Comedy = tragedy + time

Glad your wife is doing well. My wife had a tumor near the brain removed about five years ago, doing great, and has since had a brain tumor dealt with (gamma knife radiation) and doing great with that as well aside from hearing loss on one side. Nothing cancerous, so good news there. Prior to any of that, she had a hysterectomy. We knew I'd be on my own with the kids for X number of days. The night before surgery, our son, who was 2 at the time, was pestering our 4 year old daughter, threatening to drop a small toy in a place where it would have been absolutely hopeless for me to ever recover it. He's holding the toy over the precipice with this incredibly serious and determined look on his little face, and I was a hostage negotiator. But at a moment when I needed to be firm and unwavering, the look on his face made me laugh, and the whole moment just fell apart. I had to leave the family room because I was laughing too hard. My wife looks up at me and says "They are gonna eat you alive."

🥘 Casseroles = love

😂..from all the casseroles...(💝 sorry for your situation though 😔)

@@bacsigabe29 what kind are there?

and clearly good enough to still help him write

Max Pankau: Oh, that's tho thweet of you!

Laughter is how comedians deal with pain. Writing probably helped him get through the whole thing

@@lucky5th2 laughing has always been my reaction also no idea why. In the Corp, jail bad gf fight I always just laughed when I thought it was all over and after years of reflection I’m sure it’s my cynical mind thinking.. “figures”..

He makes the best outta worse. If I'm at work. An something makes me even close to mad. I pop this on

As someone whos had 3, I say humor is the KEY to getting thru a tumor diagnosis. Love that they are so open with it.

Nah, David Sedaris did it earlier

Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop

Hahaha very witty! I see what you did there!

You can win an argument with her. You're just smart enough to know there is no point in winning. I know. I'm divorced. Will never see her naked again. But hey. I won!!

Lmao

Everyone has their cross to bare! (being allergic to bee stings isn't so bad cos the bee population has been dwindling, and that sucks, cos I like honey! oh yeah...and they're helpful for human survival, but HONEY. COME ON!)

sure you can, but the jail time for murder by peanutbutter isn't worth the win.

thought the same 2000 negatives? why? hes great

Wut? Wtf is the relation?

Maybe they meant visually? He's got a big forhead and broad jaw.

I’m sorry, I’ll pray for your Mom and you and your Dad.

My condolences. Thanks for sharing comments about something so personal and difficult. My best to you and yours.

♡

Sorry for your loss. Keep her memory alive in your heart and remember everything that she taught you.

I am sorry for your lost...I lost my mom about 3 years ago...and yes laughter is the best medicine...always something funny to remember

😂

You’re killing me. To soon?

🙏🙏🙏 My wife died of COPD on Christmas Eve of 2015. Her mother died of COPD in 2005. And my mother died of COPD in 2010. My wife was diagnosed terminal in 2011 right after my Mom died & they told her she had 2-6 years. 2 if she didn't quit smoking & maybe 6 if she did quit. Well she didn't quit & lived 5 years. She sure showed them, huh? No but seriously, if you can quit smoking do it for the people that love you. Cuz I miss my wife so damn much that I feel pitiful! I'm 55 years old now but. I was 48 when she passed away & I haven't had an intimate relationship since then. I haven't even wanted a woman. Don't get me wrong sometimes I see a lady wearing spandex & if she has one of those heart shaped asses I can't help but look & go damn. But that is about as far as I go. If I were to meet someone special I think I would move on but that hasn't happened & I'm not going to make a big effort to try to find someone.

She's doing good right?

I prayed for her.

​@@kennethdeanmiller7324what is COPD

My Netflix playlist is all his specials. Sometimes I just need a break from everything.

When I'm having a day he always makes my day everyday

:)

yep, with out his wife and kids he has no material. Also unhealthy food, without that, he's got nothing.

It's a good thing or those 5 kids would be up for adoption.

It is also a good thing she survived , you know, to live, not just as caretaker of children and a man

She takes credit for his work? She WRITES his jokes. He was not successful until he married her. Typical male taking credit for the work he didn't do. He's nothing without his wife!

Jim Gaffigan started comedy and acting in the 90s. He was in hundreds of commercials and several tv shows in the 90s. He had been on stage hundreds of times and had two comedy albums by the time he met his future wife in 2000. His comedy was identical to the way it is now other than some cussing. He was on his way up long before he met his wife. She undoubtedly helped him but he was far from nothing when they met.

He has very good material out there.

He is my favorite comedian. Bill Burr is a close second, and his humor is completely different from Jim's.

smyffmawzz isn’t he great? He usually does a tour to Europe.....every year. Brilliant!

I concur, I've heard of Jim for years but only recently have I given him a shot and now I can't stop watching this bloke 😆 I'm a fellow Brit too btw 😉

Gearhead 6971 Read your comment just as he was saying it. 😂

@@medusagorgon8432 S A M E ! 😂

It was such a tiny joke but it hit like a bolt of lightning. I was dying in my chair after that.

And probably the best, at the same time.

It was the only impression of a grapefruit ever!

I’m a retired nurse, and I was exposed to hospital food nearly every day for over 4 decades. Jim is correct when he compares hospital food to Shawshank Redemption level fare. Our hospital cafeteria featured mystery mounds more than once a week. They’d serve up a chicken dish on Monday and kept serving the leftovers all week till Friday, though by then the entree was re-labeled tuna casserole because of the evolving color and smell. I don’t miss those meals!🤢

Hilariously enough she co-writes his stand up with him so she literally is

@@davidjames-cameron617 Oh shut up, he was writing for years before he met her, stop trying to be a white knight.

@@jhonnyappleseed1786 ...what? Dude I watched an interview where he said explicity his wife co-writes some of his stand up with him and she also helped him write a few episodes on his show...I was never taking credit from him. Take a little time off the internet cuz clearly its making you over sensitive to some ridiculous stuff man

Love your comment. Says so much with so few words. Excellent!

Jhonny Appleseed you’re hysterical and over-sensitive.

I lost it on that joke too! The sad thing is I can relate. My wife has a brain tumor but the doctors won't operate because the odds of her not surviving the surgery are too high.

@@e.b.1728 I'm so sorry. I will pray for your wife and for you.

Thank you SoulWolf. God bless and keep you!

@@e.b.1728 can I ask what happened?

@@e.b.1728 just saw this. thinking of you and hoping she is still ok

I know right, when I was far younger - being dirty/crude was so hilarious to me but not really any more so Gaffigan is my favorite comedian due to this.

Most important thing is that a comedian is funny. If a dirty joke is funny let them tell it. What is not funny is when (bad) comedians think being dirty and filling up every sentence with swear words is funny on its own.

@@einundsiebenziger5488 Also, just general rudeness and the "angry old man/woman" schtick just are not funny.

Brian Regan

Jonathan Winters, Jerry Seinfeld, and Bill Cosby before we knew he was intensely flawed as a human being - ALL were masters of observational comedy. They were all creative and clever enough that the profanity would have ruined it.

Jim Walton wow.

do they just leave people cut open in the OR?

Imagine being a Resident doing surgery and it's the first time you had to leave a patient open, out cold on the table... To get lunch...

GOTEN 3030150 fff

A real comedian.

Jim is refreshing and fun instead of the pop culture and tired Trump hating.

Him and Brian regan

That would be funnier

I was waiting forever for that part you bastard😂

Connor Katana shoulda went with a ......hot pocket.

@@brandonbrown1984 *hawwwt pawwwkket*

That is good material right there.

He became my favorite comedian when I first say him in 2011 and remains so to this day. I had never heard of him before that but his appearance has changed so drastically that I might have seen him earlier but never connected the dots. He's more handsome with the weight and beards.

Your screen name is awesome 👍😎

This man has been doing standup for 30 years and he just keeps getting older.

*who is still alive

@@xpirate16 sadly too true

Bananas aren't a bird, but they are a state of mind.

Um, even people with stroke damage whose language is scrambled by it still know full well the words they say aren’t the ones they want, so you shouldn’t second guess yourself so much. Unless you start hallucinating then please, PLEASE second guess and get to the hospital.

Pfffff, you should always be skeptical of your own thinking regardless of a brain surgery.

I'm bipolar diagnosed a little over a year ago by a doctor in like 2 minutes. The hardest part is not knowing if I'm excited about something/into it or manic and just think I can do anything. Other times it feels like I'm so depressed it's hard to get out of bed and/or I hate everything. And my parents are extremely skeptical of anything I say now too so it's completely up to me to know whether or not something I'm thinking is true. I'm doing better every day but those first few months were a bitch and a half. You learn your tendencies and symptoms and triggers and whatnot, but to me mental health is much scarier than physical like surgery. At least after the surgery you pretty much know if they were successful or not. Glad his wife is okay though, modern medicine is a blessing.

Jackson Berger When you lose sleep because you're excited, you still feel the fatigue.. with mania, lack of sleep is more like fuel. The bigger picture is how you can tell. Sleep is the easiest to notice, but the impulsivity.. of various forms.. can also tell you, once you know what it looks like for you. It is possible to work it out. Even if you don't figure it out until after, that hindsight can give you more information to work with for next time.

Yep, Jim Gaffigan, and Brian Regan, both masters at being hilarious without the profanity! ;-D

Could you be more npc

Fight The Words my son is such a fan! He loves Jim gaffigan

Go fuck yourself. Stop raising kids in a bubble.

@@Liderligelort This dude is literally being aggressive because someone isn’t showing their kids something inappropriate. this is so backwards and next level creepy I can’t even take it 🤮🤣

FYI....don't look at comments till after the videos over! Lol

Jokes aside, something similar happened to me once. I slipped when I was going on a water slide and cracked the back of my head open (not seroiuos, but there was some blood), so I had to go to the hospital. At the ER they prioritized head injuries, so I got in quick enough, but as soon as the doctor had deduced that I had no concussion and that the bleeding had mostly stopped, he said "You know what, I have this workplace meeting in a couple of minutes, would you mind just sitting here for a while and I'll be back to sew that cut up later. I Shouldn't be gone more than 15-20 min", and then he just left. It was kinda funny though even in the moment and even though I was the one who needed stitches in the back of my head.

Blixthand I cracked the back of my head open......are you Humpty Dumpty? Lol

We need someone to like this. I had to like it to bring it up to 666 likes :D

Lunch half way through brain surgery. OK.

Glad you’re okay Angel, you’re a brave woman!

lol

I have a TBI that is still healing and yes, I win every argument in the home now :)

How so

No you won't. Glad you're ok

Really? His wife wrote most of his jokes?

@@bluecat6902 I thought they worked together to write it all. But I could be wrong. I love it when couples do everything together, it beats needing to be away from them to maintain the relationship. 😕

I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote the jokes, and his wife wrote all the inner thought parts critiquing them.

She provides material, but she doesn't write his jokes. Look at his earlier years of standup before he was married and his delivery and material are pretty much the same.

@@linneajordyn5275 I think you're probably right. But whatever help or inspiration she provides, it's working! I'm sure he bounces his ideas off of her before using them too. He trusts her judgement 👍

New gen, cant even quote ppl right 😂

Me too. Always thought grapefruit was a kind of berries, turn out it wa s a citrus.

@Jens Raab It wasn't until I studied German that I realized the connection between the English word "defenestrate" (to throw someone out a window) and the German word "fenster" (window). However, the etymology is Latin ("fenestra" for window).

Jenni Haase how are you doing?

I pray you're doing well and a few of us are commenting with high hopes that you reply to let us know. Hang in there and respond back if you get these notifications

@@mrlee7328 and others whom have commented, thank you for your messages. I had radiation for the 2nd brain tumor. It probably will never go away but the hope is that in time it'll stop enhancing. I've had many MRIs since, but my next MRI was supposed to be this month. It got pushed due to COVID-19. I'm still fighting. It's a crazy world we're living in now and I've been in self-quarantine since the 1st wk of March, mostly in bed. It's hard to eat. We all handle stress differently. I just have no interest in food. Still fighting. Thank you everyone who's written in. Means so much to me. Xx

Now it’s a year later. How are you doing?

@@morganschiller2288 still fighting 2nd brain tumor plus zygomatic trigeminal neuralgia from 1st. Thanks for caring ♡

Seriously, I'm like...Jim, size up on the pants dude. He looked poured into those things.

kept trying to ignore this.

Thought I was the only one. Wasn't gonna say it xD

My eyes are bleeding...........he is very funny, though.

I couldn’t stop looking! Lol I’m like is he just massive or are his balls just fucking ginormous?? Lol

@Joe Blow Thanks Joe. Someone left the same comment yesterday on Jim's channel and got 200 likes including one from Jim. Looks like I was doing it all wrong 😕

Joseph W I tend to avoid areas where I’m likely to encounter family when I’m on break. Mostly so they don’t freak out and partially because I have a limited amount of time to eat.

​@@spurrit Christ, I was simply sharing my personal experiences to explain how I can relate to this comedy bit. No need to be a Troll, Mr. Spurritt! ;-(

@@citizenbane1991 No, citizenbane. The Tumor damaged my optic nerve so much that I'm blind in my right eye. Then the stroke the tumor caused damaged the rt. half of my brain in a way that makes it so that, even though my left eye is 100%, my brain can't process the signals the eye sends my brain for things on my left periphery. So, my vision is kind of narrow... ;-(

Hey if you're reading this, I'm sorry you're in the hospital! Sending love and support. God loves us even when the love of others fails us... I'm sorry your family failed you.

I hope whatever you are/were dealing with has been resolved successfully and that you are up and about now. I'm sorry to hear that no one came to visit, but stuff like that happens occasionally. Just hang in there and it will get better.
