The show Full House has a huge fandom that goes from original TGIF viewers to additional generations who have come to love the show through reruns or streaming. The sitcom is a beloved part of both 1980s and 1990s pop culture, and its characters have personality traits and experiences with which lots of people can identify.
The great thing about a family show is that it can present storylines that resonate with people of more than one age group. Full House also displays a unique family structure that brought more characters into the Tanner home. With so many members of this extended family to choose from, what does it mean to call each of these characters our favorites?
Danny Tanner
Although it is an ensemble show, Danny Tanner begins as the main character of Full House. The early days draw viewers in as Danny grieves his late wife and accepts help from his brother-in-law, Jesse, and best friend, Joey. Danny is a hard-working single parent who would do anything for his family. He's lucky to have a career that he loves throughout most of the show, co-hosting Wake Up, San Francisco.
If Danny Tanner is your favorite character, you are most likely an empathetic person who understands the weight of what Danny has been through. Fans of Danny are devoted to their family and are not afraid to wow them with corny jokes. There's also a good chance that they like to keep a clean house and might be perfectionists, too.
Jesse Katsopolis
Jesse Katsopolis is the cool Uncle Jesse fans know and love. He learns how to be a responsible adult while still living a fulfilling and adventurous life. He grows as a musician and adapts his talents into a successful advertising career. Jesse even gets to marry the love of his life and become a father on the series. There's much more to him than a hair flip and a "have mercy!"
That being said, you might be particular about your hairstyles if Uncle Jesse is your favorite. Fans of Jesse could have an Elvis Presley obsession or just an overall appreciation for great music. It's possible that they live life on the wild side, meaning that they take risks in their relationships, personal goals, and career. They're cool people, and the people they care about think so, too.
Becky Katsopolis
Rebecca Donaldson Katsopolis begins her seven-season Full House arc as Danny's co-host on Wake Up, San Francisco. Aside from a short break to birth her twin boys, Becky keeps this job and then gets promoted to producer. Becky is different from Jesse in many ways, but she loves him and supports his dreams, even when it isn't easy.
If you consider Becky your favorite character, you might appreciate her for a variety of reasons. You know that she is like a big sister to DJ, so perhaps you've been the Becky to someone's DJ in life, or vice versa. When it comes to pursuing dreams, Becky fans take a leaf out of her book and give it their all in every circumstance. They are bold and direct in their love lives, too.
Joey Gladstone
The resident comedian of Full House is Joey Gladstone, Danny's longtime best friend. Joey is good for more than a quick joke; he's a gifted impressionist, which comes through in his easygoing but funny stand-up routines. It doesn't take too long for Joey to grow into being a father figure. He always helps DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle when they need him.
If you love Joey, you're definitely a fun-loving person. You like to make people laugh and bring them joy when they need a dose of positivity. Joey fans are glad to be themselves and might even rock a bright, patterned button-down shirt when it suits them. Like Joey, their sensitivity means that they feel things deeply and are hurt when others mistreat them, but they are willing to forgive people and move on to happier days.
DJ Tanner
DJ Tanner is the eldest of her sisters, which means that she has more memories of her mother than Stephanie and Michelle have. DJ enters her tween and teen years while being raised by three men, but she is able to confide in Aunt Becky often. As she enters high school and becomes more serious about dating, DJ learns from her mistakes and is reminded that her family is always there for her.
Having DJ as your favorite character means that you feel a sense of responsibility for yourself and others. You aren't always perfect in your role, but no one is. You are strong and resilient, but you come to realize that it's okay to open up to the people you trust. Fans of DJ probably top off all their great qualities with a fun hairstyle and a wardrobe that's just right for them.
Kimmy Gibbler
Kimmy Gibbler is introduced in the show's first season as DJ Tanner's best friend. Kimmy can't catch a break at the Tanner house. Like her TGIF pal Steve Urkel, Kimmy is constantly made fun of and is sarcastically told to leave. At the same time, Kimmy's friendship with DJ means so much to her that she's willing to put up with rudeness from the Tanners. Over the course of the series, Kimmy keeps viewers laughing and reminds them that it's good for them to be themselves.
If you find that Kimmy Gibbler is your favorite Full House character, you are a truly unique individual. Kimmy fans have great ideas and mind-blowing visions for their life and work. In addition to keeping things lighthearted and friendly whenever they can, they each allow their real personality to shine from the inside out.
Stephanie Tanner
Stephanie Tanner is in a tricky spot. She looks up to DJ and wants to be like her, but DJ lets her down sometimes. Stephanie also wants to be a good role model to Michelle, but Michelle can be a bother to her, too. From her middle child view of the world, Stephanie is a kind and inquisitive person. She ridicules Kimmy too often, but Stephanie has a lot to deal with as she grows up.
Stephanie Tanner fans like you are very deep. You might be caught in the middle of something, growing as a person and diving into the passions in life that keep you excited. You have been through your share of challenges and successes, and you surround yourself with people you admire who care about your wellbeing.
Michelle Tanner
Michelle Tanner grows considerably over the eight seasons of Full House, considering that she is just a baby when the sitcom begins. In her toddler years, Michelle develops her signature catchphrases, like "You got it, dude!" and "You're in big trouble, mister!" She finds friends of her own in preschool and sticks with many of them in her elementary school years. With two big sisters and a house full of adults, Michelle knows that she always has someone to turn to for help, but she likes to be autonomous.
Michelle is a fan-favorite character, and her fans are probably struck by the feisty sister's desire to do precisely what she wants to do. Like Michelle, they prefer to make their own plans and do things their way. They appreciate help from others, but they're independent and confident in their own ideas and talents.
