Comedian Shane Gillis is facing renewed online criticism after resurfaced podcast and stand-up clips featuring remarks about teenage girls prompted backlash on social media.

The controversy follows criticism of his recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, where jokes about women’s gym clothing also attracted attention.

A video compilation circulating online includes excerpts from Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast and Gillis’s 2021 stand-up special, Live in Austin.

The compilation’s creator alleges that the comedian repeatedly uses the phrase “hot kids” and makes sexually explicit remarks while discussing young female volleyball players.

One resurfaced passage from the stand-up special concerns a volleyball match involving teams of 7th- and 8th-grade girls, including his niece’s team.

Comments about the players’ shorts and the men watching from the stands have drawn renewed scrutiny as the footage circulates online.

The clips have prompted criticism from viewers who argue that jokes about minors’ appearance cross a line, while others have questioned the audience’s laughter.

On Reddit, some users expressed anger and concern, particularly parents of children involved in youth sports.

One commenter wrote: “Law enforcement needs to check his hard drive and digital footprint. He’s not making taboo jokes; he’s telling on himself.”

The renewed debate has placed Gillis’s provocative comedy under further scrutiny, with social media users divided over the boundaries of humour involving minors.

The controversy continues to fuel discussion about comedy, accountability and the treatment of young people in entertainment.
