Bob Saget will forever be the "illest motherf**ker in a cardigan sweater" as proven by the epic music video for "Rollin' with Saget." Created back in 2006 for the MTV series Blowin' Up, the video features Jamie Kennedy and Stu Stone teaming up with the Full House star for a night on the town. It depicts Saget as essentially the king of Hollywood with a persona that's of stark contrast to Danny Tanner. You can watch the music video below, which has been floating around a lot recently with fans revisiting Saget's material.
Saget was clearly happy with his involvement in the video. Ever since, he'd use part of the song as a theme song of sorts, often playing the music when he'd make his entrance on the stage for comedy shows. The visuals really help make Rollin' with Saget that much better, as there' nothing like watching Saget breaking up club fights or rolling blunts in the back seat. But the lyrics are rather entertaining and highly quotable for those familiar with the song.
The catchy chorus goes: "'Who you rollin with?' Bob-Bob Saget / Numero uno, nobody does it better / 'Who you rollin with?' Bob-Bob Saget / Illest motherf**ker in a cardigan sweater."
To top it all off, Saget closes out the video by saying directly to the camera, "Goodnight, Michelle." That's obviously a clear reference to Full House where Saget's Danny Tanner was the father of three girls, with Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) being the youngest.
After Saget died earlier this month, Jamie Kennedy wrote on Twitter, "I’m sitting here in utter shock and supreme sadness. Bob? Bob??? Howww??? This makes zero sense! There’s so much to say and I will at a later time but right now my love goes out to his wonderful wife and his 3 wonderful daughters. I am so very sorry."
Bob Saget's Edgy Comedy Often Shocked Full House Fans
The "Rollin' with Saget" video further put out there that there was another side to the comedy of Bob Saget. While widely known for his squeaky clean jokes on Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos, he would deliver much more raunchy material when doing his stand-up act. People who saw the stoner comedy Half Baked in 1998 were also given a clue as to how dirty Saget could be, given his surprising cameo.
In the film, Dave Chappelle plays a stoner attempting to stop smoking marijuana. He attends a support group for addiction where he is promptly booed for announcing his struggles with quitting pot. Saget's character argues that there is no comparison, as he "used to [perform a sexual act] for coke." Later, Saget would state how he would have this line quoted to him frequently by fans, which was usually only a problem when he had his children with him.
Whether he was playing it safe on ABC or getting more extreme on stage, Saget's goal was always the same. He just wanted to bring joy and laughter to others, and he spent decades doing just that. The iconic funnyman will be forever missed. Rest in peace.
