Jim Gaffigan Is at It Again!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 09:00:00 -0700

This time, he takes on our dubious need for bottled water, how the French are to blame for everything, and the versatility of the major ingredients of Mexican food: tortillas, cheese, meat and/or vegetables. This man cracks me up every time.

Jim Gaffigan on The Food Network

GiggleSugar — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Jim Gaffigan is obsessed with food - mostly food that's bad for you but yummy, like Hot Pockets. Here, he talks about how if you don't have food, The Food Network is a nice alternative. Then when you can't take it anymore, you can get your crack and your burgers.

Jim Gaffigan: A Director's Worst Nightmare

GiggleSugar — Mon, 26 May 2008 03:00:00 -0700

It's no secret that I love me a hearty helping of Jim Gaffigan (with a little Hot Pocket on the side) every now and then. The dude is downright hilarious. But I bet the director of this Saturn commercial thought otherwise after trying to get Jimmy to follow the script -he just wouldn't, couldn't, and as far as I'm concerned, shouldn't keep his lines. The man is damn funny off the cuff.

When stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan gets to joking about food, he's effing unstoppable. (Hot Pockets ring a bell for anyone?) So here he is on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien, telling us a thing or two (or more) about...wait for it, wait for it...BACON!

As anyone who's seen Jim Gaffigan's bit on the quasi-food Hot Pockets knows: When Jim talks about the crap he eats, he's freaking hilarious. Here, he discusses his unorthodox vegetarianism and why The Food Network is like porn. I. Love. Jim.

Jim Gaffigan Talks About Cake

Jim Gaffigan loves to talk about food. If you thought his "Hot Pockets" routine was classic, wait until you hear him go on and on about cakes, pies, and muffins ("bald cupcakes.")

I love this dude. He's a master at reminding us how everyday stuff is truly weird--like microwaveable Hot Pockets. (I'm laughing, but I disagree with him--I love me some Hot Pockets!!)

Jim Gaffigan On Parenthood

GiggleSugar — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 01:00:00 -0700

Jim Gaffigan takes on pregnancy, home birthing, and why it's important that his pregnant wife move cinder blocks. (I love those voices he does of what he thinks some audience members are thinking during his act: "He's weird...!")

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: Phil

GiggleSugar — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 15:30:54 -0700

I think it's safe to say that Phil is a great commenter across the Sugar network--not just on GiggleSugar. Because of his cute, well-thought out, and often funny comments, we thought we'd be remiss not to give him a shout-out! We love ya, Phil. Keep on truckin'!

GS: What’s your motto?
Phil: Lately it's been "Google it!" It's become an acceptable answer for so many questions that would otherwise go unanswered. What year was The Yellow Wallpaper published? Google it! Who is the Greatest Living American? Google it!

GS: Where are you from?
Phil: Phil: Sacramende, California and I love it! It's pretty heavily polluted. Without that pollution, however, we wouldn't be able to see such a beautiful cityscape sunset when driving from Vallejo on I80.

GS: What do you do?
Phil: I work at a Northern California based staffing firm. I'm also working to get a BA in some major that hopefully won't leave me woefully relating to a musical number from Avenue Q.

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor?
Phil: I love the self deprecating humor. The kind of humor that is a staple of any good Woody Allen comedy. The visual humor of Peter Sellars is also an act that's never failed to make me laugh. The awkwardness that Lionel Mandrake in Dr. Strangelove exuded as he was locked in the room with the batty General Ripper can never be topped!

GS: What’s your favorite GiggleSugar post?
Phil: Mocha the broccoli eating hamster! Of course! Whenever I need a good pick-me-up or just want to smile, I always look for Mocha. A close second would be the article on the Peacock family's unfortunate decision in naming their child. I read the name a few times at first, not understanding why that was funny. Then it finally clicked and at that moment, my laughter would be unsuppressable.

GS: Who’s the cutest funny man and funny woman?
Phil: Cutest funny man: Jim Carrey (right around the time he did The Truman Show).
Cutest funny woman: Wendy Liebman (especially when she was on "Dr. Katz." Squiggly vision = hot!)

GS: Who are your favorite male and female comedians?
Phil: Jim Gaffigan and Ellen DeGeneres. "Beyond the Pale"? Best stand up DVD ever!

GS: What’s your favorite comedy of all time?
Phil: Annie Hall. Alvy Singer could very well be my father, if Alvy Singer were Filipino. Then again, I doubt Alvy Singer would actually make it the distance of child bearing.

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be?
Phil: It would probably be like a quick segment in Coffee & Cigarettes. I'll be sitting in the patio area at Naked Lounge in downtown, making dry, slightly disdainful observations about the bums at the park across the street. Or, possibly something exactly like Splick Featherstone in My Life's in Turnaround.

GS: Do you look like someone famous?
Phil: I've been told I look like Sean Lennon when I wear my hair down and the photogrey is kicked in on my glasses. Eh.

Phil Free for all: I've recently found that it can be pretty demoralizing when you egosurf and come up with absolutely nothing! Come on! It's ironic that my favorite saying, "Google it," doesn't work on me. I hope I used the word "ironic" correctly. I think I obliterated my understanding of the word in the 90's when "Jagged Little Pill" came out. *sigh*
