    About this audiobook

    Millions of viewers know and love Bob Saget from his role as the sweetly neurotic father on the smash hit Full House, and as the charming wisecracking host of America's Funniest Home Videos. And then there are the legions of fans who can't get enough of his scatological, out-of-his-mind stand-up routines, comedy specials, and outrageously profane performances in such shows as HBO's Entourage and the hit documentary The Aristocrats.

    In his bold and wildly entertaining publishing debut, he continues to embrace his dark side and gives readers the book they have long been waiting for—hilarious and often dirty. Bob believes there's a time and a place for filth. From his never-before-heard stories of what really went on behind the scenes of two of the most successful family shows of all times, with co-stars like John Stamos and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, to his tales of legendary friends and colleagues like Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, Don Rickles, and other show business legends, Saget opens up about some of his personal experiences with life and death, his career, and his reputation for sick humor—all with his highly original blend of silliness, vulgarity, humor and heart, and all framed by a man who loves being funny above all else.

      Bob Saget is best known for his work in “Full House” and America’s Funniest Home Movies” but he is also a standup comedian; and a dirty one at that. I have watched both television shows and enjoyed them, but have never seen him perform standup. I don’t know if he is funny, but I can tell you that it doesn’t translate well on paper. In his book his jokes are juvenile and not at all worth a chuckle.This book is a mish-mash concoction of his life that doesn’t evenly flow. He begins with those family members he loved and lost (and it’s that why also). Loves to toss out names of celebrities he’s met and befriended. Writes a lot about his relationships with his daughters and his former co-stars and the importance they are to him. And he tosses some of those crude jokes in there. The book is not funny, not enjoyable and a miss in my eyes.

      Absolutely hilarious! The whole book has me literally laughing out loud.

      Whether you're a fan of Bob Saget as Danny Tanner in "Full House" or of his adult comedy, you'll enjoy this one. I enjoyed his stream of consciousness style and insights into his childhood. He displays his parental sensibilities, despite his irreverent sometimes controversial humor. Also having a silly, sarcastic, immature, somewhat perverse sense of humor, I can relate to him. I only wish he'd included more specifics, defining his humor.

      Bob Saget is best known for his many years playing neat freak widower and dad Danny Tanner on TV's iconic sitcom Full House. Anyone who has children in the 20s has probably seen that show, but this memoir, Dirty Daddy, shows a much different side to Saget, one that fans of his standup will know better.Saget likes scatological humor, which can be funny in small doses, but for me a little goes a long way. He got his love of this humor from his father, whom he clearly adores, and that shines through brightly in this book.Death played a big part in the Saget family, with Bob losing three close uncles and a cousin at a young age. His parents lost twins when they got an infection in the hospital when they were born and died. His two older sisters died at age 34 and 41, respectively. Death followed the Saget family, and that is where their gallows humor came from; it helped them cope.There are a lot of showbiz stories here, about famous people Saget knows, like Don Rickles, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, and some fun stories from his Full House and America's Funniest Home Video days. His story of visiting Larry Fine from the Three Stooges in a nursing home when he was teen was so sweet.One day he forgot to take his microphone off when going to the restroom during a break of AFHV and he said something rude about the audience that was broadcast to everyone. When he returned, the audience was ice cold to him. Oops.Saget's stream--of-consciousness writing and scatological (vulgar) language will turn off some, but overall I enjoyed his memoir.

      listen to this book and you’ll get a private stand up comedy (life) show by Bob, RIP

      Very interesting mix of humor and truth. Crazy to read after his untimely death.
    • 5/5
      Heartfelt and Hilarious, just like your comedy! Miss you Mr. Saget.
    • 4/5
      Fun, funny, interesting autobiography. Touches on everything he has done in his career, and s0me of his personal life. I thought of him as the Full House dad, then saw him in The Aristrocrats and realized there was a whole 'nother side to him.

      Dirty Daddy: The Chronicles of a Family Man Turned Filthy Comedian by Bob Saget
      330 pages

      ★★ ½

      I will admit, I’m a Full House fan – I grew up on the show, have the whole series on DVD, and watch it regularly. But be aware, Bob Saget is not the super wholesome, sweet man like his character, Danny Tanner, in the show but I was luckily quite aware of that. If you only know Saget for his roles on Full House and America’s Funniest Videos and are expecting those characters? Stop now and turn around.

      I think this book had a lot of potential. Bob Saget has some interesting moments in his life – so of them sad, some of them funny. The problem is how he seems to deal with these stories. Whether it is a coping mechanism or his way of trying to be funnier than necessary, all of his great stories were constantly interrupted by his making rude and crude jokes that just didn’t belong. I get it Bob Saget, you aren’t those characters you once played (PS. He has whole chapters dedicated to those shows that made his famous) but not every other paragraph has to be interjected with a fart or penis joke. Unfortunately, his random jokes thrown throughout really detracted from what could have been a pretty good memoir. Thumbs up for the stories he did share, I doubt all of them were easy to write and he is very honest throughout. However, major points removed for the jokes – there’s ways to make a memoir funny without such methods, trust me, I’ve read them.
