If You Can’t Laugh At Yourself, Laugh at Other People {Giveaway}

by

*Updated with Winner* Congratulations to reader Heidi H. (mowerman3@gmail.com)

So. About last night.

I laughed so hard my cheeks hurt and my sides ached. In the roar of the crowd, I could hear a woman laughing uncontrollably, slapping her knee and wheezing. It was me. It felt so good.

Tim Hawkins is a Christian comedian with an edge. He’s like a clean version of Larry the Cable guy. He’s quirky, off-the-wall and absolutely hilarious. He’s well-known for his YouTube song parodies (just type in his name on YouTube), but his stand-up act is my favorite.

Although, his Chick Fil A song is like a lullaby to me.

His jokes about the church, marriage and parenting are so funny because they are based on truth.

Some of my favorite lines of the night:

  • The end time is near. We know this because of the invention of the Snuggie.
  • Churches that are non-denominational are just Baptist with a cool website.
  • Thesaurus prayers- people who pray like this, “Dear God, please lead, guide, direct, show us the way”
  • What is up with people who squeeze your hand at the end of a prayer? KNOCK IT OFF. You’re freaking us out!
  • The Duggars need a hobby.
  • [On Twitter] No one gives two twits about what you tweet.
  • You know you’re a parent when you end your sentences in  LOUD ADVERBS “Come here quickly. Get over here pronto. Obey me now.”
  • Tim ended the night with a song about “if you’ve tinkled (from laughing), I’ve done my job here.” And then, he thew out DEPENDS UNDERGARMENTS to the audience!

We stood in line and had Mr. Hawkins autograph his latest DVD. It’s 2 hours of hilarity. I said, “I’m giving this one away on my blog.” He said, “What’s the name of your blog?”

“We are THAT family,” I answered.

He laughed, “we are that family, too!”

Aren’t we all??

(sorry about the blurry shot-Have you ever tried to take a photo with a comedian? They don’t stand very still!)

So. Up for grabs: An autographed copy of Tim Hawkins newest comedy DVD, “I’m No Rockstar.” It’s two hours full of videos, jokes and songs. GREAT FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT! It’s sure to make you laugh, even cry, maybe reach for the Depends!

    The only thing I have ever heard was the chikfila song. I have got to go to youtube now. I would love a dvd with someone the whole family can watch. I get tired of the raunchy comedians. I am glad you had a great time and so glad you told us about him!

    Oh we love Tim! We listen to all of his videos on YouTube. The one about the fire ant makes me grab the depends. Oh if he were a planner and not a comedian, he would throw the depends out before the first song! Chick-fillet is so funny. Any on marriage. Love the songs. Earnest take the Reel gets me every time.
    He needs to sell a million dvd’s to get the funds to bring his family for an extended 50 city west coast trip so I can follow him up hwy 101 every night with my family. :)

    I don’t know if I could pick just one thing! He’s hysterical. If I had to choose, it’d probably be 10 Things You Don’t Say to Your Wife! Good advice for any man! Thanks for hosting!

    *I heart Tim!* My favorite of his is “Kids Rock” – popular secular songs re-worded by Tim – Hilarious!! You can find it on You Tube. I also like all of his marriage and parenting advise/stories. It must have been amazing to see him live – I probably would have needed some depends by the time he was done. Thanks for the giveaway!

    We have never seen him except on YouTube but he is so funny! The Chick-fil-a song is my favorite because we LOVE Chick-fil-a and it is true that you always want what you can’t have (Like Chick-fil-a on a Sunday!). Can’t wait to see some new stuff!

    Oh, my word! He is so funny…I would love to see a whole show! Since we are, ourselves home schoolers, we love his “The Home school Family” song, although my boys know about every song he has on You Tube. Glad you had a good time!

    I love his Chick Fil A song, but the one that really made me take notice of his comedy act was his song “A Homeschool Family.” A couple of my homeschooling friends actually were the ones who “introduced” me to him.

    The only Tim Hawkins I’ve seen is on YouTube, but he is hilarious!! My 12-year-old brother spends hours on YT watching Tim LOL My favorite of his is where he shares his favorite bible verse – it always has me rolling on the floor!

    I’d not heard of him before, but I watched the YouTube video on Chick Fil A and loved it. Maybe it’s because we used to live in So. Carolina but now live in Minnesota and I REALLY MISS Chick Fil A – woe is me, there aren’t any here :(

    Love Tim Hawkins! A girl from my church went to see him last night too. She was making us laugh just be reciting his jokes. Comedic play by play is the best if you can’t actually be there. Glad yall had a great time!

    I haven’t heard of him before, but my husband is a YouTube junkie, and is always looking for something/someone new to laugh with, so I am betting he probably has heard of him! Sounds hilarious! I may have to look him up tonight, I am always in the mood for a good laugh!

    We LOVE him! So hard to choose a favorite, but we love the Fire Ant song! We joke about it with one of our best friend’s sons as well! At random times someone will start yelling Fire Ants! I’m gonna feed you to the fire ants! We love the things you don’t say to your wife too!

    Our first encounter with Tim Hawkins was an infomercial for his ‘Full Range Of Motion’ DVD. I’m pretty sure that informercial was the first and ONLY one we’ve ever watched all the way through and more than once! He is GREAT!

    He’s my FAVORITE! We got to see him last summer at a conference we were attending. I laughed so hard I was sore in the ribs for the next 3 days. My favorite is also his stand-up. Best line: “Eating a Krispy Kreme is like biting into a baby angel.” LOL!!!!!

    I love, love, love Tim Hawkins! We almost got to see him a couple months ago, but the day we found out he was coming was the day the tickets sold out (grr!). One of the funniest things he does is his “Hedge of protection” bit, or maybe the one about praying for Mcdonalds to nourish our bodies!

    Never heard of him, I wonder if it’s a coastal thing? Have you heard of Brad Stine? “Put a helmet on” is one of his tag lines, he is clean, Christian and funny. I would love to win this, we are always looking for clean laughter. :)

    His name sounds familiar, but I don’t know that I’ve ever actually seen him perform, unless he was on one of the Thou Shalt Laugh videos. His humor sounds just like the sort that we enjoy and I’d love to win this dvd. Does it come with a Depends Undergarment, just in case I need one?

    His Chick-fil-A song is pretty fun…we usually sing it on the way home from church on Sunday’s, because we pass Chick-fil-A and all too often we’ve said, “Hey! Let’s go to Chick-fil-A for lunch…oh wait, it’s Sunday. They’re closed.”

    His stuff on what not to say to your wife is good too. All around funny guy.

    Love, love, LOVE Tim Hawkins! He is absolutely hilarious. I first was introduced to him with his homeschooling parody set to the theme from the Adams Family. 😉 My favorite though – the blurb he does on what moms say. It’s SO true! I even love the Chick-Fil-A one and I have never been to one! (None in my entire state – a tragedy from what I understand.)

    We *love* Tim Hawkins! I’m so jealous that you got to go. He came to our town and my husband, due to his weirdness about purchasing things online, procrastinated too long and the show sold out. Grrr!

    We sing the Chick-Fil-A song about once a week, but we’re also extremely fond of his Super Nannie skit…”say goodbye to your brothers and sisters; let’s go meet JESUS.” Hilarious.

    We were first introduced to Tim Hawkins with “These are the Things You Don’t Say to Your Wife,” and loved him. We love to sing the corporate worship songs. Our boys (17 and 12) love to listen to him as well. I think they know all the words to “I Work at Subway.”

    Tim Hawkins makes me laugh so hard no sound comes out. : ) My best friend, Kat, let me borrow this dvd just this week, and we have thoroughly enjoyed it. That’s the understatement of the week. : )

    My favorite thing (and I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it) is when he’s running around on stage like Mick Jagger looking for his car…AND when he gets the breath knocked out of him. Oh my gosh, it is SO funny!

    I saw Tim Hawkins perform at our church last year, also!! LOVED every minute of it! He is from the same area where we live so it was funny to listen to him put a spin on things locally. So glad you got to hear him (and meet him). We have that same DVD, so please let someone else have it if my comment happens to be the random one chosen. I was just so excited to see that someone else had seen him and wanted to share my enthusiasm I guess.

    I love when he talks about homeschooling. “We have NO IDEA how our kids are doing. We don’t even know what grade they’re in. What grade is my son in? Uh…how old are you, son? Nine?…..Ninth!” My son likes when he talks about riding the Dallas DART bus, and how you couldn’t name it that in Fresno. But of course, when you’re 14, any conversation that mentions anything about intestinal gas is hysterical.

    The ChickfilA song is my favorite b/c who hasn’t experienced the disappointing realization that you can’t have ChickFilA on Sunday? It’s probably the only thing I don’t like about Sunday. Well, that and its proximity to Monday…

    Tim came to our town last year and we got to see him at a free concert. He was soooo funny. Our church made it a DATE night and we had sitters at the church for the kid. It was a great night.

    I think mine and my hubbies favorites are the Things you don’t say to your wife and Cletus take the reel. :^)

    I’ve never heard of him, but I’d love the chance! I used to enjoy watching the stand-up comedians on tv, but most of them use too many adult situations for me to watch when my kids are awake. Love the idea that this guy is really funny AND family-friendly!
