Shane Gillis Opening Monologue At 2025 ESPYs

[ArbitraryWater]

Gillis is naturally funny for sure but he sometimes commits so hard to being offensive that it takes away from it a little.

Not necessarily the case here but just in general when he gets on larger stages like this. His standard sets when he's not trying too hard to do that are always more natural and better.

I feel that way about Burr or CK, but not Shane.

For some reason that cut makes it seem awkward.

I just watched the full opening and its much better, flows better.

Flow isn't what I'd use to describe this guy. His delivery is purposefully choppy. He'll get some zingers in, then decide to stop the laughs with something dry. I don't know why a comedian would do that

His joke about KAT was over the line though. Beyond controversial to whatever the next level is. If KAT isn't gay, he has to feel horrible. If he is gay, he's hiding it for personal reasons and this isn't doing him any favors. KATs not an ahole, criminal, or attention whore so he doesn't really deserve that brutal swipe at the ESPYs of all places

If "Hey girlll" is a brutal swipe then this whole generation has become paper soft.

There's something very wholesome about Shane Gillis. He's like the team clown who is always able to make everyone laugh.

Im just saying that whole monologue flows better/gives off a better impression than the cut.

Burr is a cuck

Some stuff was funny. But he had some dry spots which took away momentum. Also think his delivery isn’t smooth. Sounds like he’s reading the jokes off a paper. Not familiar with him as a comedian. First time seeing him was on college gameday when he joked on Saban who was uptight. He seems like a good comedian to host a roast. But again just off his espy performance he needs some work. Too many dry moments.

What generation would sit there and let someone question their manhood? Not even here to defend this generation. But your comment lacks sense. You think a person from the 80’s would laugh/be ok with that joke?
