Man I thought I had seen all his work!

[@tomjoad929]

@Burr Anderson would instantly pick u up on a bad day

[@Seetiyan]

I'm a linguist and I think Gaffigan deserves an honorary linguistics degree just for pointing out the way ugly=bad is built into our language.

[@RLaHive]

It's just nature I'm afraid.. Society is a reflection of ourselves as a collective consciousness. Babies respond to attractive looks more positively that somebody who is objectively ugly..

[@mr.casillas1556]

@@RLaHive true

[@manualLaborer]

It almost sounded like he had a tiny bit more material but he closed it on that good note... more comedians should do that.

[@rebeccaatkinson6612]

BRIAN u have to be kidding I have heard a ton new so stay tuned

[@parasxoselement7524]

These beauty jokes were really deep and truthful and hurt a lot tbh..grat job he did there.

[@unclefreddieDied]

yeah... I'm going through an awkward phase right now

[@anniefannycharles9951]

@@unclefreddieDied oh jeezus LOL

[@lisaf.2636]

Although beauty is talked about a lot it’s not what makes somebody love another person. It isn’t even what makes somebody like another person. It is true that if somebody is beautiful on the outside but mean and nasty on the inside they stop looking beautiful. If somebody is averagep on the outside but beautiful on the inside then even the outside becomes beautiful...it may be the way someone stands or the curve of their mouth, but suddenly there is no one that can replace them... so don’t despair!

[@tamarabradshaw4799]

Lisa F. Wow, that was beautifully stated Lisa, and so true. I believe that also, that beauty really starts on the inside. Bravo.

[@shuttermaniacproductions5149]

I can't stop looking at the food stain on his shirt. Definitely fits the bit. Jim Gaffigan is awesome.

[@cisium1184]

I never noticed that. But I did notice the big pit stain under his arm at the end.

[@jamesbelkin9204]

Probably from a hot pocket

[@granny58]

I know. Me too.

[@dianekmk]

🥓

[@us-bw6hg]

Or the sweat stains in the pits that he's trying to hide by holding his arms really close to his body.

[@assmane999]

This was a solid set, and I have heard none of these jokes before by him.

[@thearyaputra]

Jim is the comedian who didn't lost his touch. Still funny after all these years.

[@jfry3276]

More of Jim please

[@MehboobIslam]

This guy looks like if Andy and Conan had a kid together

[@whatisthis-uw9ok]

Hot.

[@Zetsuke4]

So all you're saying is he used to be leaner but now he is fatter.

Thank you Jim, I needed that laugh today! Thank you!

[@danoduncan1763]

Halle Berry heard that joke and is STILL laughing !... xD

[@vaughnkavon3993]

Jim you are a great performer. There's a bit of acting going on occasionally with the back and forth between the real and the fantasy person with a different voice. It's good timing, good jokes, and those funny stories that people love. The audience laughter and applause adds to it also. I really want see you live as soon as possible so I can tell others "I was there". I've recommended your You Tube videos to most all of my family so they can appreciate you too.

So unbelievably true. The bar has been set so high for men. Half the guys at the gym would be considered serious bodybuilders/weightlifters 30 years ago. It's over the top.
