Weekend Update: Earthquake and Eclipse on the 4.8 Magnitude Earthquake and the Solar Eclipse - SNL 

The audience reaction was proof 😂😂 FIRE

It sure was

Love the quit his WWE Energy voice just for that/ then went straight back😂

1:10

When he said "the New York" earthquake I was like "Hey it..." and then he says that, I was thinking "Oh, well played writers.....well played.." 😂

OMG, missed opportunity

That would’ve been epic. Period I mean biblical😂

It should have been Seth Meyers, wearing that knit hat sent in by a fellow Jackal for his upcoming musical "Cicada Cicada" starring Nathan Lane, Christine Baranski, Harvey Fierstein, & the NY Mets. 🐾

@@Kitty8791 I was thinking about that! 😂

Damn that would’ve been prime

Both?

Well, it was only a 4.8

It looks like a graduation cap with some springs and cut outs on it 😂

The eclipse character is crazy funny

I'm now reminded of the horn falling off Bowen's Krampus costume.

Came here to say this.

Saw him do stand-up during the writers strike and he was hilarious.

That earthquake costume worked because of Marcello Hernandez's energy.

Can you feel the Kenergy?

In less than 24 hours no less

much love to the costume team

It's a fault line with a city on top while Marcello shakes. It's fucking brilliant.

Not least for all of the insane conspiracy delusions. lols

@@aylbdrmadison1051 4.8 earthquakes all over the world before the 4/8 eclipse. You’re done.

Earthquake vs eclipse, wrestlemania night 2!!!!!

And my birthday!

Also trump hush money case starts for realzies.

🤣😂🤣

Ohh... okay🤭.

my new favorite team. loved the towel boys skit too.

😂very funny

Yes, that was the energy. I couldn’t place it at first.

Exactly what I was thinking lol

It's really good. An homage to Farleys El Nino skit too. Love it.

Preach!!

100% agree! 😊

@@dino0228 👚⬅️ YOURS?

❤ a good sun pun 😂

And why not? It may be the city's current favorite hobby! DiBlasio must be so glad to be off the hook....

NYC is on a steep financial decline with rising crime and a housing crisis.

@@JenningsFilmsinc I've lived in NYC all my life. Crime ebbs and flows here, as always. Housing gets more expensive. Nothing new. The city still thrives.

​@@serendipityshopnycBut as one New Yorker said in the news. "What does he care? He doesn't ride the subway?!"

🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Since it's a total solar eclipse, I HIGHLY recommend you DO look directly at it, but only once totality has actually been reached.

@@pauldickman4379lol

👗⬅️ YOURS?

They are usually the best parts of update. Remember the iceberg and lantern fly? Best ever.

@@mapples007 Haven't seen lantern fly yet, but iceberg was why I was willing to check this one out.

If you find this or the iceberg funny then you should watch all the interviews because that's usually the quality of content.

whaaa? don't skip Weekend Update historically these are the heat

Same!! But saw Keenan and Marcello and clicked! Glad I did

'a bunch of teeny, tiny, punches, like a scary massage!' . . . made me imagine Cat-zilla making biscuits. 😹

there's a viral clip going around of a news caster saying wait until Monday's eclipse earthquake. and the 4.8/4/8 synch.

An earthquake is not out of the realm of possibility. Recent studies have indicated a higher possibility of earthquakes as the full or new moon are directly overhead, due to gravitational forces. Now you have Sun and Moon gravitational force in conjunction, over New Madrid mo. On April 8th. New moon 1:21 C.D.T. On April 8th. Totality of eclipse 1:56 C.D.T. Over poplar Bluff Mo. . Weirdly enough Devil coment was present during great 1811 earthquake. So the timeline is interesting. A phenomenon which is generally not realized is that the air and solid landmasses also move up and down due to tidal forces.although the movement is much less in the land than in the sea.. it can amount to a meter of vertical shift. Reference “ Scientists discover connection between full moon and earthquakes “ Time magazine September 13,2016. Just saying.

I found the whole thing immature and silly. Though maybe because I'm a mature adult. Am I right in guessing that you are the teenage demographic that this content is aimed at.

@@DJ-Eye You're spot-on. I am a teenager, or at least was on Oct. 11, 1975 - the airing of the first SNL (with George Carlin as host), which I watched. Fun fact - I didn't remember who else was on that show, but it turns out that Janis Ian was a musical guest, and I'd met her (very briefly) years before that show, when I was around 10. So now that we've established that I'm (at my core) young and otherwise immature, what's a sober fellow like you watching the show for? Surely you should be perusing the NPR channel, no?

@@davidg3944 That was a well thought out and somewhat funny response (dry humour is appreciated in the UK). Have you thought of writing sketches for a living? I stand corrected on your age, forgive my naivety of U.S. sensibilities about their cartoonish late night entertainment. As for why I am here - I was looking for Kimmel and fell down a rabbit-hole.

@@DJ-Eye You are far too kind, my writing abilities are just above mediocre and would not afford me a living. If there are grains of wheat among the chaff, some of that may be due to my love of MPFC, absurdist humor is among my main influences (read: coping mechanisms). And similar to Python, many of SNL's writers came from renowned colleges working at their craft in front of fellow students. There's cleverness among the dung, sometimes you just need to ignore the smell...

@@davidg3944 We may have an excess of chaff in common, alas. I grew up with MPFC and the slighly more 'establishment' Two Ronnies - they do hold a special place in my heart. On a nostalgia note, The Brittas Empire is worth a watch if ever looking for a wealth of the obsurd.

Me too!

What took you so long?

He's been my SNL crush since last season! Loved him in Timothee Chalamet's Baby Face monologue skit. "I got a baby face, but I'm hung like my dad." I don't doubt it.

Did you watch The 'HR Meeting' sketch til the very end? Key phrase "booty khakis." 🍑 You'll thank me later. 😉 [airdate 2/24/24]

Well, you have to be fit to be an effective earthquake.

😂

Colin already said that.

Yup thats what he said ????

The earth quake went away……..to bad the same can’t be said of Donald trump!

Watching this, I’d rather stare at the eclipse.

You must be so clever to be able to figure that out.

It's called a mortarboard.🙄

@@andrewvelonis5940 Definitely a graduate student.

That's definitely what they used for the hat. And it looks like a high school one, because I can imagine high schoolers decorating their grad caps with crazy stuff on it. Not that college kids don't do it, either, but most colleges pride themselves in having dignified graduation ceremonies. If it were a junior college, then I can see it.

....:) Really Probably 24 hours...!!!....:)...🤣

10000% my thoughts too!!

If the earthquake isn't forgotten by then

And they only had a day to write it

I feel like if you were determined, you could make one without too much difficulty.

@@christopherlundgren1700 I'm crafty.. but not that crafty...

They'd be smart to sell them in the NBC gift shop.
