I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Jim Gaffigan is terribly unfunny. He just tries way too hard. Andy Dick is the same way. They both just try too hard to be funny, and they're just not.

Regardless of whether you think he's funny or not I think it's pretty galling that you'd compare anyone to andy dick without having some serious dirt on their character.

Andy Dick was hilarious on Newsradio. He's a trash human being, though. Perhaps we should specify when we are comparing someone to Andy Dick the person as opposed to Andy Dick the sometimes-OK comedic actor. Jim Gaffigan does not deserve the former, as far as I know.

Oh that's fine. I still kinda have fun memories of his MTV show. It was dumber than gently caress but had a few bits of brilliance.

First time I went to Montreal I had a poutine with some sort of fancy-rear end cheese and truffles and stuff on it and it was amazing but I felt like it was also sorta missing the point of poutine.

Yeah that’s exactly what I was trying to get at. Most places outside of Canada that have tried their hand at poutine just totally miss the point, almost like they’re trying to create something they’ve only heard of but never actually had for comparison. My local Price Chopper has been carrying white cheddar curds for a while so every now and again I just whip up a batch at home when I get a craving.

maybe we should specify when we're talking about comedians' personal lives instead, because that's what nobody gives a poo poo about

Jim Gaffigan is basically the white Gabriel Iglesias, in that they had one decent Comedy Central special, and then basically spent the rest of their careers doing the same joke over and over again. I don't really like Jim Gaffigan much these days, but he was arguably good before.

He forces his family (including young children under 10 years old) to dance on stage before his road shows.

Dude brings his family on tour with him, and probably has them on the payroll as well. Doesn't seem too bad. His stupid loving whispering after a punchline is my biggest problem with him.

Eh. Forcing your kid to work in public theater should be child abuse. You don't think any of them will grow up and resent the man for it? Nevermind the showbiz culture that it opens them up to.

It also seems pretty goddamn desperate. Nobody's going to boo a 9 year old.

Lisa def wrote all of that.

Re: Gaffigan, I've noticed this past summer during the few times i took long drives with my dad and got to listen to his sirius radio, lots of commercials where the comic was pushing his appearances on catholic talk channels, despite he himself having jokes about how not even the pope wants to hear your opinions on God and Jesus.

There's some hidden subtext in that Christmas card. Namely, Lisa is a bitch who writes lovely things about her kids.

I went to a Gaffigan show maybe 6-8 months after the debut of his big special with the Hot Pockets bit in it. People brought boxes of Hot Pockets with them and waved them in the air ecstatically when he did the jokes. Later on, he signed the boxes at the after-show meet and greet.

I died that day.

Pretending it’s real, Lisa probably worded it poorly and meant they are 41 years old, not at 41 years of marriage. Even if they married at 16, that would put the 3 year old being born when lisa was 54 years old which would be exceedingly unlikely based on how ovaries work. Unless she’s making GBS threads on an adopted kid, which I guess would be just as possible.
