DVD Reviews of Jim Gaffigan - Beyond the Pale
DVD Review: CLASSIC GAFFIGAN!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this show on Comedy Central and ended up having to buy it (I now own the DVD and the CD)....and we've seen him in person (at his show). Cannot get enough of Gaffigan!DVD Review: Don't be so touchy...
Summary: 5 Stars
Having just read the review about the blasphemous stuff... I own this on cd and don't think it's blasphemous at all. Jim takes Biblical stuff and kind of riffs on it.
For instance, he talks about the "Pearly Gates" and then asks, "WHat kind of neighborhood is Heaven in if it has gates?" He goes on to say that they had to put in the gates because "kids were sneaking in and using the pool."
In fact he even jokes about seeing people in Heaven and the other people are surprised... I think some people take it too seriously...
DVD Review: Simple Genius
Summary: 5 Stars
Besides the lame opening "preparing" sequence, Beyond the Pale is my absolute favorite stand up DVD special. A lot of people comment on how he doesn't use offensive language (at least no "swear words") and it's something most people can sit down and enjoy. And while that is true, it doesn't have anything to do with why I love this DVD.
One of the major little things that I love is the sound quality. I've listened (and watched) other stand up specials where the sound swings way too loud to barely being able to hear the audience laugh and have to constantly adjust my volume with remote in hand. You know what that is? annoying and work. And Jim Gaffigan and myself are not fans of doing more than necessary.
This hilarious DVD is about 80 minutes long - I think, I don't really keep track, I just keep it on repeat till I fall asleep or have had my share of greatness for one night. There are rarely any slow moments in the special, and the jokes come fast and constant. Some jokes will make people roll their eyes, but most are just downright fantastic and funny. I can't remember laughing and chuckling so much in a stand up special before, so a round of applause for Jim Gaffigan here.
I have friends - well, HAD friends who just didn't get this DVD. They didn't think it was funny and they didn't understand when he raised his voice and acted and said things as if he was an audience member. I feel bad for them because they're missing something geniune, simple and great. I've watched this DVD countless times, sometimes 4 or 5 times a night for weeks on end. I have most of the special memorized, but it's still so much fun to watch. Nothing is too serious, nothing has too much build up and there is no low points. Jim Gaffigan has gold on his hands with this simple stand up routine. No flashy lights or loud noises (looking at you prop molester and scream machine molester Dane Cook) here, this is simple hilarious observations that poke fun at food, the American way, religion and a few other topics.
I had a good feeling in my belly when I walked past this and saw it for the cheap price it was. Glad I went with my instinct and bought it. Easily one of my favorite DVD's (and most watched) and a clear favorite among my favorite stand up specials. Jim Gaffigan may not be entirely well known - yet - but even if he never becomes a massive mega star, I'll be happy knowing I have this little slice of heaven.
It's so good, I watch it without my pants on! (watch the DVD if you don't get the reference)
DVD Review: Not appreciated by Christians
Summary: 1 Stars
I was enjoying this DVD fairly well, until at the end, Gaffigan started making obnoxious and blasphemous remarks about Jesus Christ, which totally ruined it for me and my husband. For you Christians out there, be warned!DVD Review: New Gaffigan DVD "King Baby"!! March 29th!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I watch a lot of comedy DVDs, it is perhaps my favorite form of performance and entertainment. Jim Gaffigan is one of the most originally funny comics out there today. Its unbelievable the wit and humor Jim brings to sometimes simple aspects of daily life (or daily meals!). Even more amazing is that he doesn't stoop to the level of a lot of comics who just yell obscenities while yelling about sex.
Jim returns this March 29th with his new special "King Baby." I recently saw in LA his new set that constitutes the special and it is GREAT! A must for any bacon lover!

Description of Jim Gaffigan - Beyond the Pale
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.General DVDs
