Bob Saget Pelted With Tampons

Too bad they weren't used. He needs to pay for inflicting "America's Funniest Home Videos" and "Full House" on the American psyche!

NU students: ‘Cut it out!’

April 17, 2006

Bob Saget’s material is considered adult mainstream comedy which, in theory, means it’s intended for an adult audience. The behavior of the mostly student audience at his stand-up act Friday makes us question Northwestern undergrads’ ability to act their age. Saget’s guest spot on “Entourage” and his appearance in “The Aristocrats” showcase his transformation from goofy dad to dirty daddy, but lewd humor on behalf of the performer does not sanction offensive audience conduct.

Saget performed on a weekend evening at a university; it’s expected that a few students would down a few cocktails before attending his act. But the noisy belligerence and intrusive behavior of the audience would have been fitting for a Kanye concert, not a comedic event.

The act was off to a bad start before Saget even stepped on stage — the overzealous audience were hushed multiple times by people sitting in the back rows of Pick-Staiger Concert Hall who couldn’t hear Saget’s voice.

During the performance, Saget talked about his real-life children but omitted their names. His attempt to maintain their privacy was thwarted by an audience member who shouted out one of their names. Saget attempted to cover his discomfort by noting his children are named DJ, Stephanie and Michelle, but he was clearly irritated.

Throughout his act, Saget was interrupted multiple times by audience antics. Certain female audience members had the gall to throw tampons scrawled with phone numbers at the comedian. Saget’s act was temporarily stopped to clear the stage.

He verbalized the sentiments of many audience members when he asked the tampon-throwers,“What made you think this was a good idea?”

Throwing your panties onstage at a rap concert is a tired tactic, but at least it’s socially acceptable. Pelting a comedian with feminine products just embarrasses the entire audience.

Saget’s material was meant for an adult audience. We clearly haven’t matured past our “Full House” days.

How rude.

[Luna]

I doubt there we phone numbers on them, his reps probably just said that to seem somewhat flattering, didn't help.

What a waste of tampons. They should've thrown their own shit at him, that's free.

[Elvira]

Now that's gross.

[twitchy]

Yeah, but so's Bob Saget!

Bob Saget. Beloved Comedian!

[FierceKiten]

Comedian? He's more like watching a borrrrrrrrring episode of the Golden Girls.
Those tampons served him right!

[Lobelia]

Did the pelting interrrupt the flow of his act?

[AyanEva]

Saget was hysterical on "The Aristocrats." I'm still laughing at him and Whoopi and I watched that movie, like, a month ago.

They wrote their phone numbers on the tampons?
Why would he want to call a woman who he knows is on her period?

[Warren]

They should have just shot him. Put him and the audience out of their misery.

I never liked this guy until I saw The Aristocrats and now I'm firmly in his corner. He was the second funniest person in it. He had me in stitches with his ability to take an already incredibly tasteless joke to even higher (lower?) levels. Just brilliant.
