Jim Gaffigan...then some missing links?



"Jim Gaffigan vs. Offended Christian". Posted 10 February 2008. YouTube video, accessed 31 March 2009. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKWnH-3v0pk&feature=related

Jim Gaffigan is well known for his commentary on the everyday, such as his now famous bit on Hot Pockets. However, that type of comedy aside, Gaffigan is also known for his routines on religion, specifically Catholicism (as he was born and raised). In some routines he comments on the ridiculousness of Christian holiday traditions, as well as how the Pope is the "Catholic superhero." In this audio clip, however, he is not doing standup; rather, he is a guest on a radio show. After apparently making some brazen remarks about religion, an angered Christian woman calls in to confront him. Gaffigan relays some incredibly offensive retorts, all based on the topic of religion. He also raises the question of whether or not God has a sense of humor--an interesting concept, especially when viewed in the context of comedy.


Also, SIDE NOTE: These links didn't show up in some other posts...
