,” then fired from the show days later amid controversy over his use of racist slurs.
Social media and “cancel culture” were the major focus of Gillis’ set, during which he spoke about the backlash he’s received over the last week. “It’s been weird. Twitter has been f–cking nuts. You try to stay off it when the whole f–cking country hates you. That’s not a fun feeling as a human. Especially when you never get to say your side at all.
He went on to speak about how differently he believes people in his hometown of Philadelphia address politics and race when compared to his new friends in New York: “I don’t know if you can tell, I’m white trash,” he said. “I’m from a sh–t hole and then I moved to the city and now all my friends are woke. They’re from Brooklyn. But I still have uncles. They have the internet, so I’ll get online and the first status will be someone from back home like, ‘F–cking Colin Kaepernick better stand up.
It was announced last Thursday that Gillis would join NBC sketch-comedy series “SNL” alongside fellow comedians Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman. But after his disparaging comments about Asians, women, LGBTQ people and Muslims—made on his joint podcast with fellow comedian Matt McCusker—were picked apart on Twitter, the network responded by cutting ties with the comedian just four days after his casting announcement.
Comedian makes joke, more news at 11
That's funny, legit funny.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a legend
Not funny, asswipe. shanegillis You are totally not even an inch funny.
People don't understand that Shane is a hero. And i did serve. I served for 12 years and uncle sam said i did not have to apologize to the folks who say i am smelly and ugly and sound like a wet fart when i talk.
Any bet the backlash he's received has just made him more angry and open to say things like that.
AsianFragility in the comments
Who's this guy and what is SNL. Oh hi mark
It’s not ok for this man to make racist comments during a stand up but it is ok for THE PRESIDENT TO? Wow
Shane is on record saying that thru comedy, he can find out who he can and can't be racist towards. The next time he comfortably tosses the C-word around, it won't be proudly broadcasted, but rather, privately spoken in the basement of his mom's home w/ his kindred spirits.
I thOught ComEDIaNS wEre SupPOsEd tO Be funNY.
He's trolling all of you snowflakes millienals..
That's a fucking great joke. Though, jusldging by the comments on this tweet, it sparked more fake outrage.
It’s jokes people relax
🤣
He's not the only one...
The comedy is really in watching all these fake ass SJW morale police wannabes lose their shit on Twitter about a guy who’s literally better off after being cancelled than before
Lmao nice
Mood. 😂😂😂
I'm sad the dude is getting death threats. But I am so glad I don't have to watch his unimaginative attempt at comedy on SNL
.Shanemgillis Maybe he should start reading some in a lesbian accent. PushingBoundaries
I’m so proud of Shane “Hitler Jr.” Gillis. Keep doing your thing and best of luck to the 3rd Reich.
africasacountry Is Asia à country in Africa? Ha! Trick question! Asia is Africa because both are countries!
SNL hasn't been entertaining in years though.
Man, Idk what Shane is gonna do when he reads all of these angry tweets, oh wait...he won’t.
😂😂 Shanemgillis always hilarious!
lol
BAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH YA 'LL ARE MAD SO MAD😂 HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Can't wait for it
Finally a comedian doing something worth seeing. Going out of my way to check that out.
Anybody want to bet against shanegillis becoming a Faux News consultant? variety NoHate nbcsnl
Thats pretty funny!
That’s pretty funny.
Some one fire this idiot. nbcsnl
This guy is hilarious.
Oh, he was definite so sorry....
I still stand with AndrewYang but this guy's joke is pretty garbage to the point I start to wonder if he deserves forgiveness. Like VanJones68 said on his interview with AndrewYang last night - I don't care if you care. If you don't care, I fucking care.
Lame.
importantest What a funny fuck
importantest He’s the best! 😂😂😂
Doubling down on your racism is a sure fire way to prove you’re not racist. 🙄👋🏻
Douchebag is as douchebag does.
This being racist is one thing, but it's just not funny, plain and simple.
SNL=Hypocrisy
PoliticalKathy Hey Kathy, your fellow conservative Shanemgillis says hello.
Lmao!!!
Ha that’s funny
'I'm so fucking edgy, please employ me someone'
Hahaha!😂 love it!
Headline “Man tells a joke” Not everyone is a melt that will apologise with no humour in it like Aziz ansari
AHAHAHAHAHA hilarious I fuxking love this guy!
They literally have skits about child fucking robots built by Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Awesome!
Please, I'm not sure what an 'Asian accent' is. Is it like an European accent?
Lol that’s pretty good.
And next think you know, the kkk makes him an honorary member. Remember, there are fine people on both sides lol. What a douche.
Look how this monster ridicules the French people!
Keep digging, we can still see you
I’m sorry but I laughed out loud when I read this...it’s funny. It’s a joke. You know ha ha.
Everyone together now: 'Fuckin who?'
What's so embarrassing about this is your mediocre writers ignore that he never left comedy and comedy fancy art nearly as pathetic as the average entertainment writer and not desperate to be offended so get over yourselves
Hahahaha, Shane is savage
King
Cringe.
I don't know why anyone would threaten to kill this man. He dies on stage every night.
Guys, cancel culture is real.
Haley Joel Osment looks so good!
I was feeling kinda bad for him for awhile, comedians do sometimes push cringeworthy boundaries. But this is proof SNL made the right move firing him.
That’s actually an excellent response hahaha
That’s hilarious
SNL made the right decision.
The Hollywood crowd fostered the liberal leftist and now it's turning on them - it's called Karma. The comics want to fix this? Vote Republican.
Shane Gillis is damn funny young man, and you're vury dishonorabru
I’m sorry this happened to you and you became the center of this week’s fake outrage Shanemgillis Don’t let it get you down, it’s just a chink in society’s armor.
Keep trying, buddy, sooner or later you have to say something funny just by the law of averages
Hilarious! I hope this is true.
Good to know, douchebag Shanemgillis
Shane Gillis confirms that SNL made the right choice to dump him.
Lol fuck ya
Seems they made the right decision, don't it.
WTF is an Asian accent? Is it the same as an Indian accent? Or a Malaysian accent? Or a Japanese accent?
Oh so he learned nothing and is still the worst
thats a funny joke right there lol. anyone offended needs to change their tampon
Now he can return to the obscurity from whence he came.
Glad to see the mental midgets couldn’t keep the man down. That joke alone is funnier than most I’ve heard on SNL recently.
LOL It’s funny because it’s racist LOL
He never left stand-up. Only social justice is here to dictate and the world isn’t listening any longer.
The Asian community coming to get shane gillus. kawaiigirl
He can read kanji?
It’s funny how everyone in the comments is just glossing over the fact that this man received DEATH THREATS FOR A JOKE
This guy really could not give any less of a f***. To top it all off, his racist ass has learned nothing. Hopefully SNL do some due diligence next time cause this dude's bigotry is pretty obvious
I doubt there is any death threat from Asians. That's not an Asian thing.
He’s just proving SNL was right to tear up that contract.
Yeah it would be too much to expect a little humility from this ass 🙄
He looks like a young Rush Limbaugh
Level of emotional maturity
Why are you still writing about this?
Somebody knows how the game works, and that the only way to win is to not play it. We've seen what happens when you bend over backwards to appease these people, it is never good enough you have been branded a heretic and a heretic you will remain
TIL that shane gillls can be funny as shit even though he wirked at snl
Go off king
Shanemgillis 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
wait what
Im going to be so sad when standup comedy becomes extinct
He'll now pivot to MOAR racism, get gigs in rural red state towns and sell supplements
ugh
lol oml
Gross.
Legend
Hilarious 😂
He still hasn’t said anything funny, with Asian people merely being the punchline. He still hasn’t made a fucking joke.
SNL hired this guy in the first place? SNL though...
You know he can't read lol thats a good one
I wish I had the balls to be as mediocre as Shane. He's absolute trash.
Based
lmaoooooooo
❤️
Oof shameless and boring. Let’s shut down this racist and move on. He does not bring nuance or perspective. He is just racist and not funny.
If he thinks only Asians complained, then he still doesn't get it.
What did he even say
Wow, it’s just like the incels predicted: his life is RUINED. Imagine having to wait TWO WHOLE DAYS to land a new gig after being fired!
Who?
I actually just read that in a white accent
what the f is asian accent!? it's like kumail bit on his snl monologue: the most annoying part of racism is the inacuracy. it's okay to be racist if you are rational and intelligence, it means you have bases for your reasoning. but this? asian accent? 🤡🤡🤡
So proving that you're still not funny?
I’m waiting for the day that a lot of people get thicker skin and accept the fact that jokes won’t kill them.
Wow, so this experience taught him nothing...
Another hack 'joke' from him if he actually meant it is a joke
KING
So boring when some comedian tries to say that doing 50 year old racist jokes is being 'edgy'.
Wild how Indian, Chinese, Russian, Iraqi are all the same accent
Oh boy
Shanemgillis KING BULL 👑
😂😂😂😂
It would have been much fewer words for him to just say “I will not be returning to comedy”
What an incredible Doucheshoe.
He is almost funny.
This is the best talent SNL could find to add to their cast? In all the world he's it?
That's good, nice to see someone stick with their guns.
Good decision to fire Gillis nbcsnl
That’s hilarious 😂
That’s why you were fired.
Welp
Lame... as your career dude. Just pack it up. We won. 👊
I’ll bet he also pulls his eyes into a slant with his fingers while he’s doing it. Typical white racist dope.
Mua! Perfection.
Fucking hilarious!
Good, he should push the boundaries even further so the fake outraged, know nothing joke police keep making him more famous. So happy to see comedians finally standing up to these douche bags.
A joke that shitty certainly validates SNL’s decision.
Hey Shanemgillis which Asian accent specifically?
He’s fucking awful.
This dude is Larry the Cable Guy 2 at best.
hotpotato01 Do not support this ignorant person. Bl8cking Variety is just as easy as blocking the piece of garbage in this article...
Nice to see he learnt his lesson
Breaking: racist guy still racist
what even is an Asian accent does he think Asia is one country?
Haha Shane is hilarious
I accidentally laughed at this. Consider this my suicide note
Variety is repugnant
Ha!
Dude is fucking clueless!
dudes a comedian, what did y’all expect haha personally i’ve never seen of his comedy stuff, so idk if he’s any good or not
Respect.
He’s learned nothing.
what is an asian accent
Everybody in these comments is humorless and boring.
Shane is the man!
why are you amplifying this idiot’s message?
What a tool. Glad SNL un-hired him.
Christ, this thread is garbage. Asian accents: GRRRRRRR Death threats: meh...
what the frick does an asian accent sound like
This guy is garbage — stop writing about him and he will fade away. As he absolutely deserves to.
My Bro accent is way better than his Asian accent
Booooooo 🍅🍅🍅🍅
Shane just proving he is too funny for snl.
Guarantee you he’ll be a warm up at the GOP convention
😂😂😂
If you listen closely, you can hear the echoes of the REEEEEEEing….
This is an example of mental illness
imagine still not being funny... the bravery...
What a comedy 5
cleaning that mess up like
Doubling down I see 🙃
FuckingGrossPOS
Vile
back into obscurity you go goodriddance
So he joked about doing an “Asian accent”, but didn’t actually do one on stage? Can’t think of a better metaphor for this sort of hollow, performative anti-wokeness
B a s e d
Glad to know he’s learned his lesson
I still have no idea who this man is before and after his fake apology. To add, I don't care.
I read this tweet in a bland mayonnaise accent
You’ve got to admit, that’s a pretty funny joke
Thanks for confirming that SNL made the right call.
So sorry we’ll miss out on this HILLARIOUS dude on SNL 🙄
Hahaha
'you wirr be so solly. Iru gettur you white devir'
Fucking brilliant double down!
Everyone in this thread that doesn’t think this is a hilarious line is gay......I don’t mean homosexual....I mean gay like everyone called you in middle school. Lol.
He did WHAT?! Oh my gosh, and here I thought that he would do the mature thing and grow up as a person instead of doubling down and doing the same old shit for the easy crowd!
None of the replies are as funny as what he said
Hilarious!!!!
Fucking legend
You stay classy, Shane.
Holy crap I love this dude.
Lol that's funny 😂
Cool! He’s learned nothing!!
Don't worry about all these assclowns in the replies. Some people still know what comedy is. They need to cancel themselves.
That’s an a ducking joke! I’m glad he’s gotten better over the years
yesterday when I parallel parked my car, I nearly bumped another car, I felt like an Asian woman for a second... that was nearly embarrassing.
toni_girl_ Glad he didn’t do something really racist... like wear blackface... 😳
Nice.
All I'm seeing in the comments.
Ooohhhh what a tough guy! So edgy. Pushing those boundaries...
anyone wanna explain what happened I’m behind on this
What is an 'Asian' accent? Is 'Asian' a language?
Ronnie Chieng with a good response:
I guess death threats are OK. Comments here are sick!
Look who you were defending, AndrewYang.
How long before this asshole ends up on foxnews crying about the 'Thought Police?'
King
This guy will be co-starring with Scott Baio and Kevin Sorbo in a straight to dvd movie soon.
I hope he has fun doing stand-up for the rest of his life and never getting another big break. It's what his racist ass deserves.
Way to prove them right for cutting you loose. You're really sticking it to 'em.
Ugh. Why is he still relevant? shanegilliscansuckit
Well I hope he’s prepared for that black ass beating.
lmfao
eurasian too idiot
Lenny Bruce you aint.
Yup. He's still not funny
lol ah yes, the SINGLE Asian accent.
Well, he may be a racist asshole but at least he's unrepentant about it and unwilling to learn from his mistakes...
He’ll fade into the background soon. He’s trying to cling on to his 15 minutes of social media fame 🤷🏼♀️
Wait, I thought he was cancelled and his life was ruined because of stupid snowflakes? And yet here he is having a career and everything. And STILL. Not learning. Let’s cancel him again!
Doesn't seem to be very canceled .
Wow, groundbreaking humor
Oh look he’s still racist
I figured out why Shanemgillis says racist shit. It’s because he doesn’t know what racism is. Maybe he also confused comedy with cheeseburgers.
it’s like when you crap your pants but then put it on a platter and call it a chocolate volcano cake or something
Y’all really can’t tell the difference between racism and satire?
Sooooo hacky 🙄
So basically he learned nothing from this. And he's a lazy hack of a comedian.
That’s not even funny. Not racist like his previous comments, but this falls flat.
This is why he lost the gig; his ass isn’t funny.
Shanemgillis dude just stop it and be a decent human being.
Dealing with being a hackneyed racist by pointedly being a hackneyed racist. Bold.
aklocampo wtf is an Asian accent
So he knows Arabic?
When you learn nothing from your mistakes
Oh, no...
The Bull hasn’t been cowed into submission?
Oh. So he's doubling down on his bigotry.
Lol fuck yeah Bull
Trash.
When do the jokes start
Instead of your usual white nationalist accent?
“Death threats” are fine, but he better not read them with a stereotypical voice!
Brilliant, edgy, fresh!
Doing his best to convince nbcsnl they made the right decision...
This dude is just trash it seems.
“I’m cool being fired because it turns out that I really am a racist who will learn nothing from this and instead double down on my racism because being racist is better than admitting you were wrong.”
Lmaoooooo
Asian accent? I’d never heard of you before this, sorry I did. What an asshole! Ugh
The fact that people are keying on “Asian accent” and not “death threats”.
OMG! I can’t stop laughing. “Asian accent!” Jesus Christ...let me breath.
Which accent though cos we have quite a few here in Asia, you know it being a continent and all with various countries, all of which have different accents...you do know what continents are right?
Good job at confirming everything everyone has been saying/ thinking about you 👏
Proving exactly why it was the correct move to fire him in the first place.
Guess he doesn't know he's suppose to beg for a forgiveness he would never receive.
Gonna hit the road with w_terrence opening for the “...But I Have a Black Friend” komedy kavalkade
Who?
Wonder if he envisions getting punched the fuck out in public in an Asian accent.
Racist gun racist It was never about a comedy routine.
Shane Gillis is not funny.
Ugh, “The tweet elicited support from SNL vets Rob Schneider and Norm Macdonald,” also two not funny, skeevy dudes. Seriously, how as a country are we ever going to overcome this shit?
I’ll bet the Ruby Tuesday crowd was tickled
OW THE EDGE
All of you are the ones Chappelle was speaking about. I hope Black Jesus shows no mercy
He fits the conservative stereotype
Thus confirming he never should have been hired in the first place.
“...in an Asian accent”? What did I just read
So edgy and on point!
Pathetic
The old being more racist to prove he isn't racist defense.
but is he still gonna tell the joke about how bad he wants to fuck 8 year old drag queens? That's what the world needs to know.
Tl:Dr: Shane: “SNL found out I’m a dick. I just want to show you how much of a dick I can become.”
Was that supposed to be funny?
This is why we want to cancel people. Racists will never stop being racist if you are kind to them
by repeating his joke in the headline, you're signalling it's acceptable. it's not
Shane getting fired was funny, as is his response
LOL!
he wants to work in construction I see.
Stop giving him attention. He will just keep trying to get it by saying outrageous things.
Huckabee-level yukks
A has been who never was.
He's going to scream about being oppressed and censored through multiple high-paying TV specials.
At least he learned thst it’s not okay to be racist. Oh wait...
He's free to tell the jokes he wants. I don't find it funny but if others do it's what it is.
Yes, there is a universal “Asian accent” just like there is a single accent found across the USA, oh right, there isn’t. He’s a bigoted idiot.
How was he ever hired in the first place?
Returned? Cmon bruh.
Good money in racism and xenophobia these days
😂😂😂
So getting fired still didn’t teach him how to be funny? You hate to see it.
😂😂😂 What about the Ms Swan accents and Ms. Honey
Ummmm...
lacist
I’m still trying to perfect my white accent.
Lol he’s goofy. He’s triggering these people on purpose. 😂
Good to know that he’s also not funny
Gosh, way to confirm the rightness of SNL’s decision there, dude
Who?
Eye- you know what nvm I’m glad snl fired him
I never heard of him until two minutes ago when I saw Noah Galvin's comment
That response is hilarious
BadnBougas
He can be the new comedic champion of MAGAts, like Terrence Williams. From obscurity to SNL in 20 years. From SNL to sideshow in a week. Poetic justice.
Why?
SNL:
Dudebro really doubled down on being a vile human being
Sorry your career didn’t take off, dude
When conservatives talk about 'where are all the conservative comics?', why is it, when it does arrive, it is entirely in the form of lazy white comics mocking foreign accents?
😂
What is a 'asian accent'
wow
I see you’re doing just fine making money off your obsession with tired Asian jokes
What a 💩head
The amount of white upper class hypocrites on this post gives me the vibe that you lot just deleted pics of you in blackface and now it's time to deflect... who's mad a dave Chappelle?
Doubling down on asshole behavior is so 2019. I really hope 2020 begins a turnaround and back to being decent humans.
The real consequence is living with his face
Ok. Asshole confirmed 🤷♂️ Good to know.
What is an “Asian” accent Variety? Are you just publishing racist comments now?
Such edge. Many edgy.
Ah yes the all encompassing Asian accent we all use in the continent of Asia
'Racist still racist'
Glad to see he learned his lesson.
So, he’s doubling down on the racism. That’ll show everyone.
Only a bigot would say 'Asian accent' as if there's only one Asian monoculture.
lol
In recent news: White man still learning nothing
Thanks BriRodriguez and sasimons. SNL-racial-slur-gate with ShaneMGillis can be analyzed and criticized ad nauseum with political correctness standards, but it's merely a case of Hanlon's razor ignited in a racially charged dumpster fire of publicity.
Jackass
I guess he learned a lesson
meh who needs death threats when you’re one cheeseburger away from a heart attack, flubster Shanemgillis
and what a coincidence, i’ve been reading each quote of his in a drooling lisping overweight white incel accent and HOPING he dies! hey look, it all works out 👌
The beautiful irony is that he was a 'diversity hire' who would have never qualified to be on SNL in the first place if Lorne hadn't been trying to expand the viewership of his lame show.
So he is in fact, racist.
Wait wait...let me try my Shanemgillis accent...”I’M NOT FUNNY WHIlLE ALSO RACIST!” Hmmm...so close...
Asian accent isn't a thing
...ha?
WhiteFragility
So brave
Nice to see that he's learned from his mistakes at least
Let’s stop writing about this loser, shall we?
Being fired wasn’t a consequence He doubled down on his racism and will continue to profit from it. Some people will never know what it truly means a to suffer a consequence
Like a Mumbai accent?
Yeah. Stay humble, Shane. And thank you for validating your former employer’s decision to terminate you. Again.
WTF is an Asian accent
Cancel culture doesn’t exist prove me wrong!!
Great thanks for confirming that he’s absolute trash! 🤗
Go, Shane!
Still an asshole move, because there are over ten thousand languages in India alone, so the idea of an “Asian accent” is stupid and derogatory.
What a turd.
No comment about his “humor” because no idea who he is but I take exception to him referring to Philly as a shithole!! Hopefully he stays in NY. I don’t think he’ll be welcome back here.
The realisation of the paying audience...
An “Asian” accent?
Humorless leftists will not find this funny
Pride got him that chubbh cheeseburger pot belly. And he’s embarrassed he was a token hire and not the ‘comedian who was funny enough to get snl” as alleged
who? i dont see anyone just a blank stage w a blue curtain really weird of yall to run that
He’s a racist and never should have been hired. But good on SNL for at least firing him. There are consequences to your actions. Deal with it.
That would be 'racist accent.'
Way to learn from your mistakes.
He had a week to come up w a good joke about it.
Glad to see he's learned nothing
Fuck this guy
Man, this dude is really betting the farm on the idea that being Tucker Carlson’s favorite comedian is going to translate into some kind of success, huh?
Oh, so he’s not funny AND kinda of a douche
I meeeaann...that’s kinda funny.
Oh, that’s some “growth.” 😒
I didn't know his name before this, but I'll try to remember it now so I can avoid everything he does. He's young enough for a career change.
He was sincerely remorseful and deeply apologetic about his offensive racist remarks. What happened!
Wow. What a trash human being
Hardy Har Har Does he do read his terrorist jokes in an Israeli accent? Yeah, not so funny anymore, huh? WhitePrivilege
Trash.
“I am an edge lord” Can’t believe we are being deprived of his comedic genius. 🙄
So Gillis hates feeling like one mistake defines him, that everyone is watching him, that he’s misunderstood...It’s not the same but maybe he should turn this into empathy for the very people he mocks.
niggas be talking bout WHOLE CONTINENTS... we?
To all the people defending him & crying you can’t have comedy in this PC culture— his intent was never comedy. He’s obsessed with mocking Asian people. Time to hold a funeral for his career as a “funny person.”
ShaneGillis' ignorance is showing! Asia is made up of 48 countries with over 2300 languages. That's a lot of accents to use. His attempt at humor shows that his apology was meaningless and that he has not changed. Glad SNL got rid of him. Still a Racist
I hate him.
Lol... It's so funny listening to all you soy filled betas reeeeeeeeeee!
Just a generic 'Asian' accent, because it's not like there are many languages and therefore differences, right
Hirocooper1 glad we missed this guy at clusterfest
Oh...'edgy'...sounds like we're missing out
AndrewYang real sorry isn't he bro
What a dork
Stop outrage. If a joke that isn’t funny and told by someone who doesn’t know you, offends you. I’d seriously think of getting a Rx
He’s as edgy as my 12 year old nephew. I’m very impressed.
yikes
What a weird thing to say
Asian accent. Like he thinks billions of people are one homogeneous group. And that Asia is a country. Sounds pretty racist to me. Good call nbcsnl
Dude you are not funny at all
He’ll be touring plantations and internment camps, I assume.
How many of you are gonna keep pretending you are so woke that you don't know what he meant
That's actually pretty funny
... such edge lord, much wow.
nah
he's bold for someone who looks like a troll
The first thing I've seen him say that is actually a joke. I'm down with the edgy humor. I kinda like that joke. It just wasn't humor in the clips that got him fired. It was a whining racist being racist.
Hmm. Douchey.
Here's that attention you asked for...
Lol, this is funny.
why do white people get so fucking bitter about not being able to be racist?
Here's hoping he makes fun of the Triad.
....and he apologized when it The video surfaced! Didn’t last long! At least we can see his true colors shining through
As normal non-racist comedians do.
Ew
Trash.
And headlining the alt-right comedy tour...
Well then good thing he got fired
Hilarious and cutting edge stuff
...This guy's gonna get a shitty Netflix special that no one's EVER gonna let me forget isn't he.
Racists thrive in this country make no mistake.
The only thing he is a victim of is his own actions.
Yuk, yuk... Dem libruls hates me. Yuk, yuk. Snort.
Yall put a whole article on an 11 minute set? Cmon man
Is he self-identifying as a comedian?
He's actually pretty funny. Sad the joke police have to try and ruin people's lives for sport.
I hope the 'woke' Internet lynch mob doesn't think that they're actually working on the side of justice and righteousness regarding this non-issue. Y'all aren't actually allergic to shitty racial humor and bigoted complaints about minorities. You will survive this 'injustice'.
Well I guess we can at least be grateful he said “Asian.”
ohhhh man -_-
Shane, I assure you, that I do not have an 'asian accent'. 😊😊
Working to gather up that racist fanbase
SNL didn’t want to tell him the real reason they fired him was because he’s too damn ugly for TV. What a shitstain of a human being. Shanemgillis I hear fentanyl is great for depression, you should try it.
Oh cool so he’s definitely a racist then.
What in the fuckery
A what now? An “Asian accent”? Ohhh. Racists will actually pretend to be stupid so that they can be racist.
So ... lesson NOT learned.
Can somebody turn him off and back on again? He seems to be malfunctioning.
That's just smart joke writing
I’m loving all of you saying he’s not funny. I was in the room for this set and he smashed but clearly everyone there was wrong and everyone in the comments here is right.
So he’s just gonna embrace it now? Poor guy just can’t face the fact that he’s unfunny. What a mind
Jesus
So maybe stop giving this guy press.
🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆
bodoh wtf is an asian accent
comedy clubs will really let any pos say stuff in them for $$$
what she said
Comment section has been triggered.
his side of what story? what could he possibly say to explain away his statements (they weren’t jokes)...that this whole thing is performance art? he absolutely had his chance to respond with contrition. everyone loves a redemption story. he just blew it cuz he’s a twerp. byeeee!
So this MediocreWhiteBoy learned absolutely nothing. Welp. A big fuck you to any production he's in or writes for, from now to forever. IMDB is very easy to use, bros.
Lol
Shane Gillis can portray a young Mike Huckabee in a mini-series.
Asian Accent
This dude STUPID
No
Gee, what a loss for SNL.
Wow, Bill Hicks edgy. Can't wait to see his special on Netflix, produced by Kevin Sorbo and Dennis Miller.
oh my gwd so brev freezpeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech
I don't know which is more offensive: that he thinks that's funny or that he thinks all Asians are Chinese
And you felt the need to tell everyone about it?
Just reinforcing why he shouldn't have and will never be hired but ok
Fuck this dude is literally the worst
Great to know this experience has only made you a shittier human being 🥰
That's why you don't have a job.
Dang, this echo chamber of people hating on Shane must be completely correct....😴😴😴😴😴😴
thanks nbcsnl he’s awful
Way to double-down there.
Who?
why don’t US americans know what asian means?
Haha.
very cool man. very cool and funny.
1) He's bottom of the barrel dense and excruciatingly unfunny. My god. How new of him to mock Asians for their looks and accents. No one should be reporting about his pathetic comedy set. SNL was right to cancel him. Sure, he deserves A job, but not THAT job where this
What a Very Funny Joke from the Very Funny Man.
He’s pulling a Michael Richards 🤫
I dont believe anyone actually took the time out of their day to send this dude death threats
Oh So he's leaning into the racism How shocking
Yeah, that racist duckweed didn’t learn a damn thing.
Sickening as it, this attitude will probably help him find great success in America, with the President being a fine example of a predecessor
And I want everyone to know that I read his quote in a racist-white-dude accent.
ah yes. reading it in the accent of the little continent of asia 😌 my boy is honestly just embarrassed of the backlash he’s getting, refuses to back down bc of his big boy pride, so of course his little boy boto 🍆 told him to make people even madder. 🤣😂
I'm thinking this asian accent would be appropriate
Another swing-and-a-miss.
Yo RobSchneider
Why are you giving this racist a platform?
Haha double down on the racists act. What a douche. It wasn't humour he was spewing on the podcast. There was no punchline, there was no context, just pure ugliness from a privileged white guy.
Well, glad to know he learned his lesson...🙄
The only thing that could redeem this situation is if Bowen Yang played him in a skit and totally eviscerated him. Get on it SNL
Well, apparently he is just as much of a sucky person as was expected! Good riddance! 😜😜😜
Most of these anti-Gillis comments are from a-holes who’ve never been on a stage, but are relishing at how “woke” they’ve become commenting on Twitter. Keep up the great work, posers.
Lorne Michaels is TRASH for ever considering this dude. Not surprising, though. Lorne is well known to be racist AF.
'I'm fine with consequences as long as everyone understands I've learned absolutely nothing from them'
prediction: dude will either join the Proud Boys or march in a Straight Pride Parade within a year
So he's just setting his sights for a Trump cabinet position apparently.
Can we make people eat glass yet?
You still got fired you untalented hack Shanemgillis
I’m glad he hasn’t let this whole debacle encourage him to grow in either his comedy or his personhood
Asia's a country?
The only thing I don’t like about ‘canceling’ celebrities who do & say terrible things is that they inevitably become worse human beings because they have to appeal to their new fan base of equally terrible people.
Wow that dude is trash.
Can someone go on stage and
I've been lead to believe this guy is a comedian?.....so when does he start getting funny?
Dumb red neck
Does he have any jokes that are actually funny?
Commitment to change one's behavior is an important part of an apology, glad that he's...doing the opposite of that
So edgy
“These guys sent me death threats. I think it was an Asian gang or something. There was this guy, he looked Asian. And he was speaking another language. I’m pretty sure it was ... Asian!”
Now thats a funny line. People crying about it are the worst types of people in the world
who?
gasp so you mean to tell me that he has learned nothing? shocked im shocked
Better watch out folks Shane Gillis got ahold of a racist joke book from the 1970s to complement all the material he stole from a racist joke book from the 1950s.
Nice to see him being thoughtful and taking responsibility for his racism 🙄
Fuck nbcsnl for hiring him in the first place. This shit was SO RECENT did you guys not GOOGLE HIM
oh, so he's not funny either
Wow so he is garbage...garbage!
Glad to see that this experience has been humbling and educational
Continuing with the racism, then.
He looks like every white guy that makes racists jokes and thinks he can get away with it. Every day Shane.
Sooooo funny.
Yes, the tiny nation of Asia and its distinctive single accent
Looks like snl made the right decision.
What a disgrace
Once a racist always a racist. SNL did the right thing.
Way to double down you dope. Lol
Lol. Like this asshole can read more than the picture menu at Hardees.
does this dude think Asian is a language
I hope he read in it every single type of accent 🥂🥂hell yeaah
he's angry he was the diversity hire lol
Hell yeah! Hes back and you guys will stalk him for weeks 🤷🏻♂️🥂
So “edgelord” finally gets illustrated on Urban Dictionary.
He’s really going all in on the douche thing, huh?
The next Artie Lange, ladies and gents. Bet he has a 'Playing basketball with black guys/accidentally says N-word' joke, too.
AmericanHomocon YESSSSS. LOLOLOL
Hopefully he gets picked up on MAD TV. Oh damn, forgot they were canceled.
What the fuck is an “Asian accent”?
Does he...think that’s funny? Yeah, good call SNL.
Oh wow Shane you're so edgy and creative, nobody's done a racism before
You’re not supposed to record stand-up shows
I haven't seen anyone defend him by posting a clip of him being genuinely funny.
Bro clearly doesn’t know when to stop.
If you had “double down on the racism after getting canned” on your bingo card....
Sometimes a person absolutely confirms that the outcome was right, on their way out the door. You can see yourself out now, pal.
So you’re still racist, got it
Peak douchebag achieved
anihi1ism smh
Who in the fuck is interested in this
jtLOL 😂😂😂😂
What is an Asian accent Half of the world’s population lives in Asia. There are a lot of languages there and they all sound different.
umm... what's an 'Asian accent'?
“Asian accent” 🤔
Asia is an entire ass continent, fuck racists are thicker than pig shit
yashar Is this a human man or just one supersized big toe, I honestly can’t tell
yashar Racist, bye 👋🏽
Dude said his side right in the fucking video.
Oooo what an edgy teenager
You know you're not doing a very good job of proving that whole 'not racist' thing you keep insisting on.
jtLOL This is hilarious.. Shanemgillis classic
Shane saw that one scene in Full Metal Jacket and saw it as a free pass for life.
yashar
BoneCK15 Hahaha
🗣We Don’t Care.
angelhairrasta
This haole finna…
SethAMandel At least he has a sense of humor about it. Sure, it's crude humor, but better than completely neutering himself onstage and becoming yet another comedian telling sterilized jokes.
He deserves to fired
1) That’s vaguely amusing 2) SNL can hire/fire anyone they want, especially if they’re racist 3) I know it’s a joke, but no one should get death threats 4) He didn’t get no death threats BONUS) That’s what you get when you try to hire a conservative, man! He’s gonna he racist!
He looks like Haley Joel Osment’s tethered
Hey let’s go back to this guy being not famous
jtLOL it's so weird seeing the CancelCulture take down an unknown comedian the same week they forgive a PM of blackface BlackfaceTrudeau
Ugh wtf is wrong with this guy?
Are we surprised? ....Nah
We 👏 must👏outlaw👏accents👏👏👏
This mfer doesn't even know Asia is an entire continent with 100s of accents.
Premium mad in the replies
😴he’s so boring😴
Sooo, demonstrating the same behavior after offering a deflecting pseudo-apology. Cute.
MKupperman see, THIS is how you write a joke
Which venue hired him?
what’s the joke
So he thinks it's wrong to generalize him based on one of his jokes, yet he thinks all Asians have the same accent. K
Dickhole...can I say that...
Well at least now we know for 100% sure this guy wasn't funny anyway. We can disperse.
Lmao these comments are so funny everyone is so sensitive just crawl into your safe space
I'm just fucking sad that we all know who this man is now. Why did Lorne bother to scrape this dude from the bottom of the bin of obscurity?
Of course his apology was fake. Thankfully everyone will forget about him
His 15 minutes will be over in nine minutes and then he can ooze back into whatever 4chan message board he came from
this would be the pitch to the SNL crisis management team that sealed his fate
Shanemgillis I hope an Asian voice is the last voice you hear as you slip into darkness...
Shane thought that making fun of Asians was acceptable that’s why he did it, his words not mine. He knew better than to ever make fun of African Americans (atleast not publicly) I guess now he knows it’s not acceptable to make fun of Asians after all. Dudes 15 min is up.
Wow Shane’s 15 minutes ended faster than most .
And we want you to know it’s sad that you think you’re funny, Shane.
🎻
Boy he just keeps digging himself deeper and deeper into this hole
So, that talk with Yang, really worked, I guess....
So what's gonna happen when he pisses off the wrong person and spends weeks in a hospital?
Dude, log off
Again with the laziest, least funny jokes
Hahaha
thoufht this was the guy from all those edgar wright movies and i got scared
He’s practically begging to open for Jeff Dunham.
Wow. Classy.
I was under the assumption he was a comedian
Oooooh, so edgy.
Let reading this tweet be the last time any of us ever think about Shane Gillis.
Which Asian? Which... accent?
Careful not to cut yourself on all that edge, Shane.
I’m so tired
Well, if he did say that. He is trying to push our buttons even more. Thank you, Mr. Gillis. It saddens me that there are people like you with this type of behavior at 30 yrs of age. That joke was completely unfunny. Grow up, Mr. Gillis.
Trying to come up with a tweet to encompass the breadth of his stupidity.
Still not funny
Only been 2 hours into my weekend and my cringe quota has been filled. If I see anything else cringey, I’m not sure what will happen.
This stuff is getting completely out of hand. How is a comedian supposed to work if he can't crack jokes on anybody? Gays will sit and laugh at every joke UNTIL they crack a joke about homosexuals THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN it's a problem ☝️ hypocriticalbastards
Lame-ass.
yashar Really doubling down on the racism
'Asian Accent' das how we know we was right about you lol.
Almost a Clickhole headline.
And I want Shane Gillis to know he looks just like every inferior little chud with a McDonalds habit and no jokes
That was even more racist...wtf?!
Stop giving this dip shit any more attention
They weren't jokes, they were 2 asshole bros sitting having a really racist conversation about a race they both can't stand. They were laughing at each other one-upping each other's expressions of dislike and ill-will toward Asians, in this case, Chinese people.
i see he still hasn’t learned his lesson🙄🙄
What an idiot
yashar that one line is funnier than anything on SNL in years
What the frack is an Asian accent?
Demonstrating once again why he shouldn’t have been hired in the first place.
thanks for re-confirming the validity of your cancellation, Shane
yashar I got fired for tweeting a crass Gordon Ramsay meme/ tweet I found mildly amusing. I feel like James Gunn without the talent. Sorry?
WHICH PART OF ASIA? INDIA EGYPT AND AFGHANISTAN ARE ALL ASIAN COUNTRIES. OR IS LITERALLY THE ENTIRE ASIAN CONTINENT ONLY “CHING CHONG” FOR U? LMAO CHING CHONG FUNNY! CHING CHONG SHANE GILLIS JOKE
Wow... what envelope pushing
Wow cool very edgy how do you stay so cool and irreverent I guess you're just a classic bad boy
yashar So SNL made the right decision
yashar omg 😐 he really is funny 😐 you can’t imagine how much I’m laughing 😐 what a hoot 😐
yashar He definitely seems contrite and like he's learned his lesson to not be racist.
Make sure you put pertinent info in the headlines because none of these woke idiots are reading the article.
Speech is violence, speech inciting violence is activism; the modern left. He should have material for the next few decades.
What.
my favourite was his remark that he 'qualified' for SNL and no one could ever take that away that is exactly what they took away completely oblivious
yashar Howard Stern should have him and George Takei on.
This dude sucks
yashar Yeah...cool. Here’s the thing about this guy—dude isn’t funny. He wasn’t funny to begin with, being on SNL wasn’t going to make him funny. So whatever. Let’s be done with this now.
yashar Dear Variety, He's an asshole, not a headline... Find something else to report on please... Isn't Miley Cyrus doing something crazy you can talk about? /r
yashar Is it possible Lorne played this boi on purpose just so we‘d all tweet about SNL as if its still a “cultural institution”? 🤔 These are some real Black Mirror times we be living in.
yashar So he decided to double-down on the racism and proving SNL made the right decision
which Asian girl/guy hurt you Shane? The people want to know
Such a Louis C.K. move. I guess that proves he is what's been said about him.
😩😭😂😂.
Why is this guy obsessed with Asian people
imagine being this unfunny with no lips
If I see this dude on the street
Netflix tier comedy.
I saw this picture and thought it was that comedian with Down Syndrome.
he's gonna go on the joe rogan show and be like 'im here to say the c word' and joe will eat it like a racoon
yup SNL made the right choice lol
Painfully unfunny
He needs to learn the DC mantra RE politics: When you find yourself deep in a hole, STOP DIGGING.
Remember all the people going 'oh he isn't like that anymore'
Proving once again that he is in fact racist and not funny.
He looks like a toe
lmao he really thought he did something here
Parasitic
Ah, the old doubling down on stupid. Classy.
You can tell he’s on the right bc of the whiny victim complex. Other tells are the racism and being fucking terrible at his job.
That’s the best one-liner he could come up with? Dude’s just not funny.
What a jackass.
Asia is a pretty big continent. I guess this imbecile thinks Afghans and Japanese people sound exactly the same.
lmfao. How contrite. Don't worry, I try to keep my eyes open really big and wide while i pretend my dick is as small as yours, Shane.
AndrewYang
For all the white ppl going to bat for this pos. Is it funny to copy my 70 yo parents accents since they immigrated here 40+ years ago, got advanced degs, became citizens, & pay a shit ton in taxes? You can use a Jersey accent for me. Thx
Low-brow comedy for white trash 🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑
ChrisMeador22 edloedonnan
It’s funny bc there is no such thing as “an asian accent” he is just making one up bc he is racist!! U love to see it
The stopped booking him in Philly.
What an absolute king
That’s great. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
Hot Take on Blaine Willis’ Firing From SNL
Of course he will use racism to promote himself. And other stupid person were made famous... 🤦🏽♀️
The young bull rising up. He's a sassy daddy.
No one knew who Shane Gillis was a month ago. Thanks to the media, everyone now knows his name. Quick, name the new SNL cast members that didn’t get fired. See? 😂
I think his callous indifference to what happened is masking a whole lot of shame and embarassment for blowing up the best thing that ever happened to him. I hope people show him compassion because that kind of regret will haunt you for a lifetime.
gina_ng
He's just a jerk
I no understanding controversy...he a funny man...you know we still use-a chopstick...oh ps enjoy vaping too...!
😂
Stop reporting on this bullshit. Variety is ass now
You people just can't get enough. Maybe it is time to fight fire with fire. I wonder what people could find if they went back through the social media of EVERY variety writer.
Eeeeeek
Hey Variety, how about some coverage of Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman? Let that other turd die of irrelevance.
Uh-oh...better get your gravity blankets out guys. Someone's trying to make people laugh again.
Aren’t yoy giving away his set verbatim? Shouldn’t that only be available to the audience that was there? These could be developing bits... nickmullen luisjgomez it could also be plagiarism couldn’t it? MSsecretpod JimNorton
BREAKING: Fired man continues to live his life
...at a Trump rally.
You know maybe we make a mistake...he funny...not Asian funny...we take a comedy very very serious...but funny for dumb show like SNL...what that mean ...SNL?...Show No Laugh...?
If Variety's coverage of Gillis's set is in any way represenative of it, he just wasn't very funny. Backhand bitching and excuse-making does not a funny set make.
kevs_1658
please make this the last time you mention him, he will only grow stronger
I imagined he got a standing ovation
“I do want you to know I’ve been reading all my death threats with an Asian accent” lol
So what?
