It's some of the least funny discussion about less than nothing I've heard in a long time.
I'd love to know what is brave about being a racist. What other garbage behavior can we qualify as "risk-taking"?
"Sure I throw my garbage at sleeping homeless people. I just gotta take risks!"
You know what's another sad thing about all this? People are gonna use this dipshit as a poster-child for the evils of "cancel culture" when, really, after leaving SNL for ANY reason, he'll make a cottage industry out of being the comic who got "cancelled" out of SNL.
And then he'll land a Netflix standup special called "Triggered" or "Cancelled" or some shit.

Seen some comedians and stuff defending him on twitter like "we all do hundreds of hours of free comedy and then they dig up one stupid thing we said and cancel us"
i've been posting shit on the internet since I was a dumb 14 year old and I've never done anything nearly as fucking awful and racist as this trash clip.

What stands about this to me, is that he's essentially saying that he's not being honest with his comedy. "I'm just trying out stuff".
I'm not a comedian, but people have said I'm funny, and I never say shit I don't find funny myself. I don't say racist shit because I don't find it funny.
How is using slurs and racist stereotypes that were old before world war 2 pushing boundaries?
Yeah but that has a very low ceiling, especially if you want to break out from standup. Basically he should save every penn6 during his 15 minutes
Racism, especially against Asians, is pushing boundaries? Never understood how racism can ever be justified under the guise of comedy. It's the laziest type of 'comedy' ever.
I'm quite appalled to learn that someone associated with Compound Media has a history of making racist remarks
This is way worse, more recent, and just aggressively hateful compared to Melissa Villaseñor's shitty tweets. I think there is a good chance he leaves the show. He's not the "first Hispanic female cast member", he's just a lame white guy standup and they already have Jost for that.
Stupid douches like them seem to have a special immunity to self awareness that allows them to imagine themselves projecting the raw charisma of James Bond while in fact they're slouching in their chairs babbling chinlessly as they effect a striking impression of raw dough stacked to resemble melting snowmen.
This podcast is somehow an even shittier version of Cum Town. Congrats to the two of them for a stunning achievement!
can't expect friends and family to call them out cause "reasons"
Racism against Asians is sometimes downplayed as "not as bad" as racism against other minorities, so I can see where they are coming from.
But the thread title is actually quite generous towards Gillis (doesn't say racism) so I can see why there is skepticism.
What's white people comedy? Does this mean there's black people comedy? If so, what are some examples of this negro humor?
That apology is what I would imagine a middle school kid would give to his principal after getting caught saying this nonsense in the cafeteria. Just juvenile all around.
the boondocks and black jesus lol
there are definitely some comedies that appeal more to one demographic than another
White people comedy is toothless, lacking self awareness, and incredibly vapid and self congratulatory.
Lol that video and that apology. This guy seems like a piece of shit who shouldn't have even been considered for SNL.
I'm really tired of these fucking so called comedians who think that they must say bigoted shit to be 'funny' as if being against political correctness is courageous. They are just terrible comedians who should look for another job.
I do not get the MadTV recommendations here, because MadTV literally has a white person playing a (most likely) asian person also using the same fucking accent joke over and over again "He look a look a like man". "U no do" "It go like dis a"
The skit of their first day on the job practically writes itself from there
A bit of a tangent but I can't believe how many people recommend the Cum Town podcast to me. They get into some decent riffs at times but 90% of their humor is just "that's so gay bro" and "sucking dicks is gay bro". It feels like it fell out of the 1990's.
Honestly I was thinking a sketch featuring Bowen Yang and Shane Gillis tackling the controversy could be amazing if done right, but then that would mean a possible redemption arc for Gillis which is not exactly deserved.
That and I don't think SNL would have the tact to pull it off properly
What sets apart normal people that are just trying to be a comedian, and an actual comedian, is the ability to avoid low hanging fruit. The whole "risk" thing doesn't make sense or the guy doesn't have a very big comedic IQ.
That was my take, I thought only elderly racists still said "ch!nk". But I'm a comedian! Not sure what the joke is.
