SHANE GILLIS?

The fact that Saturday Night Live dumped Shane Gillis before he could even be on the show isn't news, for two main reasons: nobody even knew who he was before, and Saturday Night Live ceased being worth watching ages ago. Trust me, that bigoted racist homophobe isn't a comedian, and SNL is strictly third rate. Listening to him going 'dude' for two minutes while spouting racist crap was, probably, as much a waste of time as my last meal at McDonalds several years ago. Much like the other clips I forced myself to hear.

Tasteless.

Before his mismatch with SNL was detailed, I had never heard of him. Now I've both heard of him, and heard him. And by this evening, I hope to have forgotten both of those things.

SNL getting rid of him was the right thing to do. Even if he wasn't a garbage human being puking slurs. Because he just isn't funny. Pointless and utterly humourless drivel under the wishful-thinking guise of "pushing envelopes".
With all the appeal of a stoned junior high under-achiever.

Dude. DUDE. Duude. Dude.

Maybe it was a fluke? Nope. Listened to several more clips, just to make sure I wasn't merely trigger-reacting. The man ain't funny. Hardly has a sense of humour, maybe no talent at all, but the best one can say about him is that he doesn't foul his pants going up on stage. If he did, he'd show us. Seems to have a basic sense of confidence being out there.

SNL probably thought he was malleable, and given how few people actually want to work with them, they were desperate. Warm bodies.


DUUUDE. Dude. Duuude. Dude-dude.


He's probably gotten more views in the last twenty four hours than in his entire previous life. This is the pinnacle of his success, his ten minutes, this is as good for him as it will ever get.

Toadilly, dude.

People like him are why I stopped watching Comedy Central.

He should go back to junior high.

Dude.
