Shane Gillis’ EPIC Return To SNL

[@4RILDIGITAL]

The unfazed attitude of Shane, even post backlash, reflects a lot about his integrity and ability to remain comedically creative under pressure. It's astounding how easily comedy can be undermined in today's overly polarized climate.

[@TheDylls]

This is maybe kinda silly, but know what it always makes me think of? Tywin Lannister speaking to Joffrey: "A real king never has to tell anyone that they're the king." Swap basically any word for "king" that's a type of "Ally" you can be... For example, no one who truly respects women ever feels the need to TELL others that they respect women. The people they know, know

[@tpjmadrigal12]

They fired shane for asian jokes and replaced him with an asian guy whose sole purpose on the show is to play caricatures of asian and gay people

[@BigRheno]

Or that he’s just not a cuck

The two black musicians in the background were cracking up while the white bassist lady had a stone face. That made me laugh even more.

[@peterfconley]

My older brother is severely autistic. Diagnosed in the early 90s. The absolute _saints_ who have committed their lives to his special ed classes and after school programs made some of the _darkest_ jokes that would make you cry laughing. He has done and still does things that will make you cry laughing. I pity those who don’t know that depth of love ❤️

[@RationalistMH]

Shame on you for tokenizing your brothers disability to advocate for bigoted humor. You are not autistic. You don’t get to decide what autistic are and are not cool with!

[@BigNiz82]

God bless you and your brother my dood🙏🤙🤘

[@JoshuaWingo-ky5oj]

Making people laugh from an empathetic position. Like people diagnosed with down syndrome don't understand they're a little different? Of course they do. The people offended are actually treating them like they can't understand their own life struggles 😔

You only make fun of the people you love. Unless you're just genuinely an asshole.

[@willvr4]

I'd love to hear some lol

[@adamwilliams2679]

I remember The day I learned the truth about people with down syndrome. I was in my early twenties delivering pizza and when a young man opened the door, I got that sinking feeling that I wasn't going to get a tip. My ignorant self assumed that he wouldn't be smart enough to know to do that or something. Man, I still want to kick my own ass thinking about my attitude back then. Needless to say, I was quite wrong. He picked up on my dour mood and his smile dropped just a bit as he asked if I was okay. Thankfully I was respectful enough to say "oh, you don't need to worry about it." He said "well then, neither should you" with a reinvigorated smile. I gave him the pizza and he gave me the money WITH a tip he had already set aside. Before I knew it he had grabbed me in a big hug and told me it was going to be okay, whatever it was. I walked out of that apartment building in tears, at once feeling horrible and wonderful. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is an incredible and unique person worthy of love and no one exemplifies that more than one of these precious people.

[@JohnB-we7ym]

Awesome lesson. Yes, they’re better than all other people. Genuine

[@utsxslv]

My daughter with Down Syndrome is 16. I love this guy so much! He rightly points out that these kids are the happiest people and probably better than all of your other family members combined. He's not wrong! My daughter's the best thing that ever happened to me and I'm including my marriage and my other two kids. But the rest of my family says the same thing about her as well.

[@rscoops3986]

I have a sister with Down Syndrome and we need more of his attitude and not pity and condolence like it’s a tragedy to have a family member with DS, when in fact “they’re the bros”

[@Squatch-f9c]

Years ago I taught swimming lessons for the YMCA. we had a program called adapted aquatics and it was absolutely my favorite class to teach. Those kids were the best.

[@veritas3660]

I work in a pan disabilities centre and my experience is a bit more mixed. All are amazing humans but not perfect, I have some who bully others who are good at making things go their way or go behind backs. I love how each person are different and fun.

[@utsxslv]

@@veritas3660 I have worked at several places where disabled adults live. You are not wrong. These wonderful happy sweet spirits can be taught to manipulate and bully. It depends on how they were raised as well. But generally, their natural disposition is sweet and happy and loving. You have to teach them the rest.

[@utsxslv]

@@Squatch-f9c That's awesome! My daughter loves swimming. She took some swimming lessons when she was young and still talks about it.

[@phreshtv4427]

As someone with a sister with Downs Syndrome, I’ve always loved Shane’s take on the topic! Everything he says about having relatives with it, is absolutely true! I love my sister wholeheartedly and she is the nicest of all of us! Plus she cracks jokes about herself as well!! Oh and she cracks jokes about my siblings and I as well!!

[@seanA416]

Perfectly put

[@SWB6]

Yep. Anyone who's interacted w & loved those w cognitive disabilities like DS knows it's dehumanizing to present them (in unnuaced language) essentially as infants. They aren't, they're individuals with their own traits & quirks. We love them for THEM, we don't seek to make babies out of adults. We appreciate the person in front of us.

[@roostergoblin4897]

I am SO HAPPY that he is getting this much love. He is absolutely hilarious, a comedian that you can kinda relate you. He feels like one of your best friends. Love Shane

[@AshBashNstash]

Comedy is ALWAYS at the expense of another person's feelings. That's what Comedy IS. We're laughing at someone's faults and flaws, and it's funny because we can relate.

[@stellaf0225]

I went to SNL when Jeremy Renner hosted and no one laughed either - they always add the laugh track. People don't know how to laugh at themselves anymore because they've been butthurt from being coddled online and by their parents 😂. Weak men make a weak world.

Objectively speaking, Shane is one of the top three, if not the top, "younger/new age" comedians of our time. The reason behind it is because he is a regular guy, with regular clothes and demeaner. The way he carries himself, the way he speaks, thinks, and behaves, he could be just one of the bros. He is just a regular dude, not an "edgy" comedian.

That last statement you made is something I actually needed to hear. I’m a professional dancer at Disney and I’m one of the only white straight males in my workplace. I’ve struggled to be accepted by my peers because they mostly talk about unrelatable topics like how hard it is to be gay, black, a woman, etc. in the workplace. I hear nonstop jokes and digs towards men, specifically white men and even more specifically white straight men. Apparently they don’t realize I fall into all 3 of those categories or they just don’t care as they continuously spew sexist, heterophobic, and down right hateful comments towards my demographic with me sitting next to them. What bothers me even more is how much they complain about the workplace being unfair when we are working at Disney together and they have a plethora of giveaways, celebrations, and promotions in the workplace for being anything but a white straight male. I live a life in fear for my job as my wife and are about to start a family together and how I’m supposed to provide if the thing I’ve put years of hard work into (my BFA in dance as well as years of training and experience) does not accept me for who I am. Even posting this comment scares me as, even though I’ve said nothing hateful towards any community, I still feel someone could see this and try to get me fired. Time to be as authentic as possible and pray God guides me and my family through this life.

[@BirdsOfGlass]

Shane is hands down one of the best comedians doing it at the moment. Don't take his skits on SNL as a measure of Gillis' comedic talent, that's SNL & even Jesus himself doesn't have the ability to make SNL funny. If you really want to see what SNL should be then check out Gilly & Keeves. "OnlyFans Dad" is hands down one of the funniest sketch comedy bits I've ever seen in my life. "You don't want to see how the sausage is made but you'll sit down & eat all the sausage.". Shane was touched by Norm Macdonald when he was in the womb. His mom sat too close to the TV when Weekend Update with Norm came on & Shane was touched by Norm. Rumor has it that his mom played scrabble with Norm when she was 8 months pregnant & now Shane doesn't own a doghouse. The GOAT touched the next generations GOAT.

[@bryanf.8345]

I'd like to also point out that myself and family members watching the show were very impressed with the job he did on the skits as well. He stayed in character, read less off the prompter or cards, cracked up the SNL cast working with him and did a noticeably better job than any guests I've seen in a great while. Many of whom are actual actors.
