Stamos’s Fear Exposed in Hilarious Bob Saget Prank

Bob Saget, the beloved comedian and actor, once orchestrated a legendary prank on his friend John Stamos, exploiting a surprising fear. Comedian Brad Williams recounted the hilarious incident on Club Shay Shay, revealing how Saget used Williams, a little person, to prank a terrified Stamos.

The Setup: A Surprise Encounter

Williams explained that he had never met Bob Saget before the day of the prank. Saget invited Williams to his dressing room, hinting at an introduction to John Stamos. Williams was eager to meet the famous actor, but Saget had a mischievous plan in mind.

“Bob comes into my dressing room before this show and goes, ‘Hey, Brad, you have to meet John Stamos,'” Williams recalled. “And I’m like, ‘Okay, yeah, I would love to meet him. Let’s go.'”

The Prank: Humping Stamos’s Leg

When they entered Bob Saget’s dressing room, Saget revealed the reason for the meeting: “John is deathly afraid of little people.” Williams, understanding the setup, decided to play along with Saget’s prank.

“So, we go to the dressing room. We go to Bob’s dressing room. He opens the door.

I see John Stamos. I run right up to John. I don’t wait.

I just run up to him. I grab his leg and I start humping his leg,” Williams described, detailing the comedic chaos that ensued.

Stamos’s reaction was exactly as Saget had predicted. “John, you scream like a… Like he’s squealing,” Williams said, adding, “He was he was screaming, squealing.

And then he’s like kicking his leg trying to get me off. And Saget is just laughing his ass off.” The transcript confirmed Stamos’s extreme fear, noting, “And John is deathly afraid of little people.” This phobia is known as arophobia.

Overcoming the Fear: A Later Encounter

Years later, the dynamic between Stamos and Williams had completely changed. Williams shared a heartwarming story about Stamos’s progress in overcoming his fear. He was attending a charity comedy show for the Claraderma Foundation, an event hosted by Bob Saget’s family that attracted many big names.

“John sees me at the table, runs up to me, grabs my hand and goes, ‘Come with me,'” Williams recounted. Stamos then led Williams over to Jimmy Kimmel’s table, where Kimmel was talking with legendary comedian Don Rickles.

Stamos, pointing to Williams, said to Kimmel, “Jimmy, look. See, I’M FINE NOW. I’M GOOD.” Williams expressed his admiration for Stamos’s progress, stating, “So, John is doing very well now.

I I don’t know if it’s just me or if it’s all little people that that he’s good with, but uh props to him. But yeah, for a while he was deathly afraid of little people.”

Arophobia: Understanding the Fear

The conversation also touched upon the phobia itself. “Fear of little people. How do you say that?” Shannon Sharpe asked.

“Arophobia,” Williams replied. “Yeah, Arophobia.

That is a fear of little people. And that is real, man.”

Williams reflected on the experience of people having this fear, saying, “It’s always wild when I meet people that have this fear because it’s like I’m I’m a human being, right? I ain’t a snake.

I’m not an insect. I’m not poisonous.” He also noted that some people with the fear try to conquer it by attending his shows and meeting him in the meet-and-greet, showing courage in facing their anxieties.
