I think Joyce would still have memories of Full House in the DoA universe. I’m the same age as most of the DoA cast, and I remember it being one of my favorite shows. They’d do reruns every day on Nickelodeon early in the morning, up until (I think) the late 2000’s.
I used to watch it as a kid, but I just can’t take that kind of saccharine-sweet sappiness anymore, not even ironically. (I have a hard time getting into formulaic sitcoms now anyway.)
Side note: when Full House and America’s Funniest Home Videos are your first exposure to Bob Saget, stumbling across his stand-up is jarring to say the least. I like to think they were all like Stand-Up Bob on-set between takes. (Even the Olsen twins.)
Not sure how horny they are in general, but fun fact: if you see a male sea otter and it looks like he’s holding a carrot? It’s… probably not a carrot!
It’s a family sitcom from the last big heyday of family sitcoms (early ’80s to around mid ’90s). In some sense it’s the sitcom from that era. The basic synopsis goes like this:
Recent widower and neat freak Danny Tanner invites his deceased wife’s brother Jesse Katsopolis, who is something of a playboy and the frontman for a local rock band, and his best friend Joey Gladstone, a exceptionally silly stand up comedian, to live with him and help raise his three young daughters. Wacky hijinks in the mold of three men and a baby, to which early seasons especially the first bear a strong resemblance, ensue.
It’s exactly the kind of US TV fare from that time period that The Simpsons mocked to such great effect during their early seasons and to boot is probably the most bland, milquetoast, archetypal exemplar of the form.
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
You deserve it.

Is it just me, or does this feel like a conversation that would be equally plausible in Dumbing of Age?
Not just you.
Well, it’d have to be “Fuller House.”

This dweeb knows where Joyce is!
You can tell Joyce
They actually make sex jokes in that show.
The first season at least. Haven’t hated myself enough to watch season 2 yet.
Oh, it gets more awkward. Can’t wait for season 3.

Yep.
Joyce will hug her shoulders like that when scared / disoriented. This time comic, but it’s also been dramatic.

Also I’m Preeeeetty sure that DOA-joyce hasn’t gotten over her pre-marital scuddlybooping yet.
Or, y’know, ANY kind of bangin.
I buy Joyce as a big Full House fan.
That show wasn’t religious, but it was so smug and wholesome that it might as well have been.

I seem to recall hearing about Bob Saget’s INTENSE LOATHING for AFHV
You’re goofy!
HOLD ME!
I’ve informed the police and they’ll leave us alone.
Joe, did you ever meet my parents?

Are… Are sea otters particularly known for being horny?
Huh.
Third time reading that strip and somehow missed that.
Ohh undeniably so.
When exposed to the power of Metaphor™ they are.
“Like sea otters on ‘Full House’ ” is the power of Similie. But they are equally powerful forces.
It’s just all the Power of Synecdoche actually.*

So I decided to look it up because I couldn’t stand not knowing and uhhh…

Apparently there have been incidents where male otters have “forcibly copulated with” juvenile harbor seals??? And otter sex is very rough???

It’s funny, reading this strip and knowing it’s the same guy who currently rakes in that filthy, filthy Slipshine lucre.
Full House ran from 1987-1995, so this strip is definitely showing its age here.
No reruns?
In Norway they have been rerunning the series on and off since the nineties.
Full house?
What?
AMERICANS EXPLAIN (preferably older, 30-ish americans so they actually watched it) .
