Shane Gillis' New Comedy Series Is A Massive Middle Finger To Wokeness: REVIEW
Shane Gillis is throwing absolute heat with "Tires."
The Netflix comedy dropped season one for viewers Thursday after a few weeks of growing hype. As a massive fan of Gillis' comedy, I couldn't wait to see what we'd get.
The show revolves around a tires shop/auto garage and its moron manager and future heir Will (Steven Gerben) being constantly bullied and harassed by his cousin Shane (played by Gillis).
The plot alone was enough to hook me in, and after crushing the premiere, I'm happy to report that this show is absolutely amazing.
Shane Gillis' new show "Tires" is amazing.
The premiere episode of "Tires" - which has already been renewed for a second season - focuses on Will starting a new initiative in the autobody shop to make women feel comfortable, safe and welcome.
I can't believe I just typed that sentence out, but here we are. With a reporter showing up to write what's believed to be a puff piece, Will wants everyone to be on their best behavior.
Shane has other plans. He plans on derailing everything, and that's about where I have to stop with the plot details.

What I can say is that "Tires" couldn't care less about what should or shouldn't be allowed to be joked about. The premiere episode includes jokes about oral sex, orgasms, OnlyFans, reliving the high school football glory days, Uday Hussein, lying about hooking up with women, being an idiot and nonstop mocking of Will. Where else can you find a show with jokes about sex and the deceased son of Saddam Hussein?
It's pure R-rated comedy, and it's exactly what Gillis' fans have come to expect from him. It's absolutely everything the anti-comedy woke mob hates.
The jokes are so edgy at times that you might even feel a little uncomfortable, and I loved every second of it. Will represents everything about virtue signaling losers that is ripe for mocking. The entire premiere is a middle finger to people who want to sanitize comedy.
It also includes appearances from fellow comedy stars Andrew Schultz and Stavros Halkias. Schultz's character immediately gets hit with pejoratives as soon as he's introduced. Again, the show is hedgy as hell, and I love it.
I've been saying for weeks the boys are finally back, and this summer is going to be electric. Netflix dropping a boundary-pushing comedy with Gillis leading the way is a sign that we're as back as we've ever been. Crack a beer and celebrate because it's a great day for people who love comedy.
