Funny cuddly bear. What's not to likie about Jim Gaffigan.

Is he well known in Europe? Do they even have stand up in Europe. Wait. Do they even have a sense of humor there? I can't think of a single European comedian.

One of the bonding moments each week I have with my mother is our utter shear hate we have of this man on the CBS Sunday Morning show. He is like the ultra male Karen and despicable and should not have been allowed to have so many evil spawn, which he seems to despise, yet wrings out any misplaced humor he can from them.

Our Jim Gaffigan troll is one of the weirder trolls.

I don't really care for him. He's boring. The rightwing nutjobs really hate him now after he went off on Trump a few weeks ago, which is at least a little entertaining.

By Europe, do you mean Norway, Hungary or Greece? Americans are hilarious when they assume we are one homogenous place on the map.

On the subject, yes, we have stand-up comedy. French and Swiss comedians are the best! And Jim Gaffigan is well known. His latest special on Canada is my favourite. But I thought he was spectacular in a dramatic role in Them That Follow. What an actor!

Eddie Izzard is European and funny. Smart funny, the kind I like.

I fucking loathe Jim Gaffigan. He's a major asshole. A couple decades ago, I was casting my first film and his name came up for a role. I was familiar with him and he wasn't right for the role so I said no to seeing him. I was in the casting office one morning and he was there on another audition, was introduced to me and pounded me in the back twice, very aggressively. Hurt like fuck.

He's also not funny.

He looks like walking cum.

I liked his sitcom on TVLand. I don't know anything about his standup because I never watch comics.

I love a good Swiss comedian!

He isn't at all edgy or relevant, nor is he even funny. Mildly amusing, I suppose, but totally G-rated comedians just don't do it for me. As an aside, when you hear him on Sirius/XM radio, he sounds exactly like Daniel Tosh.

I've always liked him. Generational, I suppose

Ugh, he is so repulsive, and I say that as someone who is attracted to blonds and bears. He did yet another segment on CBS Sunday Morning about his five kids, how was he allowed to procreate so much, those are not genes that should be part on. How did he become the Erma Bombeck of morning shows?

Take her name out of your mouth.

I think he's pretty funny, and knowing he pisses off the Trumpers makes it even funnier.

He's a fat devout Catholic from the midwest who makes Andy Williams look edgy. No thanks.

I think he’s pretty funny. I also liked his sitcom.

by Anonymousreply 16May 2, 2021 4:50 PM

Which is his sitcom?

by Anonymousreply 17May 2, 2021 5:56 PM

He's funny. He also gives my eyes a pleasurable time.

by Anonymousreply 18May 3, 2021 10:10 PM

I don't hate him but his appeal mystifies me

by Anonymousreply 19May 3, 2021 10:15 PM

He looks like white bread in human form, bland and uninteresting.

by Anonymousreply 20May 3, 2021 10:16 PM

That's comedy? Jesus, some stale "haha foreigners are weird" humour is really low.

by Anonymousreply 21May 3, 2021 10:20 PM

Yeah I'm easily amused. I'm here, am't I?

by Anonymousreply 22May 3, 2021 10:25 PM

He's one of those "I hate my kids" comedians. Trashy and not entertaining.
