Jim Gaffigan Loves His Five Children, But Admits: “It Was A Mistake”

[@huizhechen3779]

Gaffigan has always been extremely funny, & he still is. Love his jokes, his delivery, & his timing.

[@johnsimth6587]

He slipped in an abortion joke about his 17 year old kid and did it so... Gaffigan like it came off as clean heh.

[@Gymnopediea]

He's weirdly brilliant. And I don't even get his values. Sharply clever is sharply clever.

Love Gaffigan, in 2020 and his kids provided relief on KZbin.

[@williamjones7163]

I come from a family of six kids. I am number four. We never all went on vacation. Six kids on vacation means 8 changes of clothes every day, 8 meals 3 times a day = 24 meals a day, 24 bathroom breaks (healthy bowels), snacks, all traveling in a VW bus. Keeping track of 6 kids, 2 adults and one dog. No wonder Dad built us a cabin in the woods by a lake. We always knew where we were going and how much it was going to cost. I would get car sick and have to stop either to throw up or just to take a break. But after I was sick, I felt fine and was ready to continue. Those were the best years of my life.

[@ryanm4319]

Coming from a family with just my brother and I, fighting relentlessly, tying each other to trees, I always thought it would be so much fun to have more siblings. But now that I’m the age they were then, I realize they never would’ve survived. Our happy place was a tiny cabin too on a creek up by PSU where he went to school. Funny thing my brother and I never fought that week. Here’s to incredible levels of Dad patience and direction no matter the brood;)

[@waryaawariiri1812]

We are 20 siblings, including me. The youngest was born in 1986. My mother had ten of us and the aunt had 12 as well. Two passed away. We grew up in this large compound villa, with two separate houses back in Mogadishu. Now we are scattered all over the world - Canada, U.S., Eastern Africa, Middle East and Europe with all our own children, which happen to be around 120+, not counting the grandchildren.

[@Levelistchampion]

Gaffigan has a joke about going on a European vacation with--maybe it was four kids at the time--and how it was like taking a pile of money and setting it on fire.

[@mabelurena8311]

Sounds great 😊
