shane gillis is the funniest, most self aware, relatable comedian today and it’s not even close. and it is hilarious how many people with only surface level knowledge of him hate him, and think he’s maga, because they haven’t ever actually watched one of his specials or seen any of the thousands and thousands of podcast episodes he’s done. he’s so opposite of what they think he is it’s hilarious. he’s self deprecating, self aware, and he likes to rile people up with a wink and a smile. the people who fall for it and get all upset over him or claim he’s not funny are only further proving how funny he is.
i mean, on his very first special he straight up came out and said that he did not vote for trump, and then made fun of trump voters by going, “i know, it’s surprising, look at me, i’m his target demographic. they’re just like, “hey, are you fat and stupid?”, i’m like, “yeah! hell yeah! what are we doing? we building a wall?”, and yet here we are years later and half the population still thinks he’s a maga guy and are all upset about it.
remember when maga cancelled bud light? what did shane do? he kept drinking it so publicly that they made him their spokesperson. he did that, despite everyone around disavowing bud light for being “woke”. hell. earlier this year he actually got seriously upset on his podcast (which is super rare for him when he’s sober lol) at how ridiculous trump’s cabinet were all acting at some ufc event. he was legit pissed and kind of disgusted at how unprofessional and unbecoming it was for all of these trump appointees to be acting like idiot frat bros while front row at a ufc fight. and still, half the country thinks he’s maga because they’re too dense to understand that he’s making fun of maga and doing a bit.
the bottom line is this: every person i’ve ever known or seen who has actively disliked shane gillis is someone who i would derisively refer to as a SJW. everyone on this site knows my politics and what a i stand for, but really do hate the “perpetual uber victim” faction of left wing people who are triggered by everything, and straight up, if you actively dislike shane gillis then there’s a 95% chance that that’s you. if he’s not your cup of tea, that’s one thing. not every comedian is for everybody. but if you actively dislike him, you’ve probably never given him an actual look, and you’re probably the type of person who is just triggered by everything. lighten up.
