That show was TV saccharine; sweet, no calories and cancerous over prolonged exposure. Wow, what a difference 30 years makes. America has lost its way, its guts and its sense of humor. In the 70’s the celebrity roasts were much better, dirtier and on the air longer than they are now. They used to feature A-list comic talent as well, not just who ever was cheap that week for comedy central.
I don’t have much sympathy for the 2 midget B*ll*o*a*res at all, not that they deserved to be rough-shod over- but it s all meant in good humor.
-
Ah yeah, there’s bawdy humour but then there’s repeated digs at being a child molester - just to get at two young girls who worked hard and whose parents invested well.

I am lost on Jessica’s post. Am I missing something?

Bob Saget often makes raunchy comments about underaged girls in his routines. From the first time I saw one of his skits in the early 80’s he did that. Really, the roast comments would fit into his sense of humor or at least the one he’s been making moeny off of. He is really nasty and gross so why shouldn’t his roast be?
Jessica’s post was the Full House theme song.
-
Jaybird - I *think* the original airing of the roasts are uncensored (and usually shown late at night). You may get to see/hear all the jokes and the reactions they got in their entirety.
-
I still can’t believe how beautiful Candace Cameron is! Wow!
-
Pretty tame roast jokes to me. But the few roasts I’ve seen televised have gone to crap in the PC department.
Bob Saget is infamous for his dirt comic routine, and even doing some of it between takes on the show with Dave Coulier (who himself seems to have a fetish for young girls - Alanis you hearing this?). Those jokes aren’t nearly as bad as some of the crap they’ve spewed so I don’t get why he’s so damn uptight about it.
-
Never could stand Gilbert Gottfried. He’s as annoying as is possible. His comment that they could cry in their money is pure jealousy; just because their handlers were wise and didn’t screw them over, leaving them with money that was made from work they did, they should be sneered at? They’ve worn plenty of questionable clothing that allows for smirkage. The money isn’t an issue…I haven’t heard them whine they are mistreated because they are rich, like some idiots have. I don’t know…I don’t even care for them…I’m neutral…but, dayum, sounds like a bunch of beyond the line the stuff is coming up. Too bad.
And Bob Saget never was funny, crude or not. He sucks.
-
The jokes aren’t over the top. Now, the jokes at the Pam Anderson roast were over the top.
-
But, Pam actually handled her roast very well…and I love it when a celebrity can take the piss out of themselves.
Bob Saget’s crude routine seems to be a reaction to his days as a wholesome dad, so it’s just kinda sad. Then to actually complain that some of the jokes were over the top(has he ever seen a roast?), that is the final layer on the pathetic cake. Sorry, Bob. Career Fail. -
Daisy, that was the theme song to the show.. It is now stuck in my head for the remainder of the day!!! Thought I would try to share the pain and get someone else brain froze too! : )
-
Daisy, Jessica’s post is the song played during the opening of Full House.

The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV?**Haha!!I always thought it was the milk man the paperboy and even MTV!!!!!
When I was little I loved that show and would sing the theme song when it came on….and that’s what I sang…..lolol!!
-
Thanks everyone, I have never seen the show
-
Don’t be embarrassed, Daisy - wear that distinction like a badge of honor! I watched maybe 2 or 3 episodes, and I knew even then it was crap.
-
jokes are jokes, he’s probably only sensitive because some of them are true, they should crack on meth head jodi sweeten, what’s up with her outfits? always wrong
-
You know, I can kind of see his point. Yes, it’s a roast, and yes, they’re raunchy. However, he’s known those girls since they were 9 months old. They are the same age as his own children, and he’s said that he thinks of them as his family, his kids. So, to make molestation jokes is just icky…I think if the Olsen twins had been 17 or 18 when the show was being produced, Bob’s reaction would have been different. The fact is, though, they were barely 8 when the show ended. So yeah, I see his point.
-
Fair enough, I’d never really heard of this guy and not seen the programme. It’s highly unlikely that I’ll see this as it takes forever for me to watch anything on youtube and I can’t generally watch streams from the TV websites.
So the humour is roughly on par with his usual routine - perhaps it was because the Olsens were the butt of every single joke. Then instead of being general obsession with teenage girls, it was being completely directed at two specifics?
So, if this was the case, these ould farts were using Bob Saget’s “roast” to have a go at the girls? Feckin’ classy that is.
-
Why does Bob care so much about “crude” jokes being made about the olsen twins, bitches didn’t even show up to his roast. Such great friends they are.
-
What is this rubbish about “underage?”
They were born June 13, 1986.
That makes them 22 years old.Saget is a hypocrite.
-
Oh god get over it. It’s a Comedy Central roast it’s supposed to be dirty and raunchy and expect anything that’s been a major story associated with your life to be what hits the most. Saget hasn’t any anything but the Olsen twins be that major association so what do you expect.
-
The Olsen Twins are rich and no one cares whether they live or die. They have no talent and are not beautiful. If one can’t make pedophile jokes about them, what other purpose do they serve on this earth? Bob Saget is a pathetic hypocrite, and yeh, hasn’t he ever seen a roast before? I think all the guys on Full House were pedophiles. If they weren’t before the show, they’d have to be by the time it went off the air! They’re only human. You try spending years and years around half-dressed little wanna-be actresses and see if you don’t get a woody thinking those were the best (and most lucrative) years of your life! Nuf said.
-
Feynman, I mentioned the underage thing as I assumed that they were underaged at the time they were all in the same programme which seems to be the gist of the jokes.
Look - I’ve never seen Full House, and I’m not sure what exactly a roast is (I’m assuming it’s a drunken ratbag Best Man’s speech at a wedding, but in front of cameras and far too many ‘Best Men”? )
if I’m totally off track here, then fair enough, I’ll know better the next time. -
it is disgusting to joke about child molestation.
immoral and disgusting
-
Mairead, you’re on target about the roast… that’s all it is - sort of a raunchy best man’s speech, with all of your friends or frenemies talking/joking about you (if you were the one being roasted). But the person who is usually the butt of the jokes is the person being “roasted” not a couple young girls who’ve grown up with you. (I’m using “you” loosely - not meaning you specifically).
-
Subpar comedians whack the pinata repeatedly. Mediocre comics occasionally miss the candy factory and maybe whack themselves. Good comedians lose the stick on the backswing and take out a wallflower that never saw it coming. Brilliant comedians do not even have to swing at all. Comedy central is currently full of “talents” who peek through the blindfold to improve their already dead aim at the completely obvious.
-
Nothing is taking John Stamos down. He is looking fierce!
-
As a incest survivor, I think any pedophilic “joke” is unjust, unfair and uncalled for!
They were supposed to be roasting him not them.
Yes, I know he does a raunchy act now, but, that has nothing to do with the twins.
Seriously, when will molestation be seen as a horrible crime that ruins young children’s lives forever, you can’t make a joke about something so cruel.
Thats my say, and as for the roast, it was boring and ridiculous.
I have seen way better and do expect raunchy humour but this one was awful.May God bless and keep the children of the world safe!
-
@ Starla, I’m right there in your corner, bella. I absolutely agree. And it was Saget’s roast, not the Olsen twins’ roast, as you & others pointed out, so the girls - who WERE girls while that TV show was being taped - ought not to be dragged into it and mocked in such a demeaning, awful and thoroughly unfunny way. That’s just bullsh*t.
-
Nan sure loves her some hot Greek John Stamos! That’s gotta be like the third time I’ve heard you mention him in the past week, bella! Yeah, he’s always been a hottie, that’s for sure…

That was an AWEsome post! So well stated, Lee. You’re spot on, dead spot on with these observations & thoughts, just brilliant.
-
They should all be ashamed of themselves, especially Gilbert Gottfried. His joke about “ass hurt” was disgusting. And I guess the absolutely worst insult one male comic can make to another is “you’re gay.” It was endless and moronic. I’m gay and I have a great sense of humor, but I didn’t laugh once. I should have turned it off - what was I thinking?
-
Come on people it was just a comedy roast, get over it and move on…
To many self righteous people in the world today..
It’s people like you who destroyed Don Rickles career because he wasn’t PC enough.
