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
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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
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.
Predictive programming is a technique used by elites to... I wldv been gobsmacked had this not had any comments. Altho, I was expecting a bit of funny but not complaining bc my comment not funny so...
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 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.
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.
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.
Dude seriously reminds me of dudes I'd hang out with in the Army. Smart, but also pretty stupid. Being able to do with his standup what good conversations can bring you is amazing
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.❤❤
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
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!
@@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
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
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.
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.
The fact that he put this on TH-cam for free was such a smart move. He’s huge now and everyone loves him and I feel like a large part of that is because of how easily accessible this special is. Shane Gillis forever baby 👍
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.
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.
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
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 5th or 6th time I'm watching this special. From start to finish. Man, I just can't stop laughing, one of the timeless classics in comedy! Thank you, Shane!
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
@@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 TH-cams 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!
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.
if U think this is funny then I have a condo on UrAnus to sell ya he is good podcast guest but if this is his "SPECIAL" only thing is that it shows he's 'Special" aka "Touched aka "Toked" he sounds like Nancy Pelosi trying to tell a joke
@@iwatchyoutube6539 I’m a huge fan of comedy, I’d say this one is up there with Patrice O’Neil’s ‘Elephant in the Room’, Bill Burr’s ‘Why Do I Do This?’, and Jim Jefferies’ ‘Bare’. It’s super well honed, crushes for 45 mins straight!
@@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.
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 :)
"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.
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.
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
Relatable bro. First birthday and Christmas with no family or friends, really messed me up. Shane just made me remember life is still full of fun and wonder, I just have to get back out there. Blessings to you, it'll get better, my brother.
@@Bernacide ACTUALLY THERE IS A TON OF POSITIVITY IN THE COMMENTS. IF YOU WERENT SO ENGULFED IN NEGATIVE CONTENT MAYBE YOU COULD SEE THAT YOU DONUT. (totally jk)
I grew up watching Farley, Carey, Sandler, Rock, Murphy, and so on. Despite all the laughs they provided, you are BY far my favorite comedian. In my book, my friend, you are the GOAT. I've laughed SO EFFIN HARD from watching your stand up SO MANY times that I literally felt ill. Now that's what the F I'm talkin bout. haha
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.
"Madea goes to the moon" and John Cena joke almost killed me with laughter. I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard for a special. You deserve way more man
I’ve watched it like 4 times now and I burst out laughing at different parts of it every time I watch. Like literally laugh out loud by myself. I never do that lol.
It’s easy to forget just how great this is, the special as a concept and form is now rather depreciated, still this is tight a 48, and something for everyone … closing on something for nobody.
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
It’s usually hard to laugh by yourself watching a special through a tv but this was by far the funniest comedy, cheeks hurting, LAUGH OUT LOUD special hands down!!
Yeah I’m 38 and jaded, seen all the great stand up specials and even some of the best you don’t necessarily laugh out loud if you’re alone but this special I was losing it the whole time. Shane is special man
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

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.
Right? Gotta be like the 20th time ive watched and the John Cena bit still has me in tears.
I laughed harder the second time. Such a good point

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.
Shane just casually putting out the best standup special in years on TH-cam for free is a real move. Hope great things happen for this dude.

He is making more money doing this than a netflix deal heaps of comedians are doing this now independently
@@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
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.

Congrats on your sobriety!
The camera man is wild 😂 "a cheeseburger could cut you off on the highway" look who the camera pans to 😂😂 12:13
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
I didn’t think there was a comment that better described what I was thinking and doing to a tea .. 😂 thank you
Same here! It's a beautiful thing and you can find comedy in everything.
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.

@@matthaeus428 John Cena does things similar to make-a-wish where he’ll meet really sick / dying fans to cheer them up
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.
The fact that he put this on TH-cam for free was such a smart move. He’s huge now and everyone loves him and I feel like a large part of that is because of how easily accessible this special is. Shane Gillis forever baby 👍
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.
This is better than anything I've seen on Netflix in a long time. The entire set was awesome.
Comment
TH-cam 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 dude single-handedly filling the hole Norm Macdonald left in my heart
RiP

Yes!! You nailed it!!!
What happened with norm!?
Have you seen Shane’s new one Beautiful dogs?

Thanks Southside 609, I'm sure everyone'll fuckin listen to you
@@ethanbill9224 😂😂😂

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.
“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

It's like a 6/10 at best. Widen your interests whitey
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.

27:50 aged quite well. Still relevant.

Shout out to the dawgz
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.

He's a real human bean
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 TH-cams 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!
Has to be one of today’s best comedians. Extremely talented and hilarious.
And the best part is hes politically correct
Whoever produced the music for this show is a legend. It just makes you feel like everything's gonna be alright man. Its all good.
Damn, you put it into words so well! 👏🏻
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.
This is definitely one of the funniest specials ever. Killing it.
if U think this is funny then I have a condo on UrAnus to sell ya he is good podcast guest but if this is his "SPECIAL" only thing is that it shows he's 'Special" aka "Touched aka "Toked" he sounds like Nancy Pelosi trying to tell a joke

You don't watch much stand up comedy I guess.
It really is...
@@iwatchyoutube6539 I’m a huge fan of comedy, I’d say this one is up there with Patrice O’Neil’s ‘Elephant in the Room’, Bill Burr’s ‘Why Do I Do This?’, and Jim Jefferies’ ‘Bare’. It’s super well honed, crushes for 45 mins straight!
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
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 👍🏻
14:12 I wonder if Shane could even imagine there was a possibility he'd be sitting across from Alabama Jones on ESPN Game Day 😅
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 :)

@@CaliJirka I believe he means like when the cast of avengers go to sick kids when They’re at the end stage of their lives.
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.
It's been a great year for Shane's dad and the news!
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
You can tell it's "bits" but the way he flows is exactly like your friend telling you a funny story
Exactly. Shane is uber talented and funny sonofagun

It’s easy to forget just how great this is, the special as a concept and form is now rather depreciated, still this is tight a 48, and something for everyone … closing on something for nobody.
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

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
It’s usually hard to laugh by yourself watching a special through a tv but this was by far the funniest comedy, cheeks hurting, LAUGH OUT LOUD special hands down!!
