Gen z needs to not be such over sensitive pussies
Interesting to use the black guy for the j tribe joke.
Berenstein or Berenstain??
Israel joke :)) sad but true and funny
I am from Russia and a lot of people here are avoiding getting the vaccine while you are committing frauds to get one :D
There’s a bunch of antivaxers here too
What if SNL just tried to be funny?
You’re mad
Have a laugh people Don’t take it to heart We gotta stop being so thinned skinned
I'm old enough to remember when SNL was actually funny,...
You’re mad
Is it me or did SNL get slot better since they haven't been so focused on politics?
No, don't apply that term to Cruz. First because it enables that jackass to keep on passing off the blame to his wife and kids,instead of being held personally accountable. Second, because it is and was a kink term that has been repurposed into a slur by exploitative and emotionally damaged con men who charge lonely men money to "teach" them how to became a He-man. The whole thing is crap, and not helping anyone.
The Israel joke is just a fact, so not so funny, just an observation.
no one is free until everyone is free! f r e e p a l e s t i n e
"Florida man, Florida man, must be something in the air, water or sand."
Simp is literally from the beginning of covid they are BEHIND
Catholic Church: "No touching", definitely needs to become a rule.
SNL should not apologize for the Israel vaccine joke. It's the truth.
Facts
che is dope! ✊✊✊
Just imagine if they made a joke saying America vaccinated Half of its population just the white or black half, It would be fucking racist, To be racist Or anti-Semitic in a joke Or under ones breath, doesn’t make it any better. It is sick and we need to move past this kind of dividing sh!t
Are they still trying to pass "Berenstain" as "Berenstein"??? You can give it up, you not gonna fool me!! It doesn't even look right as "Berenstain"!
Had to come here after hearing about the Israel joke backlash. That joke is funny. Comedy is an art form that can take the pain in the past and use as a punchline to be in the present. Art is Love. Comedy crosses lines. Just a thing.
That thumbnail looks so wrong 😨😨😨😨😨🍌
Every joke was on point! Great work.
Amazing how the Antisemites and apologists for Islamic Terrorism come out of the woodwork since China Joe Biden seized power in a coup and the TV networks that helped him do so put out this filth on its TV shows.
What antisemitism? Where are people promoting or excusing Islamic Terrorism?
Did SNL learn NOTHING from the dailyshow? Quit hiring these boring token hosts
That black dude might have the worst comedic delivery I've ever heard.
israel joke is fact not joke is the sad thing
The Isreal joke had me hahaha, but so sad that the joke is even possible
🤣😂😅
No Palestinian got the Vaccine, Under International Law Isreal is responible for vaccinating Palenstinians!
two things I am cliche about and can’t get enough of in 2021 Bernie memes and sh*tying on Ted Cruz
While it was good, my favorite part was Dunkin' Donuts!
Israel is an apartheid state !
The priests put the palm leaf ashes on the forehead on Ash Wednesday. They are not wiping them off.
As a Floridian I do not claim these people
The Jewish half love it.
Why are people finding this funny?...it's stupid as hell...I guess if your 10 years old it may be funny or maybe 8...
Michael Che speaks 100% FACTS !! Israel IS the modern day version of the old racist apartheid South African government. I feel so sorry for the Palestinians ! BTW there are good Jews in Israel,. Just not many with power to change anything ( right now)
SMH... Obviously the SNL joke writers are desperate to prove that they can be as funny as I am... Unfortunately... The burden of responsibility you have writing jokes for network television obviously diminishes your potential of EVER being as genius and controversial as me... So now herein lies the peril you have constructed in an attempt to have a bit of petty recognition... That is why your Jew joke is hilarious... Not because of the joke... But because of the obvious aftermath of the outcry... Bwahaha it would have been easier to extend an invitation for my audience, but instead, your selfish envy and ambition to razz me has put yourself in an disadvantageous position... Not to worry I will accept your apology when the time comes and you grovel at my feet with the biggest offer ever... Cheers... I won't let you lose...
Is it Berenstein Bears???
I don't watch SNL these days. But that was funny. Everyone is fucking offended anymore.
If SNL fires Michael Che for his great jokes, I WILL NO LONGER WATCH SNL!
snl = antisemites. Blessings from an european zionist christian.
@Les Paul Why was what Hitler and Arafat have done antisemitic?
@Kurt Fleischmann Why was it antisemitic?
@Les Paul "I guess the jewish half of Israel got their vaccination." That was antisemitic.
What was antisemitic?
Love that Israel joke. - a Jew who’s been to Israel.
@David M agreed! I’m hoping one day that Palestinians and Israelis can share that land peacefully, that’s what should’ve happened in the first place
@Emma Sonny I agree. I've long said that Netanyahu ruined Israel for me, the same as trump ruined America for me. Hopefully, one day they'll both rot in jail and ruin nothing any more.
At first I thought it was a little touchy, but sometimes I have to remind myself not to let my Judaism blind me to the Israeli government’s actions. They deserve to be criticized.
Michael Che, tell me you’re antiemetic without actually telling me you’re antiemetic
@Julia It's a joke, not a dick- don't take it so hard
@Joshua Banner comments like his perpetrate hate towards Jews. Jewish people endure enough hatred and have no one to but themselves to stand up for them most of the time. His comments are factually wrong and spread misinformation. Jews aren’t the only people being vaccinated in Israel. - a Jew who has been the victim of antisemitism
Lol wrong. Stop watching comedy if that’s how you feel. Jokes arnt always meant to be nice and make you feel comfortable. Do you need a history lesson to understand why the joke was not only funny but accurate? Israel can take a fucking joke. Grow up please. -a Jew who’s been to Israel. They dont need your fake victimhood virtue signaling.
Israel population is a mix! 1 out of 4 is Muslim! There is no vaccination only for certain people there will be uprising. Check your "facts" SNL
Israel only caved in this week and agreed to vaccinate Palestinians. Before that they were not prepared to do it. Even Arab Israelis had to cross hurdles to get vaccinated. We (those who actively strived and pushed Israel for the past several weeks) made it possible and I must credit the role of Jewish and Israeli human rights organizations as well.
MICHAEL CHE SPREADS CONSPIRACY THEORIES !!!
No conspiracy theory. Pure fact! Israel only caved in this week and agreed to vaccinate Palestinians. Before that they were not prepared to do it. Even Arab Israelis had to cross hurdles to get vaccinated. We (those who actively strived and pushed Israel for the past several weeks) made it possible and I must credit the role of Jewish and Israeli human rights organizations as well.
The writing team earned thier lunch on this one. Great job, donuts & raises for everyone! Please don't let these staff quit and start writing terrible movies.
Bruh SNL just hearing the word simp??
Spotify: Jimmi Stone
I guess simp is a good deterrent to teach boys to be nice to girls. Good job world another step back
You can still be "nice" without being ridiculous and acting like any tiny bit of affection or attention is a crack rock from heaven. Memes catch on for good reason.
The joke about Israel was absolutely hilarious, but not as good as the one about catholic priests 😂
That Apartheid Israel joke is great. Don't think peopel really understoond it though.
@Johan Petterson Judaism is a religion not a race. Also, it is a fact that Israel's drive to vaccinate excluded Muslims and Palestinians until they got pressured into including everyone.
The comment was racist and dangerous.
BRRUHH

If anything comes from this dumpster fire of a pandemic, I would not be upset with a no-touching rule. Not just in Catholicism but everywhere at all times from now on.
Michael Che, you guessed wrong, dude! [1:37]
Israel is giving vaccines to Czech Republic and not to Palestinians. So all the grief Mr Che got for that stellar vaccine joke is crap. NYT on Feb 23.
@efy aloni They aren't tho. They prioritise Israeli citizens before Pestinians, and even Arab Israelies are having issues getting access to the vaccine. Israel has literally sold more vaccines abroad to other countries than they have been willing to use on Palestinians. Only recently did they change their mind a bit due to the backlash
you do know that israel is vaccinating everyone they can? including Palestinians ?
"The Bear Stein bears kill Osama bin laden" 😂😂
I love weekend update, it's the best part of the weekend.
Don't apologize for your joke Mike... Anyone who's offended is in denial.
Brought to you by the SNL Antisemitic sh#tholes
Criticism of Israel does not equate anti-Semitism. Israel only caved in this week and agreed to vaccinate Palestinians. Before that they were not prepared to do it.

What’s antisemitic about what Che said?
SNL has picked up their game recently.
35 year old Gma's... Love FL
No jokes about jews, its antisemitism . But anything and everything else is freedom of speech.
"Da, da, da-duh-da, da, da, da, da.....Controversy!"
That Che joke ab the vaccine in Israel was so money lol
#bds
#FREEPALESTINE
The only thing uglier than Michael Che on the outside is Michael Che on the inside.
As a child in the 70's SNL would air at 1am and it took everything for me to stay awake to watch it . Still doing its thing !!!! 💖🙏😁
Israel is almost 80 percent Jewish. They ARE vaccinating the Gazans (no one else is). And most of you are anti Israel/antisemitic f***ing pricks.

No. Most decent Americans are antiracist, antisegregation/apartheid.
Yes I am anti Israel.
I'm torn on this tbh
Are you people serious? The joke about Israel was just ignorant and straight up anti Semitic. Yes cuz Israel is made up of only Jews and Arabs. NO that’s wrong. Israel is made up of literally all religions. There’s no “Jewish half.”

No, it was spot on. Which is why everyone laughed. It's hilarious. 😂
@That’s So Fetch! And? What’s your point? The joke was still ignorant and anti Semitic
You’re right there’s no Jewish half. There’s a Jewish 74 percent majority.
SNL has been punching down recently. Can't say I'm impressed.
Where is down? Catholic Church? One of the biggest and richest organisations on planet earth? Nope. Israel? One of the worlds nuclear super powers? Nope. Cuomo? The governor of New York? Nope. Ted Cruz? A US Senator? Nope. Who exactly got punched down?
As a woman alone on Valentine's Day, I spit out my drink laughing at that joke!
That's 2021 for you. Kim divorced Kanye before Ivanka divorces Donald... We can just never guess what's gonna happen these days...
Michael Ches joke wasn’t anti Semitic, it’s fucking reality.

@Johan Petterson No, he's right.
No. All citizens get vaccinated.
i want that book doh
1:37 Anti-semitic much?
@Jonathan Rhodes They have been the pawns of the Arab states for sure but an independent palistine would be like gaza times 10. The best option would be to incorporate the rest bank back into Jordan. If the Kurds don't get a state neither should they.
@Darth Vyll We can agree to disagree. In my previous comment, I did not even mention other factors like the number of people maimed and disabled from Israel's attacks (Palestine has one of the highest number of disabled people per capita in the world) and the hundreds incarcerated in Israeli prisons.
@Jonathan Rhodes My point is that there is no genocide and I don't believe they are even a distinct ethnic group.
@Darth Vyll I think you are exaggerating greatly when you say it has risen 10 times since 1948. In 1948, the population of Palestinians was at least 1.5 million and today it is 5 million. Muslim populations generally rise really fast due to low birth control. Considering that, the rate of growth has not been nearly as much. In addition, 6 million Palestinians live today outside Palestine who are considered to have left due to war. In addition, at least 100,000 Palestinians have died since 1948 due to wars and attacks from Israel. Lastly, it is impossible to give an exact number on the numbers killed due to lack of food, medicines and other supplies. Israel enforces a blockage on Palestine and people die in hundreds every year as a result. So, yes, I consider that as a genocide.
@Jonathan Rhodes How is it genocide when the number of palestinians have increased at least 10 times from their number in 48?
Yeah I don’t really like the Jonas Brothers opinion on
Its a comedy show, and people still getting triggered gtfoh
Israle is offering drinks for vaccine,,,,,,,,,,,great incentive!
SNL sucks how this show even continues is beyond me..
Based
The Berenstain Bears universe really took a turn.
Don't apologize for your Isreal skit. It's the f**kin truth. Your skits are the best. Keep it real!!
Damn son.
We SHOULD take some pride in the barriers broken through and broken down by Lenny Bruce and Red Foxx, but we forget our own history. Political Satire is an underpinning, one amongst many, of free speech that gives democracies further vital dimensions to free speech! I've known people for decades who all to easily invoke "moral indignation" at the type of joke made by Michael Che - without EVER considering the fact that their own frequent and casual moral indignation is what wears thin and dilutes it's very significance.
but why does michael che have to spread antisemetic conspiracy theories? it’s extra sad bc the joke wasn’t even funny
Criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitism. Also, it was based on fact and not a conspiracy theory.
Then why did everyone laugh? It's funny because it's true.
Nah it was funny
It’s a joke
Ok ok its a bad joke. Why would Michael and SNL to apologize listen to the whole skit. All bad jokes and yet funny. #SNL . they poke at everyone . AS a Jewish American I am not offnded
Middleditch and Schwartz but with Colin and Michael?
2:18 Why is it conviniently after I start spreading funny edits of Berenstain Bear Books on Twitter, this happens Just saying, I deserve a paycheck for giving them the idea lol
Idk why the israel joke has been getting backlash, I thought it was hilarious like the rest of them 😂
Israel has an army of lobbyists and there are many Israelites whose patriotic duty is to defend their country's every action with their full power and influence (which they have plenty of incidentally). Of course, not every Israeli American is like that and many oppose Israel as well (which is how we found out about Israel's plans to prevent Palestinians from getting vaccines).
@Ben W Yes, because that's exactly how jokes work. /s
It's cuz it's false
Don't back down from your Israeli covid punch line joke Micheal. It's a joke! As a Mexican American/Navajo 50 yr old fart, I can take a joke. To many people out there are way softer than a roll of "Charmin"
I dont see why everyone is so upset about the vaccination joke if its true its true...be upset with the people withholding it not the messenger.
@Johan Petterson Arab Israelis had a hard time getting vaccinated. There was no plan to vaccinate Gaza, West Bank and Palestinians living around the new settlements. Israel has changed its course but only after activists like myself and others around the world and in Israel itself made it change its mind.
People who are citizens get vaccinated. Doesn't matter if they are Jewish or Muslim, all Israelis get vaccinated.
Yeah, it's not a coincidence that they waited until 50% Israeli vaccinations to begin with the Palestinians.
SNL is spitting facts 😌✋🏼 love to see it 🇵🇸
Nice joke on isreal bro😂 But it was more of a truth sadly
The fish and Bernstein Bears made me laugh a bunch because how relatable
The "sneakers out of the apartment" joke was funny
Even Collin said Berenstein. Not Berenstain. Just saying.
Here's your short leash and your Black - Jewish Entertainment Alliance membership card. We expect your apology by end of week. Didn't you learn anything from Nick Cannon?
