This scene is based on a real story Bob Saget has told in his stand up and as a guest on radio shows. However, in Saget's telling of the real incident he was using a mannequin which was used as a stand in for the Olsen Twins, which makes the real life version more embarrassing and disturbing then what is depicted in this movie. Saget also explained he did this simply out of boredom and because he wanted to entertain the crew while they were waiting on set one day. The movie depicts him doing this routine because he's trying to prove some sort of point to Dave Coulier and John Stamos about how he detests Full House's clean persona.
