Yeah I find him calling everything Gay funny. Not cause I think it’s edgy, I think it’s because I find it so clearly ridiculous in an ironic way. Feels like OP is more offended by it to see it as irony

[@joewarhammer]

Yeah ngl I was enjoying the video until the loui ck part and that part at the end like when ur making a comedy video you shouldn’t suddenly pause and get all somber just to pick up the funny man voice again in 15 seconds he’s doing exactly what he criticized the other comedians of. I agree with the other guy I think he’s just offended and trying to make a critical point based off all that. Everything he said before was right and him calling stuff gay only supports that it’s not lazy that’s his personal. Like you said it feel like your talking to a broski at a bar but guess what that’s how broskis at bars talk.

[@zakhunt]

The thing I love about Shane's performance style is that he constantly seems like he's checking in with the audience to make sure they are having as much fun as he is, and he'll actually comment on it in the moment. It's so different than most comedians who just power through whatever prepared stuff they have. Shane comes off feeling more like a buddy you're hanging out with who wants to make sure you're laughing just as hard as he is, and that's super endearing.

I watched his SNL monologue live with a handful of people that had never seen him. A took them a second to get him, but they were cracking up, especially at his borderline awkward interactions with the audience

[@jotun1022]

Totally agree, he really connects with the audience. Joe List is another guy that excels at doing this, he has jokes that don’t really hit even in his specials, but he calls out the silence and gets the laugh and it makes the bit even better when he gets a little fake frustrated.

[@TatumBorealis]

It gives him a warmness that is so endearing! Especially when it's in stark contrast to most ever other comic that wants to play 'cool' to keep their _authority_ as a person deserving of the mic and stage.

Exactly, the objective is to get a laugh. And when you can tell someone is trying it ruins the magic. I’d say the closest comedian to Gillis is bill burr, both on and off the stage he feels like the same guy. And what’s so fun about it is the improv feel that they give off.

It’s really unfortunate that you don’t want to talk about Louis. I can understand why you feel that way towards him, and I’m sure you’ve actually read what happened, but I genuinely find his apology to be honest.

well put together video, but the stance on louis ck is a weird one. he got busted being slightly more awkward than being busted by your mum for cranking one out, and dabbling in dissecting comedy while moral grandstanding over this shit is a cognitive dissonance that kind of undermines everything else you say - if that's what you're walking away with over the louis 'scandal', then it's fair to assume your critical eye may not be operating to spec.

[@liferadous]

Lol at someone who never learned the actual facts of the situation talking about someone else's lack of a critical eye. No, he wasn't just awkward. He didn't just have a weird kink. He didn't always ask permission. He was a predator who only got away with his behavior because he was powerful. If you or I or a fucking Mickey D's manager 'asked' a subordinate to watch him jerk off (as Louie did on-set at the Chris Rock show) he'd be fucking fired and it'd be in the paper and no one would feel sorry for him. If you started jerking it to a woman you just met over the phone (no, she wasn't asked) you might get arrested. Talk after you've read or watched something about it from journalists instead of just the man you are blindly hero-worshipping and his friends and fans.

Both of them said no actual threat was ever made. The Chris rock show employee was anonymous, she also gave consent. Never said she was threatened. Women who said that he asked them and they said no… or said “you have a daughter and a wife! No im Not ok with you jerking off in front of me!” There not even an allegation of there being any consequences for saying no. One told the producers Cortney cox and “Dewey Riley” about what happened Who were rightfully on her side …. Why don’t you tell me how that one played out since you are so well read on the subject. I know the article you basing your argument off and you even got that wrong. Read more that one article before you tell people they need to look deeper. I understand that being a person with the stature and power of Louis ck Should not even request that kind of thing from someone working below him on the same production.

I imagine it’s hard to catch next to tons of people laughing uncontrollably. Thanks again

Hi shane, can't wait til you talk about this on MSSP :)

[@downtempos]

you nailed what i couldn't put a finger on why i love santino and theo on podcasts but can't sit through their stand up. nice video good work

[@dbrodribb]

I enjoy how you articulate and gove shape to ideas that floatnhalf-formed through my head. The specificity helps so much I also appreciate you taking the time to make quality stuff instead of flooding timeline!

[@sircliffordmalcolmjac5870]

I love shane and i LOVE norm!! When you put him up, i never really thought about how much they do have in common writing and delivery-wise!!😁😁🤘🤘 Also, scott bakula would never give andrew shultz a standing o!! NEVER!! And you got a four lions clip?? And a gosling mug!!?? New favorite channel of all time!!😁😁💪💪

[@finnthewastebin1503]

norm said "that's funny, right?" a lot. he reminds me of norm, my favorite comedian. i think he's going to get to norms level.

[@DVNGXR]

He's definitely influenced by norm to some extent. He also does that thing norm did where he pretends to be a really simple dumb guy when he's secretly much more intelligent. I also love that norm reached out when he was being canceled and fired from snl with a private heartfelt message of support and encouragement.

Gillis is great at whathe does. Hope he continues to gain even more skill to complement his extrodinary talent

[@ThePokerStreets916]

That's a lot of words to say he's a average funny dude that found his niche in being relatable to his audience by being himself. Which is why hes the fuckn man!

[@forthehomies7043]

I saw Gillis at the Comedy Cellar in NY in 2021 and I knew he was different. Just a few years later he's on top of the industry.

Louis CK is absolutely one of the greatest comedians of all time

[@liferadous]

So was Bill Cosby, incredibly skilled and influential, but you don't see people replaying his shit all the time, because they don't wanna look at his stupid face after what he's done. (And no, what Louie did isn't as bad as Cosby. Most shitty things people do aren't as bad as Cosby. That does not make it okay or no big deal.)

[@johnnythreeper3044]

Gillis, Norman, Soder, Oakerson, and Von are leaders and pioneers in a new era of comedy: bro comedy. They make everyone feel like they're one of the bros just hanging out. It's quite literally inclusive comedy. What a time we're in.

[@Arbbym9er]

Louis talking down to hecklers is hilarious, idk what you're going on about here. He's the GOAT.

[@jamesarens2805]

This is one of the best comedy analysis videos I’ve seen in a while. I’ve definitely been turned off by stand off since the death of King Norm. Feels like stand up has been a horrifying jumble of simply unfunny people, self-congratulatory douchebags, and pseudo-intellectuals who think they can revolutionize the concept. Shane is certainly a breath of fresh air and this video does a great job of explaining his comedy. Really hope he does another Netflix special.

[@garyphisher7375]

Louis asked grown women if they would consent to him having a shuffle - the adult women, who had already agreed to go back to Louis' room, all said yes. The adult women hoped this would advance their career - something Louis never said or implied. Since Louis was known for doing this since the turn of the century, when he had very, very little 'Star Power' it would be unfair to suggest Louis was abusing his position. He is simply an adult man who had a kink, who always asked for consent - and only asked adult women.

[@liferadous]

This just isn't true. Only two women agreed to meet him in his hotel room, together, believing it was for professional purposes. Two women were approached at their workplaces, where he was powerful. (If you go to your subordinate at work and ask if you can jack off in front of them, you will be fired, with good reason.) One got ambushed over the phone. Those are just the five originally brought up in the New York Times expose. NONE said they agreed because they thought it was a quid pro quo for their careers. More have come out since and shared in the documentary. You are repeating LIES manufactured as part of an expensive PR firm's spin package for a millionaire who does not care about you. You're unjustly slandering these women who got violated by their hero and spent years being too scared to say anything. I used to like Louie, too. I changed my mind based on new evidence. Are you a person who pays attention to facts and evidence? Because you're not acting like one right now.

[@garyphisher7375]

@@liferadous Violated by their hero - there you go comparing women to children. He asked - they consented. If women want equality, then they should live by the same rules as men. Not a single man would complain if a woman asked if she could rub one out in front of them. Stop taking away their agency. Stop treating them like infants.

My nephew introduced me to Shanes comedy last year, and I am such a fan now! He's talented and seems like a genuine guy.

[@Zug14]

lmao imagine saying Louie "abused" women with a straight face. He asked if he could wack it in front of them and they all said yes, and then took the opportunity to play the victim or get a payday. That's why it's funny in his bits. When he says, 'make sure you say, ARE YOU SURE'. To call that abuse is clown tier to the max.

[@carefreeme8202]

I always thought it was abuse of his power over much less known comedians than him. That they might have thought he wouldn't keep booking them if they didn't let him do it. But yeah, its wasnt NEARLY as bad as the media made it sound. He never physically made them sit there and watch. Weird? Yeah, but its not like he is Cosby. Or maybe he never did those things and he set it all up because he was sick of the mega fame???

[@AvastarBin]

It's definitely abuse of power and I understand that the victims feel used. However I don't think that was intentional on his part, he just enjoy people watching, he asked and I don't think he thought about it too much

[@SneakyG59]

@@AvastarBin just because it has the word "abuse" in it, doesn't mean being an abuser and abusing your power are remotely similar. An abuser always has a victim, someone who is abusing their power does not always have victims, and in most cases isn't even hurting or involving another party.

[@AvastarBin]

@@SneakyG59 I'm confused at your comment and what you're trying to achieve here. Someone that's abusing his power over someone else definitely HAS victims : the ones that he has power over. And knowingly or not, Louis ck abused his power over some people and those people were victims of his abuse.

Mate... I'm so glad you brought it up, I love Santino's energy and timing during bad friends and I was left speechless when I watched his last half an hour special... painfully unfunny I couldn't believe it was the same guy

[@SneakyG59]

santino is one of those dudes that i consider funny but would NEVER watch anything recorded or "material" from them. There's a few others that fall into the same category. It's really not even a slight towards him, i mean it in the best way. Being spur of the moment/off the cuff type funny is great, situational humor and just having the wit to be funny in conversation and on the spot. He cracks me up on Bad Friends, but yeh, not a "prepared material" guy.

[@Psyonyxe]

​@@SneakyG59 It's kinda like Rogan for me. I fuck with him on his podcast but his standup just isn't it for me.

[@jdixon390]

Quality over quantity ❤

[@richardshalla]

Shane is undeniably funny. His stand up, his podcasts, his youtube skits and his tv show. His "that's gay" catch phrase, though it is politically incorrect and harsh on a minority, his crowds are mainly men and they have all grown up with that word scaring them and threatening their status in their peer groups. it is loaded with discomfort, and discomfort is where comedians play.

[@gzenko3408]

King Louie went through the wringer and paid his dues, he's still a genius comic and we all need to respect that and move on
