"Full House" was one of the biggest television sitcoms in the 90s. Starring the late Bob Saget (Danny Tanner), John Stamos(Jesse Katsopolis), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner), Candace Cameron Bure (D.J. Tanner), Dave Coulier (Joey Gladstone), Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (Michelle Tanner), and Lori Loughlin (Becky Katsopolis), the series lasted for eight years and is still referenced to this day.

Although years have passed since "Full House" aired, the cast is still friends to this day -- most even reprising their roles in the reboot “Fuller House” (2016-2020).

Two of the original cast members shocked fans when they posted a video to TikTok, jumping on the "Teenage Dirtbag" trend.

Wheatus’ 2000 single “Teenage Dirtbag” is going viral on TikTok as many are using it to complete a new challenge. A sped-up version of the song is being used in thousands of videos to show old photos from their days as a “teenage dirtbag.”

The videos begin with the user in today's day and age, either looking at the camera or pretending to think about their childhood, right before the video begins showing old photos of the user in their "teenage dirtbag" phase.

John Stamos decided to jump on this trend, but he didn't do it alone. He shocked fans when in the beginning of the video, fellow "Full House" star, Lori Loughlin makes an appearance before the video flips to several photos of Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky from the "Full House" set.

Others, however, brought up the 2019 college admissions scandal that Loughlin was involved in. One user wrote, "Awe the little lawbreaker and uncle Jesse," with another commenting, "must be visiting hours..."

Loughlin went to prison for her role in the 2019 college admissions scandal, which was referred to as Operation Varsity Blues. The scandal involved wealthy parents who paid fixers to get their children into elite universities.

Both Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, admitted to paying $500,000 to Rick Singer and Key Worldwide Foundation to get their daughters, Olivia Jade Giannulli, 20, and Isabella Rose Giannulli, 21, into the University of Southern California.

The "Full House" actress was fined $150,000 and sentenced to two months in prison. She was also ordered to complete 100 hours of community service upon her release.

Despite her actions and involvement in the 2019 scandal, some are still supporting the actress. "Loving the vibes! Really wish she was in the last season of FH [Full House]," one TikToker commented on John Stamos's TikTok video. "Glad they still support her! Her actions were wrong but she didn't deserve the hate."

Last year, Lori Loughlin returned to television for the first time since completing her two-month sentence in prison. She will renew her role as Abigail Stanton on the second season of "When Hope Calls."
