Gaffigan - did someone push the envelope? CK?

[underpants]

This how you edges things out. IMHO.

1. I love him

He's so dang funny to me, I'm sure he's not "edgy" enough for many, but his material comes from his real life and rings so true. Not sure what this has to do with CK though?

Peace

2. He's seriously the best 'clean' comic I've ever seen ...

And maybe the best comic period.

Total genius ...

3. I always put him

Patton Oswalt, and CK Louis together as comics that became popular around the same time. I guess statistically, one of them had to be a complete douchebag.

4. Patton is also great ... but my next-favorite after Gaffigan is Ron White ...

I dig his lounge-lizard schtick, and the fact that he's a Southern Liberal ... he's like the Steve Earle of comedy to me.

5. Patton's the man

I'm a little bit biased for him as he's in the role of Max (TV's Son of TV's Frank) on the rebooted MST3K, and maybe because I'm a magician, balloon twister, and children's entertainer, I love these two routines:

6. Thanks for these. I watched Happy! over Xmas

Hysterical.

8. Ron White is an amazing storyteller.

I also like that he's evolved past the original Blue Collar Comedy schtick and talks about his true interactions with the trappings of success. He's the rough southern gentleman that you want to get liquored up so he won't stop talking!

7. I hadn't seen him in a long time.

This was actually a lot surlier than I remember him (when he used to wear his glasses) but still totally on-brand and hilarious.

I think he did a set about how Mexican cuisine is only four ingredients somewhat rearranged each time you get them.
