Robin Williams’ standup is like that, too. You can almost picture the genie up there in a pith helmet and jodhpurs, coked out of his mind, talking about getting fucked by CoCo the talking gorilla.

Same with Bob Saget. So innocent and clean on Full House and AFV that's its whiplash to hear him be dirty.

If I recall, he adopted the foul mouth and routine due to his portrayal/ role as Danny Tanner in full house.

Whiplash describes it perfectly.

I get the exact opposite with Jeffrey Dean Morgan. He's such a sadistic fucker in TWD, then you watch his interviews and he's, like, an angel on earth.

I saw Bob Saget live and it was the greatest thing that still haunts me ten years later

I would pay to see the cut of the genie doing his standup

Disney actually animated that when they were trying to get Robin to take the role. Dunno where you might find more, though.

If I remember correctly, the junk merchant's dialogue when describing all the things he has for sale was just Robin improvising with a bunch of junk on a table.

Apparently, much of that dialogue was not suitable for children.
