On social media, celebrities in 2020 don’t have much more to offer you than the occasional solemn video about how “we’re all in this together,” filmed from the socially distant comfort of their 200-room mansions. But what if they could offer benefits that were a bit more practical? In Geico’s campaign launched this summer, expanded…
As the clock ticks toward the Super Bowl kickoff, few people are working the pre-promotion circuit quite like John Stamos, Bob Saget and Dave Coulier. The former Full House co-stars make a reunion appearance in Dannon's game day ad for its Oikos Greek yogurt line, and the trio isn't wasting one moment of its renewed pop-culture relevance.
On Wednesday, the avuncular triumvirate hosted a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" session, in which they tackled tough questions like, "How can I join Jesse and the Rippers?" and "To each of you, what is your favorite type of pie?"
Next, they were on to Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, where they reprised their Full House roles and hairstyles in a sketch (which you can watch below) about helping Fallon overcome his anxiety about hosting The Tonight Show.
If you need still more of these three, you can watch a litany of videos created during their Dannon shoot on the brand's "Bromance" microsite. And if you need more than all that, you may have a serious problem and need professional help.

If Dannon's Super Bowl ad teaser left you hoping for a Full House-themed spot in the big game, you're probably going to be disappointed.
The Oikos Greek yogurt ad starring John Stamos is now live on YouTube, and, as you can see below, the anticipated appearance by fellow sitcom stars Bob Saget and Dave Coulier barely even registers as a punch line.
In fact, the ad largely plays out the same as 2012's Oikos Super Bowl spot, focused on Stamos romantically sharing a yogurt with a ladyfriend. But this time, instead of getting headbutted, he gets cockblocked (sorry, mom, there's no other word for it) by his Full Housemates.
For a :30, it's a lot of setup without much payoff. But then again, the same could be said of Stamos' multiple attempts at dairy-centric seduction.
If you're still craving more Stamos-Saget-Coulier shenanigans, check out Dannon's "Bromance" microsite, where you can find a few low-budget clips of the TV uncles clowning around. Or just cross your fingers and hope that the 2015 Super Bowl's inevitable Family Matters reunion turns out more fulfilling.

Have you dared to dream that a reunion of the Full House uncles might someday be in the cards? Well, in the immortal words of a young Michelle Tanner, "You got it, dude."
That's right, children of the '90s, the Dannon Oikos ad in this year's Super Bowl will feature not only brand ambassador John Stamos but also his former sitcom housemates, Bob Saget and Dave Coulier. In the teaser clip below, we see the three briefly discussing their living situation, which has apparently remained unchanged since the ABC sitcom wrapped in 1995. (The reason behind their lengthy domestic bliss might be implied with the bromance-themed spot's odd choice of hashtag, #FuelYourPleasure.)
If you're a big enough Full House fan to get truly excited about this decades-spanning mashup, then you know that the cast has actually had several reunions, including appearances by most of its actors in one of Saget's final episodes hosting America's Funniest Home Videos and at the sitcom's 25th anniversary party in Los Angeles in 2012.
