Showtime Specials Season 1 Episode 1 Bob Saget: That's What I'm Talkin' About

  • May 10, 2013

Bob Saget: That's What I'm Talkin' About is the first episode of Showtime Specials season 1. The episode features the stand-up comedy of Bob Saget, who is most known for his family-friendly roles on Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos, but is also revered in the stand-up comedy world for his unfiltered and raunchy humor.

Filmed in front of a live audience at the Moore Theatre in Seattle, Saget takes the stage and immediately launches into a rapid-fire stream of jokes and anecdotes. His humor is vulgar and often inappropriate, but delivered with a charming self-deprecation that endears him to the audience.

Throughout the show, Saget covers a wide range of topics, from his experience with drugs, to his love life, to his own mortality. He frequently acknowledges the dichotomy between his public persona and his stand-up material, quipping "this isn't Danny Tanner up here," a reference to his famously wholesome character from Full House.

One particularly memorable bit involves Saget recounting a conversation he had with his parents about their own deaths, which he lovingly mocks for their old-fashioned attitude towards the subject. Another features Saget's observations about the endless stream of drug commercials on TV, punctuated with his own impressions of the vague and often absurd side effects listed at the end of each ad.

The audience is clearly enamored with Saget's irreverent humor, as evidenced by their hearty laughter and frequent applause breaks. And despite the often-graphic nature of his jokes, the comedian manages to maintain a lighthearted energy throughout the show that keeps the mood from ever feeling too heavy.

Overall, Bob Saget: That's What I'm Talkin' About is a hilarious hour of stand-up comedy that showcases the comedian's undeniable talent and skill. Though his style may not be for everyone, there's no denying that Saget knows how to make an audience laugh, and he does so with aplomb in this special.
