I just never believed this premise of an episode. Joey quitting stand up and going strict, I just didn't like and it's one of the unfunniest episodes in full house in my opinion and also how he quit just because the lady comedian took up all his time was stupid. Obviously he was going back to the Joey we know and love by the end of the episode. I don't like episodes in shows when they completely change the character to make the episode work. They should have made the episode fit with the character and this episode just doesn't fit Joeys character. This is my least favorite of season 1 and season 1 is my second worse season for me just above 8. Not a lot of stand outs in this season there's a few gems but a lot of filler or a lot focusing on the parents which I'm not a fan of those episodes. So a pretty bad episode and one of the shows worst.

Will the real Joey please stand up?
mitchrmp8 December 2013
Joey was excited about his comedy routine. The whole family came to support him. But a famous comedian was there who blew the house away. When Joey got up do do his routine, everyone left!
Naturally, Joey is upset - so upset that he decides he's done with comedy. Instead, he plans to become a business man. But as he looks for a job and receives job offers, he turns them down. The family lets him go on, but Jesse finally realizes they must do something when D.J. gives up guitar, quoting Joey's words when he gave up comedy.
Jesse and Joey are a hoot! The best part of the show is when Jesse tries to do Jesse's comedy routing which forces Joey to do his routine and gets a big round of applause as he brings down the house!
A heart-to-heart between Joey and D. J. sets things right.

if you want to be big in anything involving sports or the arts, the chances are slim to none. Jesse is a struggling musician and Joey is a struggling comedian. People always reach for their dreams and often quit when the going gets tough. This episode is one of a few that say not to give up so fast.
Joey is psyched for a chance to perform a gig where a huge talent agent will scouting. Joey bombs after Phyllis Diller is asked to perform and does a 90 minute performance. Yes, this is the real Phyllis Diller, and that's cool. But you don't place a legend before a newcomer! But at the same time, legends are so hard to resist. Joey gives up on comedy and cartoons and ventures out in search of a sophisticated job. He even goes so far as to put up a poster of Lee Iacocca in his bedroom. Meanwhile, DJ is learning guitar and can't get the hang of it, and Joey's quitting of comedy gave DJ the confidence to give up the guitar.
The comedy in the club is hilarious, and Jesse and Danny's manipulation to snap Joey out of it is hilarious too. But it is the message that makes it great.
