Jim Gaffigan: O Rei da Comédia

I think it was his best special, several times he had me doubled over laughing, really good show. Target audience is early 40s with kids, it will really hit home.

If you like well written and performed comedy, then you will like this. Gaffigan is a master and there is a reason that the guy has so many specials. While one might think you don't want to even HEAR about covid, he has a funny take on it, as well as some great material on his kids' aspirations, etc.

Now... if you're another chronic compalainer who looks for things to gripe about without actually WATCHING the special... then don't. Some people look for ways to use their favorite words like 'cringe' and 'beta male' and 'cucky' - all in an effort to make themselves appear 'alpha'. And in so doing, they dismiss an entire hour+ or material as 'men bad/women great'. That's not even REMOTELY what this special is. Ignore the inane psuedo political rantings of people who continue to use the words 'cringe' as though it's an adjective. Because it isn't. No matter how often hipster posers try to use it that way.

3 hours ago Jim is a thoughtful, funny, and likable comedian. This Netflix special reflects on life during the Pandemic lockdown of 2020-2021. As always he reflects on his life as a father of 5, a husband, an entertainer, and a devote lover of food. This is an intelligent and mature comedy special. Jim does not go for the shock, or the cheap laughs. He is very self-effacing and he does it well. One of things I truly admire about him is his ability to continuously churn out good and relevant content. HIs humor is adult, and by that I don't mean sexual or blue- it is adult because his perspective lands best with people that are in relationships and can relate to the experience of kids. This one is great because it provide social commentary without political divisiveness. He is very well researched in his approach to the material; for example-he jokes about marching bands but understands them really well.

I can tell the pandemic was hard on Jim, like all of us.

His delivery was the usual casual stroll that makes his comedy seem effortless, and he talked about relevant topics that I thought were occasionally very funny.

Sometimes the bits fell a bit flat, the "things that look like Jim" bit went on too long and was overly repetitive. Other than that, I enjoyed this. There aren't many comedians who can still make it look easy.

P. S.: Just because it turns out Jim doesn't necessarily mesh with your political views, doesn't mean he's not funny.

Warm up act was funnier. Very dull and boring routines. Told stories, not jokes. He couldn't get off the stage fast enough. Will not pay again to see him live. Extremely disappointed. If I could get my money back I would.
