It's disappointing that Gillis & Hinchcliffe are the successes from the Skanks era of comedy

[KennethFresno]

The O&A era brought us Burr, Louis CK, Kevin Hart, hell even Schumer was a thing for a couple years.

I checked out an episode of Tires and the entire goddamn episode was that Shane bought a gun and was pointing it at his co-worker. The payoff was that eventually the co-worker took the gun attempting to point it back at Shane, but pointed it at Jon Lovitz (playing an angry customer) and got in trouble. Compelling writing.

Hinchcliffe on the other hand is just faggot "yes I'm that bitch" humor for guys too homophobic to watch RuPaul's Drag Race. "Oh he may look, sound, and act like a lisping effeminate queer but he's got a hot girlfriend and hangs out with Rogan!"

You can't even cast a nice Jewish-passing boy like Mark Normand in some NBC sitcom? He can be the sarcastic guy at the workplace!

I do find Shane Gillis funny but Tires fucking sucks.

I think Normand’s voice and mannerisms are extremely off putting to your average middle American viewing audience.

Tires is one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen. Every episode feels like Shane came up with an idea on the way to work and expected everyone to improvise comedy gold out of it, only nobody on the show including Shane himself is capable of improvising on any level.

What, you don't think Stav is funny?

The second season was a step down. Several episodes seem like they just used an old 90s sitcom plot as the basis. Like the black mold. The guy shows up for the inspection, finds it, leaves. They all start to fret about it and drive themselves crazy with speculation. On Cheers or whatever the guy would come back after the tests and say "oh yeah it was nothing" so all the characters realize how crazy they were being. But in Tires? Zero payoff. It just went nowhere.

Or the tire sales rep who tries to amog will, then changes up to be the unconfident guy when will stands up to him. The viewer assumes "yeah he's hustling Will", but again it goes nowhere.

Literally nobody in the show ever feels embarrassed at their retarded behavior except the manager.

I noticed Joe Derosa was the only writer credit on a few episodes. Maybe all of them, I wasn't really paying attention.

Oh shit yeah he was in that. I barely noticed him until one scene band I was like shit is that derosa?

He doesn’t exactly have noticeable shoulders.

Everything about Tires seems dated.

It's like they dusted off a bunch of scripts from a shelved NBC sitcom from 2012.
