Jim Gaffigan: Dark Pale

Jim is usually hilarious to the point I rewatch and laugh endlessly at his specials. This one, I actually found myself thinking about turning it off. Just over an hour and maybe half of it is worth watching and half of that makes you laugh. If you find yourself thinking of turning it off, go ahead you aren't really missing much and definitely not a one liner you will find yourself repeating to friends. Really for me if this is how future specials, if any, are going I am sad to lose Jim as a good comedian. If you have to watch, just go in expecting a lesser show, it will help. I don't know if you saw some of his small stuff before Beyond the Pale, this feels like that. His timing is off, his stories are a bit too long before a punchline. Overall if you are a diehard fan it isn't bad, if you are looking to try Jim's comedy out for the first time, check out any of his other specials instead.
