The controversial stand-up’s new Netflix show, set at an auto shop, is an unwelcome throwback to an earlier comedy area—without any of the jokes or humor.

looks like a sitcom, maybe even enough to inspire some knee-jerk nostalgia for a time when comedies had a familiar shape, undistorted by atypical streaming models or low-laugh dramedies.

Co-created by Gillis, his sketch comedy collaborator John McKeever , and Steve Gerben, the Netflix show stars Gillis and Gerben as cousins, for no real reason beyond the fact that the show seems to think the idea of cousins is inherently funny. Will is the son of the auto-center chain’s owner; he’s been handed a job managing one of its lower-performing locations, and is desperate to prove himself, while his employee Shane is desperate to avoid work.

A flustered white guy backing into a lie about his diverse social circle is a hacky, secondhand routine at this point, discount-storestuff made novel only by the suspicion that Gillis and his collaborators have stolen the bit without actually understanding it.
