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.

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.

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?!

This guy is the best comedian I've ever seen and I've seen 'em all. I drove out to Pittsburgh and listened to his CD for 10 straight hours, then bought the DVD the day I got back and watched it 3 times that week. I just can't get enough. My friends and I are still quoting him non-stop, 2 months later. His 'inner voice' is priceless! I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes to laugh, I've been recommending it to all of my friends as well.

We caught this special on Comedy Central last night - we NEVER watch this channel because most of the time comedians can't do an act without interjecting some sort of profanity. But, we were so glad we stopped to hear this truly original and so very funny man! From his bit about the different holidays to the hot pocket joke - we laughed so hard we were hurting! Our favorite thing he does is to say out loud what some in the audience might be thinking...he surprises you with it, but always does it in the same voice so you catch on to what he's doing. We thoroughly enjoyed this program...so much I'm here reviewing what others read because I'm planning to purchase it as a gift for my husband!

I was in Chicago at the Vic Theatre the day that this was taped, and all I have to say is the show was great. Jim put on an amazing show for us, and uses a lot of new material, and even some really good jokes from his "Doing My Time CD/DVD". The show lasted just under an hour from what I remember and was well worth attending.

All I would say is if you like to laugh, or like cake, this DVD is for you. (once you see the show, you will understand what I mean about cake)

I just watched a special on Comedy Central earlier tonight of this DVD. Granted, it was only 40 minutes of it, but it was amazing. All of the sketches were great, as usual - he made great use of the inside voices "But I like Pandas," "This guy isn't very nice," and "He's going to hell in two different religions." Obviously, I can't do justice to it, you'd have to see it for yourself... absolutely glorious. He also goes on a rant about hot pockets for 10 minutes... soo funny.. "hooooooooottt pooockkkeeeetttt."

You should definitely get this DVD, I know I'm going to

Jim Gaffigan is a great comic. His material is clean, but still hilarious. He is observant of everyday things, and can make a long stint about hot pockets funny. His use of a "little audience voice" is also very unique and brings even more humor to his set. It's a great way to spend an hour, and it also makes a great gift for anyone-- it won't offend!

Don't watch this DVD without plenty of newspaper at hand, because you're going to have a little puddle to soak up after you wet yourself from laughing so hard.

Got a grudge against Catholics, pandas, chickens, hot pockets, vegetarians, or people with no sense of humor? Gaffigan's got ya covered.

Jim Gaffigan is one of the funniest comedians alive, and this DVD is a must-buy.

HOOOOOT POCKET!!!

I will be going to see Jim for the 5th time this month here in Houston, Jim is BY FAR the best standup I've ever seen and I see lots of standup (I like my comedy dirty or clean)... I love all the "inside voices" he does and when he first gets on stage and says.. "YAY, hurray, YAY.. I don't know me either!!" I love his CDs and hope this DVD is just as good.. Also a word of warning, if you talk at one of Jims show get ready for the "chit chat, chit chat" LMAO just thinking about it..

Back to the DVD

ONLY Ten Dollars for JIM COME ON, you gotta buy it!!

Jim if you read this congrats on your new baby I hope you get her a nice pizza box to play with!!
