This is just as good as it sounds.

D'aahgh, I could have done this if it was Malkovich maybe, or even Myers for a callback but the second Tom Hanks opened his mouth I couldn't take it and reflexively closed the browser.

You obviously didn't see Saturday Night Live last weekend then.

That Kimmy Gibbler article is pretty damn good:

In one episode Kimmy’s parents grounded her by sending her to live with the Tanners. The joke was supposed to be that it felt more like a punishment to the Tanners than Kimmy, but in the end Kimmy’s parents were still kind of right. She can’t cuss or spit or even masturbate at the Tanner household without there being some genuine moments of awkwardness and there’s nothing to do over there except listen to Michelle talk like a Ninja Turtle or watch the Beach Boys perform “Kokomo” for the umpteenth time.

The woman who played Kimmy Gibler is awesome. She has a master's in women's studies from York University. And she runs marathons and is an administrator at some college in CA.

I've been following her Twitter. She's the real winner out of the whole Full House cast. Well, her and the billionaire Olson twins.

I feel grossed out thinking of Alanis Morissette and Dave Coulier. Dave Coulier is so gross. John Stamos I could understand. But ew otherwise.

That Kimmy Gibler article has managed to condense all the reasons I couldn't stand Full House into one single, succinct argument in a way that I never could. It is like a shining crystal of truth.

While watching Looper, I thought the Mob-Boss who came back in time to run the Loopers looked like Dave Coulier, so every time he was on screen I was playing the theme song to Full House in my head.

I tried thinking of the Full House theme song, but all that would come to mind was the Mentos commercial jingle. Still works.

I love the writing style on the Full House Reviewed site. The best description I can think of would be 'crass intellectualism'.

I fully expect the Full House Reviewed guy to be driven insane by the experience.

Oh Lord. From the Full House Reviewed site:

Now, before I can talk about Derek, I feel like I should clarify that I’m not trying to make fun of gay people. I’ve talked a lot about all the gay shit that’s appeared on full house because it’s pretty unavoidable, but if anything I feel bad for gay people that their lifestyles are portrayed as so preposterous and comical on this show. Throughout the years we’ve seen some pretty fucking gay shit on Full House, like Joey and Jesse’s writhing bodies pressed together, Joey getting raped in prison while dressed in drag, and Jesse with an apron on, preparing dinner for Danny as he gets home from work, but all of that shit seems like penises in vaginas now that Derek’s on the scene. Derek is the gayest goddamn thing I’ve ever even heard of. Watching him on screen for one second is like watching a thousand hours of hardcore gay anal sex. He’s so gay that he makes Dan Savage look like Rush Limbaugh. He makes the gay pride parade look like a wet t-shirt contest. He makes Margeret Cho’s stand-up comedy look like Andrew Dice Clay’s stand-up comedy. That kid Derek is so motherfucking gay that while I was watching him perform “Yankee Doodle,” Harvey Fierstein burst through my wall like the Kool-Aid man and jerked off all over my keyboard, and I wasn’t even surprised.

And let's not even get into how I alternately convulsively shuddered and laughed until I cried when I saw the screen cap of Danny in the bathtub with Becky and Jesse's twin preschoolers. My sister liked Full House and watched it a lot and so I wound up absorbing a little of it by osmosis, but I never liked it and don't think I ever actually watched an entire show start to finish. I always thought I didn't like it because it was incredibly stupid and annoying, but now I know I didn't like it because it was fucked up.

I, uh .... guess I missed that episode?

I don't understand all the Dave Coulier hate. Don't you guys know he does funny voices? He's not REALLY a jackalope either, he just played one on America's Funniest People. Plus standing that close to Tawny Kitaen is enough to make anyone awesome.

After many years on the internet, I can't believe I'm surprised that a blog dedicated to reviews of every episode of Full House exists, but I am.

I'm really glad my Kimmy Gibbler add-on link was also appreciated by so many; I feel like the homunculus of shitty 90s TV shows.

Taken as a fond parody of slam poetry, this is a home run.

D'oh! Isn't he playing Walt in the movie?

Also: I wonder if he did this as a bid to instigate a rap battle with his son?

"It's Fuckin Late" with Dave Coulier

Holy crap, have Dave Coulier and Andrea Barber aged at all in the last 20 years? That is some Dorian Gray shit right there.

Although it does look like Uncle Joey's in a wig (as mentioned in the video), so maybe it's all wigs and makeup and CGI.

Join us next time for the conclusion; "See, this is what happens when you wait until after 60 to get stoned for the first time", or "Hey, I'd like to do weed thing on your show for funny."

...I feel like I should clarify that I’m not trying to make fun of gay people...

...followed by a series of statements over which gay is escalated as the ultimate insult. crass, but not intellectualism.

Uncle Joey

As much as I haaaaaaaaaate Full House, the fact that I watched every episode while it aired (I'm the same age as Stephanie) means I feel entirely obligated to shout something right now.

THERE IS NO UNCLE JOEY!!! There's Uncle Jesse, and there's Joey.

Joey is just some guy.

I don't know how Mrs. Tanner died, but he's the first person I'd ask.

This was pretty great, but Tom Hank's appearance on "The Colbert Report" last night made me laugh so hard, I pulled a muscle in my neck. So, so great.
