Last night, I had one of the geekiest nights in a long time. It started out with seeing Jim Gaffigan live at the Berklee Performance Center with the roommate (with tickets that we bought back in March!). Then I met up with some friends to see Jonathan Coulton at the Paradise (if you haven’t heard his “Re: Your Brains”, give it a listen right now) with what may have been the highest concentration of geeks in one place that I’ve ever seen. Then I met back up with the roommate to see a midnight showing of the influential Metropolis, complete with a live band, at the Coolidge Theatre.

But throughout the concert and the movie, all I could think of was Hot Pockets. If you’re already a fan of Jim Gaffigan, you know why. If you’ve never heard of him though, watch the clips below and you’ll understand why he’s such a great comic. The Hot Pockets bit is one of his most famous (along with an amazing set about bacon… “God, how can he have so many jokes about bacon?!”). In fact, many of his best bits are about food, so what’s not to love?

Oh, and representatives from Hot Pockets were actually there, handing out coupons and pens outside the venue. The best part? The pens play the Hot Pockets jingle when you press a button! The roommate and I both got them and have left them around the apartment to play with whenever the spirit takes us…
