Editorial Reviews

The unhippest guy in the room is going to crack you up! Jim Gaffigan, one of the whitest comedians in show biz, is the nice guy next door ... with more than a hint of the devil in him! A regular of The Ellen Show, Ed and That '70s Show, the versatile actor-comedian also is a favorite performer on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and the Late Show with David Letterman. His Comedy Central special ranks as one of the network's highest rated shows. In this brand-new comedy performance, he's more hilarious than ever with his unique style of self-deprecating observations and catty audience commentary!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, and worth every penny, August 22, 2006

This review is from: Jim Gaffigan - Beyond the Pale (DVD)

I caught this twice on TV and both times was laughing so hard it hurt. I just had to buy it so I could show it to more people. We must watch it at home at least a couple times a month now, and show it to everyone we can. Gaffigan is a genius in this: he is so funny, discusses so many common themes for his jokes (laziness, eating) with only a couple insinuating jokes that might be innappropriate, otherwise very clean-cut and not filled with bad language like so many other comedians. I am so glad I bought this, it has been so worth it and gotten so much time from my DVD player. We are always quoting from this, just so much of it is so true! You will love it and not be sad you spent the small price to buy it. There are some cute special features too, but the routine is the best part.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Do I sit in it or eat it? I guess I could sit in it AND eat it.", September 6, 2006

This review is from: Jim Gaffigan - Beyond the Pale (DVD)

Jim Gaffigan is one of the best comedians I've seen in a long time. His jokes are great and fun for the whole family.

Jim Gaffigan manages to entertain and produce good quality comedy without resorting to sex jokes and dirty language. That's not to say crude humor can't tickle my funny bone just as well, but it's refreshing to listen to Jim Gaffigan's routine and not worry about offending the folks. =)

The bonus features on this DVD are sub-par, but the actual stand-up is great and well-worth the money. I highly reccomend this to all comedy fans, young and old.

This review is from: Jim Gaffigan - Beyond the Pale (DVD)

I didn't see this dvd, but did catch the special on Comedy Central last night. At first I was gonna change the channel, and was so glad I didn't. I loved his stuff about Hot Pockets, funny funny funny!! I absolutely LOVED his Inside Voice... "Hey, I like the IHOP!" "He's a crackhead!" "His pants look dirty." "Baloney hater!" "He better not!" One thing I really appreciated about his act was that it's clean, not vulgar or profane. It's something you can enjoy with your kids or elderly family members and not get embarrassed watching it. Humor in Hot Pockets, who knew?!
