Weekend Update: Christmas Joke Swap 2020 - SNL

[@Suho1004]

Otherwise known as "The Annual Che Tries to Get Colin Canceled Fest." That Scarlett joke was gold, though.

[@canaisyoung3601]

And Colin Tries to Get Che #MeToo'd (which is being canceled because of a sexual offense). And it's actually "Semi-Annual", because they do a Christmas one and a season finale/almost summer one. And I remember when this was "The Annual Reading Jokes That Were Too Offensive for Saturday Night Live Fest" (seasons 41 to around 43). Guess with everything going on in the world, they decided to go in a different direction...one that reminds me of the Chevy Chase/Richard Pryor racist word game sketch from season one.

The Scarlett cultural appropriation joke was a double punch.

[@choppypony]

Cultural appropriation doesn't exist im sorry but it just doesn't. Culture is fluid, and everybody is a mixture of different cultures and so therefore nobody can lay claim to any single culture. These super "woke" theories only serves as us vs them propaganda that will help to divide people further than they already are. What is the purpose of drawing arbitrary lines between people based on some false dichotomy that pretends like every culture exists within a vacuum. The reality is that nobody's culture is separate from anyone else's and nor should they be. Culture lives on by being adopted by more and more people over its lifetime. Cultures that dont spread, die. It really is that simple. We are all human beings and our shared culture generally far surpasses whatever superficial differences there may be.

" rest in Power King, I'll take it from here." 😂😂😂😂

[@Olopnogitron]

Was sitting here thinking that Jost finally managed to win one of these when Che dropped that Scarlett Johansson joke. 💀🤣 Best joke not only of this installment, but the entire bit!

[@ParkerASMR]

"Rest In Power King" LMAO

[@misskit123]

I don't think I will ever not find this funny. Colin's little "oh god" before the final joke gets me every time 😆

[@jordansweet8054]

I always feel bad for Colin having to read/hear all those ScarJo jokes but then I remember he literally gets to sleep with Black Widow and I think, fair trade.

[@britnyank9002]

These two are absolutely the kings of SNL's news update in its entire history.

[@babie4405]

Colin always goes for the sexual jokes and Michael always goes for the racist ones lmao these are always gold

[@22ndCenturyGuy]

Everyone, Colin wrote “I’ll take it from here” at the end of the Epstein bit and Che COULD NOT bring himself to say it... That’s a check in the “Win” column for Mr. Jost!

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

But a bigger win for Che with the last joke.

[@Flow-J.Simpson]

@@BbGun-lw5vi nah id say if you can't finish the joke even after you've made colin racist twice already then Host gets this one (plus he had an extra joke)

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

@@Flow-J.Simpson Che always over acts to get people to laugh. It’s one of the things that bugs me about him even though he has great jokes. He laughs after every joke he tells.

[@WXVA9]

I like how at 1:21, Che goes from laughing at Colin's discomfort with the Rosa Parks joke to seeing Jeffrey Epstein on the graphic and thinking "oh, this could be bad."

[@li-23]

Colin: "Well...I KNOW he's going to make me say racist jokes, but at least after the show, I still get to home to my lovely wife. Che: "Yeah...Sure..."

[@yopedraza]

The moment I saw Rosa Parks I immediately thought "this could be the end of Spider-man"

[@AlexRN]

The only thing I didn’t like is that there isn’t enough of these segments. This had me for real full on belly laughing, especially with that Scarlett whammy of an ending. Che is just brutal!

[@jessetorres8738]

When I 1st heard that Scarlett Johansson joke, I originally thought "Oh, Michael's making fun of how she takes controversial roles like that time she portrayed an Asian character in Ghost In The Shell." After about 5 more seconds I realized "Oh, Michael's also making fun of Scarlett Johansson because she and Colin got married earlier this year."

[@tylerm4435]

I don’t get it

[@canaisyoung3601]

Can't it be both?

[@duckymomo6675]

She didn’t portray an Asian. She played a ROBOT.

[@3_up_moon]

Michael is trying to get Colin in trouble* lol

[@galm7]

@@duckymomo6675 People really don't know ghost in the shell huh?

[@sophiefriedenwald-fishman8442]

Scarlette Johansen joke initial reaction: ha yeah cause she was in ghost in a shell me 5 full seconds later remembering that her and Jost are married: OH MY GOD

[@davidmatheny1993]

I'm waiting for ScarJo to randomly appear on Weekend Update to jokingly attack or get back at Michael.

[@TooBadThatDidntKillMe]

"Okay, she really _can_ fight..."

[@robgnar316]

That Rosa Parks joke was rough LMAO 😂😆

[@jennifersman7990]

As long as Colin’s with ScarJo, they’ll have endless jokes

[@katies3338]

Already anticipating a break up?

[@fergalysssa]

i’ve been waiting for this one!! turn it up!!!

[@YouTube_user3333]

You know you have him f**ked when he can’t complete the joke 😂 Love this ❤ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@patriciaclarke7457]

The way Michael is looking at Jost, speaks volume. I'm still playin catch-up, LOVED these 2.

[@hawkeye6272]

They have the best chemistry

[@GoldenBlissWithin]

0:23 I thought for sure Colin was about to say "Well maybe they should try offering it with a Popeyes Chicken sandwich".

[@pcwkid76]

[CAMERAS CUT] Colin: So, I guess, I'm staying at your place tonight.

[@drewrichards]

Just when you think Colin gets the W, Che sneaks that last joke in there 🤣

[@RICKY50518]

Watching them cut between Colin's shame and Michael's joy/fake surprise makes my Christmas season

[@ashleyclark7392]

this should be just a regular part of update
