"How rude!" "You got it dude!" "Have Mercy!" "There's a car in the kitchen!"
All are quotes that we know and love. Full House has been playing for years. Even after the show ended, it still continued to air for everyone to watch. You know if you're trying to find something to watch and you see Full House on, you would always stop to watch it even if you have already seen the episode.
It's one of those shows that you just can't get enough of. Unlike today's shows, Full House did an excellent job teaching us a life lesson while still being something we love to watch.
1. Your perfect body isn't worth your overall health
In today’s society, your image means everything. We look up to people like Kim Kardashian who is considered to have the greatest bod. People are all about: #Fitness #BootyGainz #FitFam
But how far are you willing to go to get your “perfect” body? With “#NewYearNewMe”, know you can do it! Set your goals, and work hard! But don’t overdo it. DJ Tanner taught us that there needs to be a balance between exercising and a good diet. The desire to fit in and have your perfect body isn’t nearly as important as being healthy overall.
2. Sometimes the craziest information is real
One of Michelle Tanner’s best moments.
She taught us that rumors circulate all the time. Don’t trust all the information you hear. But sometimes, even the craziest information such as a car being in the kitchen, may be right.
3. Friends are forever
Throughout your life, you meet hundreds of different people. From strangers at the grocery store to classmates in your finance class, you come in contact with so many different people. But then you have those people you considered your forever friends in which have been there for you and with you through all the good and the bad.
Full House showed us you can be so different from someone and yet they be in your life forever. Those are the people you consider more than your friends; they’re your family.
4. Sometimes the hardest decision, may be the responsible decision
First off, why did DJ think putting butter on his head and around his neck would get him out of the staircase?
Regardless, DJ showed us that even though you may be scared to admit your wrongs and ask for help, it shows a great sense of responsibility and leadership. She was in trouble and wanted to prove to her Dad that she was responsible and even though she landed in a pickle, she called for help. She knew she couldn't do it alone and she called the most reliable person in her life.
5. Bad hair days happen
Bad hair days happen. But appearance isn’t the most important thing. DJ taught us that you may have your “ugly” days, but boys will still like you. As they say, it matters what’s inside rather than outside.
6. Peer pressure sucks, but its better to make the right choice
Do you remember when we saw this scene? We were all thinking:
- “No Stephanie, don’t do it!”
- Confused because we were just learning about cigarettes and peer pressure.
- Why are these middle schoolers in the bathroom smoking cigarettes in the first place?
Either way, Stephanie taught us peer pressure and the desire to fit in with your peers especially throughout middle school and high school is very adamant. But it doesn’t always matter to fit in if it isn’t the right choice. She could have easily been like the others girls but knew in her gut that she knows better.
7. How attractive a man is when he's good with children
Shoutout to Uncle Jesse for being the greatest example of a man worth dating! You know every time you see him with either baby Michelle or his own children that it just melts your heart! Jesse taught us that a man good with children is extremely attractive.
8. Asking for help especially when it comes to chips is very important
Life is tough. Sometimes, you’re stuck in a sticky situation in which you don’t know what to to do. Whether it’s a task that needs to be done or advice from your best friends, it never hurts to ask for help. Even in situations where you can’t open a bag of chips (which is a very serious matter), don’t be afraid to ask question or reach out for a helping hand.
9. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all
Words of Michelle Tanner: "If I can't say anything nice then I shouldn't say anything at all!"
10. Be Yourself!
There are moments and stages we go through in which we try to be someone we aren't. It's okay because it happens to the best of us. But being yourself is the best possible route. Michelle taught us trying to act and look older was funny, but it wasn't right. People will like you for who you are and not for the person you're trying to be.
11. Some things last forever
Some things may not last, while others last forever. Full House started in 1987 and ended with its final episode in 1995. Although it ended, it stayed in our hearts. Generations of all ages have watched and absolutely adored Full House. It’s one of those feel good shows that taught us good morals and more importantly symbolized how important family means. Because of how great the show is, over twenty years later, it’s finally back for it’s reboot: Fuller House.
The original Full House taught us how excited we are to see the Tanner family back in action. It also made us realize how important and relatable Full House is to us.
