Dannie McGuire That is particularly funny because my mom WAS taken to the hospital by ambulance for a possible heart attack, and by the time we all rushed and got to the hospital we were told that all she had was one big trapped FART! So now we call it her “fart attack”!! 😂😂
I really needed this! I literally took my family on our first camping trip with a new camper that we had just purchased. Never been camping before. My appendix ruptured the first night there. I waited 2 more days before my wife drove me to the local hospital and I had an emergency appendectomy. I was in the hospital for 5 days. The surgery was 2 weeks ago, and I have dropped about 15 lbs. I myself am a 2XL guy. While in the hospital, every employee on my floor had to come by and see me. I was a mini-celebrity as "the one who lived." After I got to a stable point, the nurses and doctors told me I had literally looked into the valley of death. I am thankful that I had such a great team of professionals to get me through. Thank you again for the much needed laugh for this 44 year old.
Indeed you were lucky to survive that for 2 days! To my knowledge, the appendix is like a chemical laboratory for the digestive system, it's got lots and lots of kinds of goodies and baddies in there that can help digest your food, but once the appendix ruptures, you're getting poisoned from the inside!
Big Jim's Floors Inc appendix bursting is so serious. You must have done something good to still be here lol. My daughters appendix leaked as a baby and scar tissue encased it and that saved her life! We didn’t discover it til she was 5. So scary. God bless!
Big Jim's Floors Inc welcome to the ruptured appendix club! Good to hear you are on the mend- best wishes for your recovery! Mine popped in ‘98, when I was living in Italy. Apparently I didn’t wail and thrash loud enough because the emergency medic that came to our apartment said it was “just gastritis”, and that I should “eat white food” for a few days to give my gut a break....then she shot me full of tranquilizers so I shut up and fell asleep. By morning, the appendix had ruptured completely and I was just bleeding internally...then came a parade of incompetent Drs ...4 Drs in 5 days! Yes, 5. All of them said the same thing...it’s nothing but some tummy troubles. (Ok, to be fair, I don’t ever run a temperature...zero fever during this trip toward sepsis!). Everything kept getting quieter and fuzzier. Zero desire for food or water. The 5th night at 2am I had a moment of clarity and realized that I needed to get to the hospital. I was rushed to surgery, ended up with peritonitis and a week of hospital, many years of recovery (I don’t think I ever fully recovered). The surgeon was astounded that I recovered so quickly- he thought I was a goner- And said that I probably wouldn’t have lived another ten hours had I not gone in! Moral of the story: listen to your gut! Interesting tidbit/brush with fame: I was operated on at the hospital in Florence Italy where Leonardo daVinci did his “anatomical studies”.
Info for anyone curious about the appendix. It’s kinda TMI but if you are watching this guy you’re not afraid of poop (i kid). I’m a medical nerd so this stuff fascinates me. The appendix is a small pouch off the intestines in between the small and large bowel. It’s true for a while nobody knew what it was for but now we have a better understanding. One thing you have to understand about digestion is how important bacteria is for us. We have a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with the bacteria that live in our gut. They break down many of our foods into molecules that we can digest allowing us to eat a wider variety of food and in return we provide them food to break down and shelter by allowing them to live in our body. There are a wide variety of types which are also important because if one type gets out of control the others will step in and kill them off. What does all this have to do with the appendix? Before the age of ovens with preset temperature settings, thermometers, refrigerators, and food preservatives, people consumed a lot of food without knowing for sure if it was safe to eat. Anyone who has experienced food poisoning knows that you can get cleaned out pretty good, the same was true for other common illnesses like dysentery. When this happened there was a risk of losing all or part of the beneficial bacteria. People either became malnourished or had to rebuild their microbiome quickly. Having a tiny pouch that held a small sample of that bacteria would have been helpful to repopulate the gut much faster( note the central location). Now, since most people rarely experience food poisoning, it’s considered unnecessary (you can also take a probiotic pill and replace it if you don’t have an appendix). Unfortunately in some people the appendix can get clogged and stretch and if left untreated burst. So yes now it’s more hassle than it’s worth but it actually does have a function. I could blab all day about medical stuff but I doubt anyone is interested. If you did read the whole thing congratulations!
I expected to lose interest halfway through but you held my interest and you not only taught me something interesting but you gave me something to bore others with. Thanks.
I don't get these people that thumbs down. This talented man is so funny and he has kept me from going absolutely nuts during these crazy times. Thank you Jim!😍
I’ve probably watched/listened to upwards up 20 hours of Jim the past few weeks while renovating my house. It’s amazing how much material this guy has come up with. Although he’s funny every time, I can tell the difference over the past 10 years as he’s honed his craft to what it is today. Thank you Jim for providing so many hours of entertainment, sometimes with over an hour of material on a single subject!
Former Alaska resident here. The reason you get pepper spray to prevent an attack is because when the bear approaches you, you spray it all over yourself and hope the bear has an aversion to spicy food.
I laughed so hard I cried at this one. Jim, you are the BEST!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for getting me through this depressing period of time. I’m home nursing an injury, the world is going nuts, and the only thing that keeps me happy is tuning in to you. Such a breath of fresh air.
My friend and I listen to you on the way to work. People already think we're idiots, but hopping out of the truck, laughing hysterically, has some of our clients doubting our level of focus.

Hey Jim, you are making life more "bearable" here in Mississippi. We really love you and your family friendly humor. I can only imagine what your family life is like. Stay healthy.

My sister has a great sense of humor - she had to have her foot amputated from diabetes. She said - its a weight loss program! She also gave me a ceramic foot for Christmas just because.
During the virus quantine, I've been watching Jim and his family on CBS Sunday Morning. I really never seen any of his stand up until now. Jim, your story telling is hilarious.
Genius - Jim literally tells us the punchline first, then the joke & it's hilarious everytime. And everything is clean! - well, except his shirt but what do you want for free entertainment! Best comedian ever.
@Outcast I kind of discovered Jim on Sirius XM radio... on a regular bucks with his stand ups ... and that’s how I became to love him! He made MANY Of my driving time with Lyft so MUCH BETTER!
I'm really impressed that he was able to go for a hike at all 12 hours after an appendectomy. the only things I could do 12 hours after my appendectomy were walk at 1/8 of a mile an hour for 30 seconds and cry when I coughed
I had chronic appendicitis for 20 YEARS. It started when I was 5. The pain would sometimes last for an hour or 2. Sometimes I'd be sick with a high fever and vomit for days. But the doctors would tell my parents I had the flu. My pain was never on just one side. 2 weeks before my wedding, when I was 24, I got sick with again. All my tests were "inconclusive" so they asked if I wanted to do exploratory surgery. YES. Do something. My poor appendix was double the size it should have been. They could tell I'd had multiple flare ups bc of all the scarring. The only reason I went to the hospital the last time is bc my fiance made me. I was so used to being brushed off. I wonder if it would have eventually killed me.
That breaks my heart. Thank God your fiancee got you to get that done! Yes, I believe it would have killed you, & I fear it's yet another shameful testimony of our system's unequal treatment of women. Your words of being "brushed off" ring all too true to me, & sadly too many women have lost their lives due to men in power making those choices to treat women inequitably. More sadly, women still are being denied needed treatments of all sorts on a wide scale, & are being hit especially hard by covid-19. I pray for change, for new leadership, & enlightenment for all to come soon. (Sorry so long, your story just really moved me)-- God bless you!
@@rushfan1970 Growing up my parents were poor. We had no insurance at first so we had to go to county clinics. They are definitely the worst when your kid has something serious, persistent or recurring. I had strep throat a lot as well. One urgent care doctor refuse to do a throat culture. He called my parents over-reactive first time parents, even though they knew exactly what it was. My fever has spiked to 105 that night and I lost consciousness. by the time I got treatment it had gone into rheumatic fever.
@@TallSilentGuy Really? It seems you would benefit from doing some research. Just like racial & economic barriers to fair and equal medical treatment, there most certainly exists a gender barrier here, as well, still in 2020. It will take a long time for everyone to become educated on the diseases of our "society", but it is coming, bit by bit, & it would be best for all to be educated before we speak. Countless female lives have been lost &/or fatally compromised by a sickeningly large majority of mazogenistic male physicians in our country. Our "system" is built on the used & abused backs of women & minorities, & it's far past time for that mindset to change. I pray you will seek enlightenment. Yes, her story was about more, but I bet if she were male, her story would have been very different. Nice that you at least read & considered it, though, so thanks for that.✌️

Jim - thank you for posting daily videos. I listen to them several days a week and they have kept me going through some challenging and stressful times. God bless you.
Jim, you make my life better just by being your funny self. I'm already subscribed, but if I weren't, I would right now. Bless you and Jeannie, and the kids. All good wishes for a great 2022! Merry Christmas.
Jim, I can always count on you to lift my spirits when I am troubled. This video had me laughing so hard I darn near peed myself! Thank you for sharing your amazing comedy here on youtube and in my car on XM, from now on I will consider you my comedian/doctor!
Jim, you’re absolutely the true pure meaning of comedy, you’re awesome and ur tricks/surprises when coming back at urself as combination of many characters is truly one of the kind.. please take care of yourself and family, God bless
Jim. Dont worry. That weight's not really lost! I will find it, lol. Seriously, you are funny. Keep up the good work. You are the best distraction during these times.
I really REALLY appreciate your "flavor" of stand up. I keep looking to find other stand ups to watch, and sometimes I do find others to watch (yes, there ARE other professional comedians), but I keep coming back to your TH-cam uploads and I'm sure I've watch several of your specials five or six times now....,. Funny every time. THANK YOU!!!
My dad just had his appendix removed last week. This just showed up in my feed. What are the odds?! I think I’ll share this with him to cheer him up while he’s recovering. Thanks, Jim. Oh, his name is Jim too!
I'm a huge fan of stand up. Ever since dad brought home Cosby records. Pryor, Carlin, Louis C.K. I love the best. I can't stop watching these clips. Just so we'll done. Keep it up.
Very funny!!!! Please keep offering your wonderful talent & humor. We need lots & lots, especially now more than ever to help save our sanity...at least for us who seem to think we're still sane.😂💕
Proverbs 17:22 “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” Good to watch. Laughing is beautiful. And healing. Thanks Dr. Jim.

His delivery when he said, " I don't think I can return to my family! Hey kids, daddy's back! Had some gas!! Took a helicopter ride, none of you wanted to go to college right?" I had literal tears running down my face I don't think I've ever laughed that hard in my entire life lol

I love listening to you & your comedy Jim!!! Keep us laughing kiddo!! You're a precious "gem" to watch & be entertained by!!
He's a creative genius with a benevolent soul. And he's hilarious. 👍
"LOL" Land Salmon!
That one got me in stitches 😂😂😂
Jim, you would have loved my family's physician for many years - Dr. Coffin. Really.
I laughed through the whole routine. This is one of his best. And all he had to do was have an appendix attack.
“Do you have a bear gun? Cause I don’t think this bear came to get his hair done” 🔥 bars 🎤
A very funny skit that was executed perfectly! Great job. Thanks for giving us all something to smile about in these challenging times!
The appendix is like a Kardashain. That is the best fucken line I have heard this year.
Thank you for your pure ❤️ humor! Your a Blessing,God Bless you
Jim - thank you for posting daily videos. I listen to them several days a week and they have kept me going through some challenging and stressful times. God bless you.
My favorite comedian, every time LMAO 😂
Thanks for making everyone smile which is so very much needed right now!
Doctor: We aren't sure WHY the appendix exists.
Gaffigan: Oh, my gosh...the appendix is like a Kardashian. Excellent.
Jim, you make my life better just by being your funny self. I'm already subscribed, but if I weren't, I would right now. Bless you and Jeannie, and the kids. All good wishes for a great 2022! Merry Christmas.
Jim, I can always count on you to lift my spirits when I am troubled. This video had me laughing so hard I darn near peed myself! Thank you for sharing your amazing comedy here on youtube and in my car on XM, from now on I will consider you my comedian/doctor!
So, he cures incontinence? Lol
Jim, you’re absolutely the true pure meaning of comedy, you’re awesome and ur tricks/surprises when coming back at urself as combination of many characters is truly one of the kind.. please take care of yourself and family, God bless
A friend of mine wrote book and then they removed his appendix. But a few days later his table of contents burst.
OUCH! U R HIi Larry Us. Keep your day job, Jim's got the funny covered.😻

When I feel the need to burst out laughing, I watch this guy. Thank you, Mr. Gaffigan.
I'm listening to this while staring at the thumbnail for "Jim Eats the World- Kansas City Barbeque" and drooling.
Jim. Dont worry. That weight's not really lost! I will find it, lol. Seriously, you are funny. Keep up the good work. You are the best distraction during these times.
I really REALLY appreciate your "flavor" of stand up. I keep looking to find other stand ups to watch, and sometimes I do find others to watch (yes, there ARE other professional comedians), but I keep coming back to your TH-cam uploads and I'm sure I've watch several of your specials five or six times now....,. Funny every time. THANK YOU!!!
My dad just had his appendix removed last week. This just showed up in my feed. What are the odds?! I think I’ll share this with him to cheer him up while he’s recovering. Thanks, Jim. Oh, his name is Jim too!
Has he met a bear yet?
OMG....I am still laughing. Just subscribed to your channel this morning.
Yay! Thank you!
I'm a huge fan of stand up. Ever since dad brought home Cosby records. Pryor, Carlin, Louis C.K. I love the best. I can't stop watching these clips. Just so we'll done. Keep it up.
Omg... this man cracks me up every time. He is hilarious..
You're awesome, Mr Gaffigan. You're helping my depression and anxiety.
Listening to the bear story again is even more hilarious knowing the ending.
Thank God for Jim Gaffigan
Thanks for the video Jim, the laughs you have me from this definitely made my day 👍
Very funny!!!! Please keep offering your wonderful talent & humor. We need lots & lots, especially now more than ever to help save our sanity...at least for us who seem to think we're still sane.😂💕
You're the best, Jim, so funny!
I think this is my favorite bit. I can listen to it over and over. So funny!
Laughed my appendix out !
Love the videos Jim!
Keeps my mind off the fact that my stimulus check still hasn’t arrived.
Proverbs 17:22
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” Good to watch. Laughing is beautiful. And healing. Thanks Dr. Jim.
Okay okay! I subscribed! I hope you're happy! Now I have to change my wet pants! THANKS A LOT!

This guy is seriously funny. And he has a lot of fresh material.
"You'll be hearing from my lawyerdoctor!"
It almost makes quarantine bareable getting all these jim gaffigan videos for free. Thanks jim!
His delivery when he said, " I don't think I can return to my family! Hey kids, daddy's back! Had some gas!! Took a helicopter ride, none of you wanted to go to college right?" I had literal tears running down my face I don't think I've ever laughed that hard in my entire life lol
