He was delicious.

It’s weird that Taft is remembered for getting stuck in a bathtub when I’ve read in several biographies that he could clear the entire West Wing with a single sustained fart.

I’m sure he would prefer not to be remembered as Taylor Swift’s most generic boyfriend, just like William Howard Taft would have preferred not to be remembered for the White House bathtub thing. But such is life

sad to see what the avclub’s become

This article seems an apt place to remind people ‘cancel culture’ is a term with two words in it.  There seems a dynamic where the less effective and resolute a ‘cancellation’ is, the harder those engaging in the effort press the ‘culture’ part.  With Gillis, in re AvClub, this dynamic is teetering past culture to…

You know you guys don't have to recap every Hot Ones video, right?

This is the most pathetic article the avclub has ever published. It not only drips with envy and spite but fundamentally misunderstands its subject. Shane is popular for reasons that have very little to do with the culture war. A lot of people think he’s funny. Sorry to anyone who longs for a time when a twitter…

I don’t like or support Shane Gillis, for the same reasons as hinted at here, and I still think this article is absolutely embarrassing. I would truly guess this was an amateur Tumblr post if it were stripped of context & formatting. 

Nope. He said some asshole things, got fired for it, adjusted his comedy a bit, and now he’s really successful. He admits why he got fired and pretty much makes fun of everyone, including right wingers. I haven’t seen his full specials, just various clips, but he kind of reminds of Dane Cook or Daniel Tosh. Not the…

Knowing next to nothing about Gillis I thought I was about to listen to a straight up white supremacist after reading this article. He just seemed like a low-grade bro dude.

I get that you think you are really edgy with this article but the hate for Shane on here is just off-putting.  If you have these opinions post them on your own social media accounts instead of writing a childish article about this episode.  While you and those in your bubble may not know much about Shane other than…

Jesus Christ. Don’t get me wrong, Shane Gillis is very much not to my taste and I find his loudest fans on the internet to be obnoxious but I don’t know that he’s done anything to deserve this much vitriol.

They’re a bunch of pearl-clutching dorks upset that Shane Gillis, who they thought they successfully cancelled, is now bigger and more successful than any of these failed writers or their favorite bland comedians.

Did Shane Gillis run over the AV Club’s dog or something? This is just pathetic.

I’m not a big Gillis fan, but this is unfair to Sean. His questions were fine. I think you let your personal dislike of Gillis bias you too much here. 

That’s great! I... feel like I’m only setting myself up for disappointment if I allow myself to actually hope this website will become good again, but so far you’re saying all the right things haha.

and a right-wing rumor that shopping at Target makes you “gay and a pervert.”

Harvey began receiving messages and calls from people accusing her of being the “real” Martha within days of the show coming out.

You don’t think 60 characters in a single movie risks being a bit overwhelming?

The show was all smoke and mirrors, and the biggest disappointment is that it opted for the all too familiar (weirdo incestuous serial killer) and banal platitudes (light versus dark, our father and daughter who art in heaven, etc).
