==Controversies==
===Gang rape jokes against Jessica Soho===
Vice received harsh criticism in May 2013 for making multiple jokes about gang rape during their I-Vice Ganda Mo Ko! comedy concert. One of them was aimed at respected news anchor Jessica Soho, who they alluded to in a joke about a number of people appearing in a potential pornographic film. Saying: “Ang hirap nga lang kung si Jessica Soho magbo-bold. Kailangan gang rape lagi. Sasabihin ng rapist, ‘Ipasa ang lechon.’ Sasabihin naman ni Jessica, ‘Eh nasaan yung apple?'” (It will be difficult if Jessica Soho gets naked. It has to be gang rape all the time. The rapist will say, “Pass the pork!” Jessica will say, “But where’s the apple?”).
GMA reporters vented their rage, with many criticizing them for their lighthearted treatment toward rape. Their jokes were deemed "offensive" and "tawdry" by online users.
Vice apologized for the situation during an episode of It's Showtime, despite initially defending their position by claiming that the humor they use is based on their roots performing stand-up in comedy bars and karaoke lounges.
===Nora Aunor===
Actress Nora Aunor took umbrage at Vice's sense of humor by abruptly canceling her appearance as a special guest judge for the Tawag ng Tanghalan grand finals. Being on the show with Vice worried Aunor because she believed Vice's brand of insult comedy went against her moral principles.
==Personal life==
Vice Ganda, who identifies as non-binary, doesn't mind being addressed with either masculine or feminine pronouns. Throughout their career, they have fought for queer rights and representation.
