those are pretty embarrassing comments from bill burr.  no one is saying they don't have starbucks, dude.  the issues are a little heavier.  i'm in favor of a bit of a cultural exchange and want to encourage Saudis in taking steps to westernize, so i don't really oppose our comedians doing this stuff.  but he doesn't need to come back here and tell us they are totally on the up and up.  the whitewashing is exactly what everyone's concern was.

his story is hilarious (he has an absolutely stacked resume full of stuff he never actually did), and all around he just seems like the most regular guy comedian ever. i love his style, just super relatable. his standup special from austin was great. this story of his kills me every time though:

really really like this guy. i hope he becomes a mainstay in austin with joe rogan's new comedy club and running. i saw that he's already performed there once, so maybe it'll happen. 

the story in the op and the following story are what got me into shane in the first place. he’s just so funny, and he doesn’t have to try to be.

You've clearly done a deep dive on Shane Gillis. Glad you like him so much. 

From my limited view, it has felt like he's tried to ride that line a little bit politically, while also capturing the Barstool sports bro culture. He rose to fame through Joe Rogan's comedy circle and I've seen Gillis on a couple of painfully unfunny Kill Tony episodes that my BIL asked me to watch. I don't like Joe Rogan or the Kill Tony dude. I think they are really shitty. Gillis might be the outlier, but the company you keep kinda matters to me. So I've chosen to not pay much attention to him.

What you described is exactly my problem with Shane Gillis. He's an opportunist and hedges as much as possible. 

The dude moved to Austin for the comedy scene, and now spends his time shitting on Austin and the comedy scene. He joined the Rogan circle and now is trying to worm his way out of it. He makes fun of Trump but thinks Trump is hilarious. He doesn't want to lose his Trump supporter frat bros or the "liberals" who aren't hyper aware of the comedy/podcast scene and just see his TV appearances.

what, exactly, did he say there that has y’all posting this? “nick fuentes is funny.” i watched all six minutes and that’s the most damning thing he said. is that it?

Very cool to go on Rogan, bring up Nick Fuentes, and then placate Joe's attempt to normalize him.

man, you are so invested in shane being some hateful conservative, it’s wild. and all it’s doing is having us rehash the same exact argument over and over and over. the guy who doesn’t pay attention to shane gillis keeps coming back to insist that he’s this hateful maga guy, then i allude to the million facts which refute this idea. rinse and repeat.

he just did a whole ass segment on his MSSP podcast about how he can’t stand the holidays anymore because of all of his maga relatives. he shits on maga constantly. he’s openly liberal. accept it. or don’t. but for gods sake, get over this wild crusade to prove that this guy you don’t even follow is someone he’s not. “he went on rogan’s show and then didn’t shut rogan down when rogan tried to normalize nick fuentes!” omg, that definitely means he’s maga and totally trumps every single other thing he’s ever said or done which irrefutably proves he’s not a conservative, or what’s more, maga. yeah right.

also, on this same episode of rogan shane brought up the plaques which trump installed, which rogan hadn’t seen. they pulled them up and read them aloud and talked about how batshit crazy it is. rogan said that this is bad “because it opens the door for democrats to do the same thing when they get in office.” shane replied with, “nobody is going to do what trump is doing.” then rogan yelled back at him that gavin newsome would absolutely put up plaques about trump. of course shane chose not to fight back super hard at this point, because that would be dumb and pointless, so if you watched that clip you’d probably still come away angry and alleging that shane is maga for not pushing back harder.

Your reading comprehension is terrible. I don't think Shane Gillis is a hateful MAGA guy. I think he insincerely straddles the line politically to absorb as many fans as possible. That's been my annoyance with him, this was just another example. I mean, he's still going on Rogan's show??

“that’s the truth though, it’s like yeah; illegal immigration, we should fix that. don’t fucking make it funny; it’s a serious thing. it’s a serious thing you’re doing.”

yeah he’s totally maga. 🙄🙄🙄

@Hank Kingsley name anyone who’s trying to play both asides who says stuff like this. literally anyone who tries to pander to both conservatives and liberals. name one single person who does that who talks like this. literally one. you can’t.

and i think that you summed it up best when you admitted that you don’t follow shane gillis, ipso facto you don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re simply being an all-too-easily offended libtard who’s on the hunt to find anything that will support his admittedly uneducated point. “every now and then shane gillis comes off as mildly conservative, he plays both sides!!!!”.

no he doesn’t. you are wrong, and it isn’t up for debate. shane gillis is openly, LOUDLY anti-maga, and the only reason you don’t know that is because, again, you don’t pay attention to him, and you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about, nor do you desire to. i abhor maga, but i 100% understand why people like you and arguments like this one make them hate liberals. you are actively looking to be offended as opposed to looking for the truth. you’ve come to the conclusion before looking at the facts, and are searching for anything to support your conclusion as opposed to looking at the facts and then forming a conclusion. that’s what republicans do. stop it. it’s embarrassing.

Edited by Derka

the bottom line is this: the fact that you think that somebody who constantly shits on trump and his entire cabinet “tries to play both sides” says it all. i can’t even name anyone who tries to play both sides in 2025, in fact i can’t even fathom how anyone could possibly try to play both sides in this day and age. you really can’t appeal to both sides in 2025.

but what’s so aggravating is that you’ve zoned in on the one guy who is even mildly joe rogan adjacent who very very clearly and openly shits on republicans •all•of•the•time• and you’ve made up your mind that he’s the one guy trying to have it both ways. you think that the guy whose main podcast is him and his two great friends: 1)a liberal white guy who’s well read and married to a black woman and has mixed babies and 2)a soft spoken black nerd who loves comicons and shit, is “trying to play both sides. you are wrong. irrefutably, unarguably wrong. i am completely baffled that someone like you whom i generally respect can have such an obviously terrible, biased, slanted, clearly wrong take.

shane gillis is an artist whose work i very much enjoy and appreciate, and i don’t like it or take it lightly when people make baseless, heinous accusations about him. if you can’t relate to that then you can fuck off. you aren’t adding anything here.

Shane Gillis. The da Vinci of our time.

Holy shit, Derka.

I don't take back a word I said. You are projecting and kind of losing your shit here. I'l happily bow out of this thread if this is upsetting you so much. Good grief.

Don’t question the artistic genius of Shane Gillis. He’s a delicate genius and must be aggressively defended.
