Jim Gaffigan: Beyond the Pale (2006)

20230802:
I watched the first 20 or so minutes of this special. It's leaving on August 11th or so. Jim Gaffigan makes extensive use of an interesting bit where he goes from him speaking to pretending like he's an audience member making comments.* Sometimes it just keeps the flow but sometimes it's hilarious.

While trying to recall a bit I found particularly funny, I liked when he was talking about the Food Network. He said watching the Food Network is okay when you're full, but like porn when you're hungry. He has a follow-up punchline regarding his pants being off. Good stuff.

*20230905: Apparently he does this from time to time in his other specials, but he did it much more during this special
Instant Comments:
1a: I was enjoying the special, but I was getting sleepy and had to pause it.
1b: I started the special back at the 20 minute mark
1b: omg that's a good culmination for fruitcake: baker wiping off the counter. and that's the thing about most of Gaffigan's jokes thus far. just pure observational type humor. more clean.
1b: I found it surprising the amount of applause he got for his salad joke (magic salad); am I missing something?
1b: lol after his eating box of kudos joke they cut to a guy laughing so hard he looked over at his friend(s)
