He said:
“Also, I haven’t been to the gym in so long. I didn’t know women just dressed like ****** now. Look, I’m sorry, there’s no other way to describe it. Have you seen it? I’ve seen it. The shorts. Have you seen the shorts? Those neon, they’re like artificial bait colored. And the wrinkles, the wrinkles go, like, around the ****** and all combined at the ******** . And don’t look. You’re not allowed to look. For real, don’t look because they are filming. I’m in the background of like 10 TikToks right now.”
A clip of the monologue was shared on the popular subreddit r/popculturechat. As of writing, the post has garnered over 7,600 upvotes on the platform. Social media users shared their thoughts on Gillis’ controversial comments about women. They wrote:
“Ok, hot take: it’s not even funny? Like, that’s just a misogynistic statement?? Where’s the joke,” stated user TenseFish487.
“He sometimes tries to distance himself from the ‘manosphere comedians/podcasters’ but, he never strays too far from them. He just liked to play both sides at others’ expense (in this instance, women),” commented user Cold-Sun3302 on Reddit.
“He keeps making those faces because he knows it’s bombing. This is lazy, terrible writing. He couldn’t come up with anything better?” said Reddit user FlyConfident1622.
“What a new take… not like people have been using this line for decades,” wrote Kazarak_Starflower on Reddit.
