Thank you SNL for finally cutting out the ridiculously long and unnecessary "random person rolling in for an interview" segment.

[@starvedrock314]

That was one of the best updates ever, holy cow. I lost track of how many times I had to rewind because I missed the next joke from laughing so much!

[@Mitchthemysteryman]

Of course they took Chernobyl, they clearly could use an extra hand.

[@rgwak]

Putin: "I am here on peace keeping mission to protect Russian brothers and sisters in Ukraine." Also Putin: "Surrender or die." Ukraine: "Dafuq?"

[@krawl04]

Noone is ever too old for a well placed "Yo Mama" joke.

[@dannybarlow9711]

"Michael You no pay me to talk baby" lol

[@AnitaBetterScreenname]

I can’t remember laughing and groaning out loud at any other weekend update. This was brutal! AND they closed with a Yo Momma Joke?? Ballsy! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Nastynati0513]

If they just did 30 minutes of weekend update every weekend, even in the offseason, I'd watch it.

[@Neilleeds]

We all would

[@1craley878]

So much joy, that would be awesome

[@gossamer999]

I was not expecting a yo mama joke. Fuckin GOT me.

"Sister to Sister"..it would be weird yet hilarious to see Tia and Tamera go rogue 😂

Straddling the line between offensive and funny can be tricky at best but these two put on a clinic tonight.

[@emmaburnett6905]

That was the best to momma joke I’ve ever heard 🤣

[@Ty-vj4wg]

I’d say they tackled the Ukraine Crisis topic right. They did it with class and still made it funny.

[@jasonhodges1378]

"still made it funny" - One country invading another, innocent people dying. Glad they did it with class and stopped more people from dying.

[@HH-pj1sx]

Does the reference to supposed promiscuity of Russian women is what "done with class means to you"?

[@mykoniichistorychannel]

@@HH-pj1sx It was one Russian woman, and he also made fun of himself.

[@mykoniichistorychannel]

@@jasonhodges1378 Bet you're a lot of fun at parties.

[@HH-pj1sx]

@@mykoniichistorychannel Thanks so much for this "thoughtful" explanation. Here is mine that should help you give it another thought: If it was "one russian woman", this joke would have no punchline. He is perpetuating a stereotype that every Slavic woman (he says 'his russian friend" but we are all russian to westerners, so yes every slavic woman) is either a prostitute, a stripper or a gold-digger. . Nothing is just jokes, everything has a connotation. As to your "he also made fun of himself" -- "Lonely inept guy" trope would be where even prostitutes refuse to have sex with him. The guy with money and woman he buys arent the entities of equal power cause you know "Money is power". Also, "I dont pay you to talk" is the expression, he just changed it a little to cover his a** is all. And instead of simply acknowledging someone's point, or simply ignoring it, you felt the need to "stan" for your boy cause he's obviously he is the one who needs your help (/s)

[@gcastillo6061]

I need these two to give the news on tv everyday

[@mykoniichistorychannel]

I'd watch.

[@princessravendiamond4288]

Agreed, I'd be more interested in the news if it was these two covering it

[@paulseylv]

lol yo momma that got the biggest laugh from me. Thanks SNL.

[@PlebeianTheWise]

Man, the writing on this episode was on point. One of the best updates I’ve seen.

[@jonesq63]

These guys are hysterical. Colin was a Savage tonight

[@mykoniichistorychannel]

They feed off of each other so well.

[@EvilEyeSun]

Best WE update I've seen in a while. Without all the BS sideshow characters stopping it in it's tracks.

[@OvSpP]

The fact that they cut down Weekend Update for the musical shows just how important it is to the SNL season.

[@joeymorvant161]

Thank you! I wondered why it was just Colin and Michael.

[@SamPeabody]

“Either he tried to flush classified documents or he eats the wrappers” Or he literally wiped his ass with the Constitution.

[@Sherman62]

Yeah, that bumpstock maneuver was some BS worthy of the lawless left.

[@MindlessTurtle]

"classified documents" ... but -her- his emails!!!!

[@Dottikance]

THANK YOU for uploading all one video. It's so ridiculous that usually weekend update is split into three very short videos each with a loud long outro music. Keep giving us the full update please!!!!!!!!!!!

[@christopherjustice6411]

Russia seems to be attempting a repeat of Finland in 1939. It did not go well for them.

[@aresnir2725]

It goes pretty well so far. Kharkiv is already taken.

[@christopherjustice6411]

@@aresnir2725 Nope. Kharkiv is still holding. All they’ve taken is Chernobyl, snake island and a few scattered villages, all for 5,000 Russian dead. That’s more casualties in 3 days than America suffered in all 7 years of the Iraq war. Morale is shit, Russian soldiers are surrendering and deserting in large numbers, the Ukrainian Air Force is still in the air and Kiev is still under Ukrainian control. Also, you guys have had like 3 failed paratrooper drops. The Russian Army isn’t an army of mighty Russian bears. Instead it’s a force of inexperienced, scared cubs. Cubs that Putin has sent off to the slaughter.

[@KdubbleYT]

They won that war; Finland lost 15% of it land.

[@christopherjustice6411]

@@KdubbleYT Ever heard of a “Phyric Victory” they defeated Finland. A nation they should’ve beaten easily after 5 months of fighting on the Finnish frontier. The Fins lost 25,000 dead, the Russians lost 167,000 dead. All for a few thousand square miles of uninhabited Forrest. Truly a glorious Russian victory.

[@aresnir2725]

@@christopherjustice6411 All information about russian causalities is not proven. Many Ukrainian soldiers also holds their weapons and surrenders.
