‘Full House:’ Where Did Joey’s ‘Cut It Out’ Catchphrase Come From?
Joey Gladstone loves his cartoons and hockey. Heās also the Full House character behind the catchphrase ācut it out.ā Where does this line come from, though?
Hereās what we know about Dave Coulierās comedian character on the popular sitcom and the Netflix spinoff series.Ā
Several āFull Houseā characters have their own catchphrases
Uncle Jesse says āhave mercy.ā Stephanie says āhow rude.ā DJ says āOh Mylanta!ā Several of the characters in this Full House have iconic quotes that carried over into the spinoff series, Fuller House, and even the actorsā real lives.Ā
Unlike Michelle with her many food-related lines, Joey Gladstoneās best-known quote appears several times throughout the sitcom. Thatās ācut it out,ā a joke thatās typically accompanied by a scissor and a throwing away motion. Although this character is known for impersonating cartoons, this quote doesnāt come from another television series.
Joey Gladstone only really had 1 iconic catchphrase on āFull Houseā
Although ācut it outā became synonymous with Coulierās Full House character, Joeyās catchphrase came from a comedic bit coined by Mark Cendrowski, director of several The Big Bang Theory episodes.
āMark [Cendrowski] and I were a comedy team called C and Ski,ā Coulier said during an interview with the Today Show. āAnd Mark used to do this Mark Suave character. And he would unbutton his shirt and he would look at a lady in the front row, and heād go, āCut it out.āĀ
āAnd I told him, āIām stealing that. And Iām going to use it in my stand-up. Iām gonna use it wherever I can,āā he continued. āSo he thinks I still owe him royalties on that. But youāre never gettinā it, Mark. Ever.ā
Coulier returned for the Netflix original spinoff series āFuller HouseāĀ
Coulier since adapted and shortened this catchphrase his character on Nickelodeonās Out of Control, as well as Joey Gladstone from Full House and Fuller House. The character would use this as part of his comedy routine, as well as in his daily life.Ā
āAll of the old jokes that we told back in the day, our little silly songs that we sing to each other. The stupid jokes that we say to each other,ā Coulier said of his return to Fuller House. āThe pranks. We have not missed a beat. All of that stuff still comes back into play. And somebody can just start one of these songs or one of these bits and everybody just chimes in at the same time.ā
Most episodes of Full House featuring Coulierās character Joey Gladstone are available for streaming on Hulu. All five seasons of the Netflix original spinoff series, Fuller House, are available on the streaming platform, Netflix.
