“People ask me what my favorite episode of Full House is; it was the last one!”
“This woman woke up to see me and John Stamos banging on her windows. She must have thought she died and went to sitcom hell.”
“If you laugh at that, you lower the bar, and I will limbo under it because I am a f*cked-up guy!”
“Kids, do not f*ck that sh*t; you'll get an infection.”
“That would be a good public service announcement for Nickelodeon: "Hi, this is Bob Saget. Don't f*ck that sh*t. Stay in school. And read!"”
