Comedy Central Presents: Jim Gaffigan (2000)
JIm Gaffigan's Comedy
His act is hysterical. The "hot pockets" routine is one of the best I've ever heard. He wants to know why they don't offer them in restaurants: "I'll have the Caesar salad....and the hot pocket." But his high-pitched version of people in the audience who are offended by his jokes is unique and insanely funny. "Hey, buddy! I like NASCAR!!! You're a jerk!" he practically whispers. He's a comedic genius. And he's fruit cake skit is also a classic: "Fruit - good. Cake - great. Fruit cake - a bunch of nasty crap!". Jim makes fun of himself in various ways, offering that he's had a "stomach implant" as why he appears to be overweight but that it's "big with the ladies." The result is his having to get their attention when they stare at his gut: "Hey! I'm up here!" he says pointing to his eyes.
