Jim Gaffigan Doesn’t Understand Winter People 

There's one thing I love about winter: no mosquitoes!

I am an immigrant from Africa who does enjoy winter immensely. I sweat at a resting heart rate so I don't like heat. Summer is for the birds. Everytime I step out my front door in summer I immediately think, "what is this?! Nigeria?!!" It's summer all year round in Nigeria. In the mornings in December- January, it might be a bit cold early mornings but once that sun comes up, we're right back into it.

As someone who has spent their entire life on the gulf coast of Texas, I can tell You without question I would rather be cold than hot. The humidity down here makes you contemplate suicide just to escape it. I can’t walk to my car without sweating. Every time it dips down just into the 50’s I thank God.

I have always loved fall and winter. I love the the change of seasons, the cooler weather, the decorations, the entertainment, the food, the holidays, and the magic & spirituality of September through December.

I love winter. The snow is beautiful.

Avid outdoorsman from MN with lots of Scandinavians everywhere. Jim is 100% correct we're all a little off those that enjoy winter activities. Makes for good times though

Lol I enjoy cold dark rainy days….people think that’s odd but I like it.

After 12 years in the military and being in the field in every weather condition, I can say I would rather be hot and sweating than shivering cold.

For 2 Reasons I Love Winter No Bugs No Heat

As a Finn who loves the winter this is hilarious.😆

Can we just agree that spring is the best season? Not too hot, not too cold, beautiful flowers, etc.

I love winter. I love snow. I love shoveling snow! I even love the cold, grey days. Of course I want to be inside where's its warm. I'm not totally crazy!

Standing in the woods by yourself when they are covered in snow is incredibly peaceful.

I am part Micronesian and when people ask me, "Why did you leave the islands where it's always hot?" And I reply, "I left Micronesia because it's always hot."

my mentality for enjoying winter is; no matter how cold it gets you can always throw on another layer in summer, you can only take off so much before you become a public nuisance

Seriously talented comedian and keeps his jokes clean too, definitely not easy to do

I don’t understand summer people. Going outside with clothes on feels like stepping into a sauna…with mosquitoes and ticks. And I feel like I have to shower every time I come inside. 🥵

I love winter because I don’t have to see other people be happy and that makes me happy

I love Winter the best of all seasons. No bugs, much less sweaty, smelly, noisy people out and about. Just beautiful clean crisp air and oh so peaceful. Crowds are a huge turnoff for me.

You NEVER see this guy coming! That's his strength. I saw him live several years ago when he had his "Hot Pocket" thing, and he SLAYED us all. He is so unassuming, but when he finds something, he will get at your gut!! 🤣🤣🤣

I don’t understand people who like the heat. Who likes being sweaty all the time?

I physically can't take heat. I sweat, it's hard to breathe, my energy levels are close to zero and I may just faint if I walk in heat. You can put on warm clothes if you're cold but what are you gonna take off when you're hot? Your skin? 😂

"hopefully she can help me put together that table"...wow, that took a sec to sink in, but when it did, BOOM!

Seven years in the tropics turned me into a winter person. At least you can dress against the cold!

Jim came to my city. It was worth it! If anyone has the chance to go see his show live go for it.

I love winter & am mentally stable. *Allegedly*

Never a single swear word and still a king of comedy. Gaffigan is a legend.

I love cold climates, but I admit a huge part of the fun is getting warm. If it wasn't for central heat, hot water, and warm clothes, it would be far less fun.

I love cross country skiing but he's not lying about turning around.

My favorite seasons in order: Spring, Fall, Winter then Summer. I love being comfortable outside. Spring and Fall are obvious favorites. I can dress properly for Winter but, the Summer heat drives me crazy.

This entire clip was hilarious 😂

"Help put together the table"...that nearly killed me.

He’s right about Swedish women. And nailed the Ikea reference.

Born & raised in the Midwest...I *LOVE* winter! 😁🌬❄

Funny guy! His lack of using no obscenities is truly refreshing! You don't have to swear to be funny.

Those of us who have Nordic ancestry, we tend to release body heat in such a way that makes cooler weather a relief for us.

That is 6 minutes straight of comedy genius without missing a beat

The cold is great. I enjoy the spring/summer some of the time too but winter/fall feel more comfortable and are easier to sleep in

I’m a Spring/ Fall gal. I literally get sun burned walking through the parking lot. So Summer AND winter are out :( I watch other people absorb the sun like it’s their super power. When I die and go to heaven I might be able to feel what all you other guys do🙏

As a Swede, I like this but be gentle to our Finn friends ;) Liked!

"This isn't Rome!" lmao

Winter gives me more energy. Fun to drive in. Less traffic.

One of my favorite comedians. His style is truly unique in a sea of copycats.

Wow Alot of winter lovers here. I guess I'm the only one who notices sweat more in the winter than In summer because of having to keep putting on and removing layers. Since everyone is listing pros for winter let me just say in the summer, the day lasts longer, more activities, the ground isn't slippery, I don't have to wait 20 min to leave my house, plenty of natural vitamin d, and any heat exhaustion can be fixed with a swim and or chilling by the AC.

I loved the Ikea joke at the end, hilarious

Oh dear! I love winter. I bundle up and walk in the cold with my dog. Not to mention how invigorating cycling into the wind is!! In the city I also find that people are a lot nicer in the colder weather.

I live in Arizona & i agree i rather it be 115 outside than 55 degrees at least we can go too the lake & make a carne asada i love that 80 degree afternoons Arizona is beautiful past 4pm 🥰

I just LOVE him!!!!

I love winter, because I love the cold. I don't really care about winter sports. Except figure skating, that sh*ts impressive!

I'm black and love the winter and cold air, but when I tell people this I get "looks" 😂 Then again I do get warm very fast and sweat a lot in the summer

Thank you! When people talk about how they love winter it’s just so odd to me. In winter, I am just trying to hang on long enough until spring. I feel like winter and below zero temperatures are barbaric and the human body shouldn’t have to go through it. It immediately makes me feel really down emotionally. Freaking horrible.

He's right. There are about 3-5 genuinely good things that people are always quick to list to defend fall and winter. They'll talk about cozy sweaters, hot cocoa, skiing... That sort of stuff. Which is all cool don't get me wrong. But compared to fucking SUMMER?? The season where we get to do 99% of the fun things that are available in life and be out in the fresh air every day and night? Like what are we even talking about here.

I mean personally my body is always just naturally releasing exorbitant amounts of body heat simply due to having genetics prone for colder environments. I can barely survive during summers; Winter is my one time of reprieve.

If Jim Gaffigan can do hilarious, intelligently silly and clean comedy so can others -- with a little effort. Love him and wish there were more like him.

I grew up in Minnesota and it's around 7 - 8 months of winter, then construction season. Winters did seem far more brutal 20+ years ago but it is still no picnic now. He hilariously mentioned several cold weather sports but there is also the dream some kids have when they are skittering down a frozen slide at recess thinking, "I think I'm going to grow up to race down a giant frozen waterslide on my back going 200 mph". That sounds fun!! Jim G. is a hoot. I just love his "confused" observations of the world.

Hes kinda right about those ancestry tests...after being told i was a quarter cherokee indian my whole life my test told me i was only .05% native american and that a woman i was raised with as my sister was actually my cousin 😳 thankfully it was after my dad died so he never knew his ex wife had a baby by 1 of his brothers...

People who live in extreme hot weathers, like me unfortunately, enjoy cold weathers immensely. I HATE the sun too :)

As woman without Nordic ancestry (however, born and raised in Sweden); I must agree that the women here are beautiful - Think Elsa Hosk & Zara Larsson for instance.

I can't imagine drinking vodka while in the sauna.

I love winter. More excuses for hot drinks. The changed season brings that fresh pretty snow. And it makes you really appreciate when spring comes. I have lived in places that the seasons don't really change. So the people there don't respect nature or the seasons. Now my issue with the cross country skiing comparison. Who said down hill skiing was fun? Put two sticks on your feet and get pushed down a mountain. Try not to die. You take me skiing I am going to by the fireplace in the lodge drinking cocoa and coffee. Thank you.

I like winter better summer makes me tired all the time and the heat gets my temper up alot faster...but winter it's nice and cold and the air feels fresher and stuff feels cleaner after rain. I like walking and doing fun things in the cold more then in the hot whether. Plus less annoying people are out in the cold which makes me feel better, I don't have to talk or acknowledge their annoying existence.

Brilliant comedy. 👍

California native, just moved to Montana...I’m all for snow now 🤣😂

Cross country skiing is prolonged torture, he's right. As for winter, though, I like the winter because you can always get warm. When its 95 degrees and humid, you can take off all your clothes and you'll still be hot. It's a no-brainer. Winter rules!

I hate heat, humidity, sweating, dehydration and mosquitoes.

I love Jim he's hella funny! He went from 0 kids to 5 in...what 60 secs?? Lol lol love his family jokes!

My roommates, A/C blasting on summer and heater blasting at winter... I thought they would like one at least...

Hot weather makes me dizzy. You can always add layers and there's no bugs.

Sauna: I forgot what July humidity feels like

My favorites are "Vodka in the sauna? Actually Finland pronounce it "saawnah"... 'cause they're wasted!" ...and "Is fun illegal here???"

"Cross country skiing is the least fun thing you can do in the snow. And that includes freezing to death!" - Joe Stapleton

😂 oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, I love him so much🤣🤣🤣

The IKEA joke at the end though 😂

The best part of the DNA test segment is that he was on an episode of Finding Your Roots on PBS

Love winter. Solitude.

I enjoy winter, because you’re not sweating your ass off, from the beginning to the end. You sweat a little, then you dial back on the work, the sweat disappears, and then you start all over again. I can work hard, but not feel like I just ran a mile.

You are so correct! I could never understand loving freezing cold weather! 😂

What people imagine summer to be: Pool parties, barbecue, park. What summer actually is (where I live, at least): crowded buses with people going to work sweating at 8 f*cking a.m. No, thank you.

Im from the black hills and i LOVE winter and fall, Fall is hunting season, and winter: Skiing,(and cross country skiing) Winter camping, Basically everything to do with winter i love! And i also love the cold! Realy funny though first time i heard this show i couldn't breath😅

After working outside in every type of weather conditions from hurricanes to blizzards, freezing rain, to 118 degrees in dry or extreme humidity, or working in attics that hit 130 degrees, or spending several 8 hour days in 156 degrees for work, I’d rather be working in the cold. Just dont be an idiot, dress accordingly. Dont cheap out on winter clothing. Buy good quality stuff and wear enough layers. Even if you were naked, 118 degrees is still going to feel like 118 degrees, but you can wear caribou clothing in -50 degrees cold and sleep outside and still be comfortable 🤷🏽‍♂️

Winter is just winter but for all those people who say they love winter don’t work outside just saying go outside for 10 hours a day five days a week and have a talk about how much you love winter

I like hot chocolate, I like snowboarding, I don’t like sweating, I hate the heat, and I love the northern lights lmao……..so yeah

Love winter and love this set.

Some people pour the vodka on the rocks which brings a whole new meaning to that phrase. lol

When someone tells me they like winter, I instantly assume everything they say is a lie

I'm not a sauna expert, but just based on logic people go into sauna naked because they're sweating a lot. Wearing a jacket in there wouldn't make sense to sweat in a jacket. That would just feel awful. Just like when you're hot, you're taking your clothes off because you want to cool off. It wouldn't make sense to put on more clothes in a hot environment. That's just common sense. As for why Jim Gaffigan doesn't understand winter people, I can't speak for everyone, and I'm not a huge fan of winter as in 0 degree either, but I would say I would much prefer having colder temperature than hotter temperature because at the very least I can put on more clothes in cold; whereas in hot summer, I can't take off anymore clothes after I'm butt ass naked already unless I start peeling my skin off.

That’s why October (fall) is my favorite time of the year, weather ranging from 40 degrees (30’s on cold mornings in late October) up to 60’s, the smell of the woods, the color of the leafs. Wish it was October all year round.

I love Jim's comedy. How do we know he doesn't like winter, it's just a comedy routine!!! The only point is to be funny!

I love him! Funny as hell.

I always loved winter until I went to Ranger school January first. Being freezing cold for two months not allowed to put warm gear on is a miserable experience But here I am years later and back into loving winter

I love saunas but definitely hate sitting next to the ever present naked, old man.

I hate winter that's why I love saunas and hot tubs. Anything that heats you up in the winter is the best part of winter. Mulled wine, fire places, good wall insulation...that's the stuff.

Who the hell drinks vodka in sauna in Finland. We drink a lot of vodka OUTSIDE sauna, we drink beer in sauna :) and skiing sucks but there is still some weird people who do it...

Wtf... Back country skiing and xc skiing while drinking vodka is literally my most absolute favorite things in my life ha ha... For decades... Highschool, college, now middle age.. night skiing through glades a bit buzzed.... If it's still squirrel season you can have a shotgun strapped to your back... Fun times.

After living in the vegas desert 🏜 for awhile.....just 100 degrees feels cool 😎 It's the 118 degree days that feels like the face of the SUN 🌞

I'm from Montana. I had all the Winter I could ever use before getting outta elementary school.

Oh my goodness he always cracks me up 😂

I love Jim Gaffigan and think he's one of the most hilarious stand-ups around. And I'm actually from the same town he grew up in in Indiana... But I don't agree with him at all, I love the seasons. It's summerfall Winterspring i-don't-care! I love them all.

Gaffigan = legend

I used to live in Montana and I love the cold, at morning. But I now live in the South and love this weather, at night.
