Jim Gaffigan: Comedy Monster

He's such a funny, intelligent and observant comedian. Always makes me laugh and smile. I love his smart clean humor. He easily transitions from different topics easily.

I think it was his best special, several times he had me doubled over laughing, really good show. Target audience is early 40s with kids, it will really hit home.

I have watched every Jim Gaffigan special on Netflix. This special had its funny moments, but there were various spots where Gaffigan was not connecting, and the jokes were just observations. Not funny or unfunny, just nothing.

The pandemic jokes were stale. Gaffigan also hit being overweight and his food obsessions. He does that in every comedy special. He usually has some new spin on those topics, to make it fresh and funny. This time, it sounded really tired.

I can only say that there are some Gaffigan specials that I have seen many times (like Quality Time which is fast paced & awesome), because they are really funny. I tried watching Comedy Monster a second time, and I had to give up. Not very funny.

Warm up act was funnier. Very dull and boring routines. Told stories, not jokes. He couldn't get off the stage fast enough. Will not pay again to see him live. Extremely disappointed. If I could get my money back I would.

3 hours ago Jim is a thoughtful, funny, and likable comedian. This Netflix special reflects on life during the Pandemic lockdown of 2020-2021. As always he reflects on his life as a father of 5, a husband, an entertainer, and a devote lover of food. This is an intelligent and mature comedy special. Jim does not go for the shock, or the cheap laughs. He is very self-effacing and he does it well. One of things I truly admire about him is his ability to continuously churn out good and relevant content. HIs humor is adult, and by that I don't mean sexual or blue- it is adult because his perspective lands best with people that are in relationships and can relate to the experience of kids. This one is great because it provide social commentary without political divisiveness. He is very well researched in his approach to the material; for example-he jokes about marching bands but understands them really well.
