Cut. It. Out!
—Joey's catchphrase.

In the episode "Love Is In The Air", Joey is revealed to be an ordained minister, starting a religion based on ice hockey called "Our Lady of the Holy Goalie."

Role in the house 

Although there was some tension between Joey and Jesse when they first move in with the Tanners, they quickly become good friends to the point where Jesse asks Joey to be his best-man at his wedding. Jesse also insists his children call Joey, "Uncle Joey" as a sign of respect. Joey was not related to the Tanner family, but he acts as an uncle to the kids of the house. Joey usually handles the day-to-day raising of the kids by doing chores like making meals, driving the kids to  appointments, and after school activities, taking care of Michelle as a baby, and helping the kids with their homework. Joey also buys D.J. her first car for her 16th birthday.
