Full House (TV Series) No More Mr. Dumb Guy (1990) User Reviews

Oh, but I am smarter than you!

It was absolutely wonderful to see John Stamos sparring with the Van Dyke guy (is it Jerry or Larry?) I loved him in Diagnosis Murder when he played alongside his father, Dick Van Dyke. In this episode, he plays an intelligent old professor of Becky's and Jesse gets jealous - so jealous, in fact, that he checks out a ton of classics from the library (War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, etc.)

Besides the two titles mentioned above (in a funny dialogue with Mr. Van Dyke that will leave you chuckling), there was also mention of Citizen Kane.

Michelle, meanwhile, is being taught un-kind words by her sisters. The sisters, when ordered by their father to re-train her, find that undoing the teaching is almost impossible.

Proving Your Greatness.

So Jesse and Becky, like all couples, must learn to pretend to be something they are not. People do this just to get close to someone and to be appreciated by them. Happens all the time. Now here is what Full House has to say on the subject.

Jesse is the rock 'n' rolling biker in love with the intellectual Becky. Opposites attract. When her old professor, Eric, invites her to a supremely elegant party, Jesse feels competition. People will be talking about Chopin and analyzing Composition II; what does Jesse know about that kind of stuff? He tries to brush up on his scholarly stuff before deciding to fake sick to get out of it. Jealousy strikes again and he decides do go after all. Jesse trying to impress Becky at the party is hilarious because he does not fit in at all. Totally awesome. The ending is ruined in a cheesy Hallmark finale.

The subplot features Stephanie and DJ having fun with Michelle by teaching her insults. I die at this subplot every time.
