Date: July 17th, 2025 2:06 PM Author: bronze misunderstood area This is what's crazy is that Shane is an artist he has that awareness of what his predecessors achieved. He knows this goes down with Norm as one of the greatest ever. He knows they will be talking about this decades from now. The irony is that he's just doing his job the best he can the way any pro athlete does theirs. They go out and try and win championships, this is Shane doing the same. This is his job and he gets paid to be the best in the world at it. Drewski getting amped by this is proof that people who know comedy loved it. If these athletes knew comedy they would be dying. But it's just like people who don't know sports, if you don't watch sports you don't get it. If you don't watch comedy you don't get it.

|
Date: July 17th, 2025 2:14 PM Author: bronze misunderstood area Because his jokes were relatable to the black community and white people got it as well.
Shane is from the divided generation of American culture where half the country is sick of PC woke nonsense and the other half insists on it. Gillis is probably the top tier of his generation and the way he pulls it off is by bringing Trump era MAGA humor to the masses without crossing the line over into the alt right. Like his best friend has a black wife so he has one foot in with the progressive world and one foot in with rural Pennsylvania. Sam Hyde can make TND content and beg for scraps on his inscrutable third party website but Shane can go right up to the line and he knows where it is. He can cross it or not but his talent is remaining in control. He has ambiguity and plausible deniability but can still say shit the everyman is thinking about call out the hall monitors without devolving into a political rant like Anthony Cumia or Adam Carrolla. It takes a tremendous amount of talent to pull this off, to be the wildest white guy on SNL but not get written up in the New Yorker as some kind of abhorrent dissident to write off.
As to why the room isn't dying it's unfunny athletes and a very lib audience. This is a hostile crowd but it would be killing it anywhere else. |

Date: July 17th, 2025 4:08 PM Author: indigo cruel-hearted bbw temple This is CR
I think the other key thing here is that Shane doesn't really have a political axe to grind as such rather than just stirring the pot
So a lot of his provocations come off as exactly what they are--a guy trying to get away with something who can't believe you're letting him get away with it |
|
Date: July 17th, 2025 4:18 PM Author: bronze misunderstood area I agree completely. The magic is it not having a political angle as you said. Just be funny. There's actually an irony there because a lot of Black athletes these days have all these political angles (think Kyrie and his association with Kanye) and such and then people say, "Just shut up and play basketball" and they get all mad and rant about how they care more about The Revolution than being a great basketman. But Shane actually does shut up and tell jokes which is why it works.
Meanwhile, if you tune into Carolla this guy has so many opinions about the way the city of Los Angeles ought to fill in the potholes it's like dude - drop the act and just run for mayor at this point lol.
We could use a lot more comedians who are just there to tell jokes, a lot more niggerballers who just put the ball in the cup. You're never going to "win" the culture war or solve every societal ill. If you want to be Charlie Kirk, go all in. But I agree, separate politics from culture. Patrice had a great insight about this when he told a megashrew, "I know funny." Things are funny just because their funny. Movies are cool because they're cool. No one really knows how or why that magic happens (if they did, every movie/song/book would be genius, and they're not). But just stick to the art/game/what have you. We can all squabble about the politics online later. |

My guess is that he got into character and stood there and riffed for a while and then they took the footage and edited it down to the best parts. This isn't some masterpiece it's written and cut in a day at most. It might not all line up when the editor stitches it together. Anyway it was still funny. Lighten up.

i think trump jokes arent that funny anymore because he's played out. for years every comedian made jokes about how trump was bad, then everybody was making jokes about how he's kinda cool and funny once wokescolding ran its course, and now people are just kinda sick of hearing about him. |
