I was supposed to clean my garage out this morning here I am watching Gaffigan talking about laziness, lol.

[bellbrass]

He killed it here. He's still killing it. One of the best ever.

[maryloomis]

God bless this guy...having a little anxiety today and I'm forgetting about it. I guess laughter IS the best medicine!

[rockstar.mindset]

22 years later and this is still funny. <3

"Anybody here The Pope?"
That had me dying. Such perfect delivery.

Many years ago, I was lucky enough to work with Jim Gaffigan at the Manchester Comedy Festival at the Buzz Club. What a masterclass. I still smile at his mayonnaise material twenty odd years later.

This was my first Gaffigan experience, so happy to run across it again!

[G-Fi-High]

Watching his career trajectory in reverse is amazing, because his genius was right there at the very start. Everyone is all about Chapelle, Burr and CK, which they should be, but this guy has put his time in and produces

I used my vacation time to get a neccerary operation. When the hospitality cart came around, I bought a post card with the picture of the hospital. I wrote, "Having a great time. Wish you were here. The veil is great, but the food is lousy." and sent it to where I worked. It was on the bulletin board when I returned.

His comedy holds up even years later!😆

[HPLovethrash]

My favorite joke of his is still the one about being at church praying but really thinking about "... did I go to Wendy's twice yesterday?"

[kikidvv]

I love Jim Gaffigan! Good, clean straight humor.

[JohnSmith-qnob]

Jim Gaffigan use to look like Ed Begley Jr.
Now he looks like Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I remember staying up way past my bedtime to watch Comedy Central Presents and this one was a favorite ❤

[johnmills]

I remember seeing this with my mom years ago on a Friday night and I've been a huge fan ever since.

[bobgoldie]

Brilliant, clean humor all the way through. Jim Gaffigan is a treasure!

[angeltosome]

Been a fan ever since I saw this special 20 years ago. That’ll grab you by the horn.

[Metal.mike]

That mayonnaise bit had me dying at work

[willfreese]

This young Gaffigan kid shows a lot of promise.

This was my introduction to stand-up comedy, and what eventually got me hooked. The material is brilliant – and I actually have nostalgia for the dated content (but still find it funny).
