Jim Gaffigan: Mr. Universe - Jim Gaffigan continues to be one of the funniest comedians going. Following "Beyond the Pale" with the famed Hot Pockets riff was gonna be difficult, but Gaffigan knocks it outta the park with "Mr. Universe". Taking shots at his own physical fitness, McDonald's, Disney World and overweight whales, my wife and I were laughing from start to finish. I highly recommend watching "Beyond the Pale" before you watch this one, or at least one of the jokes won't make a lot of sense to you. Gaffigan ranks right up there with George Carlin, Bill Cosby, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Mitch Hedburg in my pantheon of great comedians. This is a 5 star comedy special and definitely worth watching.
Gabriel Iglesias: Hot and Fluffy - "Hot and Fluffy" was recommended by a coworker of mine. I had never seen Gabriel Iglesias before, so I wasn't 100% sure what to expect. Overall, Iglesias is a fairly clean comedian that loves to make fun of himself, his friends and the police. While not as funny as Jim Gaffigan, this was a fun comedy special that kept both my wife and I laughing. I'd give this one 3.5 stars and I'll commit to watching more stuff from Gabriel Iglesias.
