Public reception

Cultural impact

As cited by Bautista (2012), researchers from University of San Jose - Recoletos studied the role of sarcasm and criticism on Filipino humor. Half of 100 participants stated that they gain more confidence from mimicking Vice Ganda's style of humor, while 64% of the respondents said that they usually imitate Vice Ganda's sarcasm during conversations. In a separate study by Centro Escolar University and Western Mindanao State University titled as "THE PRAGMATICS OF IRONY IN HUMOR: EMERGING DRIFTS IN PHILIPPINE WITTICISM" conducted by Richard M. Rillo and Junette B. Buslon, they have concluded that Ganda's irony in conversational witticisms to appear humorous greatly influenced today's Filipinos to use these strategies in their humorous remarks. They further stated that it is quite unfortunate to think that even children are into this kind of humor when they talk to others of their age, or even to people older than they. The research study stated that this may have been caused by the popularity of Vice Ganda in the different forms of media that the modern Filipinos have access to (e.g. TV; internet).

Ganda is considered a self-made individual and became an icon for Filipinos who work hard and dream big.Ganda's popularity in the Philippines became vital as he significantly influenced the normalisations of gay discussions in the mainstream media. He is an advocate and a stalwart for the LGBT movement, to seek equal opportunities to the members of the LGBT in the Philippines. He fully supports and endorses the SOGIE Equality Bill or The Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Expression (SOGIE, Tagalog: sɔdʒi Equality Bill, also known as the Anti-Discrimination Bill (ADB), a series of House and Senate bills that were introduced in the 17th and 18th Congress of the Philippines. The support draw inspiration from him, being an openly gay comedian — in an industry where straight actors are often discouraged or criticized for doing gay roles — to attain that level of success he has acquired in show business. On October 15, 2018, episode of It's Showtime, Ganda expressed during the live telecast:

:''"Alam mo ‘yang mga lalake akala niyo lagi eh ang sama ng iniisip sa mga bakla. Kahit sa CR, kaya ako hindi ako nag c-CR sa CR ng lalake na-b-bwisit ako. Yung pagpasok mo, pag may pumasok na bakla, yung mga umiihing mga lalake(acted out a dodging gesture)''. (You know, all these men, they all think bad about gay men ho enter male restrooms That’s why I do not use male restrooms, I get annoyed. When a gay man enters a male restroom, men who are in there urinating ove away, as if evading something)" ..'‘di ba sa CR din ng babae ‘di rin naman ako makapasok. Eh ‘yung ibang mga babae magrereklamo, ‘Ano ba yan kalalaking tao dito mag c-CR'' (I cannot enter women’s restrooms too. Some women complain, “What’s that? Why is a man using this CR?)..."

Ganda then called out and plead to Philippine Senators Joel Villanueva and Tito Sotto, to already pass that bill. Further pushing his advocacy, he graced the cover of Mega Magazine in 2018 and 2020 and became the first LGBT member in history to be in the front page. According to Mega founder Sari Yap, she wanted to showcase that the publication is not just for women. She further stated, "...it was decided to end it with inclusivity, proving that MEGA is not only for women, but for the LGBTQ community as well." She also discussed how that very community deserves its moment in the sun, which is why there was no other name on the list to front the issue but Vice Ganda.In 2022, Ganda launched his first ''"UnkabogaBALL"'', a ball to showcase fashion for the LGBT community in show business. The ball marked the start of a relationship between entertainers and content creators in the LGBTQ+ community.

Controversies

*Gang rape jokes against Jessica Soho. In May 2013, Vice Ganda was widely criticized for making several jokes about gang rape during his ''I-Vice Ganda Mo Ko!'' comedy concert show. One of them was directed towards respected news anchor Jessica Soho, whom he mentioned in a joke regarding several personalities starring in a hypothetical pornographic film. Philippine women's rights group GABRIELA condemned the joke as being distasteful in light of rape victims. GMA reporter Arnold Clavio, a colleague of Soho, defended the news anchor and expressed his disapproval of Vice Ganda's body-shaming remark in one of the former's radio programs. Although Vice Ganda initially defended his stance, saying that the brand of humor he uses is based on his roots doing stand-up in comedy bars and karaoke lounges, the comedian issued an apology over the issue during an episode of ''It's Showtime''.
*Nora Aunor. Actress Nora Aunor also took umbrage at Vice Ganda's style of humor when she pulled out of her appearance as a special guest judge for the ''Tawag ng Tanghalan'' grand finals at the last minute. Aunor believed Vice Ganda's brand of insult comedy was against her moral beliefs, and was perturbed with the idea of being on the show alongside Vice Ganda.
*Apollo Quiboloy. On one of his daily comedic discussions following a performance by Gian Magdangal on Tawag ng Tanghalan: Celebrity Champions, Vice Ganda made a joke after the founder of Kingdom of Jesus Christ, Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, among other claims of being responsible for stopping calamities, claimed that he was responsible for stopping the earthquakes in Mindanao. Vice Ganda jokingly challenged Pastor Quiboloy to stop one of the longest running and undying ABS-CBN television series, ''Ang Probinsyano'' and the common Philippine problem which is the constant traffic on EDSA. Members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ took offense and expressed their dismay for Vice Ganda. Radio broadcaster and SMNI anchor, Mike Abe, a friend of Quiboloy, defended the founder and launched his foul-mouthed tirade on Vice Ganda about the controversial "stop" joke on Quiboloy. Two days after the joke, Quiboloy instead threatened that he will not only stop FPJ's Ang Probinsyano and shut down ABS-CBN as a whole within 4 months. Before saying these threats by Quiboloy, however, the company's contract, originally expiring on March 30, 2020, ended on May 4, 2020, based on Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra's speech during the Senate hearing on alleged violations made by ABS-CBN. Two weeks after the shutdown of ABS-CBN, Quiboloy delivered the message to Vice Ganda on his show, Powerline, that he prophesied the network and Ang Probinsyano's end. However, the show (Ang Probinsyano) and all ABS-CBN shows and programs are still ongoing on other TV stations and social media platforms.
*Rodante Marcoleta. On May 26, during the first hearing of ABS-CBN's new 25-year franchise, Sagip Partylist Representative and Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta presented videos showing Vice Ganda jokingly asking Pastor Apollo Quiboloy of the Restorationist church Kingdom of Jesus Christ to stop ''Ang Probinsyano''. Marcoleta alleged that Vice Ganda's statement was meant sincerely, and that the challenge was accepted. Vice Ganda responded to Marcoleta via a Twitter post, claiming that it was a joke.
