Colins “oops” after shithole was the best
He seemed genuinely angry and I love him for it
How crazy. Btw there's phones in the refrigerator. Oops.
@@michaelkeehan8094 you
@@shhsjjbbjs4224 &&zohzzzzz
he said "oops 💅"
"That's like telling a kid you molested, ""Boy, did you grow up weird"". lol...holy shit. I mean, it's totally accurate when describing African history, but god damn.
David Knight You could make the same case for the Midwest as well.
How exactly is it accurate?
FavouriteDragon while creating conflict areas by paying mercenary groups to invade towns and villages and also draining Africa of its valuable minerals and resources making it hard for Africa to have a sustainable and independent economy.
And I'm sure those areas were a paradise before. All the genocide, slavery, war, and lack of technology was fantastic. Africa was shithole before colonization and from what we've seen, the countries that experienced colonization are the ones that are most successful.
Michal Purzycki they don’t want to colonize Africa. They just want its resources. That’s why they don’t give a fuck about Africa. They test biological weapons in Africa. Western civilizations have been raping Africa for centuries. The last thing they want is a strong and independent Africa.
"Calling Africa a sh*thole is like telling a child you molested, 'boy you turned out weird',!!" -Che ✊🔥✊🔥
Such a smart yet tragic joke
Chris’s Stedmen was underrated. He was hilarious with the blinking and hyping.
Che killed this segment. I was dying laughing at the entire Africa dispute.
The CVS part killed me
Angeltwin Otakustyle Che is awesome! You should watch his stand up. Highly recommended!
Belief is not a work Romans 4:5 you know he is the head writer at SNL now. LOL!! Burns huh racist?😂😂😂😂😂😂
Belief is not a work Romans 4:5 cry more, punk bitch
Belief is not a work Romans 4:5 I disagree. Also, I think lowly of you not because you say stupid shit but because you believe in a make believe sky fairy.
Congrats, Michael Che, on becoming the first black head writer at SNL!!! 👌🏼👏🏼💯
Affirmative Action and face saving move. I've got nothing against people of color. Just let them earn it like everyone else has to.
Is that why SNL has been funny again the last few shows? Something changed for the better.
Thrill Mill He's funny, and he's got edge. Two things SNL has been mostly lacking recently
Thrill Mill yet your words contradict you🤔
Now, I'm not a racist, but I know all racists foreshadow a racist comment with a personal defensive disclaimer. Next is an ignorant post-script to punctuate the intent of the thought.
“I want a boring white president” You got one!
"I miss the days when someone would say to me, 'Hey, did you hear what the President said?' and I'd be like, '...*no*!'"
He was right
@@jett2333 you mean again. Cause the current orange one has dementia on top of being deranged
Yes and its very peaceful.
YES. Thank goodness for that🙏.
Stedman's reaction to getting a question directed at him killed me lmao
che and colin are on fire here..
Some might say Fury
Always! Luv them both
"Can't we just have a boring old white guy president who smiles and turns into a lizard at night?"
AKA GEORGE W BUSH.
RJLbwb we already do? Trump doesn’t turn into a snake at night Mmm are you sure ?
@Nikki: No one... absolutely no one, would call Trump boring. Boring is the important word in that sentence. So important that the lizard thing would be ok... as long as we get boring.
@@MICHGO1 "I'm the sheriff!"
@@nikkimendoza2720 He's impervious to change. Also, being an orange lizard would just make him standout more. "Gina. Bigly."
The shapeshift line was genius 😂
Che's "It's like telling a kid you molested, "Boy did you grow up to be weird'", was excellent. Perfect
we really shouldn't have to tell our kids "just 'cause the president said it, doesn't mean you can say it."
Alexander Burns This is where we are now 😡😩
Yes tell the kids unless they want to turn orange joke they shouldn't say what he said lol
Alexander Burns kids these days watch politics now....really?
When your white kid says racist ignorant shit. You now can say don't you dare say that because you will turn into a cheeto with a bad hair day...
Isn't it sad 😞.
At times I believe Trump agreed to team with the writers of SNL pre election and said "Hey guys, how would you like four years of just UNBELIEVABLE material?"
Reddinah Redmond that’s a great point. It makes sense too
@@veronicam2942 no, it's not.
Stevie Yes it is. They always go extra crazy in the sketches, whenever there’s a republican President. They did it with Bush and they’re worse with President Trump. All Obama’s sketches were funny and light hearted. They kissed his ass.
Veronica M Obama didn’t give comics much to work with, but Clinton sure did
Make that eight.
Y'all killed it, Michael, Colin, Chris & Leslie was absolutely fabulous as Oprah. All of them were hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:26 "trump and porn-store" if only they knew by 2020 that a porn store wouldn't be out of the question for a trump rally #FourSeasonsTotalLandscaping
2:08 - "...so the president of the United States calling Africa a shit-hole is like telling a kid you molested "boy did you grow up to be weird!". Also, equally true for Haiti. Che rules.
"All my life I've lost to bread!"
brb, laughing forever at Colin's innocent expression while breaking the rules of network television to make a point 😂 this episode of weekend update, this clip especially, was really funny
that is so dum of a rule to i have to point out. bruh snl comes on tv at damn near midnight and its on saturday. that literally means tv MA mature audiences. that tv 101 ask adult swim. they let EVERYTHING fly past 9pm💯💯😂🤣🤣 stop with the stupid rules XD
This whole weekend update might be the best hard hitting written update ever! Jost and Che absolutely killed this one.
Oprah: I’m the only woman in America that’s on a first name basis with Dr. Phil, Dr.Oz and Dr. Dre. Stedman: That’s the whole Medical community. Rotflmao!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just wait until Kanye West runs.
Dr. Oz is running for Pennsylvania Senate
This Weekend Update contains so many succinct analogies, it could double as an SAT prep-course.
"prep-corpse"
chio uruakpa Lol! Thanks, autocorrect. And it still somehow got more upvotes than 90% of my YT comments. I feel like there's a lesson here...
Joel Farrelly I wish you had left it
Joel Farrelly that idiots are on KZhead?
The SAT no longer has analogies :(
"'Pornstar blackmails president" is like the 4th biggest headline of the week"
Michael Che in 2018: "can't we have a boring white guy that smiles?" Americans in 2020: YES
Please not another celebrity billionaire for president! Haven’t we figured out that celebrity doesn’t translate to politics? Not the same thing at all.
Kate Gallagher SHE'S SMART !! JUST LIKE HILLARY IS SMART ! STOP WITH THE FALSE EQUIVALENCY !!! THIS IS WHY WE HAVE A RACIST RATPUBLICON RUSSIAN TRADER IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Trump's in the white house because some random internet commenter doesn't want another billionaire with no politcal experience as president? Wow.
She’s smart in her field, which is not politics. She’s great at her job,no doubt about that. And that would be a racist ratpublican Russian trader billionaire celebrity, not someone who understands or is good at politics.
Kate Gallagher CA know this before when we put a celebrity into governor for reasons
Well, based on how people keep referring back to him it seemed to work well for Reagan. Maybe not the American people, but they still seem to praise Reagan as a good president anyway.
The First Stedman 😂😂 I feel like we haven't gotten to see a lot from Chris so far, but that line got me
"Shatter Hoven" 😹😂🤣
Colin's Puerto Rico jokes are always so good
This was just really funny. well done Colin and Michael!
Simon James agreed
Simon James AND THE WRITERS
SNL, it's how Webster's has redefined POS.
Thanks!
They told me to tell you thank you. Just kidding, who gives a shit.
Colin Jost killed ! He is perfectly set up to host his own late night show in the near future.
colin jost also does standup comedy,saw him awhile back on gotham comedy live
Yeah, I know the particular set you are talking about, and I enjoyed it as well.
I'll have to disagree slightly because as a lifelong SNL fan, I see him following the same path Seth Meyers did previously. Even with the limited content, he's appearing on people's radar every week. He has greatly improved his delivery and timing in the past two years, and it shows. Plus, he's a chilled out, good-looking guy, who happens to be dating Scarlett Johansson. I think he'll get a chance to host a WHCD gig within the next few years, and that will elevate his growing reputation in the industry.
Colin and Michael Che are the best duo on SNL. Their weekend update is so hard hitting and clever, it's history being documented without the b***s**t!!
Lmfao... you guys were killing it Saturday. I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard before. You guys are one of the main reasons why I watch the show
"President Drumstick"😂I love Colin so much.
I have a question. Has anyone even asked Trump if he knows what collusion means? I don't think he really knows what it means.
lol!!!!!!
Landfair; what does it mean? Do tell?? Feel free to give the legal definition smarty pants....
Saint James - it's not a legal term but just an ordinary-language term. The legal documents will say other things such as conspiracy to do such and such. Probably will vary with the context.
Saint James .... Learn how to use a dictionary and look it up yourself idiot.
Woolman; so? Hilary should be in jail.... she did 1000x worse than 1 meeting.... My Lord you are a jack ass
One of the funniest weekend updates ever. Both guys were on fire, and the Lavar Ball ending was just the cherry on top
"I hate bread!!!" Leslie is amazing.
"Just repeating a phrase doesn't make it true" Sadly, it works just fine with some (most) Foxnews and Breitbart viewers. As long as the phrase fits their preconceptions, of course.
Same could be said for MSNBC and the fake news media
Philippe Nachtergal I think there is a lot of disinformation and dishonesty in the media from all sides. It's more about tailoring the news to personalities and political factions than truth
Uncuckable MotherTucker what have they lied about? They may scew things to one side or other sometimes but they don't lie about anything like Fox News who has literally just made shit up . When MSNBC and CNN make a mistake in their stories they go on a 3 day apology tour for god sakes! Have you ever seen a right leaning news organization apologize for getting a story wrong or just making them up!? Ofcourse not , even when it is proven to be a lie or completely misleading they will either double down on it or pretend that it never happened . That is the difference between left leaning and right leaning media.
Chelsea Jones CNN and even fox are all controlled by the same people. CNN lies all the time they are just entrusted with controlling the mainstream narrative so we just don't know when and where the lies are.
+Chelsea Jones Well said and correct. Now, some comments on MSNBC (in particular, much less so on CNN) are far fetched and borderline outrageous but, unlike Fox and other right wing medias, comments on MSNBC are relatively well separate from facts. They won't discuss thing taking for granted some big conspiracy theory sh** and they won't present comment segments using all the codes of news segments like Fox does. (And yes, the like of O'reilly and Hannity will once in a while say they are commentators but everything is done so you'll forget that distinction)
Leslie Jones as Oprah was perfect! Love ya LJ 💜
It was good but she kept messing up
"Can't we just have a regular one for a while" yup you got it now che
This was the funniest weekend update in a while! I actually laughed out loud multiple times lmao
Che Jones and Jost win at news again ,without comedy like this we're screwed seriously.
President drumstick 😂😂😂
President Drumpfstick maybe?
gigglyme2001 You can't call RESIDENT DUMP ! A DRUMSTICKS
No matter how many times I watch this it is soo great. They killed it. 😂😂😂
This is one of the funniest weekend updates I have ever seen 😂😂😂🤣
Che has such a bright future 👌
Dr.Leonard Church I love him!
Kenan is insane. I think he’s naturally comedic, Che is witty and might be too introverted to take his smoking jacket off to do the characters Kenan does.
On point after point after point.💯
I liked Che's comments on Africa and the link he drew between some African countries instability with the centuries long exploitation many African countries have experienced. Excellent point.
Dare I say this is the best installment of Weekend Update ever? I do. I do dare.
Alright, Colin. You earned my respect there.
Todd Johnson I love Colin. He is underrated.
He rocked it. I was very impressed with his performance. I also like leslie we oprah but damn she messes up her lines every single sketch and she comes off really rehearsed
She is a brilliant Oprah!
5:01 I guess Michael che's wish came true.
"Stedman" cracked me up!
leslie as Oprah is golden
Fantastic!
I really hope she doesnt run. I mean the president should be someone with law experience, and some time dealing with our political system. She just runs a TV network
exactly. great cleavage! sorry. just saying.
She’s terrible. She can never get through a monologue without stumbling over her words.
Can we just say how good Leslie Jones was as Oprah??? 😂👍🏻
She was nothing like Oprah. Oprah is far more eloquent and tempered. Leslie was playing Oprah, yet again Leslie was playing Leslie.
Yep, and since this is comedy, Jones wouldn't be expected to exactly duplicate Oprah anyway. It was funny and nicely done. #Jones2020
She looked good though
Yes.
Worst cast member ever.... never gets her lines right....
Weekend update is consistently very good and usually the best part of the show. Even if the rest of the show went downhill I’d still watch this every week. Very very good
"Shithole...Oops." Oh, Colin. This is why we love you.
I like how the captions are bleeped but the audio isn’t.
EFFECT.
This was the best Weekend Update in a while! Love these :D
Crash the party, Trump is the best president ever Trump 2020
"hey did you hear what the president said?" and I'll be like "nooo". LOL! I miss that too.
I’ve never heard Stedman talk, I have no idea if his impression was spot on but still laughed hysterically 😂.
DAMN, Colin killed this!!!!!
Che is awesome
don't let it get you down, man
That's pretty racist, jay. Linguists and other experts don't give a shit about "correct" language - that's not even a thing. You've got no excuse.
Are you having a nice day?
Why because he’s black? Racist.
Belief is not a work Romans 4:5 It’s clear you’re trying to make a political point, but using Che to make a case against quotas is totally unsustainable, if you want to be objective about it. (Do you?) He’s got hundreds of thousands of fans, toured 3 continents with his latest show, is headwriter for snl, ... aren’t those reliable indicators of success? He’s by any stretch a very accomplished comedian, even if you happen to think he’s not funny. If someone wins Olympic gold at curling, is the merit of that achievement lost, because you happen to hate curling? 🥌🏆 Anyway, I think he’s razorsharp.
"and with a straight face" Bravo !
The STORMY joke is great!
I Love these guys #Savage
If you really listen to this, the writing is really really good. Well done. Funny AND smart.
GrotrianSeiler It's Michael Che as head writer at SNL. He is sharp, clever, and on point. I highly recommend his stand up shows. They are on KZhead.
When he says "no collusion" the more FBI should really investigate.
t y And when he says bad things like the "shit hole countries", he denies everything and he even pays to people to cover his fat farty ass by sticking to his world. This man is awful!
Michael Che is amazing, and I love Colin.
I've been laughing my ass off watching this video. Great job.
Colin's hair looks hella good here. COLIN looks hella goo- welp ok I'll see myself out now
When you are dating Scarlett Johansson, you have to step up your game.
Colin saidddd “oops.” Legenddd
"American President calling africa a shithole is like... calling a kid you molested, boy did you grow up weird"❤️ golden
Lol I love Leslie Jones’ Oprah impression xD it’s so good!
Whitney Elizabeth What show were you watching?
Whitney Elizabeth Leslie's lines were a mess
La Judía Jodona Leslie Jones makes too many people uncomfortable!! She is fantastic, if she is getting a lot of negative comments, she is doing it right!! Love her.
Michael is brilliant.
2:28 “between Porn store” damn they predicted four seasons landscaping
T-shirt worthy... "Boy did you grow up weird" so well put
America is quickly becoming a Shatter Hoven indeed..
Bobby Robertson ? To break with disease?
Quickly becoming? The second that asshole took office is when when it started.
I'd rather live in America than Norway.
Taxanboii How you duz grammar?
Bobby Robertson, still these places aren’t just shitholes because of us, it that the most powerful there control everything
Absolutely fantastic! Tears running down my face laughing. Watched 3x and still lol! Later today will have to watch the Sunday news shows which will elicit different tears! Well done and thanks for the laughs from this ancient SNL fan! (I loved the coneheads)
I can't get enough of these guys! They're freakin great
Damn, Colin was on fire!! Him getting mad is fascinating to watch!
colin jost is a king
Kathryn Beeman he sux,liberal SJW’s
Justin Meyer Hahahaha! Triggered! I won
Maybe another "celebrity" President isn't what we need (I don't know), but to make it sound like Oprah would just be another Trump is ridiculous. She may not have political experience, but she's not psychotic.
quite the bar to set :)
Shit, no "president" is gonna stop the wars. No President is gonna try to end poverty. Thats how the rulers of this bitch make money and they kill everybody who tries. President or no.
Uh, she said “white people just need to die.” Until Democrats realize this is not a winning narrative they will never see the WH again
Bill S shut the fuck up
Can we please try and vote for some one with actual political experience to run the country in the primaries? Don't get me wrong if it was a choice between Oprah and Trump I would vote for her but please lets try to not be forced to do that and pick some one more qualified in the primaries.
Props to Chris! “No one’s ever asked me a question before!”
the fact that we can say “remember when opra was going to run for president” and they would say no is hilarious
the part about helping at least one storm wasn't as much funny as just sad. even right now PR struggles and large parts are still without electricity, clean water and access to medicine. yet it somehow disappeared from public view. out of sight, out of mind much? please don't forget about those Americans in need of support.
Why the heck is anybody still in Puerto Rico? Unless they are there to work with cleanup or rebuilding, they have to have family somewhere. Even if they don't, water and electricity are pretty vital. (I guess this does sound a bit rude. Sorry)
Same with the U.S. Virgin Islands, they were hit pretty hard but then all the coverage went to Puerto Rico. They just move on to the next tragedy and forget about the last. The sad part is that they are both U.S. territories, but no one seems to care.
Though it was wrong to say it was Trumps fault, FEMA and local government were the reaso.
SNL... as American as apple pie 👍
An institution!
I don't live in America but I can buy apple pie in my country......what is this world coming to? 🤔🙃
ady4r exactly
Um... Apple pie originates from the UK...
Fuck snl they are not funny. I miss madtv
They absolutely KILLED it this week! The best jokes in a long time... about our joke of a president.
These two are so great together. Definitely the best Weekend Update.
Leslie Jones looks like Oprah.
i looooove these guys :D First thing i watch Sunday morning on You Tube as i can't watch them live. Yay!
This is by far the best Weekend Update in decades.
Not usually a Leslie fan, but she nailed Oprah's voice here. Well done!
Stedman. Flava Flav of the Winfrey household.
I highly enjoyed that. Thanks guys!
1:51 Asked? Lucky you. We’ve been straight up demanded to.
I cannot stop watching weekend updates 😂😭
Wow!!! That is the best Oprah I've ever seen! Holy shit.
Ok, that’s the best Oprah I’ve ever seen!
Weekend Update is consistently hysterical, week after week! Easily the best part of SNL, Che and Jost have been killing it! Jones' Oprah was alright, but it pretty good for her first time impresonating Oprah!
This was the only video I was looking for. The beginning segment of the Weekend Update.
