Funniest History Jokes | Jim Gaffigan Standup

[@deplorableokie]

There’s not many comedians who can have me bursting with laughter while alone no matter how many times I’ve heard the set: Jim is one of the few

[@johnturki2634]

I haven't found any comedians, not even jim, who can make me laugh even after hearing their set multiple times

[@ThomasMHP-we2mt]

Jim , always a pleasure to listen to you 😊 ..

[@WdawgSmith]

@@johnturki2634I think your in the minority I mean if you are talking about watching it twice in a week then yeah But I can watch Chris rocks stand up and Jerry Seinfeld stand up once every few years and laugh You might just not be an easy laugher I can’t remember the last comedy movie that made me laugh Like actually laugh Louis ck can make me almost pee my pants though at times Edit - After some thought though I believe you were actually making a commentary on that syndrome that people get where whatever comedians YT video they just finished watching It’s the greatest ever I saw someone say that fortune feemster was the cutest and funniest comedian of all time on the comments of some video she was in That’s a serious syndrome right there So while I initially disagreed with you and still do I think you were trying to point out that the person was embellishing
