What do you think of Shane Gillis


If you do find him funny, could you define what it is he says or does that is ? Or provide an example. He definitely has his fans. His hosting on SNL earlier this year, though, was a bust.

For some reason, he bugs the shit out of me.

I saw one of his comedy specials, Shane Gillis: Beautiful Dogs, and thought it was pretty funny. Haven't seen much of him other than that.

I've got some laughs out of some things I've seen him in, but I'm not that familiar with his work in general.

I thought this airplane skit he did was funny:

Yeah, I find that nothing but annoying. Different strokes...

I like him in Tires, not really seen him in anything else though.

He makes me laugh sometimes.

That was a good one.

He's a gross-out guy. That seems to be his entire schtik. A sweaty ugly disgusting pasty foul-mouthed goober.

His admitted appeal totally escapes me.

I liked some of his skits (Gilly & Keeves) and have watched some of his stand-up, but he laughs way too much at his own stuff. I watched this series he did with Louis CK about Presidents, and there were many errors, but he can be funny at times, but I'd watch a repeat of Mort Sahl before I watch him.

I like some of his skits & some of his jokes but I don't think I'd call myself a fan.

I don't dislike his humor, it just doesn't "hit" quite right.

I KNOW HIS NAME FROM POSTS HERE...OTHERWISE...NO CLUE WHO THIS DUDE IS.

meh.

reply

Same. I’ve tried to get him. Genuinely tried. But I just don’t find many of his bits all that funny

reply

To me, beyond that, they're not just not funny, but the mean-spiritedness seems to be his idea of the kernel of the joke.

reply

I’m a conservative and supposedly his audience but i just don’t think making fun of mentally disabled people is all that entertaining

reply

Yeah, I get that too. Baffled at his appeal.
