Bob Saget's comedy act is distasteful, sleazy

Monday, March 24, 2008 10:54 AM EDT

Talk about being bad. “Bob Saget: That Ain't Right” recently aired on HBO, has absolutely the right title, because his entire one-man comedy show contained absolutely nothing but four-letter words and gutter humor, and that's definitely not right. Mr. Saget, always looked at as a fine father-figure and a person of impeccable character on “Full House,” has shown himself as a completely different person humor wise. He spews profanity the entire duration of the show. Comedy? Are you kidding me? It's more like torture. How many times does one have to hear four-letter words and find humor in them time after time? It's sickening.
Who wrote this comedy material Bob Saget is using? Who else but Bob Saget. Talk about going from the top of the heap to the bottom. Mr. Saget has done a good job of doing that. Never again can one think of him as the charismatic, affable, loving father of three girls on “Full House.” Now, by his own choosing, he has entered into the Top 10 Kings of Sleaze. How pathetic.

Mr. Saget has shown himself in the past as a very talented performer. Aside from starring on that No. 1 rated TV show, “Full House,” for years, he also has emceed numerous other shows. So why Mr. Saget chose to become the king of four-letter words thinking that type of humor is appealing to the masses, is quite strange indeed.

If anything can be taken out of this, it's just that celebrities aren't always what they seem. Obviously, too many of them are Jekyll and Hyde types.

And that's a shame because there is something about that nice guy TV image that's appealing. Most people watching shows like “Full House,” would like to be a nice guy, like Bob Saget came across as while raising his family and having a funny, good time doing it.

There's nothing good about humor using gutter language in verse or song. Anybody using it has no class and lacks imagination for what's really funny.

Bob Saget, you're not appealing any more.

" Here's something to think about: Past all the cursing, etc, some folks - me included - think Saget is hilarious. One man's trash is another man's treasure, or whatever.

" Does your TV set have a channel button? Then change it! Or shut it off. I don't think anybody took your remote and tied you down and forced you to watch this show. But you want control over my viewing? Forget it. "

" Sorry Murray, but on the Tv show he WAS acting or doing his job as an actor!

Though I do agree-many movies or shows could do without overly cussing, you have the right to turn the channel.

I hear Born on the 4th of July WAS a good movie but after the constant F-this and that, I shut off the movie and returned it to the video store!

OH MY GOD! Public figures are possibly NOT like they are portrayed on television?!

" I think Bob Saget is very funny. Much funnier and interesting than any of the diatribes spewed from the cess pool you call a mind, Murray. "

" Oh please Murray, you really need to get the internet. Saget has always been a "blue" comedian. You see, he was an ACTOR on Full House, which means he acted. "

" Good grief, Murray. If you don't like it, don't watch it. If you're getting your panties in a bunch over Bob Saget, you've finally gone over the edge. "
