Jim Gaffigan: Cinco (2017) Reviews
Meh
I used to love Jim Gaffigan. I've watched all his specials and his TV series. But his whole "I'm fat and I love food" thing is getting old. I know that's his shtick, but after all his shows, it doesn't "delight" me anymore. The audience reactions seemed pretty meh in this special too, so I don't think it's just me. Sorry Jim. I'm not sure why IMDb demands 10 lines of text for submissions, so here's some more. Blah, blah, blah... Wow, still not long enough. I'd rather read short, succinct reviews myself, IMDb. This filler is just a waste of everyone's time.
"I watch a lot of cable news 'cause I enjoy being depressed."
I'll go along with a couple other reviewers who feel Jim Gaffigan is getting a bit too predictable with his routines. He's done the fat bit with riffs on eating in every one of his comedy specials and it gets a little repetitious. However if you're just catching this one as your first time you'll probably find it funny enough, and it is actually. The one thing he didn't put down this time was his aversion to exercise, so that was welcome. He did hit on winters, TV binge watching, water parks, airport security and being in charge of the remote, so those ideas get a fresh perspective. When he jokes about dying from stuff he eats though, that's somewhat unnerving, because what if he did drop dead right there on stage? That wouldn't be too funny, and with 'cinco' kids to take care of, that would be a downer. Do your wife a favor Jim (and us too), and cut out the heart attack jokes.
More Of The Same
(Flash Review) If you like Gaffigan, you'll thoroughly enjoy this. He expands on what works for him. Doesn't try anything new. But that's OK because he is super funny. Solid. Plenty of food jokes and self-deprecation and he still gets the old tummy jostling with laughter.
Pop Culture Thoughts
I can't quite put my finger on it but there seems to be something missing from Jim Gaffigan's latest special. The affable comic goes over much of his go-to topics, from his homelife to his love of food to his own low energy, but there's something dispassionate this time around. Maybe it's that his material is getting repetitive and needs to be updated, but either way this isn't as good as his other specials, which are typically consistently hilarious. Gaffigan himself is a compelling and relaxed performer, and his low-key approach is smooth and familiar, so it's still worth watching even if it's a bit on the tepid side.
Pretty much what you'd expect from Gaffigan...though a few of his jokes might offend more sensitive viewers.
This new concert film was made for Netflix and I am being shocked again and again at the incredibly high quality productions coming from this video service. As for Gaffigan, he's pretty much like he always is-- very funny and generally clean and family-friendly. Sure, he occasionally swears but his routines are strictly PG and you can let anyone watch. However, I do have a bit of a warning about this one...several of his jokes are about Jesus as well as Hitler (and, thank God they are NOT in the same jokes). I wasn't offended by these remarks but can guarantee some viewers will be put off. Hitler is NOT a good topic for comedy (unless it's in THE PRODUCERS) and Jesus is bound to offend many devoutly religious folks...though I think these jokes weren't especially tacky or mean. Just letting you know so you can think about this before watching. I had a great time listening to his routine....and you most likely will as well.
