I used to watch FH and America's Funniest Home Videos when I was a kid. I caught Saget's stand up a few years ago (I think it was on late-night Comedy Central), and I was shocked to hear what a dirty, foul mouthed bastard he is.
Don't get me wrong: I think he's hilarious :) But it's still weird watching a guy you grew up with, and identify as a wholesome father figure, talking about felching, oral sex and beastiality on live TV.
(We won't go into his spot on the Aristocrats :)
I felt the same way with George Carlin--who I previously only knew as Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station

It doesn't bother me now, since I know that was always his main thing. But like I said, I must have been around 13 or 14 when I first saw his "real" act, and I grew up with Danny Tanner. It was just weird...

I felt the same way when I went to see his stand up live last winter. He is hilarious, but I kept looking at him and would have flashbacks of him sitting down with DJ talking about her first kiss. Funny!

Sorry to spoil things for you but, he was always known to be a raunchy, blue comic who told very dirty, nasty jokes. Sagat was giving an opportunity not to change his act, per say, but to actually star in a sitcom where he would take top billing. That did work but, like you who only saw Full House and AFV, have never had a clue into what he really was all about. Him and Carlin are both blue -colored comics who performed on the circuits with their nasty, adults only material.
I mean, on Full House, he played a Dad who was widowed with three kids, a brother-in-law and a best friend to help him raise his children. Of course he had to be "that" person on t.v., the one you like so much in order for him to have a successfull show on for a long time and to get money from it on syndication.
Now, he could do things like "The Aristocrats" because, that's what he likes to do: raw, sexually explicit material.

I hate Bob Saget willingness to artwork on horribly undesirable television courses, yet He would not write the crap so killing him does no longer serve any advantageous purpose. could refuse on that one. the persons who write and watch crap television could locate somebody to replace him rapidly adequate. Dave Coolier everyone, brrr. 'struggling with' Hitler could regulate historical past in a super way. the outcomes would wipe out the existence of almost all people born after the mid 1930's. Me you and all people else is the consequences of a particular load being blown right into a particular hollow at a particular 2nd. regulate any of that and you get an entire distinctive result, pardon the pun. to no longer say there does no longer be everyone else, only that there could have been an entire distinctive crop of persons who does no longer comprise me or everyone from my era or my mothers and fathers era. call me egocentric, yet i opt for to proceed latest, thank you.

In a way it was because Bob Saget was funny becuase he was just so pathetic on Full House and AFV... he was like a punchline for any joke. Now that I know thats not his real personality he doesn't have that kind of humor value anymore.

I saw the Aristocrats thing... it was funny!!!
Full House got that poor guy typecast like you wouldn't believe, it was probably hard for him to be taken seriously as a comedian after that so he had to get raunchy with it. It doesnt offend me at all, hell I think it redeemed him. At least hes not as bad as Andrew Dice Clay.

I wasn't distubed, but definitely shocked! I grew up watching Full House and it just wasn't the same humor and I find him extremely obnoxious!

Yes. Yes, I was. But now I pretty much assume that comedians are pretty raunchy in their stand-up when compared with their movies/tv shows.
