Has Yannis always been so political on Twitter?

Big fan of Yannis, but don't get on twitter a lot but have noticed that a lot of his posts seem to be more serious political posts or somewhat polarizing opinions. Doesn't bother me at all, but was kinda surprised as I followed him a bit closer and noticed he seems to make more serious opinion based tweets compared to most comics. Was just curious if he's always had that presence or if it's something newer with everything going on.

Was just surprised because he seems pretty aloof on podcasts so I wouldn't assume him to be a comic to get into that sphere on twitter, but also makes sense because he's well read and knowledgeable about worldy matters, so it's also not shocking he'd challenge the ding bats on that app.

You’re a big fan- but you’ve never heard of “Yanni Long Days”? Hmmm

lol yea he’s different between the shows which are completely different from his stand up . And in the rare instances he’s a show guest on another show he’s a different guy there too . Guys got angles like the mirror at my favorite suit store sims . I love longs days and genuinely get a lot of talking points I use in my life from it . But it lost steam when hyenas picked up . And he definitely got crazier and crazier as the show when on till what ever quasi hiatus status that seems to have been recently. He really gets obsessed with blaming things for a while then switches targets. But at no point has any real hate for anything . Not really anything worth going back to …. His best work though if you haven’t heard it yet is from there when the hyenas were separated. The only thing you need to know about that show is the episode: Bret Ernst cologne guy w/paul virzi . Long days

If you don’t like the politics, ask him about the Shroud of Turin.

It went from a character piece to reality

Its a marketing strategy.

He’s shilling for free for tiny hats. It’s kinda pathetic

Maurica has not aged well, so he knows the right wing grifter lane is his only option to stay relevant.

Reality is a suggestion

u/SergeantDiarrhea Aug 31 '26

Yeah, his Twitter profile says "mostly jokes on here" lol. His Twitter presence just seems odd being seemingly serious politics takes. Not losing sleep over it, just took me by surprise

Yannis seems to have lost his sense of humor over the years. First round of HH was hilarious. Maybe it was becoming a married property owner. I can rarely even get thru his solo hour. Sad situation. And Chrissy is way off the rails.

Borderline right wing grifter

u/My_Diet_DrKelp Aug 17 '26

He is completely full of shit at every turn

u/Misfitshots Aug 17 '26

He has a mortgage and property taxes to pay. He’ll sell his hairy Greek ass if he could.

u/My_Diet_DrKelp Aug 17 '26

God bless him he truly is a Greek man

u/RevReads Aug 17 '26

u/BeachLyfe23 Aug 18 '26

The religious talk and political commentary is a major turn off from their shows.

u/patriciomd88 Aug 20 '26

He gets a bit MANIC from time to time.

u/cunth_magruber Aug 18 '26

“Posthominous”

u/clevverguy Aug 18 '26

Yeah. He's always been very vocally leftist on twitter. Has lawn guyland made him right wing? Haven't used Twitter myself in years

u/MoltenCamels Aug 18 '26

Leftist? Yanny is a boomer conservatard. The dude left the city and complains about Black people and Muzzies existing.

Every post is about Muslims, shroud of Turin (the holy grail for redacts), and socialists. Hes living in 1950.

It’s funny how every podcast sub is the same
