A great stand up comic, he is just hilarious as can be and doesn't need to jump around everywhere or do stupid things like certain other main stream guys. Hoooot Pockeeeeeeeeetsss...his creepy voice is the best!

Gaffigan is GREAT!!

Gaffigan is a great comedian that will leave you literally sick to your stomach from laughter. He uses a Family-Friendly approach to comedy, and does not delve into subject matter that would be innappropriate for children.

Overall, A great dvd!

Jim Gaffigan - Beyond the Pale

Jim Gaffigan is brilliant in this stand up routine. Clever observations and clean language makes this a fun video for the family (13+) He brings to the surface the things we think of but forget to verbalize. You will not be able to look at "Hot Pockets" without hearing his "Hot Pocket" voice! I cannot watch this without wanting cake.

hilarious

Under the white guy "everyman" exterior lurks one of the cleverest original comedians of today. An established star in standup comedy and a frequent guest on the late shows of David Letterman and Conan O'Brien Jim Gaffigan is a noted actor as well from comedic turns in Super Troopers That 70s Show and Sex and the City to dramatic roles in dozens of films and TV dramas. But here his unique comedy persona takes over -- cantankerous but endearing clean but cutting with an irrepressible "inside voice" that keeps wickedly popping out - to the delight of the audience in Chicago's historic Vic Theater. And now you can share their guffaws. Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 014381309829 Manufacturer No: ID3098MGDVD

By Far the Greatest Comedian I've EVER Heard!!!!

2008-07-28
My husband and I caught Jim's HBO Special last year. We laughed so hard and for so long I didn't think we could take it anymore! We were so disappointed when his show was sold out in our area. BUT we were just able to go see him just a few weeks ago at the Landmark Theater in Richmond, VA. OH MY GOD were we so happy we made the 4 hour drive. Not only was it a new routine (which I thought 'how on earth can he top what he's done already?') but it was as side splittingly funny as what we'd already seen on TV. We would have been more than happy to see his old HBO routine but were so thrilled to see a whole new set and now have even more funny quotes to throw around to each other!! (Is he wearing girl jeans?-Are they Jordache?)
I've never written a review in my entire life but I just have to comment and support Jim and his work. My husband and I both think he is the greatest comedian EVER. His humor will have your face covered in tears and your stomach cramping from laughing. And it's such a 'light-hearted' comedy that it makes you feel so good!! I just bought the DVD so that I can first of all, watch it over and over again. But so that I can give it to my friends and family who haven't had the good fortune of knowing what it's like to be a part of the Gaffigan family. And quite honestly, he is such a nice person, you really do feel like you are a part of his extended family. And you'll find yourself wishing he really was part of your family just so you can hear what's going to come out of his mouth!!

congratulations Jim!! We'll be behind you every step of the way!!!!!

Hilarious Humor from a Gifted Comedian

2008-07-18
This DVD is one of the funniest works of comedy that I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Jim Gaffigan is not only the most talented comedian who is performing today, he is also one of the most family-friendly entertainers as well. There are a few words used that cause those of us who are more conservative to wince -- and some who are evangelical Christians like myself may find some of the religious humor objectionable. However, the vast majority of the material is very clean and downright funny. Parents should watch the DVD first to determine if they deem it suitable for their older children. I enjoyed the privilege of meeting Mr. Gaffigan in person after his recent performance in Tulsa and he is a thoroughly decent and very kind man.

Best 10 bucks ever spent

It gets funnier everytime I watch it... The best and cleanest stand up routine I've ever seen. If you don't like it... you have a very poor sense of humor.

Excellent stand-up from a funny guy

2008-06-22
I've seen Jim G on tv for years, from Conan O'Brien to Comedy Central. I have his previous work, Doin' My Time, which is also great so I bought this. It's at least as funny as the other DVD with some added material that's a little odd but entertaining. His work is easier to take than Dane Cook or Lewis Black, very little profanity and he makes fun of himself a lot. Not quite as much as Brian Regan who is also great, but I can't help but laugh at his little self-commentary in sotto voce, as if he's speaking for an audience member criticizing his work. Very original and hilarious. If I had any complaint it would be that there are no episodes of Pale Force included but they're available on the net so it's not a big deal, it just would have been convenient to have it all on one disk. If you like stand-up and have kids or don't care to listen to endless profanity, get this DVD and a Hot Pocket and enjoy.
