Full House: 10 Moments That Show Michelle Tanner Was A Terrible Person

1. Princess For A Day

Season 6: "The House Meets The Mouse Parts I & II" Little known fact: when Disney purchased ABC in the early-1990s, they passed down a decree that all of their new television shows must make one trip to The Happiest Place On Earth. So, to appease the Mouse, the Full House troop made the trip to Walt Disney World, and almost immediately Michelle is granted the title of "Princess For A Day." How? By budding in front of her sister, Stephanie, and rubbing a magic lamp of course. The title gave Michelle three wishes. Her first wish: the ability for her and her sisters to jump to the front of any line, a wish I am sure any of us would make at a place famous for hour-plus wait times for the most popular rides. But of course, being the despicable person she is, Michelle forced her sisters to ride the carousel and only the carousel all day. And when D.J. and Stephanie protested, Michelle up and ran away. In the beginning of Part II, Michelle was approached by "Snow White," who confessed that she knew Michelle ran away, but still brought Michelle to a Tea Party with Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Dopey, Alice in Wonderland, amongst others. Ultimately the family found Michelle at the tea party- disrupting all of their individual plans in the process- and joined her, again rewarding her awful, selfish behavior. Do you know how terrible you have to be to ruin "The Happiest Place On Earth?" Very, very terrible. And Michelle was mere moments from ruining Stephanie's entire day when Jiminy Crickett (or whatever her conscience is) kicked her in the butt, and Michelle used her last wish to make Stephanie Princess for the Day. Of course, she made that wish with two hours left in the day, and Michelle was still rewarded with the honor of riding in the parade during fireworks. But this one good deed cannot make up for the ten-previous hours- and surrounding seasons- of pure terrible selfishness on the part of Michelle Tanner. Have I been too harsh? Is there worse moments from Mary-Kate and Ashley? Is this a learned behavior from inappropriate handling of discipline at the hands of her three ill-informed father-figures? Or is Michelle a classic case of narcissism?
