In case anyone was wondering, Danny Tanner is not gay. Bob Saget made this clear during a taping of his stand-up comedy show for HBO. Audience members lined up around the block at NYU on Friday night, gearing up for the free show. I thought you had to have friends in production or a super secret email contact to get in. Not so much. Turns out all you had to do was turn off your cell phone and flash photography and agree not to have to pee for nearly two hours, and you were good to giggle.

An audience coordinator made us clap like mad while a jib camera swept the crowd, for creative editing purposes. That was kind of funny in itself, everyone reacting like this guy was part of the British invasion. A comic named Mike Young warmed us up. His bits were brief but hilarious. He mused about relationships, then came to the conclusion that the “interesting” girls he pursues are actually “bipolar”. There’s something about the way girls confront guys, he said, that makes them lie even when there’s no need to. Case in point: “Where’d you go?!” “Just grabbed some McDonalds, honey.” “Then why are you holding a Burger King bag?!” “I don’t know! I don’t know why I even said that! I don’t even like food!”

Then Bob Saget made his entrance. My first thought was that he’s really skinny. My second observation was that he was wearing Chuck Taylors. Chuck Taylors are a huge factor in my personal Uncool gauge. Bonus points.

He’s raunchy in a way you can’t understand unless you’ve seen his shows, and I don’t mean the show with MK & Ashley and I don’t mean the home video show, either. He punctuated most sentences with curses and more than once he mentioned sleeping with Kimmy Gibler, “DJ”’s friend. He immediately singled out a guy in the front row and asked him if he shaves his balls. The shorn balls was a recurring theme throughout the show.

But instead of acting beyond the shows that made him famous, Saget incorporated them into his act, poking fun at America’s Funniest Home Videos, “complaining” about how many home made pornos people sent into the show, and making Dave Coulier and John Stamos the subjects of many of the jokes (because Stamos, unlike Saget, is pretty, and because Coulier, unlike the name Tanner, does rhyme with gay). He told a story about he and Stamos witnessing a car accident in which a woman suffered a short black out; when she opened her eyes, they were peering at her, and he joked that she must have thought she was in sitcom hell. Saget and Stamos have also been known to break into their old characters at awkward moments, say, in a men’s room with another guy using the urinal between them.

“I will f*ck you up,” Saget said intermittently, and pointed to the crowd, almost as a transition from one joke to the next. But eager to also be perceived as a family man, he laced his act with tidbits about his three daughters, their vapid cell phone conversations, their thongs the size of slingshots, which he happened to stumble upon in the laundry and, horrified already, found out belonged to his youngest daughter. He told a story of Hollywood humiliation: he approached Steven Spielberg with his daughter and said, “Honey, this is the man who directed your favorite movie,” only to have his daughter say she hated E.T. That little extra terrestrial was the butt of Saget’s jokes too; I think he likened him to a testicle.

Then he broke out the acoustic, and sang a song about oral sex to the tune of “Wonderful Tonight”. Saget concluded the evening with a song he calls “Danny Tanner’s Not Gay” to the tune of the Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way.” “I know that show wasn’t always funny/but f*ck you, it made me alot of money,” he crooned while the audience, an NYU and young professional crowd, cracked up.

So the next time you’re watching television and you’re looking for something saucier than old “Full House” reruns, you might be able to catch Bob Saget on HBO on Demand. But don’t say I didn’t warn you - it’s a whole other side of Danny Tanner!
