Colin Jost and Michael Che are great together, and have been doing this "write each other's jokes" thing for awhile now. It's easily the best and most refreshing idea SNL has had in years.

[@btbrotherton]

There are a few of these and they’re always hilarious. Genius premise to get some edgy comedy out in a time where everyone’s hypersensitive.

[@CRIMSON-FLAME1]

Wouldn't call it edgy comedy but just comedy. If we can't make fun of ourselves or each other then society hasn't evolved at all it's just getting weaker. I don't care how people live their lives just don't get your feelings hurt when your the but of the joke. If people can't handle that then they need to stay inside. Overall I agree with you.

[@paulw5039]

The thing that the recreationally offended don't get, is that jokes like these improve race relations. It de-fangs racism by making a joke of it. If they really cared about stopping racism, they should be encouraging comedians making jokes about it, instead of trying to cancel them.

[@CCJJ160Channels]

[@TheSlammurai]

[@Asin24]

It's crazy isn't it. Jokes end up being funny because they come off wrong which is why it's funny. Making light hearted fun of things even some more dark or twisted subject matter can be just funny. It's a way people do like to cope with darker subject matter. When you can make fun of something and take it less serious it's much easier to both connect people and find humor with it. It's why people who are soldiers or are doctors tend to enjoy dark humor as to lighten the mood since if its taken so seriously it can very quickly become depressing.

[@jsmaster4779]

Dark humor is quite a good coping mechanism.

[@CRIMSON-FLAME1]

Dark humor used to be normal but to many people are to into their feelings these days. It used to be people were desensitized but now it's been taken to the opposite extreme which is being way into your feelings to where you can barely say the word stupid without getting completely Karened by a man or a woman. I guess we can just say social justice warrior. I also believe the whole pronoun thing is annoying as well. If you don't understand that somebody's trying to respect you with the words yes mam or yes sir then I would say you have a identity issue and people will joke around about that as well. Jokes are supposed to be funny and come from left field so the punchline hits hard and end up being funny.

[@TheDravic]

There was a lot of darker matter to make light of in this skit.

[@Sunless1337]

"Humor is in the absurdity."

[@MadsterV]

@@CRIMSON-FLAME1 even worse, they DO find it funny, but they PRETEND to be offended, because they discovered they can benefit from that. I've seen many times some idiot laughing out loud, then catching himself, frowning and going "that's not funny" or apologizing. Terribly conditioned.

[@RuuryM]

The joke swap is a tradition they have but for the first time Colin actually gave Che some brutal ones. Che is always trying to get Colin canceled or murdered 😂 while Colin goes for mild/college type humor. I'm glad to see he is learning. This was the best joke swap so far imo. SNL is not terrible but it's very hit or miss. It's usually 4/10 sketches are actually funny 😅. Please don't destroy and Weekend Update are the best part of the show imo.

[@supermitendo9654]

The reason this is funny as hell is because the jokes are actually funny and the swapping bit only makes it funnier because the offensive jokes make the teller cringe. I find most dark jokes unsavory because most of them aren’t actually funny by themselves, but they’re relying on the offense to make it seem funnier to people who aren’t part of the group.

[@disguiseddv8ant486]

Dark jokes aren't unsavory. It's just you don't have a sense of humor.

[@sockpastarock7082]

I feel like this segment was honestly still pretty lame. I think a lot of people confuse the idea of being "soft" with simply not finding shock value race humor entertaining. I personally just dont find it interesting or witty and i think many others feel the same. Compare it to the standup crowd work of someone like stavros and youll see that this is just much more boring. Or look at how Shane Gillis approaches comedy with disabled people - the punchline is never so boring as "disability funny". This skit is literally just them trying to say things which sound a little racist for shock value. Thats it. Thats the entire joke. For every single joke. Over and over. I see a lot of people now who seem to think the peak of comedy is basically just "n-word funny". The closer you get to saying the n-word, the funnier your "joke". If you dont agree with them then they cope by saying its not that their humor isnt very interesting or funny, its just that you're "soft". I feel like the comedy in this clip kinda is pretty close to that.

Exactly. Well said.
