Saget is also known for his repeated, relentless and subtly emphatic reminders to the world that he is nothing like his TV persona, and will most likely go to his grave using his last dying breath imploring us all to know that he is a filthy, filthy, foul-mouthed comic.

    Ha, I didn't realize it looked like an obituary. It kinda' does. I just saw him on the tube again and once more, as always, he reminds us how "blue" he is.

    The Saget's greatest trick on the world was convincing people he is wholesome.

    Saget is also well known for not being funny at all, no matter how foul-mouthed his routines are.

    If memory serves, the "foul-mouthed = funny" syndrome started back in the days of Richard Pryor. In his early period that man was the epitome of 'funny'. Some of his routines were epic. 

    Then something happened to him. I don't know what it was but for quite a while it was similar to what happened to Sinatra's voice. Nothing Pryor said or did was funny. Next thing you know, whether out of frustration, desperation, I don't know what, but he started using the 'f' word on stage. And simultaneously he began using the 'race' card. And he began to get a reaction from his audience. 

    Evidently, shock value worked in his favor. He began to regain some of his popularity but only with a certain segment of them. To me, and others like me, he was just repugnant. And today's crop of wannabe comedians or other entertainers who use the 'potty-mouth' technique are all losers in my book. I find nothing funny in what they do.

    George was one of the few who could get lewd and still be funny. RIP George.... B)

    My favorite Sam Kinison joke (maybe my favorite joke of all time). Paraphrasing. 

    Mary comes to Joseph and says, 'I"m pregnant.'

    Surprised, Joseph says, "But we haven't consummated our marriage."

    Mary says, "An angel came to me in the night and seeded me with the Son of God."

    Joseph rubs his head and walks around. "Son of God. Son of God. Okay I accept that. But let me make this clear: He'd better be the ONLY Son of God, got it?"
