Why didn’t he just turn the red privacy light on that was so heavily featured in the last episode? Jesse finally tells everyone to fuck off and quit interrupting him because it’s already hard enough to write a hit song when you don’t have any talent.

Then Aunt Becky comes down and interrupts, too, but at least she brings sandwiches. Pretty soon Joey comes down, too, presumably because one person interrupting Jesse just doesn’t seem like that big of a deal anymore, and he shares an Elvis sighting that he read about in his tabloid newspaper. Naturally, Michelle interrupts him, insisting that he practice for the stupid balloon race at their corny family reunion for nerds. Jessie plunks away on his piano with his dorky glasses on, desperately trying to find the inspiration to finally write a halfway decent song for the first time in his worthless life. Does that bring Stephanie’s creepy obsession with DJ to a new level? Actually it’s starting to seem like everybody’s personality flaws are reaching new heights in this episode… Stephanie is really overly excited about being partners with DJ for the 3-legged race and insists that they be tied together at all times for practice. Michelle’s like, “who gives a shit about that? I want to talk about how you’re going to be my partner at the balloon race at our stupid corny family reunion.” Well, see, she didn’t say that exactly. Jesse tells everyone that he just had a meeting with a record producer who said that he’d give him a contract if he could produce a hit song. Anyway, Aunt Becky wins the pie eating contest, which is pretty upsetting for Joey because he already had so little going for him in life. Jesse comes home just as the pie eating contest is coming to a close but Aunt Becky pauses for a second to kiss him just so she can smear disgusting blueberry pie filling all over his face. The most bizarre moment in the scene is when they cut to Michelle chanting, “be a piggy” over and over again. Did anyone’s family on earth ever actually gather around and do stuff like this? Sometimes this show feels like a Franz Kafka story that’s based off of a Norman Rockwell painting, except without any of the thought or craft. Aunt Becky decides to challenge him to a pie eating sparring match and then there’s a pretty long sequence of everyone staring around cheering while they eat pies. Danny pulls a couple of pies from I’m not sure where and then offers them to Joey for practice. I don’t know why they’re all worried about these stupid events when what they really should be worried about is DJ marrying her cousin again like she did at the Katsopolis family reunion.įor some reason Joey is invited to the Tanner family reunion and they’re all counting on him to win the pie eating contest.

Anyway, once he’s done blowing my mind, Danny tells the family that they’ll all be going to the Tanner family reunion, which is apparently filled with extremely competitive events that everyone in the full house really wants to win. I know that I’ve probably shot my credibility, what with all my explative-laden paraphrasing, but he really does say that, and it is amazing.

That’s the only direction I can see this show going in.Īfter everyone’s all gathered together in the kitchen, Danny puts the bullhorn down and says, “God I love the sound of my own voice,” which is a rare moment of self-awareness for the show. I’m just waiting for the characters to start constantly screaming or bleeding or vomiting in the later seasons.

Do you think the writers would actually sit around and try to think of ways to make the characters more obnoxious? Giving Danny that bullhorn seems really deliberately antagonizing. This episode begins with Joey reading a tabloid newspaper to Aunt Becky, which is a fairly stress-free scene until Danny barges in with a bullhorn and starts shouting at everybody and rounding them up. That’s right, motherfuckers, you better recognize Kimmie Gibbler! Most importantly, however, is the addition of Kimmie Gibbler to the opening credits. Anyway, not much has changed, and there’s still that great shot of Lori Loughlin’s ass, so why even mention it? Well, they changed the most updated shots of all the girls in their little growing-up montages, which includes replacing that horrifying shot of the Olsen twin jumping on her bed with a shot of her playing the drums, so that’s an improvement. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong. I skip the opening sequence a lot, so they might have added the new footage a few episodes ago. Well, I’m pretty sure that it premiers in this episode. This episode also premiers some new footage in the opening sequence. I wish I’d been warned about that ahead of time. This episode doesn’t have a pre-credits gag, presumably because it has a lengthy musical number at the end.
