Synopsis

The greatly anticipated follow up to the platinum selling Beyond the Pale. In this Austin performance that capped off the 2008 sold-out stand up tour, Gaffigan does not let the audience catch their breath. This all-new show proves no other comedian working today can romanticize laziness and over-indulgence like Jim Gaffigan.

Steineded How sad is this?
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
classicsoncall In a follow up to his stand-up special "Beyond the Pale", Jim Gaffigan continues his assault on the mundane, this time coming to you from Austin, Texas. His favorite topics seem to include being lazy and eating, and appear to permeate all the other subjects he brings to the fore - like watching TV, camping, useless furniture (futons and beanbags), vegetarians, recycling, Dunkin' Donuts, and ketchup. Oh, and bacon, can't forget the bacon. This guy's love affair with bacon knows no bounds, how else do you do ten minutes of stand-up on a breakfast food? He even takes a stab at what might be considered controversial in the way of religion, but his comments on circumcision and miracles are finely tailored to withstand the thoughts of his audience who might find it blasphemous - "I think he's going to hell"! The only thing I didn't get was the title of his routine - 'King Baby'. There's probably a joke in there somewhere that I simply missed.
MartinHafer Whenever Jim Gaffigan comes on television, I make sure to watch him. This is because I find his humor very, very funny. On top of that, his humor is also generally very clean and family-friendly--with little, if any, cursing or 'blue humor'. Too often, clean comedians aren't funny but he really is and I'd place him among the top five funniest stand-up comics I've heard.As you'd expect, Gaffigan talks about his old familiar topics--laziness, food, more laziness and just plain bizarre observations. In addition, in one small portion, he talks about religion. Now I didn't find this particularly offensive, but I know others will. If my mother-in-law had heard it, she clearly would have had a stroke (a minor one).
gavin6942 No need to write a really thorough review here. Jim Gaffigan has made a name for himself with jokes about food and eating. He continues that tradition here (discussing fast food and Waffle House) but branches out into the joy of bowling.Gaffigan is funny not so much for what he says but how he says it. Of course, that is true of most comics, but I think he has really turned it into an art. How else do you get millions of people to come to your shows and watch you on TV just to hear you talk about your experiences with lunch? The way this was shown on Comedy Central with commercials was a bit tedious, but an uncut home version would be especially funny.
secondmozart1 I was able to watch Jim Gaffigan: King Baby on Comedy Central recently. I was very surprised by just how funny it actually was. I had never heard of Jim when I started watching but now he is one of my favorite comedians. His comedy does not use vulgar or "dirty" topics or language, in fact I found myself laughing at most of it because I could relate it to my personal experiences. His voice that is supposed to be the thoughts of people in the audience is very funny, often making comments that people would actually be thinking about.Overall his performance was very good, Jim Gaffigan is a very funny man. After watching this show I actually watched his earlier show, Beyond Pale, which is just as funny as this one. So if you are looking for a good laugh pick up this DVD or CD because it will be well worth it.10/10
