Jim Gaffigan: Cinco

I used to love Jim Gaffigan. I've watched all his specials and his TV series. But his whole "I'm fat and I love food" thing is getting old. I know that's his shtick, but after all his shows, it doesn't "delight" me anymore. The audience reactions seemed pretty meh in this special too, so I don't think it's just me.

Sorry Jim.

I'm not sure why IMDb demands 10 lines of text for submissions, so here's some more. Blah, blah, blah...

Wow, still not long enough. I'd rather read short, succinct reviews myself, IMDb. This filler is just a waste of everyone's time.

I love all of Jim's comic specials they're all hilarious I truly believe he's a genius like Andy Kaufman level scratch that better and this special does not disappoint I wish I could find it on DVD to purchase.

Maybe some of this is not all of the freshest material, and you (or who am I fooling, me) will smile or have a chortle than a full laugh. But if you come to this after watching several Gaffigan specials then there's a comfort level to bits about the seasons or going to an "old fashioned" steakhouse or the idiocy of hiking ("there isn't even a vending machine at the end of it, you just have to... walk back the way you came?")

He's the kind of comedian that gets five solid minutes out of fish on Fridays (more about the general WTF ery involving the idea of prioritizing fish than anything religious) and how that leads to *Fish?!" in general and how disgusting that can be, and you know I don't always need Carlin or Pryor, sometimes... A pale Midwest bag of fluff in a shirt and pants (and a belt which yeah he has material about skinny vs fat people wearing belts too) is just what the doctor ordered on a lazy Sunday morning.

Actually, a second belt line and I felt all too seen about his line (saying how women are much better than men looking out for how they look) how men will wear the same pair of pants because the belt's in there.

Wholesome entertainment for the entire family. Jim is a talented comedian who finds humor in everyday life. I thoroughly enjoyed Cinco!

I watch these Jim Gaffigan specials on Netflix regularly, even the ones that I have seen before. Jim Gaffigan's comedy is not gut-busting revelations, but humorous observances. They are fun to listen to when you are tired after work.

There are some themes that are getting old, like some of the fat jokes. I think he has to prepare a ton of new material for these specials, and maybe he needs to go outside his box in the future. Overall, for some comedy that is fun, and relaxing, this is an excellent show.
