While there's nothing here as classic as his "Hot Pockets" segment on 'Beyond the Pale' (but the "Bowling" opening comes close) this is still an exceptional set. If you're not a fan yet, what are you waiting for? But if you didn't like his first DVD special, this will definitely not change your mind. I really enjoy that this special is all new jokes - no rehashed ones from the previous DVD - and Gafffigan may not expand what has made him a hilarious comedian, he's mastered his art of laziness, eating and the "audience member" voice.

Bonus features are much better than last time. "Pale Force" is a hilariously dumb cartoon of Gaffign with Conan O'Brien. Some of the interviews are actually interesting to watch (when Gaffigan is actually telling the truth), meanwhile the "Our Massive Planet" segment is amazingly dull and I have no idea why it's here (Jim talks about animals. Hilarious I guess just because it comes from left field) but, you don't have to watch these features.

I really, truly enjoy both stand up specials equal amounts. However I believe that "Beyond the Pale" has more classic dialogue, but this is still a phenomenal set that I can watch over and over again.

9.0/10 "OUTSTANDING"

5/5 Funniest comedian ever!
  by Cecilia (Indianapolis, IN)
Jim Gaffigan is one of my favorite all time comedians. This is his best work yet. Destined to become a classic. Highly recommend.

5/5 Very Funny!
  by L. James (Cuyahoga Falls, OH United States)
Jim Gaffigan again doesn't disappoint. This had me laughing the whole time, plus it has many bonus features.

5/5 My boys sucks but this is hilarious
  by Julie Price (hb ca)
I was really bored one day ,flipping through the channels and i saw King Baby,so i watched and about one second later i was ready to turn it,because it had someone associated with the show my boys,but after 2 seconds of hearing his camping bit I was a fan.He notices american stupidty and makes a carrer out of it. I hope there is more specials to come if they give Patton oswalt like 5, jim should get one million.

5/5 Stand Up And Be Counted
  by Mark Eremite (Seoul, South Korea)
A few years ago, I had on my iPod a few comedy routines that I absolutely loved and would listen to over and over again. Recently I went on a quest to see if I could find any more albums that would reach the same heights. Here's what I discovered:

KING BABY by JIM GAFFIGAN
I loved his album, DOIN' MY TIME, and his delivery (Jim regularly interrupts his own stand-up in the guise of a critical audience member), and this album is no different. What impresses me is that Jim's choice of topics never changes -- his unabashed laziness and love of food -- and yet his material never grows old. Best known for his Hot Pockets! routine, this album introduces his hilarious take on Dunkin' Donuts, Waffle House, and bacon. That and a high replay factor makes this a five star album.

THE TOP PART by JOHN MULANEY
Mulaney is a warm guy on the mike, very easy-going and personable. His humor is sometimes self-deprecating (his lack of knowledge about world finance, his tendency to drink too much, his lack of sports ability) but mostly the kind of "something funny happened to me" stories that you and your friends probably talk about when you're out together. He's a funny guy, if not particularly clever. It's a four star album but without much of a replay factor. (I've taken to skipping to my favorite tracks, involving his love of Law & Order and his favorite meal of all time.)

ISOLATED INCIDENT by DANE COOK
I enjoyed Dane Cook's previous albums, but I found that they staled more with repeated listens. Much of his material isn't funny by itself; it's his erratic and energetic delivery that prompts most laughs. In this album, Dane has toned himself down quite a bit. He has chosen topics that are closer to the bone (his hunt for a good woman, the loss of his parents to cancer, the recent rash of Dane-Hating that has lit up blogs and websites since he made it big), but he always switches topics just as you think he's either a) going to really open up or b) going to tell a really funny joke. What you're left with are a bunch of bits that feel half-finished and lukewarm. Gone is the acerbic word play and spit-fire delivery. Now it's just Dane chit-chatting on stage. Just okay, at three stars, with almost no replay factor at all.

PARTY by NICK SWARDSON
Awhile back I caught Nick's act on COMEDY CENTRAL PRESENTS and loved it, but could never find anything else by the guy. I discovered and bought this album and discovered that it's pretty much the same as his Comedy Central routine, except a bit longer and a lot stupider. Nick celebrates his idiocy and mumbles his way through jokes that seemed a lot tighter when I watched him perform them on TV. Pro- and preceeded by two ridiculously dumb sketches (one of them starring David Spade), this album was the only one in the bunch that I regretted buying. Two stars.
