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
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.
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.
i think the lame puns make it feel even more like conversation with a friend, he kind of leans into the hackiness, it's almost like you can tell he says them ironically.
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
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.

@@SnowCrashed1 at the time he wasn't that powerful at all. He was a comedy writer with more experience than them, but he wasn't the Louis that had an insanely popular show on fx and was doing the garden regularly.
Right? Here I was thinking I was enjoying a great video, about a great guy, expertly created and edited by a great man, and then it turns out it was a lady this whole time. It's like Bruce Gender all over again.
What abuse, how did Louie ck. Even get in trouble for asking for consent and not even touching the girls. There was no stories of any kind of consequences for saying no
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. He didn’t have ill intent, and what he did was not even close to being so reprehensible that you shouldn’t be able to enjoy or talk about his work. I love your videos, and it’s incredibly unfortunate that you most likely won’t be talking about Louis anytime soon, especially since he’s undoubtedly my favorite.
Asking for sexual favors when the power dynamic is such that the 2 women were asking Louis for help trying to produce a script is not a great look but at least he asked for permission. However, that is not where it ended, he then threatened to end their careers if they ever talked about what happened, that is the behavior of an abuser. Maybe I am remembering incorrectly but that is my recollection of the incident.
If I'm not mistaken, I've heard Gillis on a podcast say that the ' I can see everyone not enjoying it' was part of the bit. For reference, he was talking about the news articles written about him and how they claimed he even knew he was bombing, and used that moment for reference.
yeah matt had a solo podcast after the snl ep and said that him saying that people were unhappy was his schtick. It's kind of obvious when you've watched enough of him.
But but "ABUSE" lol Good God. This BS putting him even remotely near the level of Weinstein is insane. Absolute knobs. He messed up... a little. Barely. I'm more annoyed Louis equated orange man with mustache man, which is just as insane. But the man is talented and only slightly crappy--like all of us(crappy, not talented).
@@MonstyliciousWell Trump isn’t genocidal like Hitler was but Trump is already an attempted (and failed) authoritarian. The comparison isn’t crazy. Maybe Mussolini is a more fair comparison though.
You know he was literally president for 4 years right? During a period of unprecedented peace and prosperity... Right? Like this isn't "in theory" ... This happened. He was already president. Stop watching CNN, go outside, and start thinking for yourself. Stop parroting talking points of millionaire politicians and media talking heads who are getting rich on you just mindlessly repeating whatever they're saying
Seems weird to give such a forced explanation about why you're talking about one of the greatest living comedians who owned what he did which wasn't nearly as bad as it was painted to be at the time. He seems like an example of how to take the criticism and find a pathway to redemption.
@@Walrus286well I’d say he definitely shoulda thought how much control and pressure he had / could give off as the “boss” but he acknowledged that and that’s where it should’ve ended for me like it was just a clear mistake and miscommunication problem to apologize for if that
My impression of Shane is the ultimate bro. He comes off as the guy you would want to have some drinks with because he makes the crew laugh. He's the dude in the locker room cracking up the team before the coach rips you to shreds. His chemistry with Matt (who I kinda think has genius level IQ) is admirable for male friendships. He makes me laugh my ass off. I'm really happy he's successful.
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.
The way Shane performs is NOT perfect, but that's part of the appeal. The natural, genuine nature of his speech and delivery is refreshing. It definitely is like hanging out with a friend in a way instead of seeing someone play a character, which I really enjoy. Very well done. Subbed.
Shane saying things like "i don't know about this next joke" or saying "look i don't have any material that can be on tv" it's all written. sorry if im ruining the sauce for some of you but Shane being able to make things feel so improvised proves how good of a writer he is, like when he's asking the crowd to suggest different army's then saying ways they'd be more intimidating if they were gay. all of its written i guarantee you any army you could think of yelling out shane would of had a joke written about them, and oh whats that you yelled out one he missed? He had a joke for that situation to. Shanes a great writer thats how he makes this stuff feel like it does on stage. he's written the jokes in the way that shows us how his brain thinks. its not just Shane's talent, or shanes delivery that makes him great its Shanes writing.
@@_Xds_ just spent all day at blue whale comedy festival it's 3 AM and I just ate at waffle House with Casey Rocket. Im literally a stand up comedian so yeah I guess you could say I'm an expert.
I listened and enjoyed this video until 19:25. You try to discredit Louis CK and I’m out. Shane has it very correct when he says he’s the greatest of all time. He did his time, he made adjustments and took responsibility for his actions. Louis is back, and he is the king of stand up comedy.
Saw Shanes live before the special was released and I was surprised to realize that it was obviously the same act, but exactly, to a tea… which means nothing was unintentional, it was made to seem like it was but truly so tight of an act, movement, punchlines, cadence, everything.
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.
The inside joke thing is so true, being Australian i knew the kangaroo video so i laughed knowing what i was laughing about but the monkey bars video i had never seen and i laughed anyway because of how he told it i felt like id seen it lol
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.
Shane Gillis's act works because he makes it feel like a conversation between friends. From the outset, he tells a joke that makes it seem like a conversation between friends, and he does this by speaking as if it's a conversation between friends. This makes this audience feel like it's a conversation between friends, and creates a wonderful "conversation between friends" vibe where instead of a standup routine, it's a conversation between friends. The second thing he does is continue to tell jokes in a way that makes it seem like a conversation between friends. Furthermore,
All throughout highschool and well into adulthood, I noticed people becoming obsessed things weren't that great just because they're popular. Shane Gillis is one of those things
This whole video is a really fun and insightful analysis. Instant sub, I am definitely going to need to hear more of this mans insights on the comedy world. 15:57 killed me
This dive into Gillis' style is great and all, but can we talk about this man`s immaculate taste in music? I mean Ethiopiques Vol 4 AND section.80 in the SAME VIDEO?
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.
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!
This was a phenomenal analysis. I haven't come across your videos, but I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated this. Well done! Keep it up, I hope everyone realizes this treasure of a channel is here!
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.
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???
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
@@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.
@@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.
@@AvastarBin apologies, i meant to reply just as a normal comment, or reply to someone else, because the comment/context i replied to i can't find now. For some reason i @'d you.
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!
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.
An excellent analysis video & i love all the Americans getting offended in the comments because people don't like Louis CK 😂 . I'm not really a fan of Gillis (he's no Stewart Lee) but i do like your break down analysis.
Louis CK didn't- as far as I can tell - do anything that violated informed consent. Simply approached female, adult, consenting colleagues to participate in his paraphilia. So, to call it 'abuse' is wild
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
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.
@@0Kenniko Sure, but it goes against the popular opinion of the community. If you consider some ppl who have been cancelled to be redeemed or unfairly treated, Louie is at the top of that list to most people.
I was born in 87, Dave is my goat. But Shane is 100% leader of the new school. Anyone that just knows Shane from stand up please youtube mssp. Matt and shane bounce off eachother so well its hilarious
My favorite comedians are anthony jeselnik, louis ck, shane gillis. These guys calm and really great at their styles. I love chapelle but I do not like his style but still he is a legend of the game.
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.

Fr and all the shit about the puns....this dudes a wanker
Louis CK is absolutely one of the greatest comedians of all time
Louis is king
What abuse, how did Louie ck. Even get in trouble for asking for consent and not even touching the girls. There was no stories of any kind of consequences for saying no
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. He didn’t have ill intent, and what he did was not even close to being so reprehensible that you shouldn’t be able to enjoy or talk about his work. I love your videos, and it’s incredibly unfortunate that you most likely won’t be talking about Louis anytime soon, especially since he’s undoubtedly my favorite.
Yes. He’s one of the rock solid comedians
Was a pretty good video until the Louise CK section. Virtue Signalling.
Didn’t get to this part yet. What do I need to skip? Louis #1
SEVEN MINUTES jfc
Asking for sexual favors when the power dynamic is such that the 2 women were asking Louis for help trying to produce a script is not a great look but at least he asked for permission. However, that is not where it ended, he then threatened to end their careers if they ever talked about what happened, that is the behavior of an abuser. Maybe I am remembering incorrectly but that is my recollection of the incident.
This gay around 29:00.
If I'm not mistaken, I've heard Gillis on a podcast say that the ' I can see everyone not enjoying it' was part of the bit.
For reference, he was talking about the news articles written about him and how they claimed he even knew he was bombing, and used that moment for reference.
yeah matt had a solo podcast after the snl ep and said that him saying that people were unhappy was his schtick. It's kind of obvious when you've watched enough of him.
This video is really gay
Instructions unclear. Vid is now in my anus.
comedy for autists
Hella
Hmm
Gay 🤤
I saved this because i thought it was a new youtube special he was releasing. I was confused by the intro
me too, so dissapointed right now.
Why would he release a special on RUclips at the level he’s at now
Yup same
- The RTards Shane Constantly Jokes About
yeah this sucks.
33 minutes of some British guy explaining Shane Gillis to us. Just what the world needs...
Ending a video on a same line that you criticized earlier, is ruff.
Your line in the sand is Louis CK? 🙄
But but "ABUSE" lol
Good God. This BS putting him even remotely near the level of Weinstein is insane. Absolute knobs.
He messed up... a little. Barely. I'm more annoyed Louis equated orange man with mustache man, which is just as insane. But the man is talented and only slightly crappy--like all of us(crappy, not talented).
@@Monstylicioustfw you get permission to do something and then women change their mind after the fact
@@MonstyliciousWell Trump isn’t genocidal like Hitler was but Trump is already an attempted (and failed) authoritarian. The comparison isn’t crazy. Maybe Mussolini is a more fair comparison though.
@@motorhead48067when did he attempt to be an authoritarian leader?
You know he was literally president for 4 years right? During a period of unprecedented peace and prosperity... Right? Like this isn't "in theory" ... This happened. He was already president.
Stop watching CNN, go outside, and start thinking for yourself. Stop parroting talking points of millionaire politicians and media talking heads who are getting rich on you just mindlessly repeating whatever they're saying
shane gillis singlehandedly saving bud light from oblivion
Seems weird to give such a forced explanation about why you're talking about one of the greatest living comedians who owned what he did which wasn't nearly as bad as it was painted to be at the time. He seems like an example of how to take the criticism and find a pathway to redemption.
King Louie 2024
He did absolutely nothing wrong. He asked, and other consenting adults said yes.
@@Walrus286well I’d say he definitely shoulda thought how much control and pressure he had / could give off as the “boss” but he acknowledged that and that’s where it should’ve ended for me like it was just a clear mistake and miscommunication problem to apologize for if that
bruh comon u know gillis surrounds himself with rebulican racist anti woke assholes
Also he literally did nothing wrong.
30:10 "that's ruff" is very funny idc what anyone says
He’s one of the bros. That’s the best way I can describe it. It’s not a character on stage, he’s just one of the bros
I too think it's time to forgive Louis
No
@@thelordkk512I can see it clearly now.. all ppl with anime pfp are cunts.. ez
Most people already have.
@@thelordkk512 Judge not lest ye cast he fist stone.
there's nothing to forgive. he didn't do anything wrong.
My impression of Shane is the ultimate bro. He comes off as the guy you would want to have some drinks with because he makes the crew laugh. He's the dude in the locker room cracking up the team before the coach rips you to shreds. His chemistry with Matt (who I kinda think has genius level IQ) is admirable for male friendships. He makes me laugh my ass off. I'm really happy he's successful.
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.
I like the simplicity of calling something gay. Maybe I won’t in 10 years. But that shit is funny.
The puns are so hilarious. Nothing wrong with a little momentary low effort humor
“If you’re a simpleton, fast forward this part as if were talking about the dark lord Voldemort”
That really threw off the whole vid for me, such an odd moment with the preemptive apology as if he’s actually committing a serious offense
Louis is goated
The way Shane performs is NOT perfect, but that's part of the appeal. The natural, genuine nature of his speech and delivery is refreshing. It definitely is like hanging out with a friend in a way instead of seeing someone play a character, which I really enjoy. Very well done. Subbed.
thats ruff was awesome stop hating my guy 😭
Shane gillis fans try not to get mad at the slightest criticism challenge: Impossible
Shane saying things like "i don't know about this next joke" or saying "look i don't have any material that can be on tv" it's all written. sorry if im ruining the sauce for some of you but Shane being able to make things feel so improvised proves how good of a writer he is, like when he's asking the crowd to suggest different army's then saying ways they'd be more intimidating if they were gay. all of its written i guarantee you any army you could think of yelling out shane would of had a joke written about them, and oh whats that you yelled out one he missed? He had a joke for that situation to. Shanes a great writer thats how he makes this stuff feel like it does on stage. he's written the jokes in the way that shows us how his brain thinks. its not just Shane's talent, or shanes delivery that makes him great its Shanes writing.
And ur the expert and know for certain whether or not it was improvised beacuse ?? 😂 🤡
@@_Xds_ just spent all day at blue whale comedy festival it's 3 AM and I just ate at waffle House with Casey Rocket. Im literally a stand up comedian so yeah I guess you could say I'm an expert.
I listened and enjoyed this video until 19:25. You try to discredit Louis CK and I’m out. Shane has it very correct when he says he’s the greatest of all time. He did his time, he made adjustments and took responsibility for his actions. Louis is back, and he is the king of stand up comedy.
Lmao an opinion makes you hate the rest of the video. This is funny.
louis didnt do shit to fix shit, lol. he was obviously funny but dont lie to try and make your hero or whatever sound good
He’s a naturally hilarious dude, he can just talk about anything and it’s funny.
Saw Shanes live before the special was released and I was surprised to realize that it was obviously the same act, but exactly, to a tea… which means nothing was unintentional, it was made to seem like it was but truly so tight of an act, movement, punchlines, cadence, everything.
Fantastic video but using the Sing About Me (I'm Dying of Thirst) instrumental as casual background music is absolutely insane man.
This comedy breakdown was so brilliant it made me love Shane and miss Norm even more.....bravo!
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.
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.
I can just imagine Shane watching this saying “so that’s why I’m funny”
hearing folks from across the pond reference the Rogan-sphere is a real treat because i feel like a bit of a snob snubbing them all the time. cheers.
Gillis had a style that just makes him likable, feels like I could hang with him and it wouldn’t be awkward.
The inside joke thing is so true, being Australian i knew the kangaroo video so i laughed knowing what i was laughing about but the monkey bars video i had never seen and i laughed anyway because of how he told it i felt like id seen it lol
His stand up is legit just like the pod. That’s why it works so well.
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.
Great analysis as always , this channel is underappreciated gold.
Hi Shane, we love you!
Shane Gillis's act works because he makes it feel like a conversation between friends. From the outset, he tells a joke that makes it seem like a conversation between friends, and he does this by speaking as if it's a conversation between friends. This makes this audience feel like it's a conversation between friends, and creates a wonderful "conversation between friends" vibe where instead of a standup routine, it's a conversation between friends. The second thing he does is continue to tell jokes in a way that makes it seem like a conversation between friends. Furthermore,
Don't always agree with everything you say, but I have to respect the craftmanship of the video, really appreciate you trying to diversify your style.
All throughout highschool and well into adulthood, I noticed people becoming obsessed things weren't that great just because they're popular. Shane Gillis is one of those things
No he is better that’s why
Hi shane, can't wait til you talk about this on MSSP :)
bro has great taste in music, his appreciation of high level artistry cleary does translate
This level of analysis for some dude making jokes is crazy
This whole video is a really fun and insightful analysis. Instant sub, I am definitely going to need to hear more of this mans insights on the comedy world. 15:57 killed me
Music choices are on point. Tribes best instrumentals and mulatu astatke at the end
Thank you
This dive into Gillis' style is great and all, but can we talk about this man`s immaculate taste in music? I mean Ethiopiques Vol 4 AND section.80 in the SAME VIDEO?
I couldn’t believe it when I heard Tezeta 😹
What a beautiful way to end it.
I walked in there and said “wowww what a beautiful way to end it”
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.
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!
This was a phenomenal analysis. I haven't come across your videos, but I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated this. Well done! Keep it up, I hope everyone realizes this treasure of a channel is here!
I heard Bob Dylan and thought my Spotify opened 😂
I had this in my "Watch Later" for a month, because I thought it was just a Shane Gillis special.
I need to hit that bell.
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.
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???
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
@@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.
@@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.
@@AvastarBin apologies, i meant to reply just as a normal comment, or reply to someone else, because the comment/context i replied to i can't find now. For some reason i @'d you.
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
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!
What an outstandingly good video. Really hope gillis sees this. If nothing else it shows youre a huge fan
Quality over quantity ❤
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.
This was phenomenal please do an analysis of Patrice O’Neal ‼️
An excellent analysis video & i love all the Americans getting offended in the comments because people don't like Louis CK 😂 . I'm not really a fan of Gillis (he's no Stewart Lee) but i do like your break down analysis.
Louis CK didn't- as far as I can tell - do anything that violated informed consent. Simply approached female, adult, consenting colleagues to participate in his paraphilia. So, to call it 'abuse' is wild
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
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.
@@SneakyG59 It's kinda like Rogan for me. I fuck with him on his podcast but his standup just isn't it for me.
I think you’re gonna need to unpack and layout exactly why you think Louis C.K. is so bad at some point.
Sexual assault charges not enough for you or?..
@@0Kenniko Sure, but it goes against the popular opinion of the community. If you consider some ppl who have been cancelled to be redeemed or unfairly treated, Louie is at the top of that list to most people.
@r4v4g3r Yeah man, Louis is an incredible comedian. Shane would agree and has with Matt McCusker on the pod.
@@0Kenniko oh shut up
If you paid attention, he really did lay out his reasons why he dislikes Louie and his comedy.
I was born in 87, Dave is my goat. But Shane is 100% leader of the new school. Anyone that just knows Shane from stand up please youtube mssp. Matt and shane bounce off eachother so well its hilarious
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
I feel like Shane is literally a dude who just enjoys having fun, I don’t think there’s that much thought behind it beside the bits themselves
the dance you do to signal your distain for C.K is hilarious.
Thanks for including the "skip to" part. Louis is top shelf n did nothing wrong
11:51 yo is that Jeff Epstein?😂
Thought i was the only one who saw it
Gillis wasn’t bombing at SNL, pointing out how people weren’t enjoying it was a joke
Well done
My favorite comedians are anthony jeselnik, louis ck, shane gillis. These guys calm and really great at their styles. I love chapelle but I do not like his style but still he is a legend of the game.
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.
Louis talking down to hecklers is hilarious, idk what you're going on about here. He's the GOAT.
“Now lets play Hey Jude” was the least realistic part of the Beatle impression😭 love this video bro
Anyone know the name of the song in the intro @0:35
The man in me bob dylan
Daruse Sandstorm
Lalalalalaaaa
Big Lebowski Dream Song
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.
