Part 16/17:
Gaffigan riffs on the strange products in liquor stores, like Fireball—labeled as “liquid regret”—and the odd suggestions employees make. His jokes extend to “suggested pairings,” and mockingly compares wine tastings, with an amusing disdain for “sier,” the French term for wine expert. He humorously criticizes the pretentiousness of wine advisors, imagining them as condescending “wine daddies.”
The Self-Destructive Nature of Alcohol Culture
He touches on how alcohol consumption spikes at airports—especially in airport bars—and on planes, where spirits are served shamelessly. The “airplane bottle” becomes a symbol of miniature rebellion and humor, likening it to a “litter” from a tiny giant.
