Daniel Tosh and Jim Gaffigan

UPDATE: 3/13/2011- Last Sunday Daniel Tosh did his special "Happy Thoughts" and caused this post to have 300 views in one week.  This happened because of his reference to Jim Gaffigan in his special by saying "HOT POCKETS!!!" I wonder why in the world he did this reference maybe because someone has told him in the past that his delivery and some tendencies he does have similiarities to Gaffigan.  Who knows but when it happened my brain went crazy and I rewinded the special five times to make sure what happened really happened.  I knew this would make people search Tosh and Gaffigan and so I went online and this post was blowing up.  I have to say though I did like the his joke about Babe Ruth in "Happy Thoughts" it was very clever.

UPDATE:  This is by far the most visited page of my site.  I think this is the case because other people notice the same thing I noticed.  That Daniel Tosh in his Completely Serious special was very familiar to Jim Gaffigan.   Please leave a comment of why you did a google search of Daniel Tosh and Jim Gaffigan so I know if other people think the same about the vidoes below.

ORIGINAL POST: I watched this comedian and for some reason his voice reminded me so much of Jim Gaffigan little funny voice that makes fun of himself that I couldn't pay attention to most of his jokes.... The whole time I was thinking he is so stealing from Jim Gaffigan so I really didn't get to pay attention to the material.. He also kinda of does his material like Jim Gaffigan. That guy is a like a Snapple ... ha ha.. A Snapple that taste like Jim Gaffigan's voice...Here is a link to buy the DVD if you liked it... Which is possible if your not a Jim Gaffigan fan..
His website...


Jim Gaffigan's comedy is always seems to be about food.. HOT POCKETS!!! To his new comedy special on Comedy Central that aired Sunday, March 29, 2009 that has like a 10 minute bit on BACON.... For me I really don't get the whole the whole pale thing.. He looks like a normal tone to me.. Maybe its a play on words I don't get..

Jim's Website

King Baby's DVD

King Baby started out perfect for me because Jim's opening bit was about how gay bowling is.. Ironically Saturday, March 28, 2009 I went bowling with my wife and her work for Big Brothers Big sisters. I found saying that is so true to everything he said. By the way Jarious Norwood the running back from the Atlanta Falcons was there making a "celebrity" appearance.. My wife took like three pictures of him barely knowing who he was.. Lucky for him she went to Miss State where he went to college and was the star of the team. .. By the way he kicked my butt at bowling along with my wife... Needless to say I really suck at bowling. Another funny thing is that a local DJ Bender from Y101's Nate and Bender Morning Show was there and she took a picture with him. This is funny to me because in May we are going to New York and I'm sure it won't take that big a celebrity to be there for her to go crazy.. However if I ran into Stephen Colbert out there I have to say I would be like the paparazzi on Brittney Spears.

Actually, when I listen to Tosh on sirus satelite I think his voice and delivery sound just like Dane Cook.

In "Happy Thoughts" he even said "Hot Pocket" in the same Jim Gaffigan voice.

i searched the 2 comics because i thought that Tosh did indeed have some Gaffigan vibes going on in the 1st special i watched. "for this next joke." is so Gaffigan.
and then the other night, he referenced him... but in no way did it seem like a diss. more like a nod perhaps??? i'm still curious....

I searched it cause it seemed pretty obvious that Tosh ripped off some of Gaffigans stuff.. With the voice, and the "I cant stab someone, I cant even work a juice box or w/e

i searched daniel tosh jim gaffigan because i noticed they were very similar actually i have a very heard time listening to tosh without thinking he ripped off gaffigan..i guess im not the only one who noticed this

HE SAYS IN THE SPECIAL AFTER HE SAYS HOT POCKETS, "I had another comic friend of mine finish that one." so no not a diss, it was a nod, they are friends

I searched it because his delivery is exactly like Jim Gaffigan's. They both start speaking in higher pitched voices while rolling on with a joke that the majority don't follow all the way through to the end. Of course Tosh has some brilliant material of his own, but I think Gaffigan was probably a huge influence on him. The Hot Pockets reference was lame on his part, he seemed like he just didn't know what to say, and that's what came out. Like when he fumbled with the water cap, he seemed pretty nervous.

I always that it was Gaffigan who finished the joke but never googled to confirm. I’m in wal mart and girlfriend wanted hot pockets and I immediately thought of the joke and finally googled to confirm

We were watching Tosh and discussing how he sounded like Jim then he said hot pocket and we lost it
