Shane Gillis: Beautiful Dogs

I won't over complicate it: this is a guy completely unafraid of comedy in 2023, and it's downright refreshing.

I cannot believe the tightrope that he has to walk for some of these jokes, but the fact that he keeps going and is unapologetically just doing whatever he has to do to get a laugh out of the audience is a comedian who understands that he's not a philosopher or a politician: he's a jester. Shane Gillis absolutely knocks it out of the park.

Keep an open mind and understand that this guy is just trying to make people laugh, and I assure you you'll have a good time. I'm at times surprised a company like Netflix even posted this.

I turned this on Netflix not sure if i'd like this guy or not.

He starts of by ripping us Aussies for five minutes - with a name like Shane I thought he might even be Australian - but bring it on big boy - we have thick skin :p

By the end, I had become his newest biggest fan. This guy is effing funny. Top of the heap funny. The last time I laughed this hard was when Bill Burr was in his prime.

And it felt like a new era of comedy - fear of cancel culture is in the rearview mirror, and all the better for it. No US-centric political lecturing of the audience, no virtue signalling, no vacuous pandering, and no throwing of stones from a glass house.

This is definitely someone to keep an eye on in the world of comedy. I think he's going to rise fast.

Will definitely watch this again in coming days. And already waiting for the next special.

Bravo Shane - top notch.

No idea who had to get strong armed into releasing this but I'm glad it happened. This was hilarious and a breath of fresh air. Gillis never missed a beat, he took chances and delivered on them, it was so fun that it ended before I knew it. The transitions between bits and the handling of what some might consider sensitive issues was masterful. This special is up there with the Norm MacDonalds specials and Sandler's 100% Fresh. Is it worth it a Netflix subscription considering how much garbage they produce? No. I would rather pay Gillis and have him retain total creative control than support Netflix and their steady stream of unwatchable specials.

Shane Gillis is off the charts and one of the funniest guys comedy has to offer. Not afraid to dive into touchy topics in a lighthearted manner. You always find people that go too far on either end of the spectrum (pun absolutely intended). They're either too afraid to make people mad or push it too far beyond what's acceptable. Gillis found and lives in that middle ground and it's awesome. The impressions were also spot on as always. Had me cracking up on a plane.

I will say some of his jokes fail to land, which could just be me personally. But overall very funny.

Definitely worth checking out and is one of the best specials I've ever seen on Netflix.

Shane's 2nd special lives up to the hype. I saw him perform this set live earlier this year in Pittsburgh when he was working on it for the special and I would say it's expertly crafted. He is well rounded when expressing his opinions to get his points across in a funny manner but also trying to not overtly offend anyone. Some people still may not love some of the subject matter but frankly those people need to lighten up. Shane's impressions are spot on, if you're able to watch this and not laugh I don't believe you have a pulse. Can't wait to see what the future brings for Shane Gillis. Excellent job Shane. Where the DAAAWWWGSSS AT.
