Shane Gillis Just Got Thrown Under the Bus..

Overview

The video discusses backlash over Shane Gillis’s joke about women’s gym attire on Saturday Night Live (SNL). Kenan Thompson says that if Gillis returned to the show, they would need to talk with him about how the joke landed and whether he could have handled it differently. Thompson also says the controversy has overshadowed the rest of the show, including a strong performance by newer cast member Grace.

Commentator’s Response

The commentator objects to the idea that Gillis should be reprimanded. He argues that the joke itself is why people are discussing the show and Grace’s appearance, and criticizes efforts to redirect attention toward other performances.

Casey Anthony is shown criticizing Gillis’s remarks and what she describes as toxic masculinity. The commentator responds by questioning Anthony’s credibility and defending Gillis. He argues that women may wear revealing gym clothes to attract attention and that people should not be surprised when others comment on them.

Overall, the video takes a dismissive view of the criticism and frames the dispute as an example of cultural influence waning.
