Gaffigan seems like such a regular, grounded person. It makes me enjoy his comedy even more.

Comedy probably keeps him from going mad.

That could probably be said for most of us. Although it does seem comedians tend to live in their head even more than the average person and need the emotional outlet

to be fair his jokes are simple.. but there is one every 5 seconds.. thats a comedy monster.. NOBODY DOES THAT !! THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO DO IT !!! i dunno, i want to love other comedians but I SUPER LIT UP when Jim, Louis and Burr release specials .. they've been my favorite ones for 15 years now, im very glad they never stopped and became SO BIG !! The thing with Jim Gaffigan is that he was very good from the beggining and his style is so hard to do. jokes every 5 seconds? for an hour ? He is hillarious!

My dad was the same way about movies. Never saw the first 5 minutes of a movie in the 80's. That's bad enough, but he'd also fast forward through the opening credits for way too long on rented movies, too. Wouldn't be so bad, except he'd complain the whole time that he didn't know what was going on, and often turn off the movie before the end. Maddening.

My parents made summer vacations as close to Napoleons invasion of Russia. We loaded up the Pontiac Tempest station wagon with grandma and the kids and traveled across the western United States. We saw all the National Parks and EVERY roadside historical marker. We rode in the back of the station wagon with no seat belts and waved at the long haul truckers. And I loved every single trip . They will always be a special place in my heart for those dusty, hot parks with no A/C and sandwiches every day for lunch. Good times and special memories!

Before they had ratings on movies my parents didn't realize what they were taking us too. Mom took me and my brother to see Up in Smoke, we made her sit 3 rows behind us. We saw Earthquake and Midnight Express (about young college kid sent to a Turkish prison) when I was like 8 years old. We watched what they watched there was no Pixar movies back then in 1978.

Jim Gaffigan is so funny ! The story he told about his dad taking them to the movies was hilarious, yet kind of sad at the same time. How was that even a thing? My dad used to take us to the movies, but only the drive In so he could pay by the car (10 kids) but I could kind of imagine him doing the same thing if we ever went to a regular movie…
