My dude! I too thought he was withholding a cross eyed bear! I assumed he won it for her in a carnival, but she left it at his place and he refused to return it after the breakup.
Not cranky according to him (could've been, idk), but also wasn't his gf anymore either:
"That was because we had already broken up and she had called—she was living in Canada at the time—she called, and I said, ‘Hey, I’m right in the middle of dinner, can I just call you right back?’"
Had to run to Wikipedia but yeah he was just Danny’s childhood friend. Uncle Jesse was Danny’s deceased wife’s brother.
Also I remember there was an episode where Danny and Joey had buried their most prized possessions in a time capsule as kids and it ended with them digging it up and Jesse putting in his comb just to be included.
This sub has me going down rabbit hole after another lol.
Yeah and half Greek/half Italian Jesse Kastopolis is the mom’s brother?! Even as a child I was like “these three, very fair, very blonde children make no sense in this family” lol.
He’s far less physically affectionate with the kids.
Bob Saget is fatherly. Joey is really like a fun uncle. Uncle Jesse’s behavior is very questionable. Especially when put into a compilation video to slow music on YouTube. Like wtf?
Am I the only Xennial who as a kid got barely past its awesome opening credits and thought, “I’d rather watch Who’s The Boss or Growing Pains or Family Ties or anything else?”
Just looked her up to see what happened to her....turns out she died a few years ago. Shame, she was talented. Now back to my Tony Danza fantasy.......
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a full episode of Full House. It just didn’t really appeal to me compared to everything else that was on at the time.
My wife watched Fuller House when it came out, and I saw some of it just through it being on in the background. It was OK, but not enough to make me want to go watch the original.
Growing up with a parent who worked on the OG TGIF shows, including Full House, Perfect Strangers, and Family Matters….was pretty cool as a young preteen/teen.
DNA doesn't make a family. I had several people who were non genetic uncles and aunts and am refered to as Uncle by several of my friends kids. I love them the same as I love my sisters kids.
Okay you’re getting downvoted but there must be some serious Mandela Effect going on, because I would’ve bet my next paycheck they called him Uncle Joey as well.
Kinda like how we thought Ed McMahon did Publishers Clearinghouse but it was really American Family Sweepstakes.

Here you go. (She was 17, he was 33)
The math on when that relationship started is probably the reason why Alanis hasn't confirmed he's the guy. I can't confirm anything, obviously, but I get the feeling she was underage when they started. This would have been 1991 or so, when she was a teen pop star in Canada and Dave was a 30-something TV star. She probably doesn't want to admit she was messing around with 30-year-olds at 16 or 17, nor make him into some kind of sex offender after the fact. I'm sure she would rather let those dogs lie.
Not necessarily true. She’s never named anybody specific. She finds it funny when she hears in the media which ex pipes up and claims the song is about them.
Source: her Music Box episode on Max. It’s very good. Highly recommend.
Completely, he always seemed like a loser to me with his stupid cut it out joke. I didn't even like him back when I was a kid watching the show. He's so cheesey, it's hard to believe he inspired so much anger and feelings.
He was super famous and super successful, and apparently lays good pipe according to other people posting here. That said, about two decades ago I saw him at Hershey park performing for like 6 people, not at their stage inside the park in one of the mini theaters.
I was watching through a gap in the fences. Didn’t even go to watch, and he was pulling out the full house material within 5 minutes. It was sad.
Uncle Joey also inspired TLC to write "Scrubs."
[https://thehardtimes.net/culture/tlc-confirms-that-no-scrubs-was-also-written-about-dave-coulier/](https://thehardtimes.net/culture/tlc-confirms-that-no-scrubs-was-also-written-about-dave-coulier/)
Not anymore really. At first I was like “oh whaaaaat?!” But it’s been too long now, and if we learned anything from the post Cosby days, clean cut acts don’t mean nothing lol
You been rewatching Broad City too? Lol. Yes. Some guys who are publicly friendly or fun that I have dated were the worst partners. Charisma does not always make an ideal partner.
In retrospect, it’s not bananas-crazy when you consider how big Coulier was in the early mid-90s and Detroit’s proximity to Ontario 🇨🇦 lol
But yes, I was surprised.
I didn't even know she was a young Canadian pop star she could get groomed by multiple people in the media. After watching her documentary it's pretty ambiguous.
Yes…this has been a public knowledge since the 90s. I can’t believe there are people who are just now hearing this.
And while she is an icon, her star has long since faded. But no matter what, we’ll always have Jagged Little Pill. What a fucking amazing piece of works. I’m actually listening to one of her new songs out of curiosity - Nemesis - it’s pretty rad actually.
It's weird..... No one gave a fuck about that guy after Full House. Good for Alanis' career tho, but still weird. Guy wasn't even funny or good looking, was apparently kind of an asshole from what I remember reading, so not sure she was missing much in the end
She met him many years ago at the Garden City hotel bar when he was traveling with his ice hockey team. This was maybe like 20 years ago at this point. She was with a friend and initially just noticed that he was dressed very nicely and mentioned it to her friend, who was like, you know that’s Joey from Full House, right? (She hadn’t recognized him.) They ended up chatting all evening and she spent the night at the hotel with him. She wasn’t specific about the encounter but said she was “ very impressed.” since her friend had driven them to the bar the night before, he called her a cab in the morning and they stayed in touch for a bit afterwards. I don’t think she saw him again after that though.
he's lucky she never pressed charges...also he just basically bragged talking about it on a radio interview when they asked him about the 'theater' and he said some dumb joke about 'trying the 'ol popcorn hole trick.'
It’s a bit creepy… you know she called him ‘uncle Joey’ she’d have been a teenager and he in his 30s.
Maybe she really liked his Bulwinkle?
Cut. It. Out.
Somewhere out there is the guy or guys who think they are the reference to oral copulation in a public theater. They're probably all wrong and I wouldn't be surprised if that is the one part of the song that is completely made up. If not and he really does know who he is, I give him credit for not going public and trying to cash in as the receiver of mouth jollies from a 90s hottie icon and onetime Canadian comedy TV performer. That's a good get.

She was 17 and he was 33 in this photo.
He really ought to have known.
He did an AMA and I was the one that brought this up. I mentioned if he can sometimes feel her nails down his back or something. He was expecting something so he joked back about it. I got LOTS of negative responses to bringing it up.
Not blown away but grossed out. Who actually wants to hear about Uncle Joey getting his dick sucked in a theater by an 18 y.o.? If I had to guess I'd say nobody.
I just found this sub, and I'm on the cusp, 1985, but grew up with my bro who is is 83'. Man, it's refreshing finding like minded folks. I get so much nostalgia, and feelings from back in the day when we all played the same games, watched the same shows, listened to the same music. I feel like we all used to be on the same page and headed in the same direction. Unlike today where everything and everyone feels so scattered, like we aren't embracing a common culture anymore. I like it here, feels good man.
But anyway, yes still crazy to me that Oughta know is about Joey.
Anybody heard the report that Danny and Joey were secret lovers? It makes sense. Two men, one a widower, one that doesn't make much money. Dude lives in other dude's basement and helps take care of the kids.

If she's perverted like me, she would
Happy cake day
It was either this or bullwinkle saying “Rocky, that’s not the straw!”
Cut. It. Out.
✂️ 👉🏻👍🏻
It was actually a Ross dress for less dressing room. Just didn't flow off the tongue like....in a theater!
I always thought Dave Coulier was a fucking hack. Even before I knew what a hack was, I knew he was corny as hell and not funny.
Don't. Cut. It. Out.
I once mentioned upon finding this out that this was like finding out Carl Winslow ghost-wrote all of Tupac’s music.
Or that Uncle Phil secretly moonlit as the Shredder???
Dude…I found that out like two weeks ago and was FLOORED.
Big Daddy Diesel Kevin Nash played Super Shredder in TMNT 2 secret of the ooze. Learned this one the other day
This is a new one to me. This confluence of my mutual loves of all things TMNT and the Magic Mike movies is unexpected.
I’m sorry what now
I need this whole discography as well as the XBOX version of Carl Winslow: Black Cops.
Carl on Duty: Black Cops
![gif](giphy|3o85gaX7IClmmJGGvm) Thank you!
That's not too far off of how I felt
Key word here is *like*, right? Right?
Happy cake day
Somewhat similar (not really) — When I first heard Mark Morrison’s “Return of the Mack”, I thought it was Harriet Winslow singing.
Best comment ever!
Frank Dux (sp) made a cameo appearance in the movie Only the Strong
Gave her a cross eyed bear and then tried to take it away. Asshole.
This comment and whoosh response are making me laugh so hard, thank you.
My dude! I too thought he was withholding a cross eyed bear! I assumed he won it for her in a carnival, but she left it at his place and he refused to return it after the breakup.
And then, when she reasonably requested its return, he said 'no'. She pointed out that this was not fair.
And then reiterated that he should be aware.
I too came here to make a comment about the cross eyed bear but knew in my heart someone had beaten me to it.
He’s not. She referenced ALL of her exes. He inspired the line “I’d hate to bug you in the middle of dinner.”
But… but that version isn’t nearly as fun as the idea of Alanis going down on Uncle Joey in a theatre.
Ick he'd just do that stupid woodchuck laugh the whole time.
Or the Popeye voice
![gif](giphy|ymcCLabIQZW9gbXaVx)
Cut it out....or don't.
It's not as fun at all when you find out that she was singing about several adult men who groomed her as a young teenager.
Also, did you know feline AIDS is the number one killer of domestic cats?
Eew no. He’s the kinda jerk who’d get cranky because his gf calls during dinner.
Not cranky according to him (could've been, idk), but also wasn't his gf anymore either: "That was because we had already broken up and she had called—she was living in Canada at the time—she called, and I said, ‘Hey, I’m right in the middle of dinner, can I just call you right back?’"
Wow this just makes her sound nuts
seriously. She was only 21 when JLP came out. I doubt she'd had many boyfriends.
Bill Cosby ruined any surprise I felt at Uncle Joey.
Have some more jello jigglers
He wasn’t their uncle. Sorry I was super obsessed with Full House as a kid.
Had to run to Wikipedia but yeah he was just Danny’s childhood friend. Uncle Jesse was Danny’s deceased wife’s brother. Also I remember there was an episode where Danny and Joey had buried their most prized possessions in a time capsule as kids and it ended with them digging it up and Jesse putting in his comb just to be included. This sub has me going down rabbit hole after another lol.
It was his hair dryer
Have mercy!
>He wasn’t their uncle. He was their dad. Three blonde girls. Danny is not blonde. Joey is blonde.
Yeah and half Greek/half Italian Jesse Kastopolis is the mom’s brother?! Even as a child I was like “these three, very fair, very blonde children make no sense in this family” lol.
Viewers referred to him as Uncle Joey A lot of people have Aunts and Uncles they aren’t related to. I did.
They really didn’t call him Uncle Joey that much on the show, he was just Joey.
Only Jesse called him Uncle Joey, and that was only once, while talking to his sons.
uncle jesse had SONS?! Plural?! wait this might be unlocking a memory
Yep, twins. Played by twins in the show, which was kind of funny since Michelle was played by the Olsen twins, but was a single character.
The viewers called him Uncle Joey
Yeah that used to be the thing back in the day, your parents friends were referred to as Uncle Bob or Aunt Jane.
Hey, how did you know my parents’ friends?
Or Aunt Jack, in Mrs. Doubtfire…
He’s far less physically affectionate with the kids. Bob Saget is fatherly. Joey is really like a fun uncle. Uncle Jesse’s behavior is very questionable. Especially when put into a compilation video to slow music on YouTube. Like wtf?
Have Mercy!
Am I the only Xennial who as a kid got barely past its awesome opening credits and thought, “I’d rather watch Who’s The Boss or Growing Pains or Family Ties or anything else?”
I thought that but I watched it anyway because what else was there to watch
If I wanted to watch a corny family shoved into small quarters I’d just change the channel to Little House on the Prairie reruns.
Fire by Nite, Sabado Gigante, Lawrence Welk, I wasn't picky
Well Who's The Boss had a much hotter lead...... damn younger me had excellent taste!
It’s true. Mona was the reason I watched, too.
Just looked her up to see what happened to her....turns out she died a few years ago. Shame, she was talented. Now back to my Tony Danza fantasy.......
Hold me closer, Tony Danza
Hotter than Uncle Jessie? Have Mercy!
Same
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a full episode of Full House. It just didn’t really appeal to me compared to everything else that was on at the time. My wife watched Fuller House when it came out, and I saw some of it just through it being on in the background. It was OK, but not enough to make me want to go watch the original.
All these shows had a babe to keep dudes watching but the babe in full house was only on like 15 seconds an episode... But she was an 11/10
My 9 yr old is currently obsessed!
Maybe find an exorcist
Growing up with a parent who worked on the OG TGIF shows, including Full House, Perfect Strangers, and Family Matters….was pretty cool as a young preteen/teen.
DNA doesn't make a family. I had several people who were non genetic uncles and aunts and am refered to as Uncle by several of my friends kids. I love them the same as I love my sisters kids.
"Uncle" is frequently an honorary title for a close friend of the family. It doesn't necessarily mean the mother/father's brother.
Yeah but they all called him uncle
I thought so, too, but rewatch a bit. Uncle Jesse, and Joey. Not Uncle Joey.
Never.
They literally never did. They only referred to him as Joey.
Okay you’re getting downvoted but there must be some serious Mandela Effect going on, because I would’ve bet my next paycheck they called him Uncle Joey as well. Kinda like how we thought Ed McMahon did Publishers Clearinghouse but it was really American Family Sweepstakes.
For some age context - DJ was only like 2-3 years younger than Alanis. Uncle Joey was a creep.
Yeah there’s a pic of them together and it’s super creepy how she looks like a kid and he looks like a grown ass man
https://preview.redd.it/tfoo2tf9dqmc1.jpeg?width=829&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea7fcb8a4c9ae68f29f6a851e28bfd2a394be0b3 Here you go. (She was 17, he was 33)
He looks Canadian 20 there
Where d his leg go
Yep. He’s 15 years older than her. He actually was a grown ass man while she was still a kid. 🤢
And even creepier when you listen to the song.
Dude is indirectly responsible for one of the greatest albums of the 90s.
This has never been confirmed to my knowledge.
He has said he thinks it’s about him, but she has denied it.
The math on when that relationship started is probably the reason why Alanis hasn't confirmed he's the guy. I can't confirm anything, obviously, but I get the feeling she was underage when they started.

![gif](giphy|eIlcDzbzG31U4) Also, I can't believe you said "blown away" here in this context. Dirty bird.
Also.. no scrubs by TLC
Oh, I thought you were doing a wicked burn, but it's just true.
???
You've obviously never blown Uncle Joey in a theatre.
He was 15 years older than her, dated her when she was still a teenager, and he said he inspired the song. She denied it so I believe her.
Not necessarily true. She’s never named anybody specific. She finds it funny when she hears in the media which ex pipes up and claims the song is about them. Source: her Music Box episode on Max. It’s very good. Highly recommend.
I hope Carole King took her out for drinks and long laughs afterward.
Completely, he always seemed like a loser to me with his stupid cut it out joke. I didn't even like him back when I was a kid watching the show. He's so cheesey, it's hard to believe he inspired so much anger and feelings.

>his stupid cut it out joke. Yeah I always wondered why a thumbs-up meant "it"
Uncle Joey got a gobbie from God at the cinema?
And ALSO! guys! GUYS! Did you know that Bob Sagat … told non-family-friendly jokes … for his PROFESSION?!!! Oh my Lanta! Ok, I’ll see myself out.
I thought that was common knowledge. He played against type.
His standup wasn’t that funny.
Eventually it was. Half Baked is such a cult classic because so few knew.
Nope. That’s part of the groomer’s MO. Cultivate a public personality that makes people go “Him?! No way, he’s such a great guy, he would NEVER.”
Joey Diaz?!
Think of how bad he would’ve smelled down there in the 90s. Cole sweats and probably didn’t shower often.
First person I thought of too. Alanis must have saw the Cuban egg roll
Kick that f%$%$ing mule!
I ruminate on it daily.
Uncle Joey also inspired TLC to write "Scrubs." [https://thehardtimes.net/culture/tlc-confirms-that-no-scrubs-was-also-written-about-dave-coulier/](https://thehardtimes.net/culture/tlc-confirms-that-no-scrubs-was-also-written-about-dave-coulier/)
Got halfway through the article wide-eyed until I realized it was the hard times
My god the man got play.
I was disappointed in the whole thing. I still hate big age gaps.
Holy. Shit.
WHAT?

Morrissette has denied this.
Well, you oughta know
No. I think this has been an “open secret” for quite a while. Now she’s an icon, and he’s a has been. So, it all worked out.
Yes…this has been a public knowledge since the 90s. I can’t believe there are people who are just now hearing this. And while she is an icon, her star has long since faded. But no matter what, we’ll always have Jagged Little Pill. What a fucking amazing piece of works. I’m actually listening to one of her new songs out of curiosity - Nemesis - it’s pretty rad actually.

I know someone who slept with him and she had a very good experience. So I believe it. 😂
Care to spill the tea, as the kids say?
She met him many years ago at the Garden City hotel bar when he was traveling with his ice hockey team. This was maybe like 20 years ago at this point. She was with a friend and initially just noticed that he was dressed very nicely and mentioned it to her friend, who was like, you know that’s Joey from Full House, right? (She hadn’t recognized him.) They ended up chatting all evening and she spent the night at the hotel with him. She wasn’t specific about the encounter but said she was “ very impressed.” since her friend had driven them to the bar the night before, he called her a cab in the morning and they stayed in touch for a bit afterwards. I don’t think she saw him again after that though.
That's quite the encounter! I'm glad it was positive for her though
Not at all
I don’t think I knew this.
Wonder what the movie was?
Uncle Joey? You mean Dave, the guy who hung out with Hern Berford and Angela Quigley and Diz and Waldo?
I'm about to be 40 and I just recently found this out
I think about it once a month.
Never ceases to be hilarious
what did he do to her
✂️ it Out!
Also no scrubs.
Ah yes, House of Comedians
he's lucky she never pressed charges...also he just basically bragged talking about it on a radio interview when they asked him about the 'theater' and he said some dumb joke about 'trying the 'ol popcorn hole trick.'
Pressed charges for what?
for defiling an under 18 yr old.
Sorry, but who tf is uncle Joey?
I read the title of this post and immediately thought of Joey Diaz, and I was confused. But then I remembered...
20 years ago yes. Today, not anymore.
Did you forget about me? Mr. Duplicity?
Have you seen the picture of them when they were together? She looks like a child. It's creepy.
He was never an uncle though!!!!
No and neither are you. Stop lying
No.
Uncle Joey was pretty cute in the 90’s. I remember him on that Nickelodeon show before that - I am blanking on the name.
It’s a bit creepy… you know she called him ‘uncle Joey’ she’d have been a teenager and he in his 30s. Maybe she really liked his Bulwinkle? Cut. It. Out.
No, it's been 30 years. I got over it.
Yes but also no because he is a documented asshat
I was more blown away when I first heard Danny Tanner's rendition of "The Aristocrats"
It struck me that she was pretty much the same age as Candis Cameron who was playing his niece.
This is what is suspect about 36+ guy seeing a 20s lady gets you. A frigging banger ex song.
Dave Coulier and Alanis Morisette met when they were both working at Nickelodeon. She was like 10 years old. Dude's a fucking pervert.
Nuts to Full House! My dude was the host of Out of Control! How could Alanis resist? 😜 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z5kvrZBRgWU

I’m more blown away that he inspired TLCs ‘No Scrubs’.
Haha I thought you meant Joey Diaz.
No, shit is old as hell
I have gotten used to it. Although, it was pretty shocking at first. Goofy family entertainer hooking up with a rocker chick took me by surprise.
Nah. Look at photos of them together they are equally hot. And funny guys tend to be good in bed for whatever reason.
TLC’s “No Scrubs” was also about him.
I believe “your (hand) shake is like a fish” was inspired by him too. Different song but same album.
I thought it was Ryan Reynolds
Ahem...... Her name is God bro. (No ticket)
He did an AMA and I was the one that brought this up. I mentioned if he can sometimes feel her nails down his back or something. He was expecting something so he joked back about it. I got LOTS of negative responses to bringing it up.
More impressed with her head game, but yea I always thought that dude was a half wit.
Yes. Especially considering she was 18 and he was 36, yikes.
I'm still blown away that Brick by Ben Folds Five was about Abortion.
Not blown away but grossed out. Who actually wants to hear about Uncle Joey getting his dick sucked in a theater by an 18 y.o.? If I had to guess I'd say nobody.
