Jim Gaffigan: Comedy Monster

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.

He's such a funny, intelligent and observant comedian. Always makes me laugh and smile. I love his smart clean humor. He easily transitions from different topics easily.

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.

Provides a couple of chuckles and technically speaking he's a solidly skilled comedian, but all the joke topics are so derivative, and he doesn't really bring a new or interesting spin to the topics he tackles. Plus, his voice was sometimes a little annoying at time, but that's subjective, and also I'm a bit of a jerk.

I've only seen one other Gaffigan special, and while I didn't love it, it still had more laughs than this. May check out other old specials of his when I'm next in a standup-watching mood.

Not his best special but still funny. Funny jab at the pandemic and some clever jokes about marching bands, bikers and getting old/fat. But some sections were completely unfunny and cringe. Even the audience was silent, reminding him that the jokes were overcooked and not working. His golfing bit was kinda funny. His finale joke fell flat also. Oh well, still a fan.
