Probably neither... they were both for the audience. The 'America's Dad' thing came mostly from his stint on the show Full House in the 80's and 90's. However, his standup could get hilariously filthy and was as anti-'America's Dad' as one could imagine. I doubt it was a drug thing, he just had two different audiences he played to and did it well.

How filthy exactly? Like Diceman?

Pretty filthy (nsfw): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHeZS3mGDKY

In fairness, this wasn't his joke or even meant to be funny... it's kind of a comedian test of sorts re: delivery. But you wanted to know how filthy he could get...

I've heard the Aristocrats joke before (mainly Gilbert Gottfried's version), but I was wondering if Saget had any routines where he would come off as more, for lack of better phrasing, "impassionatley and authentically vulgar". Reciting a hand-me-down joke just doesn't strike me as that. I'm of the opinion that even Tom Hanks has had an opportunity to recite the Aristocrats in front of an audience and I wouldn't be surprised if there's a tape of that somewhere in the world.

Fair enough... most haven't. Pretty much any of his standup/specials (i.e. the stuff he didn't do for network TV) will have a fair amount. For example, I started doing a YouTube search on 'bob sagat' and it offered to complete it as 'bob sagat stand up nasty' so I figured 'sure' and this was near the top: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjGm5DNDadU and of course he didn't need to club you over the head with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLazfBlUkfk

Like a way less funny Dice basically.
