“That’s a death threat, in a news paper, who does that?!” I love Pete so much he had me dying 😂😂😂😂

[@rossradtke]

"Why do you think they hate you so much?" "I have no idea... but if I had to guess..."

[@DieMasterMonkey]

"Problem is, I don't know non-cursive either" holy sh*t that's pure comedy genius

[@starlitshadows]

This clip was really funny! The best part of this one was his interaction with Colin Jost.

[@brookemcentire8648]

this was high key funny im mad no one got it

[@sridevimk]

I see what you did there 😏 LOL

[@sridevimk]

Brooke McEntire seriously how can 2.3K people just like & move on?! this was genius 😅

[@alwaysuseless]

That first guy was just dumb and repellant. Too bad they didn't give Michael Che someone funny to work with. I agree this clip is funny, though, IF you start at 3:42 with Colin Jost and Pete Davidson.

[@AD-df5tm]

This might be the funniest I have ever found Pete Davidson.

[@bomoregie]

I am glad Pete is sober and clean now, he looks a lot better in every new sketch he is in. :)

[@acetate909]

He got sober from weed. He looks exactly the same but he probably has more anxiety now.

[@KD-sz7fq]

Branden Omoregie that's a great point, agreed!

[@amymesserschmidt2044]

@@acetate909 ugh for real I was so annoyed when he kept talking about getting "sober". It was just weed, which is scientifically proven to not be physically addictive. And then he started smoking shortly after again anyways

[@acetate909]

@xxGodx Not if you smoke every day moron. Seriously, just shut up. You're an idiot.

[@acetate909]

@@amymesserschmidt2044 Ya, it almost seemed like a joke but he was serious. Pete's a weird dude.

[@user-yf4mw]

“Don’t get me wrong. I know that Staten Island isn’t all heroin and racist cops, ya know. It also has meth and racist firefighters.” That line had me dying. Idk why, but term “racist firefighters” made me burst out laughing.

[@blackandgold676]

...and his dad was a firefighter there!

[@stephieirene1]

Pete Davidson is so good he makes Colin Jost laugh like he's hearing the jokes for the first time. (Is he?)

[@amazingsupergirl7125]

stephieirene1 probably. SNL is kinda thrown together. Pete really carried the bit well

[@makeupbyjessx13]

MORE PETE! MORE PETE! MORE PETE!!!!

[@AmericanPharaoh10]

"Staten Island isn't all heroin & racist cops. It also has meth & racist firefighters." END ME

[@TheAndieSixx]

This is old news but I'm so happy Pete came out as having BPD. I deal with it too so it's great to see positive representation

[@CwMGameplays]

How does one cheat at Scrabble, looking at other people's letters? Illegally switching your letters?

[@edb3366]

Having access to a dictionary, probably with a partner feeding him words into an ear piece

[@MkWii17]

The player in question looked at tiles after he drew them and then put them back in the bag if he didn't like them. Against the rules.

[@californiahummus]

Maybe he was going out with Monopoly on the side?

[@heyitscj7726]

californiahummus You deserve so many likes for that

[@dawnoceanside7300]

CwM Gameplays google scramble word finder.

[@taylorsj13]

That Pete Davidson segment was hilarious!

[@KikiIsBusy]

Pete is a national treasure!

[@abbydoesstuffsometimes]

Pete knocked it out of the PARK. Way to show that paper, dude.

[@TunaTheMiner]

Every comedy club has a guy like Bruce...

[@lexiblesi7640]

I got to see Kyle Mooney live and he played several of his roles- bruce being one of them. Good show

[@longdistancebrothers7326]

@7:00 can hear Mike laugh. warms the heart. These three be the best part of SNL

[@DrDermMD]

i think these are the best jokes by pete, really witty...

[@novembersierra7937]

My favorite part of Colin's performance was how he interacted with Pete Davidson

[@dark9oni]

That Staten Island guy was fuckin hilarious

[@jensenbell]

I had friends who complained that Pete wasn't funny. They all changed their minds after this one. Boom. World's smartest horse.

[@HappyMealPlusTax]

Pete was good and all but he could have been so much better if he took some notes from Colin Jost in that scene

[@patrickobrien5311]

I love Pete's weekend update bits

[@chaosmark101]

That was great. Pete Davidson always cracks me up!

[@alexander727hamilton]

Halfway through I came on to the comments to say no more interviews until I saw the comments about Pete..he killed it! Thanks commenters!!

[@porschecollector727]

This is the only news I watch on weekends! #unwind

[@BMoney8600]

The black and blue Friday thing was hilarious

[@DJMichaelAngelo]

awwwhhhh! Pete Davidson is looking SO GOOD!!! getting off the drugs definitely agrees with his appearence, his skin color is much better, his face contours are more natural looking, almost like he's lost a bit of weight - he looked beautiful before but GORGEOUS today!!! stay clean bro :)

[@brandih4567]

I feel emotionally connected with Pete Davidson

[@Greg-TC]

Why is the title about a joke that's 15 seconds of the whole nearly 9 minute clip?

[@pocahon8460]

I love when u guys can't hold the laughter back

[@JoseSanchez-jp6ot]

I got the same exact leather jacket from my buddies when I became an American citizen!

[@BB-sc1gc]

The last bit was hilarious!

[@scotthannan8669]

Bruce is still funnier than most of SNL

[@sabrinayahisreal1078]

SNL, I noticed on the map behind Michael Che does not show the great lakes like it used to, on the map that was there before. Without it, you don't see Michigan.

[@BrandonHardaker]

Pete was the best part of this. LOL 😆

[@VitaEx]

Man weekend update is usually good anyway but Pete made this made this the rest was ok but Pete was hilarious props guys

[@viktorreaper9748]

Pete: "ya know? Like a joke, but you mean it." Me:Yes pete I do know that. Half the jokes I've made in my lifetime are that. 😁🤘

[@kevinmcgahern7415]

Well done Bruce and Pete. Great segment

[@joeyg283]

McKinnon and Davidson are the best on SNL! People love them!

[@RequiemJr]

I loved Kyle's bit. Loved it.

[@Psyman2]

Pete is the sexiest horse I know.

[@birdman6025]

pete davidson is hilarious, he nails it every time

[@CC-si3cr]

Wait. What? Colin Jost is from Staten Island??? I would've guessed Connecticut or Scottsdale.

[@FrederickFokker]

PD is funny af and I hope he reads this. Yo, Pete...dire wolves ARE dope!

[@40blank]

That was Pete's best one yet!

[@TekNeez]

Y’all need to listen to Mark Maron’s WTF podcast with Pete Davidson. It’s hilarious.

[@TSZatoichi]

This one? www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episode-849-pete-davidson

[@emsleywyatt3400]

When my buddies and I would play scrabble we'd have a 20 point "dirty word" bonus.

[@yocampout]

Pete giving me Mr Robot vibes

[@borisn1426]

yocampout lmao ikr

[@x2ceyez]

He reminds me of Eddy Murphy when he was on SNL back in the day, atleast his weekend update appearances do.

[@frankb780]

Didn't know you could say "the fishES".

[@ladijae1]

LMBOOOOO about Staten Island falling into the SEA!!!!

[@willfernau4618]

They didnt even use the harry potter thing. They should have said Harry Potter Go: Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them

[@allyross2069]

petes bit was so funny also he looks way healthier

[@haravikk]

Why do SNL carve up the weekend updates in such an odd way? This is also available as a clip, why not just post this version and give a timestamp? Why the redundancy?

[@darksideon]

Colin looks like a character from the Incredibles.

[@jdavis1214]

Colin is bunny rabbit 🐇 cute 😍 Love his smile 🥰

[@kelliewilliams2895]

Pete Davidson and Jenny Hagel, a writer from Seth Meyer's show, look like they could be related.

[@TheSlick447]

I really liked Pete's interaction with Colin (sexy man). They should keep giving Pete opportunities where he can really shine (by being close to Colin).

[@motorcity7137]

This wouldn’t even have been a 12:50 bit when this show was great

[@annlamb2210]

Hilarious sketch. Great writing.

[@williamriddle3239]

I feel the same way about New Jersey...It's a great place to be FROM!

[@laureng2934]

Fucking loved Pete

[@BladeofThamuz]

Staten Island had a family.

[@GaryTurbo]

They could get a job with New England Patriots

[@BernieSandersOfficial]

You can’t play that in scrabble

[@etherealwraith203]

Colin looks like Pete’s older brother in this

[@michalhrdy577]

The Harry Potter game lmao

[@angganda2195]

Imagine if Colin Jost wore the same clothes as Pete but never in front of the spotlight.

Pain and Panic.

I laugh more during Weekend Update than any other part of SNL. Can we just make this a full show?

[@christianmejia9265]

Pete is great

They did. During the summer.

There are many funny sketches in this episode of SNL, but Pete's bit here is the funniest!

[@addie_is_me]

He as does!

That's a low bar, indeed. He usually is the work part of the show.

I’ve seen this soooo many times

[@zeniashanze1882]

Joseph Callahan...i always find pete's part the funniest. He can be the best and worst depending on your taste
