Weekend Update on Donald Trump's Taiwan Call - SNL

[@aliastime9159]

The best part is when you can here Micheal laugh off screen after Collin tells a joke

[@brandonlantier]

Usually because Che wrote it, its most likely racist, and hes setting Jost up lol.

[@alanam7272]

The way Leslie like, holds Colin's cheek afterwards is so cute

[@kadeemleslie2988]

Imagine if Colin did that to Leslie? I don't find it cute.

[@duomxll]

Would've loved to see Michael's face during Leslie's bit

[@blackhokage1744]

can I get link to leslie's bit?

[@hbeachley]

I’m so sad Leslie isn’t on the show anymore. Watching her flirt/yell at Colin was the best part of the show in a long time.

Anyone else always watch both Weekend Update videos in the wrong order each time they are posted?

[@mamawray]

I don't get why its always two. If its about ad revenue, why not just make one and throw a commercial in the middle?

[@chey6073]

Hint: The video with Colin as the thumbnail is usually first

[@rikosborne1212]

Yeah, I just watched one where the camera pulled back to a wide shot at the end, and Kate McKinnon was kneeling on top of the news desk checking her phone. There was nothing in the video to explain that, so I have to assume she was in the first half.

[@nehaa4846]

that charity joke tho 👌🏽 also i need a book of all of leslie’s nicknames for colin

[@jzthompson9598]

She really had him pegged. lol I wouldn't watch any tv or news during the T**** years, so I missed a lot that is freaking hilarious in retrospect. Leslie Jones is someone I had missed out on, as well as Amber Ruffin, and Dulcé Sloane. It's about time!

[@a.wiggins9154]

I love how whenever they make honest jokes about Hillary the whole crowd reacts awkwardly because they probably almost all supported her. (rightfully so, when the other option was Trump, I'm just saying that a lot of times they don't even admit that her campaign screwed themselves)

[@darthsion3844]

She was an ass candidate. The jokes toward Hillary were deserved. I laughed at it, but it was no secret that the audience was pretty fucking awkward at the time. With that said, I still think she was better than Trump

[@keabonhall9046]

@Some Weebhonestly it seems like it’s playing on the nature of her being perceived as a large, sassy black woman and her looking especially powerful next to small catholic boy colin and that’s an uncomfortable dynamic when you look at it like that, but I think really what matters is that it’s not too sensitive to the audience and that they both are great work friends with great chemistry

[@NaptownClassic]

@Some Weeb You can't know how someone else would react if the genders were reversed here. You're so busy looking for reasons to be offended that you seem to have forgotten how offensive it is to speak for others rather than giving them the chance to speak for themselves.

[@NaptownClassic]

@Some Weeb What does any of that have to do with whether or not the person you replied to would react the way you predicted given the context you provided? You can't just assume that everyone will react in whatever way you imagine, and then criticize them for it when they have not actually done the thing you imagined they might.

[@NaptownClassic]

@Some Weeb Some people do, yes. But again, I have to ask what that has to do with the person you responded to. Some people, don't rage. You have no idea how the person you responded to would react, but brought your righteousness to bear on someone for no reason other than your assumption.

[@NaptownClassic]

@Some Weeb I made no assumption about your self righteous nature. You proved it when you attacked someone for their misandrist beliefs, despite their not having done anything that would betray them. I'm sure you're real popular on the men's rights forums.

Who imagined Robin Williams' "dawktah ruuth" sketch during this?

[@nightdreamer2315]

People really hate on Leslie, and most don’t understand she is just playing a stereotype character. This isn’t how she is irl just because this is how most of y’all see black women. Says a lot more about you than it does her if you don’t get that it’s not her “playing herself”. Like wow, you guys are seriously rude.

[@ghostofvalor4349]

Or it says a lot about the writers...

[@DJB1017]

Well yeah, isn't she is a lesbian in real life? Could be wrong I thought I heard that though.

[@davidwells9982]

Well, it may say something about how you see others, assuming that everyone else is intentionally being rude, or that we all believe a stereotypical personae of black women. Not all of us do, I think she's just affecting her personality because satire is one of the best forms of comedy.

[@DJB1017]

Sure, but satire that relies heavily on stereotypes is lazy and rarely interesting or funny. Some of the better comics out there have found fresh ways to play off racial/gender or sexual orientation stereotypes without coming off as either stale or tasteless (Bill Burr comes to mind), but these wannabes on KZbin and Twitter just fall flat. Playing on stereotypes for laughs is one of the most difficult ways to get laughs, only the pros can do it right because they worked up to it, they don't just do it because they think it's cool and funny to be edgy for the sake of being edgy.

[@danp1471]

Weekend update: 348 Trump supporters still don't understand SNL is comedy and not a serious news organization.

[@millman27hives]

Is that true?

[@theprinceofallsaiyans5830]

Lolz just watch the old weekend updates and you will spot the difference. The idea has always been to take a real headline but use funny details, like Fallons bit on a headline stating that someone wants to make a car that fueled by hazelnuts. Which he says “yeah an 8oz jar cost $9.00 hey i got an idea lets make cars that run on bald eagles and faberge eggs” real headline fake story.

[@theprinceofallsaiyans5830]

Also they did actually report on real stories. Like the oil line protest and the problem is people can’t even remember where they get their news from anymore. And all these mock news shows are just talking shit about trump and it’s old and boring. It’s the same shit the Russians where said to be doing and if it’s not clearly satire then people will absorb it as truth. Making it easier for foreign entities to distribute propaganda. News should come from a vindicated and well established source. And since those sources have chosen sides politically we no longer have them to rely on.

[@AmberAmber]

@@theprinceofallsaiyans5830 As much as I dont support djt, I definitely agree that pundits & corporate owned editorialized "news" has destroyed all journalism as an ethics-based & non-opinion-based reporting of news. I'm really happy I'm living back Canada cos the news here is still halfway actual journalism. Appreciated your words.

[@theprinceofallsaiyans5830]

Elektric Skeptic Yea biased news is a major concern. None of the major news groups agreed with or even contemplated a republican argument from the impeachment hearings. They where democrats 100% truth republicans 100% lies. For me that says it all. There is always good points on either side of an argument, so the fact that mainstream media and all these late shows pick and chose what to display and running a democrats are righteous hero’s narrative, is extremely dangerous for those less likely to think outside the box.
