SNL Weekend Update Joke Swap

It sounded like there was more to the last joke but was either cut for time or Jost killed it

these segments are about the only ones worth watching these days on SNL

the female Rabbi that kinda reminded me of John Cussack's high school teacher in Grosse Point Blank.

Yeah, you can’t just throw a rando on SNL. That’s rabbi with a SAG card, or at least she has one now.

You must have a highly refined sense of humor. What’s that like?

I usually enjoy this segment. But my problem with it is this:

Remember when we used to be able to tell jokes and laugh about it, even when it was non-pc?

It’s ironic that SNL, which leans heavily liberal obviously, thinks this is funny yet the same ideology wants to cancel someone like Shane Gillis for making “racist” Asian jokes.

Comedy is comedy. And comedy is often times racist, sexual, offensive, whatever. Picking and choosing what is acceptable and what isn’t is a slippery slope for comedy.

So while I do find it funny when Che and Jost trade jokes (most of which are racist and sexist), they should apply that same mentality when judging others and their comedy. It should all be kosher IMO.



ETA: I watched the clip and it definitely isn’t as funny as some I’ve seen previously. But it still was pretty good.

That one was really good.

Usually the joke swap is the funniest thing they do each season but this one didn’t really do it for me

I wanna be like you when I grow up

The liberal ideology in a nutshell: only the "approved" people can do certain things.

Pretty much every time I see these, at least a few of the jokes are pretty funny (can’t say that about anything else SNL does)

He’s a weird dude, but I think Michael Che is a funny guy in general
