Even though "Fuller House" has already been picked up for a second season, most critics did not catch the '90's nostalgia bug that Netflix was going for. John Stamos, who reprised his role of Uncle Jesse in the badly reviewed reboot, stopped by "Late Night with Seth Meyers" on Thursday to talk about the show, but Meyers had alternative plans for the actor.
"I was so nervous about doing this again, because it's so beloved, as you say, and I didn't want to disappoint people," Stamos told Meyers. "I thought it turned out well and people seemed to like it. I read a couple nice reviews, but then there were these crazy [ones] ... These these were so wacky, and they're real."
The late night host then had the actor, who also served as an executive producer on the project, read some of the worst reviews that "Fuller House" got from publications like The Hollywood Reporter and The Washington Post. Meyers read the first review from The Hollywood Reporter's Daniel Fienberg, who wrote: "It's doubtful that there will be a more painful 2016 TV episode than the Fuller House pilot."
"He was being mauled by a bear when he watched that," Stamos told the audience. "You'll love episode 2, Daniel! It's the pilot! I mean, how f--king rude, right?"
The next review came from the Washington Post's Hank Stuever, who said of the show, "there's a point where nostalgia becomes more like necrophilia, and 'Fuller House' immediately crosses that line."
"Do you know what necrophilia is?" Stamos asked the audience.
"It means you have sex with a dead body," Meyers said.
"Is necrophilia if you get screwed by a dead magazine?" Stamos joked.
One of Meyers' and Stamos' favorite reviews came from the A.V. Club who said that "Fuller House" was like a "porn parody without the porn." Stamos then revealed that there was already an actual porn parody of "Fuller House."
"It's really very specific with the catch phrases," Stamos told Meyers. "I think there's a lawsuit. I binge watched that 40 times. You know how you're supposed to binge watch these things."
The final bad review came from James Poniewozik of The New York Times, who said the show "becomes a self-conscious, dated and maudlin reminder of the ceaseless march of time and your inevitable demise."
