Kyle Kinane | Shocks & Struts (Full Comedy Special)

Kyle Kinane is a wildman poet. He has been laughing at anti-vaxxers for some time… To their baseless claim that vaccines cause autism, he responds, “Fucking good… We probably need more autistic kids. They’re the ones that keep beating robots at chess.” It’s this type of serious thinking about our collective future that makes his new stand-up special Shocks & Struts perfect for our current moment.
To him, dinosaurs were “God’s little tricksters”; a laparoscopic appendectomy is a “lappy appy”; and a foreskin is “the devil’s calamari.” Using his unique parlance, the beloved comedian transforms our dull world into an emporium of the weird and wonderful.
Kyle recently bought a van - a car that fits his look of someone “who should be at home plotting to kidnap a Democratic governor” - and hit the road to “Jehovah’s Witness [his] bits around the country.” This special showcases another night of hilarity from his travels and a return to a live-action stand-up special, his first since 2018’s Netflix The Standups.
With `his gruff voice, gentle heart, and ill-fated confidence around hotel buffets, Kyle delivers an hour of keen commentary and messy adventure. He wonders at how his pillows turned that color (?!), he explains the way to make everyone in a cruise ship hot tub immediately uncomfortable, and he marvels at pilots who aren’t intimidated by the hundreds of buttons in airplane cockpits, all of which should simply be labeled “Don’t Die!” Kyle Kinane is himself a skilled pilot of comedy. In fact, he’s like a comedy blue angel: darting and diving, taking big risks and pulling off tricks, giving us something to watch that thrills us and moves us too.

I’m glad he has his specials on his channel now. Gonna rewatch them for the views and likes.

[@Randiddle]

Kyle "criminally underrated" Kinane.

[@joshk.6246]

He is definitely underrated.

[@GavinSwick]

Kyle Kinane is easily one of the best out there doing it, and has been for years. I remember being blown away at Whiskey Icarus and he hasn't let up since.

[@tomjones4835]

Amazing comedian but he’s way off on the vaccines. History will not agree with this special

[@user-bd5jg5qn9p]

The sun burn joke... i thought he was going to make it about cancer. Like scientist were wrong i never got cancer....

[@Nopeandalwaysnopeforever]

@@tomjones4835 He literally said hes a comedian and he's sharing his experience? History will show your children love Polio.

[@joshk.6246]

Whiskey Icarus was fantastic, from the name through the whole special, *chef's kiss*.

[@jonpilgrim7820]

I totally avoided this dudes comedy for years without ever having heard it. Gave it a shot a couple weeks back and feel dumb for not doing so sooner. He's smart and funny AF

[@asimeri]

Kyle is just so f'ing incredible. Every time I've ever seen him live he absolutely MURDERS. Great special

[@kuidaorekitchen5850]

Kyle's management failed this man. He is a comic genius and should be a household name in comedy. "Yeah that kid who is going to overdose at an EDM concert." Just solid, solid gold!

[@scottykonovalov4518]

Did they or did he make want he needed

[@kuidaorekitchen5850]

[@CountDuckula83]

Kyle, you have been my favorite stand up comedian for 20 years. I love your material!

[@zacdickerson1397]

Shocks & Struts and Trampoline In a Ditch are my 2 favorite specials to come out in a very long time. Glad you got them up on your own channel!

[@scottder]

Agreed, they are both bangers. I especially like the uncut version of S&S. Has some different takes of some jokes which is fun.

[@user-bd5jg5qn9p]

The sun burn joke... i thought he was going to make it about cancer. Like scientist were wrong i never got cancer.... The sad part is about trusting the science is that science isnt extact, like how many times was the speaker of health changing. When ppl knew from the begining that non3 of the precqutions were needed... as they play around in labs with theories. The worst thing about trusting goverm3nt scientist is that the scientist arent independent. Freedom is freedom. Be at peace with dying.

[@ThrowsCoach_JayRay]

Severely underrated comic . He has always had solid sets and specials over the years

[@Drekromancer]

I can't believe I've never heard of this man. His momentum is unbelievable. I was laughing the whole time!

[@NotBaph]

He was the voice of comedy central forever

[@ed118520]

Dude, do I envy you! Every one of his specials are great! Getting to listen to them the first time. *chef's kiss

[@andrewvelonis5940]

Same here.

[@drunkpunk5393]

Will be watching this for many nights. He was right I was confused. But laughed throughout. Thanks for posting to KZbin. Will be rewatched endlessly.

[@Alexvidwork]

Kyle, you're objectively a top tier, goat level comedian. Been watching for almost 20 years now and you still deliver the goods.

[@shards0fwords]

I’ve watched this at least 4 times ❤ edit: at least 5 times now

[@solisdruid8442]

Hands down one of the best storytellers and master of random thoughts that still end in an epic call back.

Amazing line! I haven't laughed that hard in ages. I love his wordplay.

[@dozermk]

So many times I have found myself in stiches, officially one of my favourite comedians of all time

[@SecurityClearancePodcast]

I put his last special on while I was busy, accidentally sat for the whole hour while I had stuff today… Fantastic!

[@mattj5772]

Can't wait for another drunk comedy night to watch this

Kyle I have been listening to you for years. Thank you

[@LoganDoesntHaveAids]

my favorite comedian, the reason I'm a comedy fan. I am SO happy to see this.

[@davidd.2421]

After watching this special (twice), I burnt my mattress, bed laundry, and all the pillows I could find. That was a week ago, and the pillows are still burning.

[@pauliuskarlonasmusic]

Thank you very much. ❤ 3rd time watching and still enjoying...

[@stevestackpole6817]

First time hearing Kyle Kinane. New fan here.

[@snafu2375]

This man deserves all the likes

[@Jc-pu3cx]

the pilot gets paid very well, he doesn't need a pat on the back from me.

[@whambalamb]

A SOURDOUGH STARTER!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@stevestackpole6817]

Love his bit on trucks trucks TRUCKS!! 😂😂

[@SwenglishSteve1967]

Was listening to this with earbuds on an early morning bus, proud to say I made the entire bus wake up & turn to look at me garving with laughter when the 'catch of the day' joke came along 😂

[@PreludeDude]

When my plantar fasciitis makes me tip over while pissing in the morning, I think of Kyle Kinane.

[@twinklybubblybits]

The most successful use of a creative writing degree ever lol🏆✨

[@dorian4404]

There aren't many constant stuff in this world, but there is always Kyle putting out great hours of stand up

[@dch0441]

i first watched this special after having surgery last year while i was still in the hospital. your "Lappy Appy" bit nearly popped a stitch! i had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy

[@Nevereverlether]

You have to be careful watching comedy in a hospital. I saw Brian Regan live after surgery and he was literally ripping my stitches open

[@StraightCrossing]

Always happy to see uncle BBQ in my recommended

[@BigWhitePerson]

4th time listening to the whole thing , still laughed the entire time. Thanks Kyle ✌️🤟🤘🖖

Kyle! Please come to Australia dude. You will find a demographic that will relate to your take on life. And we have affordable healthcare. 😂 love your shit man!

[@benjamendaly]

Saw him at Melbourne Comedy Festival last year. Hopefully he's back again in 2025

[@creepycast]

One of my all-time favorites to play over and over again.

[@BriarRouge]

Thank you, Kyle! You are one of a handful of people that make me laugh, but truly belly laugh so hard it hurts!

[@bigredcupproductions]

Realised I saw this recently, rewatched it anyway because it's so damn good!!!

[@chrishartley4871]

First off absolutely love his stand up, to the point I've watch this and his others multiple times. And this version is missing little parts.. sentences here and there. I understand why, but I like the full unedited Kyle. Going to watch fully and leave a like out of respect but I'll have to rewatch other versions later on.

[@russell_the_love_muscle]

Kyle you rule. You and Standhope are the only guys I just leave on repeat in the background. I hope you're doing good and thanks a whole lot.

[@Jericho6115]

Saw Kyle open for Patton Oswalt at the Tempe Improv. Fucking killed. I have been a big fan ever since and really enjoy his character from the One-Eyed Snakes biker gang on Bob's Burgers.

Oh my queef. Kyle you are so fucking hilarious. I used to love tom Segura, I saw him live on my anniversary, but you are so metal , so irreverent, so funny I literally laugh out loud at work . I love you to the bottom of my heart . You are now my favorite comedian ever. So thank you with ally heart

[@tswiftie9226]

Kyle, you're my favorite. You're the greatest. I want to be a stand up myself, and I love your comedy. I hope I can be half as good as you.

[@actionfaction2558]

I’ve tried to spread your “I’m as tired as a big dick bat” further into the lexicon as you hope. That is indeed a great contribution to modern society. Thankyou Kyle.

[@DemocracyJones]

Flurry of chrome! Love ya Kyle and I can't wait for Dirt Nap

[@UnkleBen]

So glad I discovered you Kyle you have made me laugh out loud to the point of spitting fluids out my nostrils and even yes peeing a little bit in my pants

[@DrCommaBarber]

hell yes bro!!! so glad youre uploading your own material now!

[@laketones2000]

Regards from Poland Kyle. Im a fan. You should get more recognition.

[@mike.repucci]

Brilliant!

[@RenoSai]

Also, I've watched all of your specials at least 3 or 5 times. Still make me laugh every time. I wish you'd come to grand rapids michigan. You'd have 2 guaranteed tickets sold from me!

[@Facebones2391]

Kyle really just has an appeal like nobody else. Can't think of a stand up I'd rather actually hang out with. Also, huge endorsement from this autistic dude for his joke about us. I've kinda said similar shit, he's not wrong.

[@samvigoren1197]

This guy is fucking awesome! Best comic I've seen in a long while.

[@holmcm751]

I like this version. And also, all of them. It's nice to share a mental heart hug when you're laughing at laughing too hard enough to hear someone mention a little bit of pee pants and I suddenly love being alone with someone else but from a distance. Or some shit. Makes me think of the Good Saint Billy Madison.

"Dirt Nap" when?
