"It's also funny that Spotify tries to foreground so many nyt/npr/demographically diverse podcasts when the top charts are always dominated by people like joe rogan, Theo von and Shane Gillis."
"Hung out with a group of people who listen to a lot of the same types of comedy that I'd imagine people on this sub and its counterparts (Tim Dillon, Shane Gillis, Mullen, etc.) listen to."
"And then on the opposite end the Shane Gillis brought back comedy type of people dropping that and 🚬 and acting as though they are brave and cutting edge."
"Hard to get through almost any specials these days but this one is … special. Genuinely funny, leans into the Trump thing that made him famous but a better hour than that first YouTube one."
"It's funny when Shane Gillis or something is on but when it's a few hacks mercilessly shitting on some aging loser it's nothing but poor taste"
"In the middle, beginning with an anecdote involving texting Shane, he broke off into these multi-nested tangents reminiscent of the chiasmus style of composition seen in Herodotus, and was able to resolve all of them so beautifully"
"All this stuff about Shane made me realize something. I cannot stand stand up comedy."
"They all murdered. Nick was like a drunk lil spider monkey compared to the all the big fellas."
""Dude, I was fucking HAMMERED Saturday at Bert's birthday party. Straight up Bud Light farts right on Bert's face. He was DONE, man" McCusker proceeds to slap couch, screaming with laughter."
"Gillis actually funny but not in a Norm way"
"Shane Gillis could experience a renaissance, a la Mitt Romney, and get Bowen Yang's job."
"Guys like Shane Gillis, Norm, most annoying fans on the internet other than like BTS fangirls. Don't get it!"
"He is like the Taylor swift of edgy male comedians, overhyped and underdelivers. I think many dudes project their fat white guy sense of humor onto him, and thus view his success as their own in a way. Except every time I see a video of him, he is awkward, meek, and you can see the gears working in "
"What a redemption arc. Comedy, being one of the few art forms that requires genuine talent, is truly uncancellable. IMO he's the best comedian right now."
"I watched the monologue. Nobody would have thought Shane was bombing if Shane himself didn't announce he was bombing out of nerves. People were laughing at the jokes. He did fine."
"This guy showed up in my thread to say Shane Gillis was smarter than anyone on this subreddit, then I clicked his profile: old-ass account, a million karma, and countless posts on shitty comedypodcast subs. These sycophantic MSSP doggy boys are bringing us all down."
"After about two hours, I kind of wanted to watch the Shane Gillis SNL episode I had taped the night before and I started to wonder if she was on her way back"
"Bowen will play 'himself' against type as a right-wing, secretly straight buffoon or something and while Shane will pretend to be a tee-total woke-scold. A modern-day odd couple with the skit leaning into the controversy of Shane's 'firing' 5 years ago.. It may even be funny."
"Like I understand I can block it and stop it from showing up but what is the end game here? Mobilize a task force of disgruntled gooners to cancel Hinchcliffe, Rogan and Gillis?"
"It's funny when Shane Gillis or something is on but when it's a few hacks mercilessly shitting on some aging loser it's nothing but poor taste"
