Anyone who's seen The Aristocrats knows that former Full House star and America's Funniest Home Videos host Bob Saget is hiding a dirty, dirty mind under that wholesome-seeming exterior. So it's no big surprise that Comedy Central's recent roast of the guy, which airs on Aug. 17, was as loaded with dirty jokes as the previous ones for celebrities such as William Shatner and Pam Anderson.
What he wasn't prepared for, apparently, were all the sex jokes about young Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, whom he's been protective of ever since they co-played his Full House daughter Michelle when they were infants. Even roastmaster John "Uncle Jesse" Stamos joined in on the molestation-gag action -- saying, "The whole time Bob and I were doing Full House, he was also hosting America's Funniest Home Videos. His entire job consisted of saying 'Take a look at this,' which is what he used to say to Mary-Kate in her dressing room." (Stamos later said that he thought some of the jokes had "crossed the line.")
Of
course, the Olsens are all grown up now, and the gossip media probes
their adult sex lives more often than Tommy Lee probed Pam. (Ba-dump-bump! Thank you very much.) Still, the constant stream of semi-incest/pedophilia jokes -- many of which will probably be cut from Comedy Central's broadcast of the roast -- just seemed kind of mean after a while, even when made about a pair of billionaires and a performer who spent years bringing us guy-getting-hit-in-the-groin videos.
Below, a sample of more molestation humor, this time from comedian Jeffrey Ross. At least Jodie "Stephanie" Sweetin seems to be enjoying herself.
