Late Sunday night, the “Dark Crimes” actor paid tribute to his late friend on Twitter, tweeting, “Beautiful Bob Saget passed away today at 65. He had a big, big heart and a wonderfully warped comic mind. He gave the world a lot of joy and lived his life for goodness’ sake. :’^}”
However, not every fan saw the compliment in “warped comedic mind.”
“Wtf is wrong with Jim Carrey? ‘A warped comedic mind?’ Bob was a fantastic comic, who played an incredible role as ‘America's Dad.’ He was one of the most multi-faceted individuals in the game,” one fan wrote. “Sending to his family. He will be so missed. Fu[ll] House defined my childhood.”
“I think Jim says that out of complete admiration and from him it’s a compliment,” another fan replied. “Bob’s stand-up was pretty raw.”
“That’s hilarious!” another fan commented. “Thanks for sharing! Jim is right, Bob was warped. Though imagine trying to balance his sense of self with that of such a good guy/parent on ‘Full House’?! Must’ve been challenging. Something had to give… Our girls loved that show - he gave us a collective hero.”
Fans Pile On Commiserations: ‘Please Stay Safe And Take Care’
Fans continued to add to the condolences, and some expressed concern for the 59-year-old actor himself.
“I’m sure he liked your impersonation of him from ‘In Living Color,’ another fan joked.
“What a beautiful soul,” another fan commented. “He will be missed terribly. Sending my sincerest condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones Rest in Eternal Paradise Sir. You were a wonderful, funny, loving, caring husband, father, son, brother, and uncle. On top of being America's funny man.”
