Hit: 5 Stars
Comedy CDs are an iffy recommendation. What's funny today might bore you tomorrow. Some jokes are only funny the first time. Jim Gaffigan's CD, "Doin' My Time," scores high on the replay factor. Perhaps it's his delivery (dry self-deprecation with a twist of smug). Perhaps it's his avant-garde style of humor (he spends about a quarter of the time pretending to be a critical female member of his own show, weaving "her" comments with his). Perhaps it's just his voice, which has a malleable whine to it that never gets annoying and which makes his self-mockery seem humorously authentic instead of just patronizing or pathetic.
Part of it is definitely the humor itself. Whether his jokes make bizarre 180's ("I used to smoke. Yeah. Smoking's real addictive. But you know what's REALLY addictive? Heroin."), or whether their humor lies in their dead ends; whether they take the "didja ever notice?" concept and snap it in half (his "Hot Pocket" and bottled water/Mexican food bits are a good example of this), or whether they're just plain crude, grouchy, silly and dumpy, they all stand up to repeated listenings. There are a few times where you get the impression that the joke -- such as his bit on glasses -- would work a lot better if you could see the man (and, in fact, most of them are like that; Jim is almost as much fun to watch as he is to listen to), but none of them fail to be laugh-worthy because of it. Pasty, flabby, and grumpy, though he may be, Jim Gaffigan is also a funny, funny man, and this is a funny, funny CD.
(NOTE: This product comes with a short DVD of his Comedy Central appearance, which is much cleaner than the act to be found on the CD.)
