Parenting & Family Quote by Bob Saget

Saget is letting you watch a collision between sitcom-dad innocence and stand-up’s filthiest handshake. The line is pitched as parental small talk - three kids, oldest is 18 - but it’s really a setup for a cultural dare: The Aristocrats isn’t a movie you “go see” so much as you submit to it, and the fact that his daughter’s friends (especially the guy friends) are treating it like an event tells you what kind of currency transgression has for young adults.

The intent is defensive and mischievous at once. By foregrounding his daughter’s age, Saget quietly clears the “bad father” charge while still admitting the social awkwardness: your kid’s peer group is consuming your most notorious material as a rite of passage. The subtext is about power and embarrassment. These guys aren’t just moviegoers; they’re a chorus of adolescent provocation. Watching The Aristocrats becomes a way to test boundaries, perform worldliness, and maybe needle the celebrity parent by proxy: We’ve seen what your dad really is.

Context matters: Saget built a career on wholesome TV, then spent decades insisting - sometimes too loudly - that he was also a hardcore comic. This quote captures that double life in one breath. It’s not a morality speech or a brag. It’s the uneasy comedy of reputation management, where the punchline is that your “real” self becomes content for your child’s social circle.
