Jim Gaffigan: Stand-up dad

[@sislau]

How would 100 people not like this video? He's adorable. And the fact he's a clean family man living under his means? He's also an example many people in the world today could admire. Plus and plus. Win and win!

[@tonyjames1953]

He's wonderfully funny, yet wholly down-to-earth. That's a rare achievement for anyone in the spot light!

[@janek5970]

Jim Gaffigan and Brian Regan are both endlessly humorous. I have spent many happy hours listening to both of them. Both are brilliant.

[@jaylamb218]

He is by far one of the best EVER!!! And I’ve always been one of his biggest fans!!!!

[@Paula-go3tl]

MR. Gaffigan. YOU STEAL HEARTS WITH YOUR COMEDY. Your sweet funny and people like you. Enjoy every minute rhar you can with your babies . Before you know it it they will have grown and all youll have is the memories you make today.

[@MsPorkchop82]

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.

[@meggrotte4760]

If you like clean comedy as much as I do try dry bar comedy you'll love it it's funny

[@elvenatheart982]

Aww

[@skudbone]

I love his stand up! I can listen to it with kids in the same room. I really wish there was alot more of this type of comedians!

[@desaidn]

This guy is my favorite comedian, very humble.

[@phillipsmom6252]

I love him........ My parents had six kids and we grew up in a tiny two bedroom house. That was many years ago, we had a blast. Now he's doing it and people think it's weird. 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.

[@skynathan4674]

Did your parents have a net worth of 25 million? What is weird is how they didn't air the answer to the question.

[@ce7857]

Keep it clean Jim. That's the sign of true genius! Love ya!

[@tmhwriter]

Father of five...open to more. Wow! He's never going to have a disappointing Father's Day. Someone will always come through with something, if only more material for the act.

[@jolenetover1709]

I am happy that you do not use swear words, It makes you worth watching where the others are not. Thank You for your clean humor. I have been sending your clips to a little girl who has been in the hospital for a month and a week now. I think that laughter is important to healing. Keep up the good work.

[@Rockingruvin]

Super-dad Jim!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🥲🥲 I with ya buddy.

[@rettagarbo9896]

What isn't to love about Jim Gaffigan? Wish my Dad (Catholic father of six) had had the honor and sense of love and responsibility this guy has. Long live Gaffganistan!

[@jerryblanton587]

Watching you and your family brings a light into my life I laugh and smile every time I watch

[@ZelbeQahi]

He's a comedian that when I first heard him, I couldn't stop!

[@dultima11]

I just noticed Jim Gaffigan and I didn't even realize that he was "clean". Truly hysterical, this guy can bring you to tears laughing. I still don't really understand living in such a small apartment though, he's gotta be making pretty good money at this point in his career.

[@bobmars4996]

I love it that your clean with your act. Don't ever fear of that sir.

[@luckysmith8275]

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.

[@patricemarie2960]

[@KevinFuzell]

One me and my 12yr old Daughter's favorite comedians. We Love his stand-up and look forward to seeing him when he comes to Atlanta in 2014

[@JasonNation72]

Jim Gaffigan is the funniest comedian out there right now, and it was good to see one of TV's best storytellers, Anthony Mason, give him well deserved exposure. Awesome segment!

[@seththetechguy]

The most serious interview of gaffian ever

[@redrobin7638]

Jim Gaffigan - you are NOT icky! You make me laugh like no other! Thank you that you are not offensive!

[@erlindabrunt]

I love Jim talking about his family it makes me smile:-)

[@TheA2ztube]

This was great, and Jim is clean and hilarious. Yes, he has five children, so what? I wish the world was populated with people more like the children being raised in his home than some of outrageously insensitive commenters below.

[@jaimiekight]

Yes!

[@nancypinter5611]

I agree - times are different now. To be clean is now unusual.

[@brettrobinson2901]

Hey! I'm below, and I HEARD that! Actually I read it. I'm offended, but, since we're on a thread in Gaffganistan, I'll let it go.😒.….................still miffed.

[@hebguy07]

His shows on Netflix have gotten me thru my cancer!,every time I'm feeling down I watch one of his 5 shows and it makes me feel better.

[@jaimiekight]

I love him! Their family is an encouragement to me, such a down to earth and funny family! :)

[@VaughnJogVlog]

It's now clear why he stuck with the small apartment. Needed the material for his new TV series.

[@VaughnJogVlog]

***** yeah, well I do perform on stage so if you think it's that easy then have at it.

[@VaughnJogVlog]

***** 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 KZbin got me to open up. Before than I was pretty afraid to talk even to friends.

[@gerardotorres3374]

JAIMIE KIGHT next

[@alggazteca]

I love Jim's comedy because it's "clean", whatever that means. Is a kind of act that I can share with my kids and they love it! Thanks Jim. In this time and age having something to laugh about is really liberating.

He's an awesome comic. He's hilarious and he's watchable for the whole family. I get SOO sick of all the sex jokes all the time.

[@pjdjmj5749]

Yes, loud and vulgar is not funny.

[@learn2birth]

I love how he said "There's no goalie." What a great way to put that.

[@WiddoMouse]

I really like this guy....both his humor and his humanity. He says things that make me burst out in laughter. He does not find it necessary to lace his routines with F-words, C-words, etc. I could take children and my grandmother to one of his performances and everyone would laugh. Comparing him to Bill Cosby and Bob Newhart is spot on. I wish him and his family nothing but success and happiness.

[@MandaKwinshi]

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.

[@mahayanamom]

Wonder what he thinks of Bill Cosby now. Knowing JG, he's probably feeling compassion.

[@hd-xc2lz]

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?

[@yellowblanka6058]

I'm not a prude, but it's refreshing listening to a comedian that's not just rehashing the material of every other bottom-of-the-barrel comedian out there (going to the bar, club, sexual exploits, how wasted/high they got etc. etc. etc.)

[@LavenderFrog]

Manda Kwinshi in another interview they asked him why he does “clean” comedy, and he said “because Jesus tells me to”. So I think he’s more proud of being clean than he let’s on in this one 😁

[@hd-xc2lz]

Amy, please, that remark was said tongue in cheek.

[@bsc1430]

[@foustinakp]

I'm glad he's a clean comic no dirty comic in the whole world could be funnier than him. He's just real and actually funny :-)

[@geinikan1kan]

There is something incredibly positively American about Jim Gaffigan. He is a comic who subverts, not only everyday life, but the world of stand-up comedy itself. Gaffigan is clean. Like a clearly played arpeggio on an acoustic guitar.

[@dooley9817]

When he wears his hair longer, all I'm reminded of is Phillip Seymore Hoffman.

[@ladin425]

I loved this guy's standup. It's a unique experience these days to be able to laugh your ass off with your whole family and not feel awkward because of inappropriate comedic material that seems to be a given and not an exception for any comic that is worth watching. Now that I know a little bit more about him and his family, I find him inspirational and I'm proud to be a fan. Jim, keep up the good work and god bless!
