“SNL U.K.’s” Weekend Update returned in the show’s second week with one-liners about U.S. and Iran’s mixed messages about a deal to end the war, the death of the owner of OnlyFans and more.
Paddy Young kicked off the show with a zinger about Trump and Iran communicating very different things about a potential deal to end the current conflict.
“While Trump has been insisting that Iran wants a deal so badly, an Iranian military spokesperson has said, quote, ‘Our first and last word from the very first day has been, is and will remain: Someone like us will never come to terms with someone like you. Not now and not ever,’” Young said, adding: “Oh my God, just kiss already!”
Later on in the segment, the death of OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky came up. “So gentlemen, when you’re visiting the site this week, lower your penises to half mast,” Young joked. “Beautiful funeral, by the way. Wasn’t a dry tissue in the house.”
Young and co-anchor Ania Magliano then debuted a new bit titled “hand-in-hand,” where they delivered some good news amidst all the bad. “And now, it seems like the whole world is at war. Russia and Ukraine, the Middle East, Chappell Roan and that tiny girl,” Magliano said. “War. We could just making jokes about it. But first, we just want to check: Are you OK?”
“This is hand-in-hand with Anya and Pad,” Young said. “We’re here to tell you that it’s going to be OK,” Magliano added, as Young finished her sentence: “Because we’ve got each other.”
“World War III. Sounds scary, huh? But we’ve already had two,” Magliano continued. “And don’t they say good things come in threes?”
Carrying on the topic, Magliano pointed out that “if London gets bombed, house prices will drop.”
“And so will house numbers,” she added. “We’ll all get to live across the two houses that are left. Like in ‘Friends’!”
