The childhood of three girls raised by three men in 1980s/1990s San Francisco was captured in popular sitcom Full House. It brought us plenty of happy memories over the years, from “You got it dude!” and “How rude!” to heartfelt moments and difficult life lessons.
Born from this memorable series were plenty of catchphrases, a great cast of characters and deep-rooted family values. Current generations are rediscovering the series, especially with the release of the revival Fuller House on Netflix, which has once again made the series popular. From all this content, a vast variety of memes have been produced, these 10 of which are just too funny.
Remember Uncle Jesse?
Jesse (John Stamos) was undoubtedly one of the best characters in the show. His rebellious rocker attitude and his obsession with his hair, alongside his dreamy “Have Mercy!” moments, were too much for some of us to bear.
What makes this meme so funny is that it could almost be real. Alice Cooper is obviously the rocker musician on the right and a young John Stamos on the left but it’s feasible. We can see the character of Jesse looking like Alice Cooper these days, but as we’ve seen on the revival, Jesse’s looking a little less rocker lately. Seems like an opportunity lost there.
The Original Duck Face
Let’s face it: we’re already laughing. We’re already picturing the episode and playing it out in our minds. Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) teases Walter alongside her classmates, calling him “duck face”, and when Jesse finds out, he gets his niece to call Walter and apologize.
Unfortunately for Stephanie, she gets teased by her classmates for doing the right thing, until she reminds them of the painful teasing they themselves have endured (in true Full House fashion). As much as we hate to admit it, we can see why Walter was teased so badly…really, “duck face” is just too perfect a description for his look.
How Rude!
Definitely one of Stephanie’s most remembered catchphrases, we’re glad to see this in meme form.
Whenever Stephanie was offended or otherwise slighted by another character, you could bet she’d be exclaiming “How rude!” at some point. It was too adorable. Now, it’s become a good catchphrase for adults who need to say something cleaner than what they actually want to say…
Cut. It. Out.
Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier) is the master of plenty of things. Voices, puppets, physical comedy. He was the Full House character that made us laugh the most with his Rocky and Bullwinkle impressions and his faithful companion, Mr. Woodchuck (who always wanted to know if things were made out of…wood).
One of the funniest things he ever did was his cut-it-out bit in which he’d say the words and have accompanying hand gestures. Meanwhile, we’re busy trying to perfectly imitate cut-it-out for our own usage.
Hey DJ…
Some protest was met with the announcement of the debut of Fuller House. Mostly because it wouldn’t include Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the famous twins that portrayed the youngest daughter, Michelle Tanner.
People had a hard time imagining the show without the iconic character, who coined the terms “You got it dude!” and “You’re in big trouble mister!”, among others. That’s what makes this meme so funny; DJ is virtually telling Michelle she can come back anytime. Audiences would surely be happy to see Michelle Tanner return, even if only for a single episode.
Full House?
Everyone knows Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber), the strange and none-too-bright neighbor that was DJ Tanner’s best friend. This meme is funny because not only does it accentuate Kimmy’s personality, but it also takes the title of the show and incorporates it as part of the joke.
Many things are too complicated for Kimmy; we can imagine a game of poker being one of those things.
Auntie Becky…No Way!
Aunt Becky, played by Lori Loughlin, was a fan-favorite. She was a co-host on Danny’s (Bob Saget) show, and she later married Uncle Jesse. She became close with her three nieces and became their mother figure, offering advice on anything from boys to make-up.
Becky was from Nebraska and was portrayed as wholesome, thoughtful and kind. In real life, Lori Loughlin is now involved in a college scam that has landed her in serious trouble. A meme like this with Michelle’s reaction…accurate.
You Got It, Dude!
It was adorable the way Michelle would say this to just about anyone and include a thumbs-up. It’s no wonder this became not only the best-known catchphrase of Michelle but also one of the best-known catchphrases of the show itself.
It’s the perfect response to just about anything, and we’ve since adopted the catchphrase into pop culture and within our own lives. How could we not? We’ve got it, dude!
The Biggest Burn In Full House
Isn’t it funny how sometimes we miss what’s right in front of us? Many people didn’t catch this insult of Stephanie’s the first or even the second time through, but it was worthy enough to make a meme out of it.
We all know of the rivalry held between Kimmy and Stephanie; Stephanie always found a way to insult Kimmy, and it usually went over Kimmy’s head…or Kimmy would absolutely fail in her attempts to insult Stephanie in the same manner. In any case, this was a significant insult on Stephanie’s part, to the point where it’s downright devious. Read closely, you’ll see why.
Morning As A Kid…Versus Morning As An Adult
As a kid, you couldn’t wait to get up and start the day. You were Michelle, full of life, energetic and containing pure childlike excitement. You wanted to play and have fun.
Unfortunately, as the years go by, that youthful bounce in the morning tends to fade some as responsibilities grow and stress increases. You’re more than happy to stay in bed and watch movies and practically do nothing all day. This meme is the most relatable, and the most hilarious on this list, for that reason. We’re with Stephanie on this one; bad hair day and all.
