarily a [[ToiletHumor blue comedy-style comic]], he has directed movies (besides ''Farce of the Penguins'').

* LemonyNarrator: Of ''HowIMetYourMother.''

* BewareTheNiceOnes: If your grandmother liked ''FullHouse'', keep her away from Bob's standup special.

* LemonySNarrator: Of ''HowIMetYourMother.''
