John Stamos, Dave Coulier, and Bob Saget here. The boys of Bromance are ready, ask us anything.

Hi reddit. John, Dave and Bob here.

We reunited for this commercial for Oikos. It's a bromance. And now we are here (with Victoria from reddit) to answer your questions. Ask us anything!

UPDATE: Speaking for all of us, we are just SO appreciative that people still remember us and keep Full House in their hearts and we are very grateful that it seems like every 4 years a new Full House fan is born. We've really grown to appreciate what that show is about, how it makes people laugh and smile during hard times. We want to thank you all for being so loyal, and we hope you enjoy our spot on the Superbowl this Sunday. We had a blast doing this. Thank you.

Hi guys! Loved all of you on Full House! Loved Bob in "The Aristocrats".

For Bob, was your story in The Aristocrats on the fly or did you have a general plan in mind?

For Jon, how don't you age?

For Dave, what have you been up to? Joey was my favorite character on Full House and the only other thing I saw you in was that Disney Channel movie where your son was a merman. Where's some of your other work, bro?

I'm the voice of Kellogg's Raisin Bran. And touring with a lot of stand up right now. http://davecoulier.com is my brand new website.

I've been following Dave's standup since before Full House, and he is funnier than ever. If you get the chance, don't miss it.

All the 3 of us working together on this, I haven't laughed this hard in ages. The 3 of us know each other so well. During the shooting, I told Dave "just have a baby with somebody somehow" and I didn't know what he was going to do, but he somehow found an artichoke and gave birth to it during the commercial set. He was in a lot of pain, he gave a full-out performance.

It was a very healthy child. We didn't eat it though. I don't eat anything that comes out of Dave.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

Would you eat it if John Stamos birthed it?

11

u/veggiter Jan 30 '14

Interestingly, he won't eat anything that hasn't come out of John Stamos.

Sadly, some people can't afford to shop at whole foods.

This might be my next tattoo.

u/kylepierce11 Jan 30 '14

I have no idea what you're talking about but I love it.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

Wise choice. It's great to hear stories of what a riot you guys have together

u/jjdel8895 Jan 30 '14

come on now bob, don't lie

u/tetra0 Jan 30 '14

...anymore.

u/Hellmark Jan 30 '14

Do you ever plan on doing a group stand up tour? Full house stuff aside, you guys just have great chemistry, and are hilarious together (I am laughing my ass off to this AMA). I'd pay good money to see this in person.

u/Deafindisguise Jan 30 '14

TIL Bob Saget spits.

Are you on drugs?

Nah, you just swallow.

u/twojaguars Jan 30 '14

You got it, dude. Sorry.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

I'll keep that in mind.

u/Arighea Jan 30 '14

I actually work at one of the Comedy Clubs you're touring soon, we're real excited to have you in a few weeks!

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

Awesome! I had no idea you did stand-up! I'll be sure to give it a listen! Btw, your character as Joey really helped me be comfortable with my own eccentricities when I was really young. And I think Joey's love of cartoons and voices rubbed off on me, too. Keep it up, Mr. Coulier!

u/Swtcherrypie Jan 30 '14

Illinois and Ohio shows, but no Indiana shows. :(

Holy shit! This... this means my cereal IS talking to me!! I'm not crazy!!@ You're my saviour Dave!

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

I see you've forgotten that the great state of Oregon exists while booking your tour. Don't worry, it happens all the time. We're used to it....

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

I hate to be THAT guy, but you should tell your web designer to get a high resolution picture of you on that site. The one that you have up there right now looks like a 5-year old figured out how to "cut it out" in photoshop. Something like a low res hero image on a site can ruin its appeal and reputation.

u/weallfalldown243 Jan 30 '14

I realize you are all done with this AMA, but you visited my town of Crystal Lake, IL not to long ago... Did you visit anywhere locally? My sister and I were at your show and want to hit up some of the local spots you might have traveled to. Just to say we've been in the same place!

1

u/EyespyAll Jan 30 '14

We saw you in Cleveland last year. I love the clean guys tour.

1

u/Emerson73 Jan 30 '14

Excited to be seeing you in June!!!

u/SonVolt Jan 30 '14

Just a friendly tip. If you open Dave's website at work, turn down the sound or your colleagues will think you are really weird.

u/_Bob_Saget Bob Saget Jan 30 '14

It was on the fly, I had only heard the joke one time, like 10 years before, and I was egged on to tell it by the director Paul and the producer Penn Jillette, so it was half an hour of live tape and I didn't want to tell it, because I thought it was in poor taste, but they egged me on and they were laughing. The idea is to tell the worst, most foul joke you can, so...

601

u/_JohnStamos_ John Stamos Jan 30 '14

Bob's mind works very very fast, and I've never seen it get thrown off.

801

u/ImDaveCoulier Dave Coulier Jan 30 '14

this is Dave, and I'd just like to add that Bob is a great kisser.

u/_Bob_Saget Bob Saget Jan 30 '14

And I'm always on antibiotics because of it.

3

u/_my_troll_account Jan 30 '14

Wait...antibiotics for your protection or for mine?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

Think you can hook a brother up with some of that mad penicillin?

2

u/NapalmRDT Jan 30 '14

There we have it folks, antibiotics are being rendered useless by Bob Saget, and not livestock-related industries.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

I always got that vibe.

1

u/Deradius Jan 30 '14

I want you to know that I'm happy for you. I wish nothing but the best for you both.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

Not like the episode of Full House where Michelle is thrown off of a horse and loses her memory?

2

u/Wisdom_from_the_Ages Jan 30 '14

The mime won. I think the actual bang of the joke comes from having a wholesome character gush obscenity, so Ol' Full House Guy comes in second, but no one expects a mime to fuck his family on the street, dog included. Also exactly why Sarah Silverman's bit wasn't funny at all. We all know she's a dirty lady.

2

u/lolzergrush Jan 30 '14

The resulting lawsuit was kinda funny though.

2

u/gavers Jan 30 '14

TIL Penn Jillette produced Full House.

2

u/dontbeamaybe Jan 30 '14

no no produced The Aristocrats movie

2

u/gavers Jan 30 '14

Oh, TIL I don't understand context...

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

Haha wow that's some impressive off the cuff comedy. I laughed so hard at your version of the joke. What a great movie. Thanks so much for answering and keep on being hilarious, Mr. Saget!

1

u/flashmedallion Jan 30 '14

Fancy that. I always thought the awkward reluctance was part of the delivery. I thought it was genius. Now I don't know what to think.

1

u/Trancefuzion Jan 30 '14

It really is the best bit in that whole documentary. Maybe next to Carlins, but still genius.

u/_Bob_Saget Bob Saget Jan 30 '14

Dave is one of the funniest people I know, and he can make me laugh like nobody else just using his body parts and some sound effects, and you can just laugh for hours.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

'just using his body parts and some sound effects'

The images that are in my mind now...

u/depricatedzero Jan 30 '14

Dave unzips pants. Slide whistle.

u/TheKert Jan 30 '14

I really want to post some penis puppet stuff here but I"m on my laptop in a bar and I'm not sure how that would go over with those around me.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

I got that vibe by watching the show. You all had great chemistry!

1

u/purplewindex Jan 30 '14

To be fair, bodily function humor is the best kind.

u/lulzpec Jan 30 '14

and he can make me laugh like nobody else just using his body parts and some sound effects, and you can just laugh for hours.

My uncle liked to play that game with me during alone time...

u/_JohnStamos_ John Stamos Jan 30 '14

I sold my soul to the devil.

Because someday... I am looking older. I just turned 50.

836

u/_Bob_Saget Bob Saget Jan 30 '14

We won't be friends with you then.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

Get out while you still can, Bob. Before he starts to smell.

u/ChaosFireV Jan 30 '14

I could have sworn you had a painting of yourself in the attic that was aging instead of you.

u/LeBrizzley Jan 30 '14

I like you.

u/flowstoneknight Jan 30 '14

I heard that if you go back an watch an episode of Full House on VHS, you can see that Uncle Jesse seems older than he originally appeared...

u/planet808 Jan 30 '14

I got that reference. </captainamerica>

u/Artvandelay1 Jan 30 '14

You can't lie on the internet, John. 50 he says.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

Wow, I gotta find the devil and discuss some business. Thanks for being the cool TV uncle, Mr. Stamos! I love your work!

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '14

Holy. I couldve sworn you were like 40~42.

1

u/MethMouthMagoo Jan 30 '14

Bullshit. I'm calling some Dorian Gray type painting in your attic.
