In this Austin performance that capped off his sold-out 2008 stand-up tour, Gaffigan does not let the audience catch their breath. This all-new show proves no other comedian working today can romanticize laziness and overindulgence like Jim Gaffigan.

More of the Great Jim Gaffigan

No need to write a really thorough review here. Jim Gaffigan has made a name for himself with jokes about food and eating. He continues that tradition here (discussing fast food and Waffle House) but branches out into the joy of bowling.

Gaffigan is funny not so much for what he says but how he says it. Of course, that is true of most comics, but I think he has really turned it into an art. How else do you get millions of people to come to your shows and watch you on TV just to hear you talk about your experiences with lunch?

The way this was shown on Comedy Central with commercials was a bit tedious, but an uncut home version would be especially funny.

Comic, if slight, observations

Jim Gaffigan returns for his second major stand-up special. His approach has not changed a bit since the last time out as he continues mining the everyday for humour. Indeed, Gaffigan is a man who can stretch bacon for 10 minutes worth of material, and does stand atop the "white people problems" mountain. The recurring theme of laziness surfaces aplenty, as he uses it as a lens to view things like bowling, camping, hammocks, and fast food. Gaffigan does take a stroll through religion, but avoids controversy by simply using using situations out of the bible as backdrops for his fairly sanitized observations. Interesting to note that he uses his "audience" voice sparingly in this, except during the religious material, where he uses it as a defuser. Amusing if not entirely engaging.

Exactly what you'd expect.

Whenever Jim Gaffigan comes on television, I make sure to watch him. This is because I find his humor very, very funny. On top of that, his humor is also generally very clean and family-friendly--with little, if any, cursing or 'blue humor'. Too often, clean comedians aren't funny but he really is and I'd place him among the top five funniest stand-up comics I've heard.

As you'd expect, Gaffigan talks about his old familiar topics--laziness, food, more laziness and just plain bizarre observations. In addition, in one small portion, he talks about religion. Now I didn't find this particularly offensive, but I know others will. If my mother-in-law had heard it, she clearly would have had a stroke (a minor one).

Jim Gaffigan is always entertaining.

This was the fourth show I watched from Jim Gaffigan. I started with the recent ones and moved on to the early ones. The recent ones are slightly better in my humble opinion (Quality Time, and Noble Ape) but even the early shows are fun to watch. In King Baby Jim Gaffigan brings his show like we are now used to, with his different (mostly high pitched) voices, talking to himself like it's the audience questioning him, it's all brilliant and unique. Jim Gaffigan became one of my favorite stand-up comedians, his shows are always fun and entertaining.

Bowling & Waffle House

Jim Gaffigan is brilliant. He has a way of making his observations that makes them funny. I have said many of the same things about Waffle House and nobody laughed. Gaffigan makes it funny. I appreciate his style of humor.

If you like bowling, ketchup, the Waffle House, and other mundane things, watch Jim Gaffigan and you will enjoy everything in a totally new and funnier way.
