Comedian Jim Gaffigan has four kids, all of whom were born at home (fun fact: Jim and Jeannie Gaffigan's midwife is Cara Muhlhahn, who was my midwife with Jackson). In his new special, Mr. Universe, Jim kicks off the jokes with an epic riff on home birth before moving into the topic of bedsharing, and there's even a breastfeeding reference! Taro and I were laughing so hard in recognition we couldn't breathe. Watch the entire (absolutely hilarious) special on Netflix instant streaming or on the official Mr. Universe site. Here's a taste from Gaffigan's recent appearance on David Letterman:
I thought I sent you this link when it first came out. Ooops!! It is hilarious!!
ReplyDeletelove him to death...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! My hubby & I love Jim Gaffigan but I hadn't heard of this. I think we have our post-bedtime weekend "movie" picked out now :-)
ReplyDeleteWe are big Jim Gaffigan fans and saw him last summer. Of course the homebirth thing (and that he's from Northwest Indiana) makes us like him even more!

My husband and I watched this recently, too, and we were dying. So much humor in the truths of parenting!! Great recommendation for your readers!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't have come across this blog post at a better time last Tuesday. I was in early labor with my fourth baby when I clicked on your page for some distraction. I LOVE Jim Gaffigan and I streamed the video on Netflix right then. I thought I was going to laugh my baby out! Totally hilarious!
ReplyDeleteYes!! My husband and I were dying from laughter when we watched this on Netflix a while back! I think it's so great!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've seen or heard of this clip! I laughed so hard too. Oh my goodness. Everything was so hilarious. I also had a home birth, breastfeed, co-sleep, and baby wear. What an odd group of people we are ;) Thank you so much for sharing this excellent bit of humor.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, he is so funny!! We love him!
