Uncle Jesse got drunk but forgot he was on company time down under. Never get shitfaced at a work function! He appeared on some television shows acting the fool, and now Australia thinks he’s a lush.

The “ER” star was called “bleary-eyed, staggering and slurring,” as well as “tired and emotional,” by a Sydney newspaper after appearing on several TV shows in a highly disheveled state. Interviewer Kerri-Ann Kennerley noted, “It was a bit like he’d perhaps come from a hotel minibar.” In one memorable moment, Stamos likened himself to Elvis Presley and Princess Diana, quipping: “Who else has died? My career after coming to Australia.” He later blamed his weird state on jet lag.

That quote’s funny. “Jet lag” doesn’t give you the booze sweats, John. Or delusions of grandeur. Elvis? Really? Wasn’t that his character’s schtick on the Olsen twin’s show? Candace Cameron is not amused.
