Season 4, Episode 18, “The Wedding-Part 1”

Pre-Credits Gag:  Danny prepares Michelle for her role as the flower girl in Jesse and Rebecca Donaldson’s wedding.  He convinces her that it’s the most important job in the whole ceremony and demonstrates how to perform the task by pulling tissues from a box.  She takes the box and starts chanting, “here comes Michelle,” while tossing out the tissues and then she completely ignores Danny when he tells her to stop doing it.  She just keeps walking around, chanting her name and wasting tissues while Danny helplessly trails after her, and if this pre-credits gag doesn’t completely define their relationship then I don’t know nuthin’ ’bout Full House.

DJ and Stephanie experience creative differences as they work on a wedding video for Jesse and Rebecca Donaldson.  Their filming is interrupted by Rebecca Donaldson running in and being all freaked out because Jesse’s not there to meet her parents.  Michelle comes downstairs and Rebecca Donaldson stops her frantic pacing to tell her that Howie, that baby that she made sweet, gentle love to in Season 2, is going to be making a return visit to the full house for the wedding.  Michelle says she doesn’t give a shit because she doesn’t even remember that fool even though she stayed up all night crying his name one time.  Michelle and Howie are re-introduced and immediately hate each other’s guts.

Boy am I glad they brought Howie back.  I always wondered what happened to that guy.

Danny comes downstairs and says that his suit for the wedding is too tiny.  The doorbell rings and Rebecca Donaldson rushes to greet her parents as Joey comes up in a big baggy suit and he and Danny realize that they switched by accident.

Rebecca Donaldson’s parents enter the full house and her dad immediately starts ranting about some asshole motorcyclist who cut him off when he was driving.  Right that second, Jesse comes in wearing his motorcycle gear and he’s like, “sorry I’m late but some asshole was driving like a dumb dick.”  Uh-oh you guys, I’m afraid Jesse and Rebecca Donaldson’s Dad are gonna start off on the wrong foot!

They proceed to bicker with one another until Rebecca Donaldson gets all upset so they stage a reconciliation.  Things seem to be pretty much smoothed over until Rebecca Donaldson’s Mom goes to the kitchen and walks in on Joey and Danny making love.

I guess they got all worked up when they were switching suits.  Joey’s butthole was just too inviting.  Anyway, Rebecca Donaldson has a big emotional meltdown until Jesse calmly reassures her and then they make out on the couch while Stephanie films them.

Michelle is terrorized by Howie, who acts the fool at bedtime while wearing the same Ninja Turtle pajamas that Joey wore to the Honeybee sleepover.  Michelle is like, “fuck this shit,” and decides to go sleep someplace else.

Rebecca Donaldson’s Dad rolls up on Jesse in his room and starts discussing his lifestyle choices.  It’s actually pretty amazing because Rebecca Donaldson’s Dad sums Jesse up by pointing out that he rides a motorcycle, plays in a band and wears leather, and Jesse defends himself by saying, “There’s much more to me than that, sir.  I’m also an Elvis freak.”  That shit totally blew my mind because I’ve described Jesse that exact same way in a bunch of these reviews, but I was doing it to be an asshole!  How can Jesse be so comfortable with being such a 1-dimensional character!??!  That really is all there is to him.

Anyway, Rebecca Donaldson’s Dad gives Jesse a big speech about how he used to be a cool dude, too, but then he got married and had to give up all the fun shit he liked to do.  Then he tells Jesse that he’d better have his shit together if he’s gonna marry his daughter and Jesse is overwhelmed by a looming sense of responsibility.  What’s the big deal?  Jesse’s been driving kids to soccer practice and shit for like 4 years now.  He’s clearly become fully resigned to being a total square, so how does any of that shit mean anything to him?

Jesse wakes Joey up at 7 AM and tells him to drive him to the airport.  Geez, you guys, that leads me to believe that Jesse is going to run away instead of marrying Rebecca Donaldson.  Why else would he be going to the airport!??!  I’m on the edge of my seat!

Danny wakes Michelle up by asking if she’s seen Jesse but she refuses to answer him without a formal greeting.  Danny complies with all of her requests and then it turns out that she doesn’t know anything about where Jesse is because of course she doesn’t because when the fuck does she ever have any useful information?  Anyway, Stephanie runs in with a note from Uncle Jesse that says that he had to do something before the wedding but he’s still gonna show up and everything.  The family all stand around and wonder what Jesse could be up to.

So apparently Jesse decided that he had to jump out of an airplane before the wedding because he had to go through with one last absurd sitcom cliche before settling down.  That seems like it would be ridiculous enough all on its own except JOEY IS FLYING THE AIRPLANE!!!

What!??!  I cannot believe for even one second that Joey can fly an airplane.  There has never been any mention one time of Joey having any aviation know-how whatsoever, plus I’d bet you $5 that Joey can’t even wipe his ass properly, and I’m supposed to believe that that muthafucka can just fly an airplane all of a sudden?  That’s some silly ass nonsense is what that is.

Joey tries to convince Jesse not to jump out of the plane but he does it anyway.  Right before he jumps, Jesse says that if he doesn’t survive he wants Joey to marry Rebecca Donaldson, which is pretty fucked up if you ask me.  Ok, so, before we get to the screencap, I want you all to guess what Jesse says when he jumps out of the airplane.  I want you to really take a minute and think about what he says.  Ok, are you ready?

Jesse says, “have mercy.”

So when it’s time for the wedding to start, Jesse still hasn’t shown up and everyone stands are trying to figure out what to do.  Michelle sees Howie in his little tuxedo and starts secreting love juices at the sight of him.

Rebecca Donaldson’s parents get all up in Danny’s face when the ceremony doesn’t start on time and he finally has to admit to them that Jesse is missing.  Rebecca Donaldson finds out and gets all upset, presumably because she’s finally realizing what a completely useless piece of shit she’s getting married to.  Seriously, Rebecca Donaldson must have left the full house the night before and been like, “ok, as long as Jesse doesn’t do anything completely fucking idiotic in the next 12 hours, I am willing to ignore his overwhelming personality flaws and complete lack of character and integrity and devote the rest of my life to him.  All that fool needs to do is just fucking show up to the wedding.”  And does he show up?  No, he doesn’t.  Instead Joey comes in and explains to Rebecca Donaldson that Jesse told him to marry her if he didn’t make it.

Meanwhile, Jesse got stuck in a tree and I guess we’ll just have to wait ’till next week to find out if he ever gets down…

I have to say, I had never seen this episode before.  I almost never watched Full House when a new episode aired, I always just saw re-runs when they happened to be on, and I always remember seeing part 2 ten million times but never seeing part 1.  This episode made me wonder if Jesse and Rebecca Donaldson have had sex before their wedding.  I mean, I know they’re fictional characters and there’s no real answer and everything, but what do you think?  I know that before he met Rebecca Donaldson, Jesse was the biggest hoe on the planet but I bet Rebecca Donaldson is pretty chaste.  They clearly don’t live together yet, which suggests a pretty old-fashioned relationship.  If I had to put money down, I’d bet that Rebecca Donaldson wasn’t willing to be infected with the herpes virus until she had a lifelong commitment from Jesse, so she made him wait till they got married.  Maybe that’s why he tried to marry her impulsively before, and also why they planned their whole wedding in like 6 weeks.

    I could see uncle Jesse and Rebecca Donaldson holding out until they were married. Rebecca Donaldson is a classy broad and isn’t just going to give the milk away for free. While the weeks of waiting to taste that sweet, sweet honey must have have been murder on poor uncle Jesse, his many hours of “working” down in the basement with (don’t call him uncle) Joey surely must have aided in taming the beast inside.

    Why the hell are they stripping in the kitchen? Why not return to your respective rooms and bring the incorrect suit back out to the correct party?

    Oh right, wacky sitcom hijinks…

    How can Jesse be so comfortable with being such a 1-dimensional character!??!

    He’s not one dimensional! He rides a motorcycle, plays in a band and wears leather, and likes Elvis. That’s FOUR dimensions, right there! 🙂

    he had to go through with one last absurd sitcom cliche before settling down.

    If only I had any confidence the absurd sitcom cliches would stop after he got married…

    Maybe this is setting up the episode where Stephanie accidentally flies Joey’s plane into the kitchen?

    Yes, Joey be able to fly a plane is dumb, but I can’t really add to that point. However, don’t you have to make some sort of arrangements if you’re going to go skydiving? And most places make you dive with an instructor first. How could Jersey acquire a parachute and a place to land seemingly on the same day.

    Also, this is the first time Jersey is meeting Rebecca Donaldson’s parents? Am I the only person that thinks it’s odd to meet your future wife’s parents the day before the wedding?

    I also like how, in sitcoms, nobody ever finds the humor in a situation. I assume Rebecca Donaldson’s mom was immediate outragedconfused when she walked in on Danny and Joey with their pants around their ankles.

    But if I walked in on two guys with pants around their ankles in a setting where it’s fairly obvious they wouldn’t be getting busy, I’d probably just laugh and ask them what the heck’s going on.

    I mean, I can believe Danny could, as a hobby do that. And then have never flown again because by car crash, he meant that Pam died in a horrifying plane crash that Danny caused by habitually cleaning the instruments.

    And yes, total shock for Jersey to say “Have Mercy” jumping out the plane. This is my surprised face.

    the actor who played Joey actually can fly airplanes, so he probably wanted to do it on camera (also it saved them the trouble of having another character in the show, because it’s always easier to just have one of the members of the full house do something instead of getting outside help, but the fact that he really can is what pushed Stephanie flying the plane out of the question)

      • Yeah, I was going to say, I’m sure they weren’t actually flying in the air when filming this.

        Even it Dave Coulier can actually fly a plane, the liability of letting a principle actor do it is ridiculous. Let alone if their insurance would even cover that risk.

        Most actors can drive a car too, but except for the most mundane and basic driving scenes, they use stunt drivers…

        Of course you’re right that Dave Coulier is not really flying that plane, so I don’t see any way that his real-life piloting skills are relevant here.

        But Jeremy is right about his second point, namely that it’s cheaper to say that Joey can inexplicably fly a plane, rather than hiring another actor. Also, using Joey in that scene allows Joey and Jesse to spit out some exposition while Jesse is preparing to jump, and it would needless crowd the scene if they had other actors to play the pilot and crew.

    Dang, y’all. I feel like commenting has lost its fun now that everybody & their dog is reading this blog. By the time I get here, most of what I thought to say has been said. Congrats on the popularity, Mr. Superstar. Though, it is messing up my life b/c the entries I have commented on/subscribed to are now getting so many additional comments that it is wearing out my phone battery with email notifications. I hope this bothers you, as FH has taught me that my problems are important and should keep others up at night…

    I don’t understand why Rebecca Donaldson is surprised that is late to the wedding when he obviously doesn’t give a shit about showing up to places on time. I mean, damn, the guy is meeting her parents for the 1st time IN HIS HOME and can’t get there on time. I also refuse to believe that she would have waited so long to have him meet her parents. And the writers missed out on the golden opportunity of her having to go all “Papa Don’t Preach” on her disapproving parents.

    The tux bit is extra lame b/c one would think that if Person A is shaped like a string bean and Person B is shaped like a potato, they would realize the mix up BEFORE they put the tuxes on. And who parades around the house in such ill fitting clothing? And who changes clothes in the kitchen? It worries me for thos girls if the dads are so comfortable disrobing in the common areas of the house. I lived at home for damn near 18 years with my parents, and my dad was never caught by me or either of my 2 sisters with his pants down.

    I’m just gonna skip the absurdity that is the act of Joey flying a plane, but wouldn’t you think that if he’s gonna try to talk Jesse out of it, he would have done so BEFORE they were in the air? And does Joey, who doesn’t seem to have 2 nickels to rub together on most days, own a plane? Or is this just one of those common situations where Jesse lucked out when he got a ride from Joey (who can fly a plane) instead of Danny (who maybe can’t) b/c the airport has a new policy that the driver must also be the pilot? It is also key to note that Jesse is wearing his tux under his jumpsuit- that’s some mad confidence in your skydiving skills if you think you’ll just happen to land on the front steps of the church where you are slated to be married.

    I just want to wrap up this really long comment by saying that Michelle’s dress reminds me of those fancy things that everybody’s grandma used to keep on the back of the toilet to cover a spare roll of toilet paper.

    Keep up the good work!

    Regarding Rebecca Donaldson’s chastity, I have this going:

    1) Her parents are meeting Jersey for the first time on the day of the wedding?

    2) Jersey’s able to just pass her off to that jackass Joey if he dies? What, because somebody just has to knock that broad up or something?

    2a) Everybody treats this like some kind of legally binding contract, right? Seems like the kind of thing these hooligans would do.

    This is reminiscent of the fucked-up pretend Greek wedding tradition shit they pulled way back, or maybe something outta the Bible. My guess is that if it’s discovered that she’s not a virgin on the wedding night, Jersey has to beat her to death with a bucket of chicken while hollering, “Have mercy!” over and over.

    And that would still be better than being forced to marry Joey.

    I abhor the premise of “If something happens to me, you have to marry my partner”. I know I’m reading too much into it (or am I?) but it smacks of Jersey saying that Rebecca Donaldson is his property and he can just give her to Joey. No, Jersey, if something happens to you then Rebecca Donaldson becomes SINGLE again and can choose her own guy in the future. And you know sure as shit she would NOT choose Joey.

    Here’s why I think it is possible I’m not making too much of the “he thinks she’s property” bit. As Billy has stated multiple times – this show is really thinly veiled anti-white propaganda. So taking in that theory, the idea that Jersey thinks he “owns” Rebecca Donaldson is a throwback to slavery – when white men thought they were superior to all others. I mean slavery is a huge reason why honkeys are so often hated.

    What I love most about this blog is following along as the show continues to be unable to reconcile the two sides of Jesse. Ever since you pointed out at the beginning that this is, in fact, a show about gay parenting that refuses to acknowledge that gay parenting even exists, I’ve noticed that there are two sides of Jesse.

    One side of Jesse is, just as you described, the one dimensional idiot who wears leather, loves Elvis, rides his motorcycle, womanizes, and is a cocky asshole. This is the masculine Jesse.

    Then we have the strange other side of Jesse that appears once in a great while, Stay At Home Dad Jesse. This Jesse is a weird Jesse to me, because this is the Jesse who seems to have real emotions. He puts on his apron and watches the children, baking cookies and preparing dinner, cleaning the house and doing laundry, while eventually stumbling his way into his room at night and weeping into his pillow at how under appreciated he is.

    Unless I am wrong, I have never seen Stay At Home Jesse appear around Rebecca Donaldson. I’ve seen them appreciate babies together, but I’ve never seen the show able to reconcile Macho Jesse and Stay At Home Jesse. It’s like they’re two completely different characters.

    It’s just this entirely unskilled writing and it makes the show so fucking strange. It almost makes episodes seem like they’re out of order, since you won’t see Jesse be a cocky macho dumbass for a while, and then suddenly Rebecca Donaldson comes in and he immediately jumps onto his motorcycle that hasn’t been mentioned in ages.

    Rebbecca Donaldson, is this really the guy whose children you want to bear? Do you really want to contaminate the gene pool like this? For heaven’s sake he believes Joey, FUCKING JOEY, is a suitable substitute groom.

    I just accidentally caught an episode of Full House playing on a public TV. I couldn’t hear anything and only saw about 10 seconds, but uncle Jesse looked to be arguing with a pre-school teacher or something, and his two fugly girl-boys were standing around looking confused as he grabbed their hands and told them to wave bye-bye.
    Did Jesse have an obsession with telling teachers he was pulling his little munchkins out of the school, as if they’d give two shits?

    “Ok, so, before we get to the screencap, I want you all to guess what Jesse says when he jumps out of the airplane. I want you to really take a minute and think about what he says. Ok, are you ready?”

    This gets me every time; it’s never not funny.
    (P.S. I’m on my second binge read through of the greatest blog of all time. Thanks for the late-night laughs.)
