This post is annoying because it’s making me defend SNL and the very obvious fact that Jost wasn’t confused or surprised or showing disdain when the joke was literally that Bumble exploded because of Luigi. Part of weekend update is playing “the straight man.”

Like, does the younger crowd not understand that comedy isn’t all supposed to be earnest? People make faces and react to things in character and it’s not a reflection of their actual expectations or beliefs? I don’t know what Jost believes but it’s beside the point. They wouldn’t have done that joke if they didn’t expect people to understand why the punchline was what it was which is people are fangirling over him.

dude thank you I’ve been feeling like I’m taking crazy pills watching the reaction

On the other hand Jost called Biden a decent man during the genocide and his wife is a spokesperson for Soda Stream. So I don’t mind if people give him a little shit. lol

Not really relevant to whether he was hamming it up for the camera

I don't think he was playing the straight man. I think he didn’t expect that much applause and didn't know how to react

He reacted with a pretty funny line that played perfectly into the punchline of the bit. He absolutely knew what he was doing.

Needing an explanation for weekend update is sad tbh

this chatter is turning me into the joker

He even made cartoon shifty eyes to imply he can’t speak freely and people still didn’t get it

i’m genuinely confused by this argument… “definitely woo” is clearly a sarcastic line, making the joke that he’s being snide towards those wooing.. it was not disdain, but the point of the joke was definitely to deride the audience. whether thats bad or not is another thing

He was tsk tsking them as a joke on the fly. He was being sarcastic about it. It has nothing to do with his actual opinion.
