I thought it was a bit of forced headline tripe they made him say to lead up into the joke, because as "open" as SNL is, they're still corpo-owned. Corpo-owned in fact by.... checks notes One Brian L Roberts, Chairman, CEO, 33% voting power. One person controls SNL, a large chunk of US broadband, NBC in general, Sky media in the UK, and more.

must be a slow news day if colin jost is in the headlines

[-] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 23 hours ago

ZING! That actually made me chuckle.

[-] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 1 day ago

If you watch the clip he's only caught off-guard that the audience didn't even wait for a punchline; he clearly isn't totally surprised that people support him at all

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

He doesn't want to get fired for being right like Norm Macdonald did for making OJ Simpson jokes.

Please share with every New Yorker for no particular reason:

it seems like colin or his script was under pressure to not say anything that showed any support. that is definitely censorship.
i don't think he would have said anything shocking. but still.. he said nothing.

[-] modus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Well of course it's censorship. It's NBC. Owned by Comcast. Colin is thinking of the shareholders. Why aren't you?

[-] Sandbag@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

I doubt he's thinking about the shareholders, I'm sure his thinking is more immediate, like keeping his job.

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 175 points 2 days ago

He appeared shocked because he's joking about being shocked, which often includes "appearing shocked."

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 171 points 2 days ago

shocked

Omg huffpo, that wasn't shocked. That was Jost knowing exactly what would happen.

They got me with their clickbait this time 😢

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The richy-richy-richersons don't understand. And Colin is rich from his partner's wealthy lifestyle work.

They just don't get it. I am against the murder as much as I am against the murder of abortion doctors.

But if you have had this system sitting on your head for any amount of time ...

[-] crimsonpoodle@pawb.social 70 points 2 days ago

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?

[-] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

The joke was a bit strange, was it supposed to be that people are thirsty for him? I didn't get the punchline

[-] Donebrach@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

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

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] wetsoggybread@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

I thought they only swap jokes on the last episode of the season, which this one was

[-] yeather@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 76 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This is the same SNL that invited Elon Musk to host only 3 years ago.

[-] garretble@lemmy.world 54 points 2 days ago

And trump before that.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 54 points 2 days ago

The hero we deserve is pretty popular. Who woulda thought. I do not advocate his method. I simply like that people feel represented.

[-] ramsorge@discuss.online 10 points 2 days ago

Stop saying you don’t advocate it. There is seriously nothing wrong with killing people who hurt other people, especially for profit. There is nothing wrong with advocating for their death, after literally everything else has failed.

I really hope this becomes as frequent as school shootings. Maybe those school shooters will find a more appropriate way to vent whatever that crap is.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago

I don't want to get banned or have my post removed. I say the words that help prevent that from happening. I may say different words when I'm in private spaces.

I would never advocate his method as a first option, but it’s not like the healthcare companies just now started hurting people. Lots of people over lots of time, eventually that distills into one shot of very strong liquor

[-] CallateCoyote@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yep. How many decades are people supposed to wait while they see that their votes never get them any sort of change no matter which of the two corporatist parties who take money from that industry are in charge? If voting and protesting doesn’t work, what option is left?

At least Mangione did something, and he did it at great personal sacrifice.

I do advocate his methods. I hope he inspires many more heroes. I hope 2025 is the year of many more dead parasites.

Cowardly Attack

Everyone knows that it takes real bravery to simple die while waiting for your lawsuit against your insurance company to process. /s

[-] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 71 points 2 days ago

You're wooing for justice, right?

Yes they are, Colin. Yes they are.

Someone needs to mock up some time person of the year images with luigi on the cover.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

I saw one here on Lemmy a couple days ago.

Found it:

The hero we needed... both of you. Lol

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

That is why I kinda loath all these rich asshats. The totally don't get why we think the guy did a service to humanity.

The first video was a response from the police maybe? Calling anyone who defended his murder as vile. Am I vile for thinking that the leader of a corporation that chooses to deny life saving care for share holders dying is a good thing for the lives of many? Maybe it's not a proper societal action... Barbaric even... But why don't they say the same thing when it's someone's loved one who is being denied care? Or, better yet, the tens of thousands who have been denied?

[-] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

lol at police calling anyone else vile
