[@voss9842]

I’m pretty sure if Shane watched this monologue back he would tell you that it was a terrible set. He looks like he got so scared that he had to pull out ole reliable in the down syndrome jokes. His deliveries are off, he doesn’t even wait for laughs on some of the punch lines and some of the jokes are missing a punchline entirely. His dad being a volunteer assistant girls basketball coach is seriously weak. I legit didn’t know that was supposed to be a joke. Theres no setup he literally just introduced his dad and started laughing.

I think he had to back pedal because the audience was robotic and stiff like they heard the jokes but didn't get them, so he reverted to some of his "solid classics" that are simpler to understand. He was jittery and I think the "older" material was like hopping on an old bicycle and made it an easier/more comfortable ride as well. Just some thoughts
