Shane Gillis' New Series Is Making Comedy Great Again: REVIEW

"Tires" with Shane Gillis is an unbelievable success for Netflix.

Late last week, I reviewed the premiere of the six-episode series about a small auto body shop. Prior to Netflix even releasing the series, it was already slapped with a season two renewal.

Hype was off the charts by the time I fired up episode one. As I wrote for our readers, I loved the premiere. It was incredibly funny and a massive middle finger to the wokes.

Now, I've blazed through all of season one, and it's epic.

"Tires" with Shane Gillis is awesome

The plot of the series is pretty simple. Shane (played by Shane Gillis) is a slacker of an employee who bullies the hell out of his cousin and boss Will (Steven Gerben).

Will desperately wants to please his dad, and Shane desperately wants to make fun of him. It's a pretty simple concept that plays out over six episodes, but where the show succeeds is that it truly doesn't care one bit about offending people.

When I say it's offensive, I mean it's truly edgy, gross, hilarious and meant to make you cringe at times. That's what comedy should be. Comedy should never be safe.

While I'm not going to break down every joke, there are a couple that stick out to prove my point. There's literally a scene where Shane tries to corral a bunch of bikini-clad women into a shipping container, and then jokes about how Jeffrey Epstein would have been disappointed if women of their low-caliber showed up on his island. Will that piss off the outrage mob? I'm sure it will, but I laughed my butt off.

Second, there's an entire storyline about how Will smells so bad after having sex with one of the low-class bikini-clad women doing the car wash. Pretty much the entire episode is dedicated to the sex arc, and it's beyond crude and graphic……and I couldn't stop laughing the entire time.

There are also some great feel-good moments as Shane realizes Will is a lot more than a bumbling idiot.

It feels like we're in for a huge summer, and Netflix dropping one of the funniest and most vulgar shows that I've seen in a long time is a sign the good guys are winning.

If you're offended by jokes, then you're certainly no friend of mine. This is what my buddies are texting about.

If you love comedy with zero restrictions, then I can promise you're going to love "Tires" with Shane Gillis, and you can crush the entire series in a day. Props to Gillis for reminding us all what comedy is about. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
