Jim Gaffigan: Stand-up dad

Imagine 5 little kids in a two-bedroom New York City apartment. It almost sounds like the first line to a joke, but to father and comedian Jim Gaffigan, it's reality. Anthony Mason reports.

    No one understands how much I love this man!!! Like, oh my gosh he's amazing. And I LOVE that he's "clean". I am 16 and curse but i try not to watch bad stuff and videos where people curse and say "dirty" things. That's the reason I love him so much. Because I can talk to my mom about him and tell her his jokes, because he's funny.

Nope, not weird, it's inspiring and loving. Look how little his kids are and they are so well behaved. It's because he keeps them close and tight to him.............. Rock on.

    I really like him. He's always funny yet doesn't have jokes about the typical things that comics talk about like trashing women or bitching about their wife or girlfriend or mocking any specific stereotype. The best kind of comics are the ones that make jokes about stuff that most people can relate to yet never have to put anyone else down to get a laugh.

    Hurts to hear him say that being considered "clean" is meh. And then comparing himself to other clean comedians of the past, Bill Cosby, etc. Here's the difference, Cosby grew up in a clean era. Jim Gaffigan is a light in a vast dark world of comedy. He should not feel anything less than absolutely charming. Keep it real Jim, and thank you for keeping it clean. Intelligent people don't need to swear to be funny.

    I understand not wanting to be pigeonholed for something not directly related to his material. And there are numerous stand ups today whose topics aren't dirty in themselves but splatter their routines with adult language to seem more "honest" or "real." A strength of Gaffigan's material is its descriptiveness, and F words et al visualize nothing, so why bother?

    ***** actually, I got my start on Comedy Central. Check out the stand-up I posted a couple of days ago and I give the story on that. It was after I shot a video for Tosh.0 that I thought maybe I should do stand-up. So I watched every comedy special on Netflix, wrote out my own hour long special, then started doing open mics. So I kind of went about it backwards. But the reality is that making highly opinionated videos on KZread got me to open up. Before than I was pretty afraid to talk even to friends.

    I think it's much more difficult to be funny when your performance is clean, which is the reason I particularly enjoy and admire his work - not to mention, this also usually means that you need to get pretty creative. Crude humor on the other hand tends to be elementary to me, and taking an example like the "that's what she said" joke, has much more potential for stringing together ideas for jokes that don't require much thinking at all. That's not to say you can't have elaborate jokes in a crude act (this much is obvious), but on the whole it's very "easy" by comparison.

    I love hearing about how many kids they have. They can afford them. They love them. If anyone should have bunches of kids, it's them and the Duggards.

    I stood in the dumbo line for an hour and a half too. That has been my "line" for ever as to how you know you are a parent. Really enjoying finding Jim.

    My four kids turned me on to him. Pure comedy gold. Dads understand.
