Another stupid question: Did Jodie Sweden like to dance in real life or something because in just about every other episode, they made Stephanie's dancing talent (I can argue and say that it wasn't talent) such a big thing.

Hmm, no clue, but I bet she did.

The tricky question is, do you think Joey was a comedian in real life? ;)

Hee. My mother watched this particular episode with me a while ago and when the Pedophile Barber whipped the kids around in their stupid spaceship and dolphin seats, she screamed, "HE DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING! HE BRUSHED THEIR HAIR!!" Needless to say, mummy doesn't like Full House.

Hee. I like your mom. :D

I think she did. I think she sang in real life, too, since they had her do that sometimes as well.

That child was a half-step above tone deaf. Anybody remember that note she hit while singing "I write the songs"?

Hee. Oh don't get me started on Joey. The top worst jokes he does (yet these are the same jokes he does the most often) are:

1. Cut. It. Out. (with goofy hand gestures...puke puke puke)

2. Is that tree made of....*looks north, east, west, and south* WOOD?!

Shut up, Joey.

Not to mention the stupid "singing into the microphone" thing where he sings and takes the microphone down and fades out of song then brings the microphone back up to his lips and the song fades back in. So, SO stupid.

Oh great. Tonight it's the pukey episode of Michelle telling stupid jokes and Stephanie playing dress-up catch-up with the Jennifers. Also, the whole "Charles walks into a door named Dad" storyline. That was a little sad. I'm glad they had Uncle Jesse handling it and not stupid ass Danny or even worse, Joey. Did anyone else get all hot and bothered when Uncle Jesse said he was gonna kick the shit out of Charles' dad? Cause I know I did.

Also tonight, "Michelle Gets a Little More Spoiled, Take 3,765." Danny buys her way back into the Mighty Mutant Super Kids Club. I was rather disappointed to see this episode on, because I was so repulsed when Lisa said "Don't fill up on popcorn, Michelle. You're eating TOENAILS." DisGUSTing. And I don't think we need any further proof that Aaron was the best child actor on this show and that Derek plays for the other team. Where the HELL did that child get his hair from? He looks like a muppet.

Also, if I were Uncle Jesse, I'd be friggin pissed that Joey lost the Super Fortress that he had gotten ahold of and then tossed to him before that bratty girl stole it. Seriously, they could have solved the whole problem if Joey wasn't such a pedophile and liked talking to little girls he doesn't know. Jesse got his hair ruined for nothing.

Can I get an Amen on that one?

Amen!

Also stupid was the fountain thing, where Joey would take a gulp of water or some other clear liquid and spurt it out. Stupider: me for the number of times I tried to imitate that.

Yeah, I'm just as stupid, I tried doing that trick so many times until I finally gave up. Worst part about trying it was I did it inside and had to clean up all the water I spilled.

Please, PLEASE tell me you meant vodka, and not some other clear or translucent substance.

[insert barfy face here]

I'm a sicko. Hee.

Not to worry; I just meant sprite or 7up (though vodka could explain a few things). I guess I'm twelve though because I sort of giggled to myself when I typed it. Why was Joey there at all? I mean, I know WHY, but I really had contempt for that character. However, Uncle Jesse made it all okay.

What I also hated was how they made Michelle (better yet..Mary-Kate/Ashley) looks like such an intelligent baby by reacting to what the three men said to her while any moron knows that there was someone offstage telling her to do that stuff. LOL. Notice how everytime someone says something to her, there is a cut, and then Michelle looking in a totally different direction.

My Stupid Full House question is about "Wake Up San Francisco." Did they film that show a day in advance or something? Because it always seemed like Danny and Becky would eat breakfast with the family and then rush off to work...but you'd think that their show would air DURING breakfast hour (and that they'd have to be at the studio several hours earlier to prepare)...wouldn't you? Maybe the Tanners just ate really early?

I also have a hard time believing that Jesse and Joey's ridiculous radio show would supposedly have so many listeners. From what they showed, it sounded like bad community radio. *Especially* that episode where they did a live remote from the downstairs studio at their home (so that Jesse could take care of his kids or whatever). I remember that for some stupid reason Joey was sprawled out on the floor -- and of COURSE people like Danny and Michelle came downstairs and started pushing the wrong buttons, which made their wacky home hijinx go out over the air for like five minutes. If this was such a big deal radio station, Jesse and Joey would probably get SUSPENDED for that, if not fired!!

Remember when Jesse & Joey went to visit their new office at the advertising place and it was this gorgeous view and everything but they were convinced to turn it down because they couldn't be away from the family for a single second? That? Made me sick to my stomach. Get a life you losers!

Also, if I just got a new job, took a look around the place, and told the boss nicely that I really wanted to work from home right away, I would definitely be black listed or something.

This is what always drove me nuts about this show. If only real life made the kind of allowances this show does. It especially drove me nuts that after the girls were old enough to be home alone, Joey, Jesse and Rebecca and the bwuddas continued to live there. I think they could have continued all the wacky baby-sitting mix-up hijinks etc. with Jesse and Bec in their own house. And Joey just gone. I have yet to meet anyone whose job is so accomodating. But I guess when you live in your BinL's/BF's attic/basement for free, you can be choosy in your career demands.
Somebody upthread asked if Joey is really a comedian. Do I remember him really being on Star Stearch in the 80s, or am I getting confused with the FH eppie?

returns to lurking

I asked if he was a comedian, but I was just being snarky ;)

And yes, he was on Star Search in an episode once, and I think he lost to some kid.

I'm happy I found a thread on this show! This was a show I hated to love but I always found myself watching it, even today. For years, I never knew that Michelle was being played by twins. I just thought the kid had a really long name: "Mary Kate Ashley Olsen." It didn't even hit me during the first season when Uncle Jesse had a nightmare where there are two baby Michelles.
Anyways, I was watching the show earlier this week where the previous owner of the house, Mr. Bond drops by to offer the Tanners money to sell the house. I had to change the channel at the beginning of the show because D.J. couldn't get Joey out of the bathtub. Then (I guess for humor), Danny barges in to the bathroom with Stephanie, Michelle and D.J. behind him after Joey gets a pizza delivered to him in the bathroom and there's Joey sitting in a bubble bath. That's when I switched over to the news. Talk about something you never want to see again!! I'd say when D.J. turned 13 is when Joey should've moved out of the house and away from the show...I wouldn't have missed him.
Has anyone ever met any of the cast members? I met Jodie Sweetin and Candace Cameron right after the show ended at my local mall. Jodie wasn't very friendly because I think she was scared by all of the people who showed up and she was also only 13 at the time while Candace was shaking hands, smiling, signing autographs and taking pictures. [whispers]They both signed my "Full House" poster which is still in my house somwhere[/whispers].

I have always hated Michelle Tanner. I was never amused by her behavior. That is one kid who truly needed a good whack on the ass every now and then. I'm not saying that Danny should beat her senseless, but the next time she rolls her eyes and says, "oh please" smack her on her fanny. Spoiled brat. I didn't start to like her until the later seasons. The problem with Michelle is that she tried to act like a little adult and the family thought it was so cute and everything ended up with hugs and laughter.

Eeep. I seriously remember seeing him on a real episode of Star Search back in the 80s, not just the extra-lame FH version. I was really, really hoping that I didn't dream this. God, if I had a dream about Dave Cool-Yay, kill me; kill me now.

I always hated how they seemed to try to make Michelle smarter than the adults. Her "oh please" was so snotty, like "oh PUH LEEZ," which would have gotten me a red rear if I ever spoke to my parents that way.

Hehe. Or when Jesse and Rebecca first got married and they're hanging out at their new place (which was actually her old place) and Jesse suddenly decides he's horribly lonely and has to be near his family. And Rebecca's totally fine with it. LOL. If I was her, I would have filed for an annullment right then.

ITA on all the "Michelle is a spoiled brat" talk. She always gets her way! Like when Mr. Bond was going to buy the house and Michelle didn't want to move. Everyone else did, but in the end they saw the "error of their ways" and decided not to sell. And when Jesse moved in with Rebecca, Michelle was the first one to whine that she didn't want him to go/try to go with him. And (the one I saw yesterday) when she gets kicked out of the MMSK or whatever club, the guys have to buy her way back in. What kind of lesson is that teaching the kid?

Glad I'm not the only one.
Remember the episode where Michelle got punished for the first time for playing in her wading pool inside? Such drama!

I know a woman who treats her kids like the Tanners treated Michelle. They're teens now, and she wonders why they're so snotty.

Was that the episode in which Michelle sat by her pencil bed and sang that little song about being in trouble (she might have sung it beyond that one time; my memory is pretty fuzzy on this stuff)? I can't find mention of it in the past 20 pages or so. Man that song annoyed me, but I would often find myself humming it. Anyone out there remember it, or am I rewriting history again?

Maybe I'm just weird but I always hated those boots Jesse used to wear when he had the longer hair. The sound it made when he walked in them always made me cringe. That crap wasn't cool. LOL. Yeah... I'm definitely weird.

I remember Michelle sitting in a rocking chair singing, "This is no fun, no fun, looking at the wall" or something like that. When I was little I used to wish I would get in trouble so I could sing that song. THAT is weird.

Thanks, queenfrostine! That's what I was trying to remember. Of course, now that it's in my head, it probably won't leave. Lucky Michelle-- when she got in trouble, she got sent to her room to sit in her rocking chair. That sounds almost like a reward to me, like, "Hey kiddo, relax, sing some songs! No, no, don't clean up this mess you made; you won't do it right anyway. I love you, you Monchichi faced munchkin!"

Let it be known that I thought Michelle was adorable back in the day.

I hate Michelle Tanner. Always did. I tried the wading pool in the house shit and I got a red rear and I couldn't go to the NKOTB concert. All Michelle got was the wall song.

Me too, FairyChica! I would watch the show with my parents, and we thought that the poor girl/troll/chimp had one long-ass name. Would it have killed the producers to stick an & in there?

As for Mary-Kate's eating disorder, its good she's getting help. My friend and I commented when they got their star that she can't be healthy if we could see vertebre. And I kinda don't buy it when people say she got it because she was trying to create her own identity. The twins could have stopped being in movies with twin roles ages ago if that was an issue.

This is one of those shows that just seemed ingenious when you were 7, and now feels about as intellectually stimulating as crooked game of Go Fish.

That said, I still watch it whenever it is on. :) Total nostalgia, and some of the characters had their share of snarky moments. It is also interesting to remember how much I related to the character of Michelle back then, and to now observe how much I would like to tie her up with really thick rope and throw her in a closet. Teach you to roll those eyes, Miss Thang.

I don't particulary care for the Olsen twins now, but I will wear their little clothing line.. I mean, some of the items are decent.. and hey, I can fit into little girls clothes! Shant pass that up. Tis a shame to hear of Mary-Kate's illness. I do wish her well.

[whisper] I wear the makeup. It's actually pretty good and really cheap. [/whisper]

I so agree. I hated Michelle. She was such a little bitch, and she was not cute. That being said, I personally have nothing against the Olsens. I kind of like some of their movies and Two of a Kind, and they seem like nice girls. I just hated their character.

I hated Stephanie during the first few seasons too, with her "how rude" stuff. Blech. She embodied all that was bad about my little sister. Actually, Nicky and Alex were extremely annoying too. The writers/directors really didn't do a very good job of creating likeable child characters. Once they got to middle school, they turned out ok (Stephanie and DJ), but the under 10 age group on this show was a bunch of obnoxious brats.

I thought that Michelle was played by triplets: Mary, Kate, and Ashley Olsen. I didn't understand why if you had two kids you would give them three names. My grandmother still laughs about me fighting her about that as she tried to convince me their were only two of them.

They sell the shoes at Famous Footwear here, and I'd totally buy them if they came in sizes larger than 7. Stupid clown feet.

*glances around nervously*

I have a pair of the shoes too.. I actually managed to find a size 8 in womens.!

Several pages back someone mentioned that grating "I Am The Cute One" song and it is now galloping through my mind like every vile thing that ever existed.. But I must admit I still have that video, actually. Hell, I had their album too.! Oh, to be young and easily amused again... "Brother For Sale.." "No One Tells The President What To Do.."

Lying in a fetal position is appealing to me right about now.

Today, I saw the episode where Viper reveals he is Tiny Heinz and helps out *choking back sobs* Hot Daddy and the Monkey Puppets rock a bar polka-style.

I realized something while watching the scenes with Jesse, Rebecca and the twins: those kids were dead inside. They had no spontaneous reactions whatsoever. Now, I KNOW Mary-Kate and Ashley were fed lines and whatnot, but occasionally they seemed to actually comprehend what they were saying. Or they're better actresses than I thought.

But seriously, those kids were awful. They must have either been related to someone or been really cheap to employ, because I can't imagine another reason to keep them on.

There is a special place in hell for the writers of that song and for everyone who mentions it and therefore gets it stuck in my head. Damn it! Get the hell out of my brain stupid song!

I am so glad I never watched anything Olsen-related other than FH when I was younger (well, except for that Off to Grandmother's House Christmas movie, I admit that I looked forward to watching that every year) because y'all seem to hate the songs with such a vengeance! I can only imagine the horrors of a song called Brother for Sale..

ETA: Unfortunately I just looked up To Grandmother's House We Go and found out it was made in '95. Which sucks for me because I was 11 and entirely too old to be watching it.

My sister and I taped it and watched it so many times we could quote the entire thing. We each used to take a twin role and spout off lines. Okay for her, since she's five years younger than I am...

The fun would probably still be continuing if our idiot brother hadn't taped over it (because he got so sick of us with it!) Brother For Sale!!!

Okay, y'all forced it out of me.

Confession time.

I have seen every single Mary-Kate and Ashley movie in its entirety multiple times except for New York Minute, Switching Goals, and Getting There.

Step one is admitting you have a problem, y'all.

Ah, confession time.

I own entirely too much Olsen stuff. Dozens of crappy books, several videos with badly-acted movies, CDs, videogames...
And all of this was bought, by me, when I was well over 12. Meaning I was far too old for it and perfectly capable of realising how crappy it was.

And you people talking about those clothes makes me totally want to go out and buy some if I manage to find an Auchan.


So did I. And since the last time I watched FH was just before I converted to Snark, those thoughts haven't completely died out yet. And I had bratty younger siblings who never seemed to get punished the way I did, so being thoroughly annoyed by her would make more sense.


Huh? I'm not sure I ever saw this, but I really want to see it now.

After Jesse and the Rippers broke up, Jesse formed a new band. There was an episode where he was holding guitarist auditions, and Danny actually almost made the group, because everybody else was so awful. But then, in walks a guy whose nickname is "Viper" and Jesse thinks he's great, so he's in the band all of a sudden.

Jesse decides to name his new band Hot Daddy and the Monkey Puppets. *groan*

Anyway, DJ starts dating Viper secretly and hiding the relationship from everyone, including Danny, who, one day after band rehearsals, walks into the kitchen and catches DJ and Viper making out, in the backyard outside those big windows. He ducks down behind the counter before he gets spotted, and doesn't bring up the fact that he knows until DJ tries to get him to agree to let her and Kimmy travel to see the band perform over the weekend. DJ freaks out and winds up going to see the band anyway. Danny calls Jesse, who took Rebecca and the Twidiots on the road with him(only to be disgusted by life on the road later in the episode, and he has this whole revelation about how he's older now and has a wife and kids so staying in dirty motels isn't all that cool anymore), and Jesse promptly fires Viper from the band.

Anyways! So there's this big mixup at the bar the band is supposed to perform in -- instead of booking Hot Daddy and the Monkey Puppets, the manager thought he had booked some big polka band with a similar name. Oh, how funny. So everyone's kinda panicking, DJ shows up and gets upset when she finds out Jesse fired Viper. Viper shows up and reveals that his dad used to lead a polka band(something like Big Heinz and the Polka Dots), so he knows how to play polka music. The manager asks him if he was the little kid with the accordion in the band, and Viper is all "Yeah! I'm Tiny Heinz!" *sigh*

Moving on. Jesse apologizes to Viper for overreacting, Viper and DJ are cool, Viper and Jesse are cool, Jesse and DJ are cool, and so DJ thinks everything is cool.

In walks Danny, Michelle and Stephanie.

Danny's still flipping out and he and DJ argue and resolve their issue in a millisecond, because, after all, this is Full House. And everybody dances! To polka music! Well, not exactly polka music. They actually wind up doing a polka version of KISS's "I wanna Rock N Roll All Night(And Party Every Day)". And everybody skips around polka dancing badly. Including all the extras, dressed sadly yet appropriately in Lederhosen.

Roll credits!

Ok.. that's just awesome. I want to see that episode.

Yesterday I watched the episode after it where Joey actually uttered the phrase: "I'm gonna go play with Mr. Woodchuck" and Becky replied "Say hi to him for me" As hard as I try, there is no way that doesn't sound gross.

Miss Aquarius, that is a great ep. I just love Danny and D.J.'s "talk."

D.J. "You have to understand that who I date is up to ME".
Danny: (meek and obedient) "Of course...you're right...I know that...it's just that I love you and blah blah blah overprotective cakes..."

Hehe. If I ran off with a guy in a band - no matter how nice he was - and then proceeded to talk to my dad that way? Hell to pay.

This thread? Will be the death of me.

Okay, while we're on the subject of things that annoy us (what else?) I have to say that I hated Nelson, The Rich Guy Who Liked D.J. Absolutely could not stand the sight of him. The cheese factor mulitplied by the 10th power whenever he was part of an episode. Like when he got tickets for Joey to attend some function at the British embassy where Joey met Queen Elizabeth. Sure, that's perfectly realistic. Except not.

Did anyone hear that Dave Coulier is gonna be on the new Surreal Life? L. O. L.

I did hear about that. They described him as "the guy from Full House that's not John Stamos." Haha I'm definitely going to be watching this season.
