It was established that Danny's parents were divorced when he was a kid. And he had to fill in as man of the house. His mother Claire was also a clean freak as she encouraged her son to keep clean. And due to his responsibilities, he wished to not only keep the house in line, but to also make his mother proud.
Ive been through a lot of trauma (not a spouse death though) and hyperfocusing on a single thing that you can control isnt uncommon. When someone goes through trauma the biggest feeling they have can be lack of control, and the idea of having something that they can be comforting
I remember in an episode of Full House where Danny took Stephanie to a therapist to deal with her PTSD. While Stephanie was drawing a picture for her the therapist started to question Danny as to why he was dusting her coffee table during their conversation! Unfortunately Stephanie got done with her drawing before Danny could answer.
I don't remember how I was first introduced to Full House. I probably just found it whilst watching all the "TGIF" shows. As for Danny being so clean, as an adult I thought maybe they wrote him that way as a joke because in real life Bob Saget's humor was so dirty and raunchy. I like your theory better though. :D I love that you're doing videos on classic sitcoms, I can't wait to see more. :)
@@TheFangirlWatches it was great, sad, but it makes sense and you can respect him as a parent even more for not letting it get in the way of his paternal skills ^-^
Dark theory, fun. Well thought out too! Yet actually, I think the show dose explain the cleaning, and much more simple: Grandmas. In a flashback/early episode the house WAS a mess, as none of the grown -a$& men were used to cleaning, and were adjusting to the new living arrangements. So of course sitcom shenanigans occur and Danny’s mother makes a surprise visit, quickly decides (and rightfully so for the time) that she can’t have her grandchildren living like that and decides to move in. When Joey and Jessie try to back Danny up, she calls in THEIR mothers! So faced with having their lives and home controlled by their mothers again, The boys go into super cleaning mode, until the mothers are satisfied and agree to leave, with the “threat” of pop back in to check in on them occasionally. Danny, with that in mind, never leaves super clean mode. He wants his independence from mom, pulse it IS healthier for all involved, even if it drives everyone crazy sometimes!
I became OBSESSED when I was like 3 or 4 (about 8 years after it had ended), and would watch Full House every night on Nick at Nite and fall asleep in my mom's room after it was over😂 I was so in love with the show that the Easter Bunny had brought me some DVDs one year
I used to watch it as a kid when it was on the first time, then I used to watch it on ABC Family when it went there when I was a teen. I grew watching it. I ended up getting the DVD box set a couple of years ago. All the seasons. I even have the first couple of seasons of Fuller House on DVD. Both great shows.
He mentioned his mom in an episode of full house with spring cleaning, his mom was like him and called him her little helper, and started doing that with Michelle, I personally think it was just how she raised him
"A lot of us young ones back then were completely obsessed with this series called 'Full House'." - and then there's me, immediately rewatching this show whenever I finish it. :D
I remember it being part of the TGIF line up in which I couldn't wait till Friday night every week to watch i was 5 when it aired and yes i cried when it ended i would watch it with my grandmother... oh to go back to a happier carefree time in my life...
I actually remember the episode where they kept the house super sloppy, and their mothers came in. The plot from what I recall was that Danny's mother would have stayed there if he didn't get his act together. I think it was that episode where he realized he could channel his grief and trauma into cleaning, and possibly tie some of his neurotic tendencies to his mother
I began watching it with my grandmother. She thought it was a perfect family show. And I had an uncle with the same obsessive cleaning as Danny. Thank you for the new video!
I met Full House when I was 12 or 13 years old. Here in Brazil, on a broadcaster called SBT there is a children's TV program called Bom Dia e Companhia (something like "Good Morning Inc." in the translation), which alternates between segments of play with the presenters and cartoons or comedy series. Full House was one of the series shown from 2013 to 2014 (this broadcaster is well known for playing older series). I remember coming home from school and, right after lunch, running in front of the TV to watch. Plus: I found your channel recently and I'm in love with your videos. I also write theories and do analysis of films, series and cartoons and you are being one of my great inspirations. Thank you for making videos so complete and well explained.
2017-2018 was the worst year of my life. I definitely understand going under trauma and finding solace in things. I find that when the house is clean my mind is clean
U know as a young woman who's dealt & still facing childhood trauma (went thru the Foster system & being separated from my parents when I was 7 & all the 12 Foster families I had to go thru) going thru trauma & facing it as an adult, trying to "control & micromanage" is my (& many others who's dealt w/trauma) of having a sense of control. U aren't too far off, in all honesty u r correct. When someone goed thru something anything that's physically & emotionally traumatizing u lose that sense of control u thought u had & will do anything to gain it back. & as a now 22 year old, I'm re-watching the Full House show w/new eyes, & relate to Danny & his need for control over some part of his life. It's not uncommon. But what I'm glad about now is that the mental health topic is now a more open subject instead of being swept under the rug. I don't like how in the 80s & 90s that all mental trauma & issues were seen as a bad thing. It's kinda twisted when u look at it
I'm sorry you had to go through those hardships, but I'm so glad your self-aware enough to recognize the trauma it caused. A lot of people get too uncomfortable to deal with hard realities and they get worse. I hope things are looking up for you now 💕
Its not only worrying about the kids due to trauma, it was also fun for him to clean. Cleaning day for him was like a national holiday and he enjoyed it a ton, much to the displeasure of the rest of the family.
There’s an early episode in season 1 where Danny doesn’t want to clean al ALL! The house is complete wreck & none of the guys want to take responsibility or clean the house so they call there moms to come & clean for them but when they refuse the boys buckle down & finally clean up the house. It’s like a completely different Danny than the rest of the series. The episode is 1x04 “The Return Of Grandma”
I grew up watching me and my daddy would whatch it while my mom was at work i grew up loving the twins and loving all the guys i loved the guy with the dark hair and the laether jacket i also grew to love the guy who coult talk like cartoons
I think I started watching it on TGIF, but I was around 8 when the show started, so I can't remember clearly. I remember thinking that DJ was so cool. I was a dancer like Stephanie, but I didn't like her for some reason. I do now, though, and some of her stuff on Fuller House has made me cry. I also say "Oh, Mylanta". 😂
I don't know when I started watching full house, but I know it was always on nick at night when I was a kid, and I watched every time it came on. I was so enamored by it that I actually named the golden retriever mix that my grandparents got me, Comet
I have a theory why Danny was nervous about DJ learning to drive because his wife died from the drunk driver while driving the car so he is worried that the same thing will happen to DJ
That makes a lot of sense. There was one scene where he was tense watching a movie with a car chase in it or something. Then he flipped out when DJ told him that she got into an accident while learning to drive from Jesse! She just scrathed up Jesse's mustang by misjuging a turn.
the first time i got introduced to full house was when i was 4 my dad put it on so he was watching it and i looked at what he was watching and it was rlly interesting so i watched 1 episode with him and i luved it and still do
That’s so great that it was a family thing for you guys. I can remember after a few weeks asking why my dad wasn’t watching it any more and he was like “I put it on for you and I thought you didn’t like it!”. NOOOO! I LOVE IT!
I grew up watching reruns. I was born in the middle of the 90s so I basically just watched it through reruns most of my life but I really loved the show. It was up there with Little House for me.
I remember watching it along with shows like Sabrina, it was a show I could "safely" watch growing up. I like your theory but I also wonder if Danny's wife was the one to do most of the cleaning before she died. As a result, he had to take over that and the cooking and stuff, and discovered how he could "control" things that way.
well aside from Dannys cleaning habits, I got into Full House at 7 years old. Back when a channel called Abc Family would air reruns mostly 90s shows like Family matters and Step by Step in the early 2000s. I came across this show because the Olsen twin girls were so popular during that time and I looked up to them. Just wanted to see their acting careers at such a young age. Ever since I got hooked watching it every afternoon during summer breaks. It was such a heartwarming show and I could kinda relate to some of the episodes as well. I even got the first season on dvd. Rest In Peace Bob Saget. The whole cast was really a real family to all of us. 🌉🏡
I think that he’s like that is because his mother was always like that, Danny even said it himself in the full house show, he was always cleaning as a kid, and that’s what made him a clean freak, and he was scared he was doing that to Michelle. At the end the girls say they like the clean Danny not the gross Danny.
I found it becuase i was obsessed with victorious that my mom had enough and showed me full house at first i didn’t like it when they were just babies but now I watched all of it and loved it and now I’m on to the fuller house now I’ve watched it 20000009 TIMES lol
It was always on reruns. I loved the girls and joey but every other adult weirded me out. Jessy was a jerk who was obsessed with himself. Which in turn would make him freak about the smallest stuff. And the girls were always sorry but sometimes scared of his reactions. And the dad was over bearing. I had a mom very much like Danny and his control issues and it made me sad the girls had to live like that too. To me joey was the one who was kind and willing to just be there. As a kid he was more of what I though a parent was supposed to be. But the show just tried to make him out to be the guy who couldn't grow up. A pathetic peter pan if you will. It was those points where I had to stop watching. For a show famous for being family friendly, I saw a lot of unhealthy tropes and treatment.
i’m glad you didn’t just say he had OCD 😅. i have ocd and while i don’t have cleaning as a compulsion and i only know my experiences, it seems to me that the people who do have cleaning as a compulsion don’t just enjoy cleaning, it’s something they feel they _have_ to do. ocd is an anxiety disorder and the thing that separates them from other anxiety disorders are compulsions that cause distress and disrupt functioning. i think the reason people get confused is because one of the most common types of ocd is probably contamination or health concern. using your examples: someone might label their mugs and have a very specific place for each one as to not spread germs because they have a fear of COVID for example and washing them isn’t enough. someone might check the floor multiple times for pieces of broken glass because they want to avoid someone falling and getting glass in their eye. they might freak out over a mess and inspect it because they don’t want to lost something (hoarding is actually a form of ocd). again i don’t have these compulsions there is no specific compulsion that is required to have ocd, it’s really about the motivation and how it affects you. did you do a theory on monica from friends as well? a lot of people say she has ocd or ocpd cause she “enjoys it” but i think it could be linked to her love of food. like how some people use food as a substitute for emotional connection and monica’s parents were not the best lol like they very clearly favored ross in front of her!
Super Rad!! Explanation of Danny Tanner Fangirl. I think you hit Danny dead nuts center. I grow up with this show and loved watching T.G.I.F. with the family on Friday nights, which included Full House!! Which was so fun to watch as a teenager. Plus I might of had a huge crush on Candice Cameron He He...at the time of course. I believe were the same age or close.
Awesome video. Excellent theory. I loved that show. Hmm...that theory would explain it. You do have a good point. Poor Danny. Makes sense in a way. That explains so much.. That in a way is really sad... Always be fantastic. Awesome theory You're so fantastic. 💜.
I honestly don't remember how or when I was introduce to Full House, I just know that I've been obsessed with the series ever since. To this day, I still haven't seen every episode of Full House and it's driving me insane.
Ugh, I meant to say introduced. I'm irritated with myself whenever I don't notice these grammatical errors until after I've already posted a comment. 🤦🏻
I like this theory but I think it came from his mother, there was an episode when it was spring cleaning day and Danny said that his mother gave him a wash cloth or something I don’t remember but it had something to do with cleaning. His mom called him “his little helper” and he continued to call Michelle his little helper too. To sum this theory up I think he got if from his mom and his mom got it from getting divorced. I still love your theory though!
I used to study phycology textbooks for kicks as a kid. I always thought Danny had OCD. There are several types of it. And I made it to the end. I was a baby when the original show came out, one of the few shows at the time that we could watch that didn't need a cable or satellite subscription.
What you described as OCD is very specific and not at all true of most cases. Also, OCD is not normally emotional and is very much a mindset, typically revolving around control. In trying to describe Danny as not OCD, you actually made the perfect case for it. LOTS of people do their compulsive acts precisely to keep their loved ones from dying.
Sadly, in 2013 my father pased alot happened the docs gave me the high testosterone birth control pill my ex husband hated me cause after my father died that exact thing happened. i became a neat freak and became like what ur describing. during the separation i got off the pill im in the happiest relationship ive ever been in but it took alot of self reflection and A LOT OF WILL POWER to over come it.
My older sister got me into Full House she had recorded a lot of the show on video cassette. Kimmy has been my favorite character since original Full House and in Fuller House. I got to see Dave Coulier aka Joey at a show he did in 2008.
You know I didn't love Kimmy initially but she is the best in Fuller House. She's a good mom, she has self respect while still being open to forgiveness. She's a good friend, a good sister, a woman with high self esteem. I'm so #TeamKimmy now lol
I know I’m commenting on a video thats 4 years old but I just started getting into Fuller and I was a full fan in its original run. I like the show even though some of the characters get to be pretty unbearable after a while mainly Fernando, Jimmy, and Max. Other than the main three women who are pretty great and I liken them to the Golden Girls, I love Steve and Matt. Their characters are pretty great and I thought it would have been fun to see them featured a bit more independent from the groups like when they were best friends since it was one of my favorite storylines of the show.
i met full house because my mother named me after Rebecca Donaldson, Uncle Jesse's wife LOL, I was born in 1998. I LOVE the show and watched a bunch of times already.
I got into Full House because *I'm old*. So old, I knew Dave Coulier from a show he did on Nickelodeon called Our of Control. (He still did the "Cut, it, out" bit on that show too.) I do think that it's worth pointing out that in the early first season, Danny wasn't a neat freak. There are episodes with him being a complete slob! Just something the writers worked in later, not caring too much about past continuity. But as the show went on, the writers did figure out they had to let their formula adapt as it progressed. Let's be honest. The premise of the show was trying to one up the hit movie, Three Men and a Baby. Three guys raising three girls and they don't have a clue what they're doing! By season 2 they figured out they could only take that "clueless" idea for so long. And they let it grow past that. I think part of that was making Danny the captain of clean, because he couldn't just be a dude trying to figure out little girls any more. Lastly, yes therapy was big in the 80s and 90s, especially in California, like San Francisco. No one would have batted an eyelash at Danny seeing a counselor after the death of his wife. I remember some shows at the time joking about how, "my therapist has a therapist." Or "my dog has his own shrink.". Or "my marriage is so rough, my wife and I see separate psychologists.". Heck another show from about that time was Growing Pains, where the father was a psychiatrist. I think the TV show Danny worked for would probably provide counseling, and if they thought his job performance was slipping, they might even insist on it. Unrelated side note, did you ever watch that VelociPastor movie you mentioned on Twitter?
I haven't seen it all so I don't know if this is what you say, but maybe Pam died for unknown causes -I forgot if there is any proof of how she died- and he wants all his girls to be safe and not die, he might think pam died from cleanliness of the house.
They do say in one of the later seasons that Pam was killed by a drunk driver. So, she wasn’t sick and didn’t do anything wrong, she was just a sad statistic. :(
I just grew up watching it, even though i was born in 95. I know my younger sister would record the shows on vhs tapes and we would watch it together and that my older sister and brother grew up watching it.
I remember that I didn’t like full house I though it was stupid My sister was the one who really liked it and after I saw an episode I became obsessed with the show 🤣🤣☺️☺️☺️ 📺 now I watch it on Hulu and recently started watching Fuller House ☺️☺️
yeah. idk what ur ocd is like i only know what mine is like. i don’t really have cleaning as a compulsion so i don’t really know but it seems to me danny is just a neat-freak because it seems to me that most people with ocd that clean compulsively do that because they have a terrible fear of losing something or something becoming contaminated, i don’t know though. but also keep in mind danny genuinely enjoys cleaning. he said himself spring cleaning day is his christmas. if he was a real person with ocd, he would not necessarily enjoy it it would more or less be something he _has_ to do i think. but again i only know my experiences.
Emilee Nedz it's different for everyone. After watching this video I no longer think he has OCD. I didn't really take into consideration that he enjoyed cleaning. Compulsions aren't pleasant. I don't have cleaning compulsions, but I do have some people in my life with OCD who do. OCD is classified as an anxiety disorder, but I think his stress was due to being a single father rather than having OCD. Thanks for your perspective!😁 It's nice to hear what others have to say
I never heard of Fuller House. I watched Full House a bit as a child with some neighbor girls. They LOVED the show. I never liked the characters for some reason. At that age I was very into watching reruns of black and white shows such as Leave It To Beaver and The Addams Family.
I feel kinda bad for Danny.T and me to I LOVE Full house and Fuller house and I sub'd to you ad turned on he notifacaitions and gave it a BIG thumbs up lov you fangirl.
Actually this is pretty true. The first episode the moms come in because the place was a mess. They made comments about how he cleaned when he was younger but he stopped more with Pam.Jesse made jokes about Danny getting counseling which he never does. Danny also gets really controlling when DJ learns to drive. So yeah, it was definitely Pam. If he got counseling and dealt with it and actually let someone close again he probably get passed it.
Ickis! You have a Aaah! Real Monsters! plush at your room. My older sister loves watching the show that she has a Hulu account to watch it. And I thought the child abuse episode was serious.
Oh I remember that episode! But it really took a serious topic and brushed it under the rug. Foster care often led to heavy medications and huge amounts of trauma in the 90s (even now, if I'm being honest). The Tanners didn't do the wrong thing, but it's not like they swooped in and made his life better either, and they didn't show any of this from the abused child's side.
@@TheFangirlWatches yeah but he wanted to hide it or he'll never got to see his friends again, or if he told someone that his dad was hurting him then his dad would hurt him more.
It was established that Danny's parents were divorced when he was a kid. And he had to fill in as man of the house. His mother Claire was also a clean freak as she encouraged her son to keep clean. And due to his responsibilities, he wished to not only keep the house in line, but to also make his mother proud.

I think that sums up Danny Tanner very well, and it's a shame imo that the show never went to that layers of his life.
I remember in an episode of Full House where Danny took Stephanie to a therapist to deal with her PTSD. While Stephanie was drawing a picture for her the therapist started to question Danny as to why he was dusting her coffee table during their conversation! Unfortunately Stephanie got done with her drawing before Danny could answer.

I love that you're doing videos on classic sitcoms, I can't wait to see more. :)
Yeah I was VERY surprise to see him on Comedy Central after Full House ended lol
Honestly... that would be hilarious if that was the reason why the writers wrote him like that.
Mr. Nobody I found it on nick at night
Omg full house was my favorite TV show when I go to high school lol
It was top tier family entertainment of the 90s, so you had good tastes 😎
@@TheFangirlWatches thanks fangirl
As a Kid, i never called Full House, Full House. I called it Michelle. “Is Michelle on yet?” And Family Matters it was Steve Urkle.
That's fantastic! I used to ask my dad to put on "the show with the kids" lol
MY FAVORITE NOSTALGIA CHEESECAKE SHOW OH MY GOSH
Heheh, can’t wait to see what you have to say
Hope you liked it and I didn't ruin your cheesecake lol
@@TheFangirlWatches it was great, sad, but it makes sense and you can respect him as a parent even more for not letting it get in the way of his paternal skills ^-^

He wants his independence from mom, pulse it IS healthier for all involved, even if it drives everyone crazy sometimes!
“The show tried to avoid a lot of teary moments”
I have to disagree on that one, just season 1 alone had me in tears at least every other episode 😅😭
there's an episode where danny is cleaning his cleaning gloves and joey says "danny, there's no problem with therapy". speaks volumes.
I became OBSESSED when I was like 3 or 4 (about 8 years after it had ended), and would watch Full House every night on Nick at Nite and fall asleep in my mom's room after it was over😂 I was so in love with the show that the Easter Bunny had brought me some DVDs one year

"A lot of us young ones back then were completely obsessed with this series called 'Full House'." - and then there's me, immediately rewatching this show whenever I finish it. :D
I put on Fuller House every night to relax enough to fall asleep. I've got at least half the series memorized now lol
Omg I clean so much too
I remember it being part of the TGIF line up in which I couldn't wait till Friday night every week to watch i was 5 when it aired and yes i cried when it ended i would watch it with my grandmother... oh to go back to a happier carefree time in my life...
I can remember when it first came on Tuesday nights. I swear that was real lol
I actually remember the episode where they kept the house super sloppy, and their mothers came in. The plot from what I recall was that Danny's mother would have stayed there if he didn't get his act together. I think it was that episode where he realized he could channel his grief and trauma into cleaning, and possibly tie some of his neurotic tendencies to his mother
Remembering Bob Saget with love, always.
Do a compilation of your derp videos!
Lol that sounds like a future subscriber special!

When I lost my dad, I kept myself from crying by keeping busy for a month because my dad's wish was for no grieving for him, he wanted no crying.
Aww. I'm sorry to heard that 😥 I hope you've rralized since then that you are allowed to grieve whenever and however you need to.
I love your videos full house it was my favorite show
Ditto! 😘
Its not only worrying about the kids due to trauma, it was also fun for him to clean. Cleaning day for him was like a national holiday and he enjoyed it a ton, much to the displeasure of the rest of the family.

It's funny the original show is on Hulu but the reboot is a Netflix original. They couldn't secure the rights to show Full House?! Lol
Widowed. Single Dad. Danny Tanner is a national treasure. Your theory about avoidance and relationships is pretty good lol.
Who's coming back to this video after the tragic death of Bob Saget?
Danny: "Good night, girls."

I like your theory but I also wonder if Danny's wife was the one to do most of the cleaning before she died. As a result, he had to take over that and the cooking and stuff, and discovered how he could "control" things that way.
well aside from Dannys cleaning habits, I got into Full House at 7 years old. Back when a channel called Abc Family would air reruns mostly 90s shows like Family matters and Step by Step in the early 2000s. I came across this show because the Olsen twin girls were so popular during that time and I looked up to them. Just wanted to see their acting careers at such a young age. Ever since I got hooked watching it every afternoon during summer breaks. It was such a heartwarming show and I could kinda relate to some of the episodes as well. I even got the first season on dvd. Rest In Peace Bob Saget. The whole cast was really a real family to all of us. 🌉🏡
I think that he’s like that is because his mother was always like that, Danny even said it himself in the full house show, he was always cleaning as a kid, and that’s what made him a clean freak, and he was scared he was doing that to Michelle. At the end the girls say they like the clean Danny not the gross Danny.
I found it becuase i was obsessed with victorious that my mom had enough and showed me full house at first i didn’t like it when they were just babies but now I watched all of it and loved it and now I’m on to the fuller house now I’ve watched it 20000009 TIMES lol
It was always on reruns. I loved the girls and joey but every other adult weirded me out. Jessy was a jerk who was obsessed with himself. Which in turn would make him freak about the smallest stuff. And the girls were always sorry but sometimes scared of his reactions. And the dad was over bearing. I had a mom very much like Danny and his control issues and it made me sad the girls had to live like that too. To me joey was the one who was kind and willing to just be there. As a kid he was more of what I though a parent was supposed to be. But the show just tried to make him out to be the guy who couldn't grow up. A pathetic peter pan if you will. It was those points where I had to stop watching. For a show famous for being family friendly, I saw a lot of unhealthy tropes and treatment.
i’m glad you didn’t just say he had OCD 😅. i have ocd and while i don’t have cleaning as a compulsion and i only know my experiences, it seems to me that the people who do have cleaning as a compulsion don’t just enjoy cleaning, it’s something they feel they _have_ to do. ocd is an anxiety disorder and the thing that separates them from other anxiety disorders are compulsions that cause distress and disrupt functioning. i think the reason people get confused is because one of the most common types of ocd is probably contamination or health concern. using your examples: someone might label their mugs and have a very specific place for each one as to not spread germs because they have a fear of COVID for example and washing them isn’t enough. someone might check the floor multiple times for pieces of broken glass because they want to avoid someone falling and getting glass in their eye. they might freak out over a mess and inspect it because they don’t want to lost something (hoarding is actually a form of ocd). again i don’t have these compulsions there is no specific compulsion that is required to have ocd, it’s really about the motivation and how it affects you.
did you do a theory on monica from friends as well? a lot of people say she has ocd or ocpd cause she “enjoys it” but i think it could be linked to her love of food. like how some people use food as a substitute for emotional connection and monica’s parents were not the best lol like they very clearly favored ross in front of her!
Could you please make a theory about jack and the cuckoo clock heart
I use to get made fun of my friends in middle school for being obsessed with this show. I always thought I'd grow out of it but it never happened.
Super Rad!! Explanation of Danny Tanner Fangirl. I think you hit Danny dead nuts center. I grow up with this show and loved watching T.G.I.F. with the family on Friday nights, which included Full House!! Which was so fun to watch as a teenager. Plus I might of had a huge crush on Candice Cameron He He...at the time of course. I believe were the same age or close.
This is a good one.
I always make it to the end! good video!
Thanks for your dedication 😘💕
Awesome video.
Excellent theory.
I loved that show.
Hmm...that theory would explain it.
You do have a good point.
Poor Danny.
Makes sense in a way.
That explains so much..
That in a way is really sad...
Always be fantastic.
Awesome theory
You're so fantastic. 💜.
Aww I love you 😘💕
@@TheFangirlWatches aww. Thanks. 😍.
Currently binging Full House as a new fan thanks to streaming ha
I honestly don't remember how or when I was introduce to Full House, I just know that I've been obsessed with the series ever since. To this day, I still haven't seen every episode of Full House and it's driving me insane.
Ugh, I meant to say introduced. I'm irritated with myself whenever I don't notice these grammatical errors until after I've already posted a comment. 🤦🏻
I like this theory but I think it came from his mother, there was an episode when it was spring cleaning day and Danny said that his mother gave him a wash cloth or something I don’t remember but it had something to do with cleaning. His mom called him “his little helper” and he continued to call Michelle his little helper too. To sum this theory up I think he got if from his mom and his mom got it from getting divorced. I still love your theory though!
I remember that Danny said that his mother gave him his own vacuum cleaner attachments for his fifth birthday!
I related the most to Stephanie
I first discovered it with my family just watching TV one night.
Made it to the end🧡
💕
I actually my mom said if I didn’t want to dishes to watch full house with her I watched 3epsoides and never left the couch
I used to study phycology textbooks for kicks as a kid. I always thought Danny had OCD. There are several types of it. And I made it to the end. I was a baby when the original show came out, one of the few shows at the time that we could watch that didn't need a cable or satellite subscription.
I remember watching some episodes growing up
S-some? You mean you were a casual?! 😱 lol just playing 😘
@@TheFangirlWatches hey you catch it when you can I'd like to see you tackle the other characters it was fun to watch :)
What you described as OCD is very specific and not at all true of most cases. Also, OCD is not normally emotional and is very much a mindset, typically revolving around control. In trying to describe Danny as not OCD, you actually made the perfect case for it. LOTS of people do their compulsive acts precisely to keep their loved ones from dying.
It make sense
Yass Megan! Give me that full house theory! I loved the show so much and was such a big part of my early years. I'm 12 and talk like I'm 30😂
Lol I would have totally thought you were in your 30s if you didn't specify! 🤣
Sadly, in 2013 my father pased alot happened the docs gave me the high testosterone birth control pill my ex husband hated me cause after my father died that exact thing happened. i became a neat freak and became like what ur describing. during the separation i got off the pill im in the happiest relationship ive ever been in but it took alot of self reflection and A LOT OF WILL POWER to over come it.
My older sister got me into Full House she had recorded a lot of the show on video cassette. Kimmy has been my favorite character since original Full House and in Fuller House. I got to see Dave Coulier aka Joey at a show he did in 2008.
You know I didn't love Kimmy initially but she is the best in Fuller House. She's a good mom, she has self respect while still being open to forgiveness. She's a good friend, a good sister, a woman with high self esteem. I'm so #TeamKimmy now lol
They treaded upon the Lightly in one episode or so
Made it to the end!
4:21 I thought he made a joke at one point in fuller house about cups having numbers??
I remember the "upstairs blanket" joke but not numbers off the top of my head. 🤔
I know I’m commenting on a video thats 4 years old but I just started getting into Fuller and I was a full fan in its original run. I like the show even though some of the characters get to be pretty unbearable after a while mainly Fernando, Jimmy, and Max. Other than the main three women who are pretty great and I liken them to the Golden Girls, I love Steve and Matt. Their characters are pretty great and I thought it would have been fun to see them featured a bit more independent from the groups like when they were best friends since it was one of my favorite storylines of the show.
i met full house because my mother named me after Rebecca Donaldson, Uncle Jesse's wife LOL, I was born in 1998. I LOVE the show and watched a bunch of times already.
THAT IS AMAZING! Tell your parents they are awesome fan people!
I got into Full House because *I'm old*. So old, I knew Dave Coulier from a show he did on Nickelodeon called Our of Control. (He still did the "Cut, it, out" bit on that show too.)
I do think that it's worth pointing out that in the early first season, Danny wasn't a neat freak. There are episodes with him being a complete slob! Just something the writers worked in later, not caring too much about past continuity.
But as the show went on, the writers did figure out they had to let their formula adapt as it progressed. Let's be honest. The premise of the show was trying to one up the hit movie, Three Men and a Baby. Three guys raising three girls and they don't have a clue what they're doing! By season 2 they figured out they could only take that "clueless" idea for so long. And they let it grow past that. I think part of that was making Danny the captain of clean, because he couldn't just be a dude trying to figure out little girls any more.
Lastly, yes therapy was big in the 80s and 90s, especially in California, like San Francisco. No one would have batted an eyelash at Danny seeing a counselor after the death of his wife. I remember some shows at the time joking about how, "my therapist has a therapist." Or "my dog has his own shrink.". Or "my marriage is so rough, my wife and I see separate psychologists.". Heck another show from about that time was Growing Pains, where the father was a psychiatrist. I think the TV show Danny worked for would probably provide counseling, and if they thought his job performance was slipping, they might even insist on it.
Unrelated side note, did you ever watch that VelociPastor movie you mentioned on Twitter?
Oh wait I also CAN NOT WAIT to se more vid's from you please please PLEASE post a new vid son LOVE YOU :)
I haven't seen it all so I don't know if this is what you say, but maybe Pam died for unknown causes -I forgot if there is any proof of how she died- and he wants all his girls to be safe and not die, he might think pam died from cleanliness of the house.
They do say in one of the later seasons that Pam was killed by a drunk driver. So, she wasn’t sick and didn’t do anything wrong, she was just a sad statistic. :(
I started watching full house when I was 5 it was ok but I didn't understand anything until I got older.
Made it to the end.
I just grew up watching it, even though i was born in 95. I know my younger sister would record the shows on vhs tapes and we would watch it together and that my older sister and brother grew up watching it.
Aww that's such a sweet connection 💕
I saw it down south with my cousins’
My mom got me into full house it was on Nick @ nite at 10 pm on weekends
I feel so old, I used to watch it on ABC's prime time! But I'm so glad you got to watch the show!
DJ says herself that her mom died because of a drunk driver
I've bottled up my feelings for 12 years I think I'm fine lmao
I remember that I didn’t like full house I though it was stupid My sister was the one who really liked it and after I saw an episode I became obsessed with the show 🤣🤣☺️☺️☺️ 📺 now I watch it on Hulu and recently started watching Fuller House ☺️☺️
I have high functioning autism and mild OCD, so I always just assumed that he had mild OCD. This theory makes a lot more sense.
yeah. idk what ur ocd is like i only know what mine is like. i don’t really have cleaning as a compulsion so i don’t really know but it seems to me danny is just a neat-freak because it seems to me that most people with ocd that clean compulsively do that because they have a terrible fear of losing something or something becoming contaminated, i don’t know though. but also keep in mind danny genuinely enjoys cleaning. he said himself spring cleaning day is his christmas. if he was a real person with ocd, he would not necessarily enjoy it it would more or less be something he _has_ to do i think. but again i only know my experiences.
Emilee Nedz it's different for everyone. After watching this video I no longer think he has OCD. I didn't really take into consideration that he enjoyed cleaning. Compulsions aren't pleasant. I don't have cleaning compulsions, but I do have some people in my life with OCD who do. OCD is classified as an anxiety disorder, but I think his stress was due to being a single father rather than having OCD. Thanks for your perspective!😁
It's nice to hear what others have to say
I was introduced to it by my cousin
Danny was weird but don't trash him have you seen Bob Saget now he's huge
I was really little when I started watching full house in the late 80s
Me too!
RIP Danny Tanner..
I know! I'm so heartbroken!
nice hair looks like one of those cool popsicles from the old days
Oooh I should do a bomb pop hair style someday!
The Fangirl h*ll ya, that would look pretty cool
Cool hair! 🔥
Thanks! 😘
I never heard of Fuller House. I watched Full House a bit as a child with some neighbor girls. They LOVED the show. I never liked the characters for some reason. At that age I was very into watching reruns of black and white shows such as Leave It To Beaver and The Addams Family.
Have you gotten any letters
Is that promo poster in the back fo the. OG or rebooted BS-/PGSM anime?
I love Fernando
It took me a hot minute to warm up to him, but he is the whole heart of the show! I adore him now!
I always thought he had OCD. Lol But what you said makes alot of sence to it is probably his way of keeping his mind clean.
I thought he had ocd might be a hoarder remember his pet Rock and Ant Farm in the attic etc
OCD? Isn't it OCD 😅 I MEAN......... Constantly cleaning up sounds like a Little bit..... Of OCD
I feel kinda bad for Danny.T and me to I LOVE Full house and Fuller house and I sub'd to you ad turned on he notifacaitions and gave it a BIG thumbs up lov you fangirl.
Actually this is pretty true. The first episode the moms come in because the place was a mess. They made comments about how he cleaned when he was younger but he stopped more with Pam.Jesse made jokes about Danny getting counseling which he never does. Danny also gets really controlling when DJ learns to drive. So yeah, it was definitely Pam. If he got counseling and dealt with it and actually let someone close again he probably get passed it.
I think he could have gotten past it, but he's been in hyper cleaning mode for so long that it's not going to be easy to redirection that habit now.
*soon love you:)
OCD
It seems in the ballpark, but the motivations don't really match how OCD works.
Ickis! You have a Aaah! Real Monsters! plush at your room. My older sister loves watching the show that she has a Hulu account to watch it. And I thought the child abuse episode was serious.
Oh I remember that episode! But it really took a serious topic and brushed it under the rug. Foster care often led to heavy medications and huge amounts of trauma in the 90s (even now, if I'm being honest). The Tanners didn't do the wrong thing, but it's not like they swooped in and made his life better either, and they didn't show any of this from the abused child's side.
@@TheFangirlWatches yeah but he wanted to hide it or he'll never got to see his friends again, or if he told someone that his dad was hurting him then his dad would hurt him more.
