About this listen

In Dad is Fat, stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan, who’s best known for his legendary riffs on Hot Pockets, bacon, manatees, and McDonald's, expresses all the joys and horrors of life with five young children - everything from cousins ("celebrities for little kids") to toddlers’ communication skills ("they always sound like they have traveled by horseback for hours to deliver important news"), to the eating habits of four-year-olds ("there is no difference between a four-year-old eating a taco and throwing a taco on the floor"). Dad is Fat is sharply observed, explosively funny, and a cry for help from a man who has realized he and his wife are outnumbered in their own home.

Pretty good. A lot of it is from his comedy specials.
Still laughed though. Fun.

A good "read". That's that "Pale" fellow, isn't it

"Dad is Fat" is more of a collection of a bunch of family stories by Jim rather than just a single storyline. He clearly cares about all of his pale progeny and all of the stories were heartwarming and made me cackle. It was a great listen while on a long & boring drive by myself. #Audible1

Jim's Family is Great

Jim does a great job of normalizing parenting conundrums, guilt and mistakes all while being entertaining and totally relatable. Many laugh out loud moments.

Entertaining revelations on parenting.

Jim’s hilarious parenting stories are often painfully accurate. Can’t wait for him to write another book once his kids hit those dreaded teenager years.

Best book

loved this. I listened to it while walking the dog and was laughing out loud the entire time.

I'm sure people thought I was crazy

I would say this is more of an insider look into having kids, Jim’s experience with being a father, etc. There are some funny bits in each chapter but this isn’t just a stand up comedy type act, if that’s what you were anticipating. Overall enjoyable and a fun listen on a road trip or adventure.
