@@asiansrus2 it hasn’t, it was equally terrible then as it is now, and equally good now as it was then. most people just don’t remember all of the terrible sketches from that time that were dispersed amongst the amazing ones. nostalgia can be a powerful tool.
I think Lorne himself said everyone’s favorite era of SNL is the one they grow up watching. Since 1975, with all the cast changing every few years, they’re practically different shows entirely.
@@vexeqt Very true. IIRC, it's a form of Survivorship bias. We only remember the good skits of the past and forgot all the other garbage they would have shown.
“COLIN JESSICA JOST” always gets me Also, of course he is the punching bag! He pulled Scarlett Johansen and he went to an ivy league school. He also just takes it in good spirits.
"got" a 40 year old (looks like 48) used up passed around rejected has-been who has publicly humiliated him by saying she wasn't attracted to him. what a loser.
When they finally pivoted to Jost being Che’s whipping boy on Update, that’s when they went into the stratosphere. Plus the way he just hangs his head and takes it. Slays me. Norm is and might always be my favorite, especially because they tried to silence him and he did what he wanted anyway. Went out like a boss. But Chost(?) is easily #2. Especially when they go *dark*. The more the audience groans, the more I laugh. And Joke Swap? Well. We all know about that. Nothing more be said.
@@bsixtwelve9799 oh that is so funny how that terminology has a different kind of connotation now than what it did years ago. I mean he is married to one of the hottest women and existence... But he definitely does give off a certain vibe shall we say 🤣🤣🤣 But I was talking about more in the traditional comedy sense like Abbot and Costello and that kind of thing
actually I think they all really like him, this is clearly done without malice and going this far with jokes means they feel comfortable with their relationship with him
I love how it’s repeated roasters too lol. Che, Cecily and Sarah are always a treat on Update and you KNOW th they’ll do SOMETHING to mess with him lol
This was amazing!!! Thankyou I really needed a distraction/cheer up right now and this had me laughing throughout the whole vid. 🤣 my favorite part of snl thr last few years has been ,in the words of the title, Colin being snls punching bag 😅 I also him and Michael's chemistry on weekend update they really work well together. Thanks again for this vid 💕
The opening with people relieving the previous person is pretty funny and of course the getting shot and people totally justifying it ... what a trooper Colin is to take all this abuse!
Weekend Update is the only reason SNL exists nowadays. Consistently funny, no padding required, it’s the beautiful dessert at the end of a crappy meal.
Stefon: "New York's hottest club is HEY, YOU GUYS GOTTA NAME YET?!! Located in a decommissioned Staten Island ferry moored at Scarlett Johansson's formerly private yacht slip in the Hamptons, this place has it all..."
"... Revived Egyptian mummies who love to boogie. Straight male dance choreographers with 'skeleton' tattoos on their forearms. Teenagers who have succesfully transitioned - but not their GENDER. And the human roulette wheel. You know, it's that thing where a bunch of midgets paint themselves gold and lie down on the floor in a big circle, and then someone gets to spin them?" 😛
