My only exposure to Bob Saget, I have to admit, is America's Funniest Home Videos, from which you'd never get the impression that this side of him exists. But as a friend informs me:
He was the raunchiest mother****er before then. My dad used to show me tapes of his standup. He tried to leave and go back after the show, but he had the reputation of being a good guy by then. So he had to go to America's Funniest Home Videos. He got fired from that spot later for sexual harassment and drug use. Just the general disorderly conduct. Plus he'd make little jokes here and there that weren't part of the script. For instance he once joked on an episode about names he was called as a segue. He started off saying that kids used to call him "Bob Maggot" or something like that, then looked at the camera, gave a rather lecherous grin and said "It's okay, I've been called FAR worse." I still remember the gust of laughter that got.
Well, that explains a few things.
So now he's back to his original form. But even if just in the "I didn't realize he was ever anything but Mr. Simpering Giggle" context, this video is pretty dang funny. Also somewhat NSFW, if just for language.
