Shane's level of fame is more aligned with Joe Rogan's circle rather than the mainstream SNL crowd. So, why would that SNL crowd know that Shane is telling old jokes. By the way, even seasoned SNL hosts and cast members flub lines in skits. @@monotech20.14
hah, can totally see him doing that, but if he would follow it with "I'm kidding, here's my real monologue", it could be funny. i used to like, then hate bert, now weirdly I'm starting to realise that he's not actually an evil psychopath, unlike tom or shitulz
The zeitgeist needs me, as a leader and pioneer, to allow them to feel comfortable enough to laugh. They want yo laugh, but the overall societal pressures this generation faces makes it too difficult for them to truly let themselves experience joy. I alone can see this and solve it.
lol love that Luis said the quiet part out loud that everyone secretly resent Schulz and Berts success because no comic actually thinks they deserve it. Only time Shane is fake is pretending he doesn’t know Luis is right 😂 he’s too nice to shit on then publicly unless it’s too their face.
Louis CK once said on Opie and Anthony that the only way you can bomb on SNL is if you acknowledge that you’re bombing. The crowd is basically middle America tourists, but the viewing audience doesn’t know if you’re bombing or not unless they see the comic themselves make it obvious.
Great call back. Patrice on the other hand said the only way to avoid a bombing is to steer into it and if he's going down, he's taking everyone with him
@@Danimal28 I didn't know Patrice said that but doesn't suprise me that's why hes one of the GOAT's, i love the sentiment of "If i'm going down, i'm taking ya'll with me" 🤣
You can't even say the word gay without offending the mainstream. The only acceptable time to mention "gay" in stand up is when it's followed by a lecture and a Ted talk.. "comedy"
@@jcc3333yeah Shane’s prob next. It started when Louis called him out for reading ads in the middle of their podcast. Then he moved to Austin and it’s looking like he favors the money and Rogan distracting him so he can feel better about himself. 5 years and he’ll be another one of the greedy, hack 500
Agreed about Shane being humble. And even if it’s all an act, I’ll take Shane Gillis ACTING humble for 90 minutes over 4 minutes of Schultz waxing philosophical about how much his next gig is going to pay him.
@@glovesforsocks4603when has he mentioned his niece having downs? I've heard about his uncle, but if you've heard it "1,000" times you must go to every club he performs at 😂😂 Getting twisted over nothing
Blaming it on the crowd is weak imo...he was clearly a bit insecure and it showed when he kept nervously acknowledging the crowd and they picked up on his fear... ANY COMEDY AUDIENCE will turn on act if they look nervous or not funny, it's not a "SNL thing"
This is just proof SNL uses a laugh track for their whole show. It made no sense when he was saying people weren't laughing. It was the same laughing throughout the whole set.
its the same for his special. no one is laughing. thats why he says stuff like "oh you guys dont think thats funny?" while laugh track is got people howling. his last special was a dud.
@@overkill1025no that's just his style, his material is self deprecating even if the audience is laughing. He said on LOS that he thought he did great, and Shane rarely brags
Bro the way u read the ad promo is hilarious 😂 plus seeing how awful it looked on ur plate as opposed to how they advertise it on their plates was the best. 😂😅
hahahha cmon dude, everything is a win in your mind...i dont think he bombed but he certainly ws not trying to expose snl fake laughs in some genius ploy, LMAO- what a fan you are
That’s the thing though, none of us are professional comedians. It’s a lot weirder for someone who makes a living being on stage to be outwardly nervous. I get if you find it endearing, but it’s also essentially the opposite of professional. So idk.
@@kevinsmoon3257 not my point at all. The people before me were praising him for being an “everyman” for being nervous. And I’m saying that’s not the full picture.
@@kevinsmoon3257 “acting just how one of us would if it were us.” But why would it ever be us? We aren’t professionals. So to praise someone specifically for being nervous is just odd. He’s allowed to be. They’re^ allowed to praise him. And I’m allowed to critique comments on YT.
@@rainlemon its not that they rejected it .. theres a pecking order there. they dont let people jump in and take spots that shit is earned and i get it. who cares keep making gilly and keeves snl sucks ass
Shane’s monologue was funny. Yes, he was super nervous and at times it felt like it was gonna derail, but ultimately the whole thing was fun. It was a success. If anything I’d say his nervousness and laughing was all part of the SNL experience. It’s live, people break and go off script and that’s fun. This show was a huge moment for him and it showed, yet it was still a good time and that’s all that matters.
Felt like he was going to derail???? Are you serious dude LOL. This is such an overdramatic observation. It sounded natural and raw. Something SNL isn't used to because it's all scripted overhyped popular mainstream pussyfooting bs.
Shane didn't kill it but at the same time he showed why he really has the juice.. This appearance alone will give him 30 more minutes of material. His ability to stay funny when a crowd isn't w him is absolute elite. If he's got that norm trait that the more the audience woahs the funnier he gets
Did they even give him a chance to bomb? I thought it was hilarious "The lighting is very good in here, I can see how much you're all not enjoying this" is a hilarious joke in itself. Audience cracked up too
Bro, if I was the CEO of Factor I would be like, WTF!? This kid showed what our meals REALLY look like! Thanks 2lazy, you're a man of the people indeed.
@dogwklr I never learned how to cook. I coasted from my mom cooking for me to girlfriends cooking for me to a wife cooking for me. I kind of feel like I've won tbh
I remember in the Old Testament Shane talking about Bert saying he would take him on the road and then never calling. Once Shane got semi famous everyone jumped on board and now Bert discovered Shane.
Shane sells himself short & cushions the blow I feel like he’s more comfortable when he acknowledges it. Like the amount of time he goes “alright I thought it was funny” like a nervous tick even before his monologue.
It was genuinely not funny. And Shane is alright. He’s not exactly like the other 1000 comedians in the world, just alright. But he bombed regardless of the crowd.
@rickyboombotz8420because they are complaining about Shane on a comedy recap RU-vid channel, they clearly want to have a controversial opinion. Them not being happy in life is a pretty solid guess haha
akash lost his shit cause a nobody in his crowd was not laughing while others were. I think he would've attacked the audience if he was there 😄 why am I even commenting about non-comedians like him and shitulz I have no idea.. should stop
@@frankb2866he was playing the game show that displayed famous black people and Cleveland Brown from Family Guy was the only person his character recognized (he missed MLK and referred to him as, “Agh, yeah, that guy…”
@@independentRestorationServices Wasnt the whole bit that he actually knew who all the black people were but was too afraid to say the wrong name on television? Thats what he says at least and when the next lady goes up he immediately gets Basquiat who was much more obscure than the famous black people he had to choose from. Idk, I thought it was a pretty lame sketch that didnt have a strong premise or punch line and it just randomly ended, like half the other sketches. Hands down the best sketch was the Limu Emu one which didnt even air.
He has a whole new special and a new sketch comedy show coming out soon. We'll be alright til then. If a band plays SNL, they're going to play their current hit, not an unheard new song. Appearing on SNL is promotion. He did exactly the right thing by performing his most tested material to promote himself to a new audience. He _already_ has us as fans. He did SNL to get new fans. He wasn't there for us. He still had inside jokes for the real fans though - like naming his Trump character "Dwyer". LMFAO ....and just the fact that he spoke about certain subjects, said certain words, and made certain jokes during a SNL monologue was epic. That stuff more than made up for the lack of new material in the monologue. I've been watching SNL since the 90s and it was easily one of my favorite episodes just because of the lore and backstory alone. The sketches are almost irrelevant to me. People forget that comics scrapping all of their material and starting fresh every year is a relatively new thing. ..but we're spoiled AF by that and expect to hear brand new stuff every single time we see a comic - which is pretty impossible since we see them every day online.
It was funny, and some of the stuff we nevwr heard. Thats more then any of them do when getting that slot . He isn't standing as tall as louie or norm, but he also isnt as experienced as them. So i think he did great. I mean, lucky louie was rough around the edges, and then he polished it up with louie. Lets give the young bull, the same kid of opportunity. Although, with gilly and keeves and the Austin special, he is already one of the best to have ever done it. Top 100
I bet their sound guy mixes in canned laughs underneath the real ones when it’s like this. Also, the reason Shane is so universally liked is because he mentions the real stuff in the moment
theyve been doing this shit so long... can you imagine the braindead hosts theyve had? shanes monologue was probably like in the B tier compared to the usual hosts
People weren’t really laughing.. they added a laugh track after each joke so it sounded like he got laughs after each joke. Without the laugh tracks we would probably see why he kept thinking he was bombing
He got a bud light deal, got an snl spot, he's in full sellout mode, good for him. I guess millions from his touring wasn't enough, greed ruins everything
It’s obvious you’re not a fan, the man hasn’t changed in the slightest, he got a bud light deal because he only drinks bud light, he went on snl because they fired him a while back, selling out and having fun are very different things
@@burtreynolds8030I was listening to the pod back when the only place it was being promoted was Mainboard lmao. Shane spent the entirety of the old testament era of the podcast shitting on comedians who are doing exactly what he's doing now. It's good that he's getting the bag but to say he didn't change or sell out is an L take
"Comedy is back" is a wild way to describe the most average episode of SNL. Shane's a great fit for the show and it's funny to see fans act like he's some kind of outsider.
Well do I have to say it? This sounds a lot like norm MacDonald back in the 90s. Got fired from SNL for pushing the line with some dark humor that was in some moral grey areas to some. Comes back a year or two later to host and says that the show has gotten worse since he's left. Shane's set was pretty good, felt very much seen and played out before at SNL once before though.
It's pretty well known at this point, when they're auditioning new people for SNL, Lorne and the writers do not generally give feedback to the performers. Probably for this exact reason. They want people who will push through a mediocre response to represent that it's going perfect. If your first joke bombs and you start reacting to that response, you now jeopardize every other upcoming joke in the sketch.
My problem is that Shane bent the knee. He had a chance to cement himself as the number one alternative comedian but instead he went out there and played it as safe as possible. It was sad to see and you can really tell now that he desperately wants to be accepted by those kind of people.
Or he just wanted to have a good time? Because that’s always been who he was? Why does everything have to be this monumental event with you people, it’s a Saturday night set with his parents, what did you honestly expect, a tin foil hat?
@@youngkirksJim Carrey did the same routine for over 10 years... Before the internet, a comedian could do the same set for decades, because every town they roll into is a new town with new people. So no, that's not how comedy works. Sometimes it takes a comedian over 5 years of repetition to tighten up a full hour set...
Shane is hilarious. Monologue was funny. He didn't seem nervous at all even though he said he was. He's a professional comedian, he's used to it. He landed it
1.) Monologue was recycled material and was pretty weak. 2.) Absolutely seemed nervous 3.) Professional Comedian = 1 of 1000 people in the world that can do this 4.) Didn’t land it
@@poopoomangioneagree to disagree, but it was funny, I don’t think anyone understands your 1 in a thousand people point you keep commenting, because it doesn’t make sense, you can’t name 1000 people funnier than Shane, you can’t even name 1000 people with an HBO or Netflix special
@@burtreynolds8030 You new to the standup scene? Joe Rogan (including others close to him) all constantly talk about how standup comedians are different than regular old civilians. They often speak about how there are only 1000 people in the world who can do standup comedy 😂
As for the Band: I'm a guitarist who plays in a live church band. They are musicians in a live national broadcast TV show, so would be wearing high-end noise cancelling in-ear monitors. Some of them may not even have the MC microphone in their mix. So would legit be hearing nothing except themselves, music director, other musicians, and maybe a producer.
There was definitely a laugh track pumped in, you could hear the laughter abruptly stop before his next joke - too perfect of a “cut off.” That being said - Go Shane.
@@NotAfraid280 For most network live TV it's actually slightly behind so they can censor words if need be or in this case add laugh tracks to mask an unresponsive audience
It’s still “I’m only joking liberals, please don’t hate me, I’m just a big dumb out of shape jock, am I right?” type humor. Everything has to be cringe now.
I don't mind Shane, but he is the best example that "getting cancelled" is the best thing that can happen to your career in comedy. He is "the funny guy at work" tier. Which is nice, but he is no Patrice, Carlin etc.
Some of Shanes friends have pulled Shane up about saying “oh I just bombed on stage” when he didn’t bomb . He’s just his own toughest critic . Keep on killing it Shane .
I thoroughly enjoyed his bit on there. He showed up doing exactly what id expect Shane Gillis to do. I think some of his remarks about the crowd were sarcastic, irony and sarcasm are some of his trademark qualities afterall.
The only person who should be concerned about how much the audience laughed is Shane, because it's gotta suck performing before a crowd who ain't into you, but I don't need anybody's laughter to tell me whether I think something's funny or not.
I feel like Shane did not perform for the studio audience but for millions of normal people watching it later on twitter, willingly or not, he just reinforced his brand of being one of the relatable guys instead of becoming a celebrity type of a guy like Schultz did. I bet miliions of people watched that and thought - ey he is just like me, one of us is on tv! This goes so well with that Bud Light sponsorship, might be real real genius move or might be real, works both ways.
I have a handicap sister who was born with cerebral pausey and I made my graduation project about her. I had a video camera and I asked her questions about how she felt using crutches and a walker, foot braces ect. For the first time I was able to see my sister Stevie for the first time.she was so honest and said she wished more ppl would treat her like a normal person and not a handicap person. I had every person in that room in tears and I had a new respect for her.
I have a friend with Cerebral Palsy, I make fun of him all the time. He's a comedian so he loves it. He hates when people look at him but never say anything, they just eye-pity him. His best joke on stage that goes like this, "People ask me how I can be so religious, given my current circumstance. I'm a stand up comedian, and I can barely stand up. In the Bible it says that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. So sure, I'm retarded, but on the other hand, I have a massive cock. So it's all about balance and perspective really."
My favorite thing about Shane is that he seems like a genuinely nice and down to earth person. So many of the comedy podcast types are so cynical and schmucky and Shane doesn’t get dragged down into their shittines while still being funnier than them
At the end of shanes monologue, as it was cutting to commercial, he looked at someone behind the camera and did a “so-so” hand gesture. He knew it didnt go great.
Okay so amazing video as always. However, can we all just stop and appreciate the absolutely fucking STUNNING person in the MCR shirt stealing the show?! The expressions alone oh my LAWD!
They probably paid people in the audience not to laugh. That monologue was HILARIOUS! Wasn't exactly "perfect" cause he had mostly fake ppl in the audience and he was clearly nervous. Overall?I'm proud of my DAWG. 🤷♂️ Also, proud of YOU for still showing and growing, you monotone beautiful bastard! 💯
I personally feel that bringing Shane on SNL was a way to capitalize off his name and simultaneously sabotage him. They fired him, then gave him a platform and rope to hang himself. It wasn’t a good monologue. It was good in the sense that he got through it as nervous as he was. The laughter we could hear is a shit laugh track that they use for most snl hosts. He plowed through that set, so props to him. What’s worse is the monologue was the best part of his episode. They didn’t give him any funny sketches. None of the sketches made me so much as crack a smile, and usually Shane can get that out of you whether he’s trying or not.
When someone doesn't laugh at a joke, mentioning the non laughter can be a way to reach for an extra laugh. Like missing a high five and going for a 2nd one and connection. It's a smart tactic.
The monologue was funny but might not have performed well which is fine. The biggest takeaway is that the sketches were good which is few and far between in the last couple seasons of SNL
The biggest problem with Shane's monologue is that he isn't Norm MacDonald. Which isn't his fault. A lot of people wanted him to be the guy, like it was vengeance day, when he's just a guy trying to make it work.
Why is SNL such a big deal to Shane? He said he was nervous about it but he seems like he is bigger than SNL now, at least bigger than anyone who is on it.
But he does live all the time for bigger audiences...maybe its the set up and crowd. Like a EDM DJ playing a set for a bunch of 60 year olds who want jazz@@igot5onit423
I laughed more at this monologue than I have at all of Rogies specials combined. The awkwardness was apparent though. I think he uses the “people aren’t laughing” as a joke as well. He means to poke fun at the awkwardness.
