It’s because his environment has been his bros. So many comedians don’t form their comedy around the natural banter that comes from shit talking with friends, they form it less as conversation but more like presentation
What I love about his style is that it feels improvised. His cadence and delivery sounds less like a stand-up routine and more like he's just talking shit with his friends at a bar.
The sign of a classic comedy special is that you can come back to it dozens of times and laugh as hard as you did the first time. This is one of those specials.
This has to be the greatest "casual" set I've ever seen- casual in the sense that it wasn't in a big theater or stadium, and Shane's nonchalant delivery made it feel like it was just your high school friend joking around in homeroom. The self-awareness of the ridiculous situations, the relatability, winning over both sides with the political jokes, even rolling with the punches with the music next door, just absolute gold all-around
Him getting cancelled from snl was a blessing. He’s too talented to be on network tv. He belongs in a spaces where he can be himself. Keep doing what you’re doing shane
Without a doubt, in my opinion, one of the best stand up specials of the last decade. It doesn't have to be for everyone, this is just undeniable. Shane is the man.
Nothing is undeniable. I can deny your claim that this was funny in any way. If you enjoyed it, that's good. But I didn't even crack a smile once. Now.... Tom Segura WAS the funniest stand up comedian who I had ever seen, until I saw Norm MacDonald. I've never laughed harder or more consistently at any of the stand up shows that I've been to before then or since then.
@@howlsitgoingI’m honestly going to remember partly because of trump murdering him but mainly because Ted Cruz got away with murder so many times because he’s the zodiac killer
Shane has the perfect standup routine. Basically just tells a very simple story of something that happened in his life and goes off on these hilarious tangents where he just rips off one liner after one liner after one liner. So good. My favorite comedian right now.
My special needs son once participated in a special needs basketball game. It was the funniest, best, most wholesome thing ever. My kid was passing the ball to kids on the other team and celebrating with them when one made a basket. Watching a special needs kid celebrate is an amazing experience. They have total wild abandon. No self consciousness to temper their joy. It is the best.❤❤
just finished my 3rd watch and it's honestly gotten better and funnier with each viewing. Shanes becoming one of my favorite comedians. This will definitely be in my rotation of sets I revisit every so often but I'm already pumped for some more material. I'm kinda sad that it's over, I almost feel like starting it from the beginning now. Fantastic work
I’ve literally been watching this alone in my apartment and laughed so hard I cried multiple times. I coached special Olympics too and thought he actually did a really great and tasteful job on a pretty delicate topic
Agreed. I work in direct care for individuals with intellectual disabilities and have grown up caring for a family member with cerebral palsy. I can say quite definitively that his description of his team loving "tits(the ladies) and John Cena" was so completely spot on I nearly spit out my drink all over this laptop.
My brother with Down Syndrome has played a lot of Adaptive Football, but his games are absolutely hilarious. He hates playing defense and destroys on offense, one time he decided he was tired of defense, rotated around the line of scrimmage and got the opposing center to snap him to ball which he then ran for a touchdown against his own team.
@@Idotisme with varying success it has to be said. Those with years of solid material and prolific at writing seem to be doing well, Normand, List and Morril for example.
@@henoktesfaldet4517 I'd agree with that. However like you said it varies for sure.. for example I'd never even heard of Andrew Schulz until he released a special on YT that he unsuccessfully shopped around. I'd heard of Shane before watching this. That may just be my experience. Fr curious would you put Schulz in the same category as the names u listed? Maybe I was late
Have your son watch Mark Normand. He takes inspiration from his favorite comedian, Norm Macdonald, so they’re very similar in some ways. Just food for thought, but Shane did absolutely kill it!
I turn 45 this year and have been a big fan of comedy my whole life. I have now watched this special 5 times and I am convinced it is a perfect set. I still laughed multiple times on the 5th time watching.
I just found him on Theos podcast a few days ago. Been binging him, he’s really on another level when it comes to surprises and twists. The directions are things you’d never dream of and they work
This set is from top to bottom one of the best Ive ever seen. He sneaks jokes in everywhere, he didnt bomb at any one second, and in fact he crushed all 48 minutes start to finish. Shane has immediately cemented himself as a top stand up today and this special will not only got down as being one of the funniest ever but it'll age like wine.
Except for when at 37:31 he says this year she beat heroin Covid etc. Not just 30 seconds ago he said she was clean for 2 years but some how she just beat it this year. Lmao. He needs to fix that.
As I recovering Heroin addict I loved that bit. You gotta be able to laugh about it from time to time or you'll go insane. Hope she's still sober and thriving in her new life. I've got 7 months sober( 5 days ago) and I haven't felt this good in 18 years. If you're struggling don't give up, you'll succeed if you truly wanna be done with that miserable existence.
She co owns a coffe shop that exclusively hires the neurodiverse like people with down syndrome and autism and has a kid and husband now so yeah she’s doing pretty good
Yeah. Release the B roll Shane! Release the cut bits on Patreon! We’re going to ask until the end of time just like we demanded The Old Testament back.
@@tophan5146he used a racial slur (rhymes with sink) for Asians and it was found by a ridiculously self-titled "comedy reporter" or more correct description is useless human/snitch who brought the podcast to light that may have had 100 views before that. You know this person probably said, "As you ALL know I love comedy and have a great sense of humor but... blah blah blah insert self serving statement here! This person obviously went looking for anything to gain attention because he is a failed comedian in life. So the joke just has no context. All of it is being said with them mocking themselves because they are such idiots and even knowing it was wrong by referencing them telling someone in the story you can't say something in public. I mean it was wrong to say but if it was accompanied by all the Asian abuse from Covid at the time, it was just bad timing any other time he probably would have survived it! Comedy is not always going to be funny sometimes it falls flat and guess what the comedian knows that and it will reflect in ticket sales. Humor is subjective and when something is said without hate and only for the humor it should be taken with a grain of salt. I mean Carlin has a famous joke about the word grape (the G is silent just not trying to violate RUclipss terms of service) proving ANYTHING can be funny. Yes, it may be wrong but if comedians never took risks you wouldn't be laughing ever. To summarize someone went searching through someone's HAHA JOKE shows with the intention of finding anything they could use to negatively affect him and they did as you will with ANY comic in the world! But, that all being said we wouldn't have these Gilly and Keeves skits or this special. Not being on SNL was the best thing for him long term. He also has the fact he was obviously funny he made the cut for SNL which really isn't that good of a show anyways! Sorry for the novel of a comment just hate the people who can not just laugh or just ignore someone they don't find funny!
Song in the beginning is listed in Matt and Shanes secret podcast Music. Second song on the list- Shane Gillis live in Austin. What an amazing song. Took awhile to find but glad i did! 🖐🏻
Watch/listen to Sam Morril, Joe List, Mark Normand, Adrienne Iapalucci if you havent. I imagine you've already watched the big guys like Segura and CK's latest specials which are also great IMO. That said this special here is great. Already listened to Shane 3 times ha.
@@gabelogan56 I've watched, Joe List, Mark Normand, Segura and Ck's and I would say to me CK's was the best by far but this special was 2nd or 3rd. I have to check Sam and Adrienne though and thanks for the suggestions :)
The launching point was losing the gig at SNL. People felt bad for him and now he has a following. Either way, SNL made him. He is a good hack. And very underread. His material is as mediocre as a colleg football game. ....But lets be truly honest, it was IRONICALLY SNL who put him on the map. Oh the irony!! He should be happy he did not get on. His career will be better because of it. SNL sucks and Hillis is a friendly, ignorant, hack.
Well they tried to cancel him after he got hired by SNL... so he's been under the radar for a while until this special. He was on Joe Rogan's podcast a couple times recently if you want to know the full story.
He often digs himself into a grave and almost gets out of it in a brilliant fashion yet he doesn't mind hanging on to the uncomfortable nature of his comedy. What a tremendous special.
I saw him in Philly right after the snl drama. He totally owned all of it in such a hysterical way - he's a master at using that discomfort to his advantage.
So many specials maybe 1 or 2 jokes are rewatchable. Both of Shanes so far are very rewatchable. Wonder if this has a lot to do with the way McKever edited it?
The whole: "make a wish foundation celeb being a bad sign to the terminally Ill" joke has actually been done more than a few times. Just in different formats. No hate on shane I just thought this was parrarel thinking. Also he did it better than the other two. And hes funnier than the other two.
Probably the most rewatchable special i’ve ever seen. I’ve watched this like over 10 times and every time the jokes land like its my first time seeing it
Agree. He actually reminds me of norm and I know Norm enjoyed Shane's comedy which is just about the highest compliment for a comedian if Norm Macdonald likes you
@@yeahbuddy300lbs in almost every school there is always one person who thinks they can communicate with animals. meaning they feel like they have special powers, and trust me... they SWEAR up and down they can talk to a specific species of animal..hers just happened to be a horse so he made the horse sound just for extra comedic effect, and also like she was trying to warn the rest of the kids danger was approaching. .....did I explain it good enough for ya bro?? I did my best. 😅
"John Cena is the Angel of death for you guys." That bit, fucking murdered me. My wife runs up and just finds me unable to breathe I was laughing so fucking hard. That bit was the best, the whole end bit is a banger for sure.
I've heard you read all your comments. First time I saw you was on kill tony, and I didn't watch the whole episode until today. This is the 3rd time I've watched your special and I think you're funny as hell, not only that, you have integrity, and to me you reflect the "devotion to duty" as in you take serious the words you say, and still embody normal folks in your comedy so well. Thanks for all the laughs.
This is the first guy I've seen in a long while that has these kind of takes, nothing is off limits, as it should be. 48 minutes of pure entertainment.
Yes 100%. I've seen enough Louie to sense the same sort of comedy 🤣 I didn't know much about Shane, until the SNL thing, but he's been killing it on podcasts, and this is amazing, and I'm only 9 minutes in 😂😂
Just wrote the same exact thing. He’s like a slightly more conservative and honestly less explicit Louis. I’m pretty picky about stand up and don’t watch it because they suck compared to my favorites, but damn Shane killed it.
Bro has louis Ck energy where he doesn't need the crowd to be with him and it's actually funnier if the crowd is initally against the joke. He managed to pick things that would trigger austin liberals and conservitives simultaneously and ended with everybody laughing, man is a one of a kind talent.
This is better at bringing people together than someone who constantly berates only side. And he's actually good at the racial humor, without being racist. Rare.
He won comedian of the year a year or two ago and was hired by SNL before having a special. Id say for the amount of content he's made the dude is rated pretty appropriately
He’s done pretty well, true. But I can’t see this getting the same views Normand’s special got. And I don’t see him going on major shows to promote anything any time soon. I think he’s still in the doghouse to the broader public.
I might be the only one to notice this but nick mullen made this joke before this special. Hopefully just similar ideas cause I think Shane is a great comedian.
@@liammagin8642 you're going to have to link something for proof, but I'll let you in on a little secret: the material people use for a special isn't a one and done, first night only time, set. Comedians use the same material, sometimes for years and years. Filming a special is actually usually the retirement for these jokes, as now everyone can just see them online instead of getting to reuse them every weekend in some random city. All that to say, with no knock to Shane, that premise could be years old...especially with no pop culture references and just a standalone joke.
ATTENTION BROTHER!!! I have two very very sweet girlfriends who I show off (I smell like 100 not-alive orangutans oh nooo) in my perfectly great videos that most people consider to be the reason of life! Thank you for you attention, dear dude kid jon
I think Sam Morrill " I got this" stands up, the guy is an amazing joke writer. I also like Sean Patton Scuttlebutt, that's a straight existential experience. It's an album, not a special.
@@junior1388666 Definitely. Chappelle is great, but he's been more interested in Carlin-esque comedy symposiums. They're good, but they aren't entirely about being funny. Shane Gillis isn't making philosophical points, he's just fucking around.
They way he makes his bits so approachable like he’s just bullshitting with you and not on a stage is great. The guy had people laughing at everything, trans, trump, school shootings. A good comedian for sure
"If you take heroin, every bus is a bullet train..." My fucking sides hurt. The art of delivery and "lean" punchlines is hands down one of the toughest skills in life to master. To feel the crowd slipping on premise and then gut punch them with that level of precision. Fuck man...epic level talent.
Nailed it. ‘Lean Punchlines’ I’m a songwriter and get asked a lot to cowrite. I always start by saying, “Our goal is to simply convey our idea until it can be felt by the listener. We will cut more ideas than we will keep.” Yet they will fight for the perfect lyric that just doesn’t fit. Or shred a guitar solo over a pop song.
This guy delivers his comedy in such a natural way- I forget he is a professional comedian- he sounds like a buddy cracking jokes at a party.
It would be an awsome party
@@KalleKongo-uf5eihell yea

Yeah, that's what I like best about this set as well. It feels like a fucked up conversation I would have with my friends after 4 rounds of tequila. 😂
I agree, it makes it hilarious 😂
To a bunch of d.a.w.g.s
Proper good way to describe that.
The sign of a classic comedy special is that you can come back to it dozens of times and laugh as hard as you did the first time. This is one of those specials.

@@mattallan6338 "problem time" shane gillis
Hahahaha
Baaahahahajahaha
He's a real human bean
I turn 45 this year and have been a big fan of comedy my whole life. I have now watched this special 5 times and I am convinced it is a perfect set. I still laughed multiple times on the 5th time watching.
What is this a math equation, weird comment
he laughs at his own jokes lol
@@stevebanning902 just like you
@@sloshgaboo8217 lmfao
Same ive let my co workers listen on my airpods and they lads love it
Shane Gillis is absolutely hilarious. 😂😂😂 His ability to drop casual, relevant cultural references and laugh as much as the audience is the best! 😅😂😂😂
"Sit down, sniper.... ☝️You're gay... I walked in here, I said WOW, this sniper's gay..."
I am sitting fucker
i never seen a gayer sniper.
YUuuuuge
Im sure he actually made fun of him after the incident. I mean the guy looked a bit goofy lol
It missed. How gay
Im actually surprised how good this special is. Never heard of this guy and this is one of the best specials ive ever seen. Hilarious!
Should check out his skits on this channel, Shane Gillis is very funny
I just found him on Theos podcast a few days ago. Been binging him, he’s really on another level when it comes to surprises and twists. The directions are things you’d never dream of and they work
You ever see the sixth sense? That’s totally the kid. Believe me
Him and Mark Normand are both new to me and like the last couple months in both in my top two
This comment makes me so happy
When he said "Cena is like the angel of death to these guys" I pissed my pants.
he's taking souls with him
They should have him dressed in black sheets carrying a scythe
Funniest line of the set
Are you sure about that?
27:50 oh well that didn’t age very well😭😭
seems like it aged incredibly well
I think it is aged perfectly. You are just a Kamala drone. Kamala was funny too.. in a sad and a stupid and embarrassing way
Ngl I was about to comment that
The sign of a good special is if its still relevant years later. Awesome work Shane
Yo, this is three years old....and you're implying "years later". Cmon
3 years feels like a decade how fast things are moving
@@RonJOlsonJr so true. Everyone ahs become numb to what was once "surprising or unique" news.
@@Warden033yep. Years later. Three years later. Not even a debate.
27:50 aged quite well. Still relevant.
This set is from top to bottom one of the best Ive ever seen. He sneaks jokes in everywhere, he didnt bomb at any one second, and in fact he crushed all 48 minutes start to finish.
Shane has immediately cemented himself as a top stand up today and this special will not only got down as being one of the funniest ever but it'll age like wine.
I actually really appreciate him walking the line of bombing, or being unpopular, then bringing the crowd back on his side.
Except for when at 37:31 he says this year she beat heroin Covid etc. Not just 30 seconds ago he said she was clean for 2 years but some how she just beat it this year. Lmao. He needs to fix that.
Shane is in my top five with Louie, Patrice, Norm, and early Burr before he sold out.
@@fatboynip yea or maybe he meant like "as of this year"
@@get8bitBurr sold out? Bro you mofos are weird
Has to be one of today’s best comedians. Extremely talented and hilarious.
And the best part is hes politically correct
The way he mixes crazy concepts with regular life is just incredibly funny
Shane live is amazing and this embodies it like most specials can’t. A natural funny and charming bull.
He’s not “special” he just looks like it.
Would kinda suck seeing the Bull in a cage
like SNL. Even if the whole world is watching,
You still have to bend over for the advertisers.
How great is our bull?
His style is a lot like norm macdonald's. Its great.
The young bull delivers
As I recovering Heroin addict I loved that bit. You gotta be able to laugh about it from time to time or you'll go insane. Hope she's still sober and thriving in her new life. I've got 7 months sober( 5 days ago) and I haven't felt this good in 18 years. If you're struggling don't give up, you'll succeed if you truly wanna be done with that miserable existence.
Recently had my two years.
The skit made me lol. *Questing* 💀💀💀.
Keep it up!! *IT GETS SO MUCH EASIER I PROMISE*
She co owns a coffe shop that exclusively hires the neurodiverse like people with down syndrome and autism and has a kid and husband now so yeah she’s doing pretty good
hell yea dude good shit keep it up
Congrats. I got 13 years clean and it's cause i literally woke up one day and said I'm done with this shit.
Congrats on your sobriety!
This dude single-handedly filling the hole Norm Macdonald left in my heart
RiP
exactly dude
Yes!! You nailed it!!!
What happened with norm!?
Have you seen Shane’s new one Beautiful dogs?
@@dustinice1077norm's dead bro.
At 29:27 he pretty much called it how it happened
So close and yet so far
The worst thing about this special is that IT'S NOT ENOUGH! I need at least another hour of this. Fucking killed it! Can't wait until the next one!
Yeah. Release the B roll Shane! Release the cut bits on Patreon! We’re going to ask until the end of time just like we demanded The Old Testament back.
Isn’t the worst bit about this special the editing? Shane’s great but I popped an anti histamine to get through
When it ended I said to myself “who puts out a 15 min special?” Time really does fly when ur having fun.
buy tickets and see him in person
@@C_Unit2003 yeah it's definitely not the best but I bet this will get the ball rolling in his favor for a bigger special.
Shane getting fired from SNL and "canceled" was a gift from the cosmos. Exhibit A.
What’s the backstory? I
.
Snl hired him and then ppl found homophobic jokes on hisTwitter from years ago and snl was pressed to fire him in like 4 days.
@@tophan5146he used a racial slur (rhymes with sink) for Asians and it was found by a ridiculously self-titled "comedy reporter" or more correct description is useless human/snitch who brought the podcast to light that may have had 100 views before that. You know this person probably said, "As you ALL know I love comedy and have a great sense of humor but... blah blah blah insert self serving statement here! This person obviously went looking for anything to gain attention because he is a failed comedian in life. So the joke just has no context. All of it is being said with them mocking themselves because they are such idiots and even knowing it was wrong by referencing them telling someone in the story you can't say something in public. I mean it was wrong to say but if it was accompanied by all the Asian abuse from Covid at the time, it was just bad timing any other time he probably would have survived it! Comedy is not always going to be funny sometimes it falls flat and guess what the comedian knows that and it will reflect in ticket sales. Humor is subjective and when something is said without hate and only for the humor it should be taken with a grain of salt. I mean Carlin has a famous joke about the word grape (the G is silent just not trying to violate RUclipss terms of service) proving ANYTHING can be funny. Yes, it may be wrong but if comedians never took risks you wouldn't be laughing ever. To summarize someone went searching through someone's HAHA JOKE shows with the intention of finding anything they could use to negatively affect him and they did as you will with ANY comic in the world! But, that all being said we wouldn't have these Gilly and Keeves skits or this special. Not being on SNL was the best thing for him long term. He also has the fact he was obviously funny he made the cut for SNL which really isn't that good of a show anyways! Sorry for the novel of a comment just hate the people who can not just laugh or just ignore someone they don't find funny!
Thanks!
“I think they’re letting one coach”😂. Whole thing was killer, well done Shane
Too funny
Song in the beginning is listed in Matt and Shanes secret podcast Music. Second song on the list- Shane Gillis live in Austin. What an amazing song. Took awhile to find but glad i did! 🖐🏻
But the title? Is it on Spotify? Can you download it?
This is better than anything I've seen on Netflix in a long time. The entire set was awesome.
Comment
RUclips is the new home of comedy
Can’t believe we get to enjoy it for free!
Can you believe other comics got $5-20mil for a same hour set as this that was complete dogshit? Shane and Normand got screwed!
I was thinking the same thing , Netflix is scared to put out anything controversial
This was so funny. Better than 99% of specials that have been released past few years
Watch/listen to Sam Morril, Joe List, Mark Normand, Adrienne Iapalucci if you havent. I imagine you've already watched the big guys like Segura and CK's latest specials which are also great IMO. That said this special here is great. Already listened to Shane 3 times ha.
Actually the number is 86.7%.
@@gabelogan56 I've watched, Joe List, Mark Normand, Segura and Ck's and I would say to me CK's was the best by far but this special was 2nd or 3rd. I have to check Sam and Adrienne though and thanks for the suggestions :)
@@jeremewilson4690 yeah man, math stuff !
*This will be the launching point for Shane’s career. Brilliant comedian.*
Nah brother the launching point was Matt and Shane you're joining us up at the space station with saint rogies
Thanks Southside 609, I'm sure everyone'll fuckin listen to you
@@ethanbill9224 😂😂😂
gay
The launching point was losing the gig at SNL. People felt bad for him and now he has a following. Either way, SNL made him. He is a good hack. And very underread. His material is as mediocre as a colleg football game. ....But lets be truly honest, it was IRONICALLY SNL who put him on the map. Oh the irony!! He should be happy he did not get on. His career will be better because of it. SNL sucks and Hillis is a friendly, ignorant, hack.
Can't watch the Tyson v. Paul fight cause Netflix is gay. Came to watch this instead cause Shane is the best
Shane "the young bull" Gillis...you murdered man, one of the funniest specials I've seen in a while

But he's nothing close to louie CK

It always amazes me when you find a new comedian that immediately becomes your new favorite and it's like how did I not know about this guy?
Listen to the pods’ Matt and Shane secret podcast and Warmode
@@sethlindberg1535 warmode is goat
Well they tried to cancel him after he got hired by SNL... so he's been under the radar for a while until this special. He was on Joe Rogan's podcast a couple times recently if you want to know the full story.
Yeah he’s probably better then most mainstream comedians
I felt exactly the same.
Dawg this video speaks volumes 29:49
The bit about racism leading to "...a cheeseburger could cut you off on the highway." lmao that is too fucking good.
The funniest jokes are always the true ones
I remember when a cheeseburger cut me off.
Yeah, no one is thinking about little old Chinese ladies at first
That’s the joke yeah
i wasnt hungry all day!
He often digs himself into a grave and almost gets out of it in a brilliant fashion yet he doesn't mind hanging on to the uncomfortable nature of his comedy. What a tremendous special.
Reminds me of Louis ck in that way
I saw him in Philly right after the snl drama. He totally owned all of it in such a hysterical way - he's a master at using that discomfort to his advantage.
You don’t think I can get out of this sir?
Perfect description 👌
“That’s a smart run” has to be one of the funniest, most understated lines in this 😂
lmao i thought the same thing
that shit killed me
Intelligent play vs athletic play. 😂 Bill Burr has a good bit about that. Shane just slides that little gem in there. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 hilarious and when he talks about growing into being republican is genius ...
@@bjjones6692no for real that shit was like a revelation first time I heard him say it. Like how that this shit is fucking accurate it CRAZY
This was top tier lmao 😂 Up there with killing them softly and that Chris Tucker special when he had that tux on
Shoutout to Netflix for not buying Mark Normand's or Shane's stand up special, you fucking up. These guys are gold.
Check out Joe List and Sam Morrill as well! KILLING!
and Morrill!
They would never put this on Netflix as is ... did someone say sam morrill special is on par to Shane's... obviously not one of the dawgs
Netflix doesn't have actual funny stand up specials
@@tehfuqizg0inon588 Segura’s ball hog is brilliant
The re watchability of this special is outstanding... I've personally watched this like 3 times and still laugh at the jokes...well done Shane
So many specials maybe 1 or 2 jokes are rewatchable. Both of Shanes so far are very rewatchable. Wonder if this has a lot to do with the way McKever edited it?
Yeah, I watched it twice today alone and I never do that
The assassination joke didn't age well lol
This was my third time…I was crying! 😭😭😂🤣😂
@@videditorEB1 re watching the special at this moment

@@samgb9 m
The whole: "make a wish foundation celeb being a bad sign to the terminally Ill" joke has actually been done more than a few times. Just in different formats. No hate on shane I just thought this was parrarel thinking. Also he did it better than the other two. And hes funnier than the other two.
"I told my guys, you see Cena coming, you get the fuck outta there!" 🤣
Oh man,watching this is the best thing I’ve done on RUclips in ages,if not ever. Hilarious! Dude can fit right in with my people.

@@McCandlessMike Yea you can see him keep polishing.. one of my favorite young comedians - so good
“We fucking hate the environment. That’s how straight we are” 🤣🤣🤣
Probably the most rewatchable special i’ve ever seen. I’ve watched this like over 10 times and every time the jokes land like its my first time seeing it
Saaaame there’s only a handful specials that have that effect but man this is one of ‘em
Dude I listen to this mf like music 😂
I watch it high af so I forget about it and it feels like the first time watching it, every time
"I snuck into the hug line"
It's like a 6/10 at best. Widen your interests whitey
Especially after the passing of Norm, it’s refreshing to know there is more special talent coming down the pipe.
Yes this lump of coal has potential
When Shane was getting the shit kicked out of him by the whole world Norm showed support for Shane publicly. What a sweetie. R.i.p Norm
Glad he still understands comedy some others should take note
Agree. He actually reminds me of norm and I know Norm enjoyed Shane's comedy which is just about the highest compliment for a comedian if Norm Macdonald likes you
Dude yes. I haven't laughed so hard in almost 2 years
Shane keeping his friends at the start, Love this guy.

Funny stuff
I've heard you read all your comments. First time I saw you was on kill tony, and I didn't watch the whole episode until today. This is the 3rd time I've watched your special and I think you're funny as hell, not only that, you have integrity, and to me you reflect the "devotion to duty" as in you take serious the words you say, and still embody normal folks in your comedy so well. Thanks for all the laughs.
This is the first guy I've seen in a long while that has these kind of takes, nothing is off limits, as it should be. 48 minutes of pure entertainment.
He’s got the same magic rhythm as Louie. He makes it seem like anyone can do it.
I also thought of Louis CK while watching this…excellent performance.
Yes! So true
And the same ability to deliver foul jokes and make them hilarious!! This guy's destined to comedy greatness without a fucking doubt.
Yes 100%. I've seen enough Louie to sense the same sort of comedy 🤣 I didn't know much about Shane, until the SNL thing, but he's been killing it on podcasts, and this is amazing, and I'm only 9 minutes in 😂😂
Just wrote the same exact thing. He’s like a slightly more conservative and honestly less explicit Louis. I’m pretty picky about stand up and don’t watch it because they suck compared to my favorites, but damn Shane killed it.
Bro has louis Ck energy where he doesn't need the crowd to be with him and it's actually funnier if the crowd is initally against the joke.
He managed to pick things that would trigger austin liberals and conservitives simultaneously and ended with everybody laughing, man is a one of a kind talent.
This is better at bringing people together than someone who constantly berates only side. And he's actually good at the racial humor, without being racist. Rare.
Louis CK took him on tour with him.
@@cyrollan I agree, you can't see the other sides perspective if you are "too good" to laugh at your side.
WOW!!! THATS IT! i couldnt figure out who he reminds me of. i completely agree
Nan
His Dad saying "What the hell are they doing over there?" kills me every time
Easily one of the most criminally underrated comedians today.
He won comedian of the year a year or two ago and was hired by SNL before having a special. Id say for the amount of content he's made the dude is rated pretty appropriately
He’s done pretty well, true. But I can’t see this getting the same views Normand’s special got. And I don’t see him going on major shows to promote anything any time soon. I think he’s still in the doghouse to the broader public.
“You’re not hungry NOW, but a cheeseburger can cut you off on the highway”😂😂😂 man he deserves the recognition he’s getting
Agreed! The Fox dad /black church bit was so damn funny too.
I might be the only one to notice this but nick mullen made this joke before this special. Hopefully just similar ideas cause I think Shane is a great comedian.
@@liammagin8642 you're going to have to link something for proof, but I'll let you in on a little secret: the material people use for a special isn't a one and done, first night only time, set. Comedians use the same material, sometimes for years and years. Filming a special is actually usually the retirement for these jokes, as now everyone can just see them online instead of getting to reuse them every weekend in some random city.
All that to say, with no knock to Shane, that premise could be years old...especially with no pop culture references and just a standalone joke.
@@mad1337nes !! Dropped some knowledge on that man! Can’t wait to see Shane’s next set
Killer tag to that joke. He's pretty epic.
Holy fuck, that was funny. Every single bit of it. If I wasn’t laughing out loud, I had a grin on my face. The Young Bull killed it!
ATTENTION BROTHER!!! I have two very very sweet girlfriends who I show off (I smell like 100 not-alive orangutans oh nooo) in my perfectly great videos that most people consider to be the reason of life! Thank you for you attention, dear dude kid jon

@@AxxLAfriku ohh shit, its u, big fan
I'm 8 minutes in. No smile yet but he's definitely funny.
"Madea Goes To The Moon" took me the fuck out, damn
I about died when he said “you have to gather copper”. Lol holy shit this whole set was great.
Damn he nailed that one.
I think this is the only hour of standup I've ever watched more than twice.
me too shane is great!
Just watched it for the 3rd time. It only stinks when it ends. Shane Gillis #1
Same my homie
On my third watch now lol
I think Sam Morrill " I got this" stands up, the guy is an amazing joke writer. I also like Sean Patton Scuttlebutt, that's a straight existential experience. It's an album, not a special.
Shane's like that one friend we've always dreamed of having.
I feel sorry for you
on god tho
I dont care if he doses me with lsd too, I'd love to be his friend
you dream of having friends?
I hang out whit a couple of shanes
watching 3th time now with a year appart each time, still the BEST standup performance ever to me!
I've watched this half a dozen times since it came out, still laugh the whole way through.
5th time in 4 days here
First time. This was really good. Don't wanna be sacrilegious, but this was funnier than chappelle's The Closer
I'm well into double digits and its still just as funny. This has never happened with any other special for me.
@@junior1388666 Definitely. Chappelle is great, but he's been more interested in Carlin-esque comedy symposiums. They're good, but they aren't entirely about being funny. Shane Gillis isn't making philosophical points, he's just fucking around.
First time watching his stand up, saw Shane on Joe Rogan, this is great 👍🏻
That “Roll Tide” bit gets me so good every single time 😂😂😂😂😂
They way he makes his bits so approachable like he’s just bullshitting with you and not on a stage is great. The guy had people laughing at everything, trans, trump, school shootings. A good comedian for sure
Shane is hilarious without being offensive
Roll tide brother ✊
The way he says "hwhite" is on point
Go Dawgs
"If you take heroin, every bus is a bullet train..." My fucking sides hurt. The art of delivery and "lean" punchlines is hands down one of the toughest skills in life to master. To feel the crowd slipping on premise and then gut punch them with that level of precision. Fuck man...epic level talent.
This was an impressive set to say the least. The way he plays into alienating the crowd is great stuff. Best special i've watched in a while.
Nailed it. ‘Lean Punchlines’
I’m a songwriter and get asked a lot to cowrite. I always start by saying, “Our goal is to simply convey our idea until it can be felt by the listener. We will cut more ideas than we will keep.”
