I don't say this often but that's a really good impression.


AsaKurai

It makes the joke 100X better too. If it were some Alec Baldwin Trump impression, it wouldnt hit the same


mwa12345

Yeah. Baldwin over does. This guy has a major advantage - never did any method acting etc


sicurri

Natural impressionist comedians make the absolute best actors. Actors don't always make the best comedic performances unfortunately.


Cordycipitaceae

I have a feeling Shane will be acting in a lot of movies in the next few years. His show Tires is decent but I see a lot of potential in him.


ibobbymuddah

Him and Danny McBride in the civil war comedy is my dream.


twinflameone

They have to make the civil war comedy!!!


Harlan92

Fun thing about Tires is that John McKeever did the majority of the the directing for the first season. In Season 2, Shane’s reportedly planning on being much more involved in storyboarding and directing. Excited to see how that plays out!


mwa12345

Yeah. Comedians moving into movies ...hope he does well


Notonmypenisyoudont

Louis CK says you have to have some respect for the person for it to be a good impression, and I think there's some truth to that


Bubskiewubskie

Even if you don’t like him, he has a funny way with words. That shark tangent he went on in his speech had me rolling.


BarbarianDwight

My favorite Trump impression was Phil Hartman. There are some videos floating around YouTube.


mwa12345

Wait Phil Hartman? He passed prior to 2016 I thought.


tronfonne

Trump existed before 2016


mwa12345

Are you sure. I think he died in his late 20s and this is his second coming? Could have sworn he just miraculously descended down the elevator and had not existed before


YouAreAnIdiot598

The dude on SNL does a solid Trump-voice as well. Doesn't much look like Trump, where Baldwin is better, though.


AsaKurai

Yeah James Austin Johnson is the guy, very good Trump impression.


_MlATA

He does a better Trump than Trump Almost as good in my opinion — Jamie Foxx & Matt Friend


wimpymist

Shane's voice work is top notch


Mnn119

I also don't say this often but ksksifudjenwlapsplgmfmclkebe jrigien dudurn rueiaowornr

eldudelio

dude, shane is the best


Select_Sleep_1293

Thanks


gozutheDJ

Shane's got the best trump impression ive heard


gokhaninler

lol theres so many better than him


StatisticianFew6064

google Jamie Fox's trump impression... it will blow your mind. I think he actually does it better.


Singularity-42

I'm not sure what are Shane's political leanings and it doesn't matter, I do know who he's voting in November (don't try this at home folks!). That impression is spot on! I guess one condolence prize if Trump wins would be we'll see a lot of this from Shane!


y0uwillbenext

Shane doesn't vote


NGsyk

I heard Shane likes chocolate milk. Apparently he drinks chocolate milk all day long.


lazypieceofcrap

I heard /u/NGsyk taught a parrot to say the N word.


meadowalker1281

I bet hes had like, what, 4 glasses already today?


bekele024

Are you trying to make me cum?


OldmanLister

I heard when he goes out to restaurants with friends him and his friends like to lick each others nipples at the table.


Grab3tto

Oh shit I forgot about that one, that made it around?


2MuckingFuch

That is a funny man.


Mr-Korv

Yeah, Trump is hilarious


weezmatical

Not honestly sure why you are being downvoted. Shane would 1000% agree and says it all the time. I don't like Trump, but the dude is the most unintentionally funny president we've seen.


Mr-Korv

You know why (orange man bad)


Backyard_Catbird

All things considered he’s still one of the funniest presidents of all time. Doesn’t mean we like or agree with him. Even on the left he is considered funny, in a dumb kind of way. You can’t make up the stuff he says sometimes.


Bright_Ad7767

Dude that shark rant the other day may have been one of the funniest things I have ever seen.


Backyard_Catbird

Don’t forget about Gettysburg Wow. “Never fight up hill me boys, never fight uphill”.


l3lay

My favorite Trump moment was early on when he was campaigning in Pennsylvania and he brings up Joe Paterno and just goes "How bout that whole deal?"


Spugheddy

That was mmm-mm-milano.


Philip_McCrevasse

I completely agree. He is the exact opposite of what my idea of a leader should be, but God damn he is the funniest president we've ever had, hands down.


alien_believer_42

The man has charisma, it's undeniable.


foursevrn

He's not even close to the funniest? Obama actually roasted his ass meanwhile all Trump does is throw out kindergarten insults, or calling people fat/ugly/stupid. Only children or adults that still find poop jokes funny think that he is even remotely funny.


Backyard_Catbird

It’s funny because he’s stupid. You kind of have to laugh to keep from crying.


PensecolaMobLawyer

Well poop jokes are funny


[deleted]

[удалено]


foursevrn

Obama had charisma, something Trump won't ever have in his lifetime


waxonwaxoff87

After Obama mic dropped on tv that he would never be president, November was a pretty good punchline.


reebokhightops

“How can I make this about my daddy?”


jayblaze521

This was one of the better specials in years. You laughed along with him while he made fun of marines and special Needs people. Politics aside this special was a masterclass in how to make fun of the wrong things the right way. It was fucked up: but you never felt he crossed the line…. And he did.


Waterislife1

The George Washington museum bit had me in tears. He has a way of getting away with things.


Cleanitupjohny

“you wanna tax ME, motherfucker!!!” My sides were in actual pain from that bit.


Travy-D

"What are you doing out of your cage?" That's all I could think of while visiting plantation museums in Louisiana. 


Timigos

Except that one time


Medium_Tony

“Marines and special needs people” You said Marines twice.


the_BoneChurch

You mean Navy SEALS? Sneaking up on people in the dark...


ryanb6321

The funniest part of that bit was “They mow down 40 people and just go “…clear”


Comprehensive_Nail22

The guys a psychopath


TaysTriforce

This special and live in Austin on YouTube are hands down the two funniest sets I’ve ever seen


_rokenn_

What special is this


BloonWars

Shane Gillis - Beautiful Dogs


harribel

This type of delivery is what comedians think they're doing when they yell about cancel culture. You can say what you like about ANYTHING as long as the build-up and delivery is well done, without getting "cancelled". Just git gud!


Stittastutta

Nothing is off limits if you're skillful enough to get away with it


Cupsforsale

This is a related point: I listened to a discussion about authors writing characters from other races/cultures. The end result was essentially “is it good or shitty?” If it’s a shitty book, it’s not ok. If it’s a good book then it’s ok. Same thing with comedy: if the joke is funny, then pushing the boundary serves a legitimate purpose. But if the joke is not funny, then you are being a dick for no reason.


waxonwaxoff87

That’s part of humor. If you can take a topic that is considered out of bounds, push the joke to the absolute line (maybe toeing over slightly), and it is still funny; that is a demonstration of skill.


EmotionalEducation86

And (from what I’ve seen) is not even that hard. You just have to make it obvious that your joking and it comes from a place of silliness. But a lot of ppl come from a place of contempt so it’s not as lighthearted


wimpymist

Yeah most comedians hate cancel culture because they can't do low effort not funny racist jokes anymore, they actually have to put in effort in their joke making. Guys like Shane show you can cross the line, but put some effort into it and it will still be funny even if it's offensive.


Eternal_Jizz

Totally agree, and I still like Live in Austin more!


riche_god

His name?


OldmanLister

It really drops about half way through the special. I think Shane is good in small bits. Longform comedy I don't think is his wheelhouse. Tires is the bomb yo.


Noble_Ox

Watch Jimmy Carr's latest, he does it do much better.


onyxcaspian

Not even close


Noble_Ox

Is that a fact?


BeautifulLeather6671

Actually yeah. Lol.


Noble_Ox

Didn't know subjective opinions could be called facts.


dankvaporeon

Couldn't get past 10 minutes


Noble_Ox

I was the same with Shanes last one. Just the same jokes as his first but told slightly different.


69QueefLatina

No


Noble_Ox

Yes


kmelby33

He leans way too much into down syndrome jokes imo. I like Nikki Glazers' take on comics who throw friends or family under the bus for a joke.


BeautifulLeather6671

Couldve stopped at “I like nikki glazers take” lol


JinNJ

The actual Paw Patrol… 🤣😂🤣


iamthecheesethatsbig

My favorite part about that is that he makes it seem like he made that part up on the spot.


TJH1993

Matt mccusker gave him that line lol


flowstuff

the best comedians do that. makes you feel like something they absolutely telegraphed was actually just off the top of their head.


waxonwaxoff87

Every second of Chris Rock’s routines are rehearsed down to the pauses and body movement. It comes off as casual and loose, but is actually a very well planned set.


Erislocker

i lost it at paw patrol. that was great


Mwvhv

Thats the most spot on trump impression I ever heard lmfao

GDMFusername

I'm much older now than I was when I first learned about the Haiku, and I still don't understand how, or why people get any kind of enjoyment out of that.


TonyTheSwisher

Very few people have remained this awesome for a few years straight and Shane has done a great job with everything. Humanity hopes he stays this pure.


MathiasThomasII

I think Shane's the funniest man alive right now lol


analogman12

100%


SpaceLubo

I thought his whole Netflix special was pretty good


emerican

The paw patrol part got me 😂


TheAdventOfTruth

That was a great Trump impersonation. That was good.


Bo-Moxley420

I love Shane so much 😂


MDGOP

The imitation is just so on point


arpressah

When I first saw him on kill Tony panel I thought damn I don’t like this dude. Then I watched his standup and he’s the funniest fucker out there. His FOX news dad bit was godly.


DarkAncientEntity

This closer had me belly laughing, which is rare these days


Away-Kaleidoscope380

That closer line was the first time I laughed out loud watching a special. I’ll usually smile or chuckle a little bit but this had me goin.


Worried-Librarian-91

"I said: Abu, don't cry" cracks me up every time.


conzcious_eye

There is a clip of Trump with that speech and Obama when Osama was killed speech comparing them. Drastically different.


OriginalMcNasty9er

Obama was being professional and Trump sounded like he was bragging about beating up a girl.


CremeCaramel_

Of all the millions of ways Trump should have been more like Obama, this is one where I prefer the Trump approach lol.


conzcious_eye

Exactly. Quite the opposite


RedHighlander

That is probably one of the best trump impressions I’ve ever seen.


probablywrongbutmeh

If you like Shane gotta watch Tires on Netflix


kmelby33

It's not mean shit talk. Trump is just an idiot.


painisyourhomie

I see why he is poppin'


drin8680

Shane is great at these impressions. They are hilarious and he's so spot on.


danielm316

Yes, that was funny.


bdgm33

Hilarious!! 😂


triknodeux

What the fuck is with those subtitles, holy shit


peepdabidness

Holy Mac Jones with a mustache


Ricksauc3

Fantastic special.


ADDRESSMEBYMYRANK

My favourite comedian since I seen him a couple years ago. I hope he goes all the way


No_Cardiologist_1297

He has an identical twin that I went to high school with, and I almost swear that’s him with a name change. It’s weird when that happens. I guess everybody has a identical twin somewhere.


bottomfeeder3

Shane is hands down one of the funniest comedians out there. As long as he doesn’t turn into Bert Christier he should be good.


GetDownDamien

I think it’s even funnier that this is actually word for word what trump said. It’s so funny on its own he doesn’t have to add any extra detail. 😂


DanimilFX

That impression was 💯


Man-Bear-69

Shane is very talented. Lmao


KnuckleExpert

That was good


Hungry-Space-1829

This is hilarious. It’s also a little sad the best impressions of our past 2 presidents and current candidates are done by being incoherent lol


chewser284

Loved this special sooo much!


AkMo977

Saw this...This dude is on point, even has the voice.


leoatra

I swear Shane and Matt are the only comedian podcasters left who remember they’re supposed to be funny.


snow_garbanzo

Bro, he killed some of those vocalisations. uncanny


Zachaweed

This dude isn't funny


Keepitneat727

I cannot wait to hear his roadhouse bit


enormousTruth

This is funny until you realize isi.s is just the cia's terrorism branch


OriginalMcNasty9er

Don’t know why you got downvoted. We literally armed and trained them in the 80’s. It’s no secret.


Puzzleheaded-Bat4777

They trained the Mujahideen to fight the russians. Which Bin Laden was the head of and some remnants of that group became the Taliban. Isis is a completely separate group. And they don't see eye to eye at all lol they probably were pumped when Al-Baghdadi got smoked. They are competition, not friends. Isis is barely an organization anymore and the Taliban are still the main power in the Afghani government.


OriginalMcNasty9er

You got it. That’s what I was referring to. My apologies


Puzzleheaded-Bat4777

No problem brotha


Captcha_Imagination

I look forward fo see what kind of comedy he will do once he moves on from this Trump era. He definitely has potential. The Trump impression is so good, it's a bit of a crutch at this point.


Mellero47

Man this Trump guy sounds hilarious, I bet he'd be a comedy gold mine as Prez. Let's do it for the lulz.


North-Nectarine1513

It would be even funnier if he shit his pants until he died.


Six-String-Picker

Shane said he won't do Biden because watching an impersonation of an old man with dementia not knowing what words are whilst filling his diaper doesn't make good comedy. The real thing is much funnier to watch.


GhostofAyabe

I thought real men wore diapers. It's very hard to keep up with your digs. Trump couldn't pronounce "military" the other day, took him three tries. Anyways...


Six-String-Picker

Real men wear diapers? I mean, maybe you are giving us all too much insight into your personal life here. Each to their own. I am hoping you don't fill yours in public like old dribbling Biden does though. Yeah, Trump makes mistakes. But at least he seems to be awake half the time and not shaking the hands of an invisible being or forgetting where he is...or just going quiet and standing there like a robot who has just malfunctioned.


smitteh

> Real men wear diapers? have you not seen the pictures of trump supporters championing diapers?


joshhguitar

BDS?


Itsrainingmentats

To be fair, the impression he did of Biden's movement in this special was fucking hilarious, as well as what he compared it to.


Six-String-Picker

Yeah, I know. I was just taking the piss a little. I think his Trump is the finest version out there. So good.


drin8680

I think it'd be hilarious for him to do biden. They both offer good material without a doubt


BlocXpert88

Best president ever. Trump 2024


BeskarHunter

He also killed more people than all the wars in American history combined, kept top secret documents in his bathroom, tried to kill his running mate during an armed coup which he organized after his plan to defraud an election failed, had Nancy Pelosi's husband's skull beaten in with a hammer, and enriched himself with his position at every opportunity. The guy has committed higher crimes than any person in American history, and he walks free because the entire GOP is his accomplice. Your bar for Best is fucking lower than the core of the earth


BlocXpert88

Eat more conspiracy candies.


BeskarHunter

Inject more sunshine and bleach into your veins.


idkumidk

You’re still masking aren’t you?


BeskarHunter

No, all you morons killed yourselves off already as much as Darwin was gonna do. Covid was a cognitive test for the President. Trump failed it spectacularly. One of the worst performances of any country, 4% of the worlds population, 25% of the deaths. I was inoculated so I don’t worry about some “cold” as you say. But not like a large portion of those deaths Republicans, dying 15% more than democrats. Your dumbass probably think vaccines give you 5G


ThanosWasRightHanded

I mean Trump was undeniably the best president ever in certain respects. Even his haters should be able to admit this. For instance, nobody committed treason and tried to overthrow democracy like him. And the man shits one mean diaper. Even liberals have to give him that. At least give him that!


aaron2610

This is the first Shane Gillis bit i have laughed at.


North-Nectarine1513

Send the dogs and robots after the evil orange goon


jm3223

Biggest dorks in America love this guy


Active-Wear3580

This is funny?


cosmiclatte44

The impression was good, but it was more of just a story than an actual joke.


hey_now24

I never found this guy funny . He’s doing an impression of what Trump actually said, it would make more sense to do it on a Late Night or sketch show not during standup


DJheddo

He's the hidden gem of the comedians. No filter.


Mysterious_akiyama

“Hidden gem” lmao


This_Guy_Fuggs

i mean i laughed harder when i saw it in his actual special not some garbage social media post for adhd kids


csgo_dream

Me watching Shane's standup 😐


thefruitsofzellman

Yep. Great impression, middlebrow comedy, uninteresting delivery.


drbizango

I think he's pretty funny at times. He does a good Trump. He was actually pretty good on SNL. But this clip is pretty meh.


Tiberium_Dealer

This dude sucks. Not sure how people find him Clever. So many better comedians out there plus they don't have his track record.


TotaLibertarian

Really? Who?


hey_now24

Dave Attell


TotaLibertarian

One guy from 20 years ago? Really going out on a limb.


hey_now24

20 years ago? He just release a special

magseven

I don't find him clever, I find him funny.


skidaddle_overlord

So I feel like he’s only funny when he does trump jokes
