Why I Love Uncle Jesse
Uncle Jesse is, and will always remain, one of my very favorite people on this planet. For a fictional character, he has always been very real to me. As an uncle of two kids myself, I have often looked to Uncle Jesse to see how he has remained so cool while being surrounded by children. It's important to note that no matter how many kids came into his life (Five in total) he still remained an image of rock n' roll. Even after marriage.

Jesse Katsapolis is a rocker, obsessed with his hair, and before marriage he was the ultimate ladies man. He moved into the Tanner family household to help his brother-in-law, Danny, raise three kids after Jesse's sister was killed by a drunk driver. Danny's close friend Joey also moved in.
Right here is the first instance of why I love Uncle Jesse. Not only is he caring enough to help out someone in need, but when you put him next to Joey Gladstone it's easy to see where the cool is in the room. Jesse's ego was never too much to refuse helping Joey though. Often he would give Joey tips on how to meet chicks, how to do his hair, or even how to dress for success.
Can you name anyone with cooler hair than Uncle Jesse? No. No you can't. Stop trying, because you'll only come to heartbreak after hours of pondering and research. Uncle Jesse simply HAS the coolest hair ever. Even in the first season of Full House when he had that mullet. Sure. |

Mullets were actually kind of cool in 1987 remember. And not the way they're cool today because we all make fun of them. People actually wanted mullets then.
Jesse was also cool when he answered the phone. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never heard Jesse answer the phone with a simple "Hello?" No, that's because Jesse's telephone skills are so far beyond the rest of us average mortals. Jesse must answer the phone with "Talk to me!" This is not because he wants to, but rather he is driven by the rock n' roll inside of him that has been surreally passed on to him through the Elvis jumpsuit he wore to make some extra cash.
If you thought I was done already then you're really off. Let's not forget about all of Jesse's babes. Jesse was a chick magnet until he settled down. And even still, all the girls wanted a piece of this Rush Hour |
Renegade. Yes, Jesse was still unbelievably cool at his own wedding, pulling a piano and back-up choir out of nowhere to sing Forever to his bride, Rebecca Donaldson. Who does that, you ask? Only one man can. And his name is Uncle Jesse.

I think it would be time to point out some similarities between Jesse and I. Check this out:
We both had long hair that we were obsessed over, and we both cut it down to short hair that we're obsessed over.
We are both uncles.
We both worship rock gods. (Jesse = Elvis, Ryan = Steven Tyler)
We're both big in Japan (remember, Jesse had a #1 hit there with Forever)
Jesse worked at a radio station, I interned at a radio station.
Jesse and Joey were Advertising partners, I studied Advertising at college. |
But if there's one reason above all that makes me love Uncle Jesse, it's this:
Yes, Uncle Jesse had an action figure. At first glace it may look like a doll, but let me assure you. This thing is all action. Rock n' roll action! Making the love to Aunt Becky action! So damn cool.
So with that said, I have no clue why the Rippers dumped Jesse as their lead singer. As he once said, without him they're just "And The Rippers".
