Shane Gillis’ Tires Season 2 Surprises With Heart and Laughs

BBG News

Initially, I missed out on Tires when it premiered on Netflix, but since Season 2 has been released, I thought it was time to give it a try. After quickly working my way through Season 1, I finally got the reason why my friends have been urging me to watch it for ages. I’m not sure if others are tuning in if they aren’t already fans of Shane Gillis, but those who aren’t should definitely give him a chance.

Gillis has burst onto the comedy world and is now a major player in stand-up comedy. While I find him amusing, I wasn’t convinced his humor would work as well in acting. To be honest, his Bud Light commercials are essentially him acting out his stand-up routine, and it turns out that his acting style in the show Tires is no different. However, despite this realization, I still adore the series and was occasionally taken aback by its unexpected twists and turns in other areas.

Tires Is Very Raunchy, But It Also Has A Surprising Amount Of Heart

It seems unlikely that people would fetch tires using their Netflix subscription, unless they already have an idea about what they’re subscribing to. For those who have watched Shane Gillis’ standup, they can anticipate the same unfiltered, somewhat controversial humor he is renowned for, along with additional antics that unfold within this auto shop setting. I wasn’t overly surprised by anything I encountered while streaming through the initial two seasons, as I am already accustomed to Gillis and his unique comedy style.

Instead of merely assuming “Tires” would be a straightforward comedy without much depth, I was pleasantly surprised when certain scenes, especially in Season 2, stirred emotions within me, making me empathize and cheer for the characters. It could have easily been a show where humor takes precedence over substance in every episode, but thankfully it chose to explore some significant themes that resonate with viewers.

The series seems to resonate deeply with the 30-something struggle of questioning one’s life choices. Characters like Will, Shane, and Cal all grapple with this theme, be it through professional ambitions, personal growth, or material possessions. While it brings some poignant low points, it also enriches the series with unexpected layers that I hadn’t anticipated.

The Series Thrives On The Magical Bond Between Cousins

One aspect I greatly enjoy in this comedy is the relationship between Shane and Will, who are cousins and coworkers at Valley Forge Automotive Center. It’s evident that their on-screen chemistry is significantly influenced by the fact that Steve Gerben, the actor portraying Will, is actually good friends with Gillis in real life. This friendship translates wonderfully on screen, as they effortlessly bounce ideas off each other during their scenes.

In a unique and captivating way, Tires portrays an extraordinary bond between cousins that I believe television has yet to perfectly replicate. The show masterfully illustrates relationships where individuals can exchange sharp remarks without causing offense, yet are intimate enough to identify each other’s sensitive spots.

In simpler terms, an instance where Will points out that Shane had a privileged upbringing, having frequent visits to Disney World, is unusual because it’s one of the rare moments when Shane actually feels awkward, with Will, who is often teased by Shane, getting the upper hand. This scenario seems quite relatable to me in my personal experiences with cousins, and it’s not often portrayed in a way that reflects real life on TV.

The Show Manages To Pull A Shocking Number Of Comedians

To accurately count the comedians who’ve graced our stage on Tires, I’d need to post all of them. This will underscore the incredible talent we have on board when it comes to attracting stand-up stars. From fresh faces like Stavros Halkias and Andrew Schulz, to veterans such as Jon Lovitz and Ron White, our roster is simply bursting with comedy heavyweights.

More On Shane Gillis

Last weekend’s viral Shane Gillis sketch on SNL reminded fans of the charm and humor reminiscent of John Candy, and now I can’t help but see that likeness every time I think about it.

It wasn’t unexpected to find numerous prominent comedians on that list, but upon reflection, it shouldn’t have been a shock. Currently, Gillis is among the leading figures in stand-up comedy, and even Saturday Night Live invited him back as host following his missed chance to become a cast member due to past issues. Fortunately, those matters are behind us now, and I’m eagerly anticipating who else might appear should Tires return for Season 3.

The Series Isn’t Afraid To Show The Cast Breaking During Scenes

One intriguing aspect often overlooked about Tires is its willingness to transcend traditional storytelling boundaries by engaging with the audience directly, especially in scenes that elicit laughter. Occasionally throughout the series, you may observe actors struggling to suppress their amusement, or the camera may focus on them for a moment too long, capturing the exact instant they begin to smile before swiftly moving on.

Does it have the potential to affect the show’s immersive quality? Possibly, but I haven’t noticed instances where it did so in a way that caused me distress. On the contrary, I often find myself amused by what unfolds and amazed that they didn’t completely derail the scene.

It Feels Like A Modern Take On Classic Sitcoms, And We Need More Of That

As a movie enthusiast who’s had my fill of expensive, grandiose productions, I’m genuinely thankful for shows like “Tires.” Don’t get me wrong; I can’t wait for the next season of Netflix’s “One Piece,” but not every series needs to be a blockbuster spectacle that demands our undivided attention. Sometimes, I just want to kick back and enjoy some lighthearted, laughter-filled sitcoms like “Tires.” It’s exactly what the doctor ordered for those who crave a good chuckle without the high drama.

Gillis’ show successfully blends nostalgic elements from ’90s sitcoms with contemporary humor that appeals to a newer generation in 2025. It seems Netflix saw potential early on, as they ordered Season 2 before the premiere, suggesting a promising future for this series. I eagerly anticipate more seasons, as I thoroughly enjoy this show!

If you haven’t managed to watch it so far, both seasons of the series titled “Tires” are currently streaming on Netflix. It’s highly recommended if you’re a fan of Shane Gillis’ humor, or simply enjoy watching quality comedy.
