Timing is everything, and Gafigan has great timing. Of course, having 5 kids in such quick succession helps the comedy write itself. I especially like Gafigan when he inserts just the right comment in a scene at just the right time. His ability to do so is what makes this episode so much fun because the themes of the scenes would otherwise be played. Impressive guest stars too.
