This is to prepare us for the passing of one of the best and worst comedians of the 90s, Bob Saget. In the event that he dies, this thread has already been started so that we are prepared to collectively mourn.

You may go ahead and begin memorialization if you wish.

I'm gonna truly miss you, Bob, not for the obvious Full House contribution to society, but for the more subtle America's Funniest Videos. You made it look easy to stand there week to week and laugh with (notice I didn't say at) Uncle Clem and Aunt Bertha and their video captured shennanigans.

How is it Bob, that it seems like yesterday I was wincing in pain with the rest of the country as a (insert - man - boy - grandpa) got hit in the berries with a (hurled projectile or blunt trauma weapon)? Or the inevitable pile up as desperate bridesmaids piled onto each other to get a bouquet of posies, only to break grandma's hip in the process or at least rip her skirt off, displaying her huge bloomers for the world to see?

Your life, though short, will cast a shadow longer than one can imagine across the landscape of modern television. Who will our nation turn to for their fix of cute, cuddly chihuahuas dressed as Old West Sheriffs? Mario Lopez? I think not.

It's with misty eyes I wish you eternal happiness. If anyone deserves it, it is you, for you've blessed millions with your sly grin and easy demeanor, bringing a light to otherwise darkened souls.

May you never feel the burn and piercing, kidney wrenching phantom pain of another viewed nut shot.

God Speed Bob Saget, God Speed.

That was awesome, Peace Frog.

My favorite Bob Saget memory is when he hosted SNL and was very excited that he could say words there that he wasn't allowed to utter on "Full House".

He then lept into a chorus of "nipples, ass, wiener! nipples, ass, wiener! nipples, ass, wiener!"

R.I.P. (when the time comes)

I'm sure that his stand-up routine is still hilarious. The SNL stuff and other things that I heard about him led me to believe that he was definitely just a comedian who was taking jobs for the work, money, "status," etc. I think he also was just looking at all of it and thinking, "This is crap," and still doing the best he could. For 1990, AFV was about as good as it could be for a squeaky-clean family show. Yes, Norm MacDonald or Jerry Seinfeld in later years could have done it better, but they were still un-heard of then, and ABC got the most famous guy they could afford. He could have let it go, but I guess the money was just too good.

Anyway, when he dies, I sure will miss him.

And super-dirty from what I hear.

"I used to suck dick for coke. You ever suck dick for marijuana?"
--Bob's best moment

is that from Harold and Kumar?

Half-Baked.

Although HaKGtWC was a much, much better stoner movie.

I TOTALLY AGREE!
