After Tuesday evening's performance at the Koger Center for The Arts, comedian Bob Saget now officially owns the USC student body.
Saget, most prominently known as the father figure Danny Tanner on the classic television show "Full House," and the host of the original uber-cheesy "America's Funniest Home Videos," walked on stage and showed an ecstatic crowd who the real Bob Saget is.
The crowd ate up every hilariously filthy word from Saget's mouth. His act left no one unscathed. From bothersome "Full House" neighbor Kimmy Gibbler to his own real-life daughters, no one was safe.
Even the audience members weren't left untouched. Saget noted that one student has sexual encounters with certain barnyard animals and that another's shaved private regions look like E.T. up side down.
Saget's performance was filled with many four-lettered profane words that may have been seen as offensive or off-color. But it seems Saget was taking a note from Lenny Bruce and George Carlin.
Anyone can be vulgar, but to wield in such a way that proves comic success is pure magic and a joy to watch.
One truly hilarious part of Saget's performance was when he mentioned his bathroom escapades with "Full House" co-star John Stamos aka Uncle Jesse.
Stamos, whom Saget called a "Theater Queer," were in a bathroom together in New York City after Saget performed in a play when a teenager walked up to the urinal. The pair decided to get into "Full House" character and scared the kid into thinking he was in some sitcom nightmare.
Jokingly, Saget decided to tear apart ditzy girls, who also happened to be one of his daughters. He said they are always looking up and never pay attention in the dirtiest way possible.
The world's first introduction to Saget's filthy side was in Dave Chappelle's comic masterpiece "Half Baked," in which Saget mentioned that he had done lewd acts for cocaine, and a man replied that he had seen him do it.
Another taste of Saget's vulgar genius was displayed in the 2005 documentary "The Aristocrats," which showed the background behind the dirtiest joke that comedians tell between themselves.
Saget gave the audience a treat by retelling his version of "The Aristocrats" joke. The joke explicitly told the dirty deeds of a family at a talent agency and Saget didn't leave any stone unturned with this one.
To end the show, Saget brought out his acoustic guitar and started playing dirty covers of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird," and Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven." Saget strummed one of his own hilariously mocking tunes rightfully named, "Danny Tanner is Not Gay" played to the melody of a Backstreet Boys song.
Saget not only seemed to break down his "nice guy" reputation while making Gamecocks laugh but also raised himself up to the level of comedic master.
