Jim Gaffigan: Quality Time

I see there are a few disatisfied fans with this show, people complaining about the audience not having real fun, fake laughter and so on. My question is Does that really matters if the audience had fun or not? It's just about if you had fun or not, the rest isn't important. I had a lot of fun watching Quality Time so I really can't complain. This was the third show that I watched from Jim Gaffigan. After Mr. Universe (2012) and Noble Ape (2018) I was expecting the same kind of humor and that's exactly what I got. Jim has an unique way to bring his jokes, talking to the audience with questions, making his silly voices, it's all very entertaining and funny. I'm a fan of Jim Gaffigan. He's the kind of comedian I wouldn't mind paying to see him perform. There are a lot of stand-up comedians nowadays and he stands out.

Gaffigan is one of the most reliably hilarious comedians out there. He has several specials out and this is as good as any of them.

He also works clean. It's nice to be able to show my kids a comedian without being worried about content.

This is the best Jim Gaffigan I remember seeing. I guess I remember liking him and enjoying it before but this was really fun from beginning to end. Now, this is a comic telling jokes and IMDB has gone back to requiring a lot of words. I don't want to give away his jokes. I don't even want to talk about the subjects of the jokes because that would sort of be a spoiler and won't make the jokes better. It's interesting that I could just rate this and give it a score but if I want to say anything, I have to come up with 600 characters of something to say. He does talk about horses and shirts. Actually he talks about horses sort of like the Moby Dick whale species chapters. Quite a bit. But he does apologize for that.

This video appeared in my amazon prime list, and I am so glad that I watched it. All the jokes were unoffensive. The "horse" jokes were hilarious. His take on NY Marathon was amazing. I have rarely come across comedians who can make people laugh without indulging in crude language. I strongly recommend watching this for 1 hour of pure fun. You will be smiling all through the video. You can watch it with kids. Best wishes to Jim. Will watch all of his other videos, and await his next one. Thank you for making us laugh.

I really enjoyed this show. He did several different voices, which was good. He went pretty fast from one joke to another, so it felt like he was really maintaining a pace. I like the faster pace of the jokes in this special.

Gaffigan really unleashed some interesting themes that he kept moving forward, like the appendix and the bear. The horse theme was funny. I enjoyed this special a lot.

One thing others mentioned is the laugh track that seems to be in all of his specials, and I blame cheap production values for that. I think that instead of putting microphones all over the theatre to get audience reaction, the whole show is taped in front of a live audience and then Gaffigan does the whole show in a studio where his voice is synced to the live video, and the audience laughter is added in. That is just cheap production by his producers. We have all seen live shows were they manage to get the comic's voice crisp and clear, and the live audience reactions are also clear. I cannot take points off from Gaffigan because of the bad production values.
