    This is so dumb—watch the video! The whole joke was that “Bumble exploded”—would someone who didn’t know Luigi Mangione is popular make that joke?

      Note that for Weekend Update, Colin Jost and Michael Che write the jokes for each other, and they don’t see them until they’re reading them live.

          Maybe? That’s what I’ve seen in all the clips, so maybe those are the only funny ones that get shared.

          Regular episodes is a combination of their own jokes and jokes from the other.

        The joke swap is a frequent feature, but it’s not a universal property of Weekend Update.

        Are you either not American or living under a rock? Everyone is thirsting after him. The joke is not “strange” unless you do not understand what a physically attractive person is.

          I’m not American, I didn’t know it was like that, it kinda reminds me of that black mirror episode “Fifteen Million Merits”
