ā€˜Pin a rose on your noseā€™

Itā€™s not easy being the middle child and with DJ tackling a sixth-grade science project and Michelle being as cute as ever, Stephanie Tanner was feeling a little left out. So, in the ā€œMiddle Age Crazyā€ episode of this series, Stephanie decided to get ā€œmarriedā€ to her best friend.

ā€˜Iā€™ll stay home and watch public televisionā€™

Not everyone is excited about the first day of school. During the season 1 episode titled ā€œThe First Day of School,ā€ Stephanie Tanner was having a hard time with the adjustment.Ā 

ā€œSteph, donā€™t you want to go to school and be smart,ā€ Danny Tanner asked. This was her response. Eventually, though, this character had a great time, especially thanks to the help of her older sister, DJ Tanner.

ā€˜How rude!ā€™

A few of the Full House characters had iconic catchphrases. For Joey Gladstone, it was ā€œcut it out.ā€ For DJ, it was ā€œoh Mylanta.ā€ For Uncle Jesse, it was ā€œhave mercyā€ and ā€œwatch the hair.ā€ For Stephanie Tanner, though, whenever something didnā€™t go her way, she was quick to say ā€œhow rudeā€ as a response.

ā€˜Michelle, the goat boy canā€™t get out of Norway because goats canā€™t ride on planesā€™

During the ā€œNice Guys Finish Firstā€ episode, Joey was preparing for a charity hockey game, while Michelle kept reading fake articles from one of Kimmyā€™s magazines. One article about a ā€œNorwegian Goat Boatā€ scared her ā€” until Stephanie explained why it wasnā€™t real.Ā 

ā€œWell, they can never get through the metal detector after eating all those tin cans,ā€ Stephanie Tanner explained to her younger sister. That made Michelle feel better until she learned about a creature that was half-man and half-dog.

Stephanie and DJ were always getting into arguments, whether it be about going on ā€œjoy ridesā€ with the bad kids or who got the role in a local commercial. No matter what DJ said, though, Stephanie was always there with a comeback.

As Stephanie Tanner got older, she and DJ remained close. For the spinoff series, Fuller House, the two moved into their childhood home after the death of DJā€™s partner. They eventually had a triple wedding with DJā€™s best friend, Kimmy Gibbler.

Most episodes of Full House are available on Hulu, while Fuller House is available on Netflix.
