Did you catch former Full House sitcom dad Bob Saget's memorable appearance in the 2005 documentary The Aristocrats, a film about the filthiest joke ever told? Were you surprised to discover that Saget is not, in fact, a fantasy father but an actual person who knows some swear words? That Ain't Right, filmed before a NYC college audience and recently aired on HBO, captures the would-be comic's juvenile standup performance. Saget apologizes to the audience for his nonstop vulgarity, but that doesn't stop him from beating to death his one joke: namely, that he apparently only recently discovered the f-word and is intent on using it as often as possible. Granted, he also talks to his penis, mimes masturbation with a microphone stand, and offers advice on the inadvisability of bestiality (when he's not singing about being sexually pleasured by his dog), but all of the humor runs in the same shallow vein, and it's unpleasantly aggressive and pointlessly tasteless to boot. DVD extras include the exclusive “Strollin' with Saget” featurette, in which the comedian insults random New Yorkers on the street, and the “Rollin' with Saget” music video, by the talent-free Jamie Kennedy—neither of which add up to much more than a hill of poo. Not recommended. Aud: P. (M. Johanson)
