On Sunday night, Bob Saget was given a good ole comedian “roast,” but he felt that some of the other comedians went too far by making jokes about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Now, I can understand a guy being sensitive to jokes being made at the expense of two little girls.  Especially if that man feels like a father figure to them.  And especially if the girls in question are MK&A.

But this is Bob effing Saget we’re talking about here.  This dude is raunchy.  Like really crude.  Like Christina Aguilera circa 2002 in a Port Authority bathroom with a bucket of mud kind of dirty.

There was that (in)famous line in Half-Baked.  There was his take on The Aristocrats joke that was one of the filthiest in that movie, which is quite the accomplishment.  There was his whole Farce of the Penguins movie, which was just a string of sex jokes dubbed over penguin footage.  And there’s his comedy specials, which will make your ears feel so dirty that there is no amount of Q-tips in the world that will ever make them clean again.

But all of those things were part of his act. His schtick.  His career.  So, you know, no harm, no foul, right?

But what about that one thing he said that one time, about his real daughter?   The link is here, but it may be too much for some of my more sensitive readers.  (Mom, if you happen to read this, don’t click!)

He said THAT about his ACTUAL daughter.  And not on stage, or while doing a comedy bit, but while in the hospital.

And he has the nerve to get offended over what John Stamos said about his FAKE daughters at a Comedy Central roast???  Has he never seen any of the other Comedy Central roasts?  Did he think they were going to make jokes about that one episode of Quantum Leap he was in?  Come on, Saget!  I think you are hereby forbidden from ever being offended by anything that anybody ever says, ever.  Starting retroactively from when you made that joke about your baby girl.
