Happiness Quote by Bob Saget

Saget’s genius was never that he was secretly dirty; it was that he was publicly wholesome while privately feral, and he understood the voltage in that contradiction. In this quote, you can hear him narrating the tug-of-war between an imagined future self who “go[es] all clean” and the present-tense performer who knows the shock is part of the act’s machinery. “I have a feeling” softens what is basically a career calculation: at some point, the persona you’re booked for can start booking you.

The subtext is less moral than strategic. “I like to entertain people” is the tell: he frames content as a delivery system, not a confession. The “dirty stuff” isn’t presented as truth-telling or rebellion; it’s a tool for effect, a way to spike the room. That’s why the story turns on the crowd: “They egged me on.” It’s a neat displacement of authorship. The audience becomes co-conspirator, even instigator, letting Saget keep a kind of genial innocence while still taking the laugh.

Dropping “The Laugh Factory” anchors it in a specific comedy ecology: a proving ground where bits get pressure-tested and escalation is rewarded. He’s describing how comedy is social engineering in real time. The room demands transgression, the comic supplies it, then everyone pretends it was inevitable. Saget’s whole brand lived in that wink: America’s TV dad performing the exact material you’re not supposed to imagine him saying, and making that gap between image and impulse the punchline.
