Reporter: "You're now saying that we're living in a Spider-Man style multiverse??" Joe: "Doesn't that make *more* sense than whatever the hell our current world is?" 😂One of the best cold opening lines in a good while!
Lol
Doesnt work for me. I have never seen Biden sound anywhere near that lucid and intelligent. he is even using real English words.
Agreed!
Best opening ever!!!
Jim Carrey was better.
“Did you just blame the entire spread of Omicron on people seeing Spider-Man?”
“I did yes. Next question.” 😂😂
@May Flower Spider-Man globally made $1,775,951,607 making it the 6th top grossing film record in the box office. Avatar being number one at $2.8B, 2nd place is Avengers End Game at $2.7B, and third place is Titanic at $2.2B.
@May Flower Scream made $68,570,000 Spider-Man No Way Home made $721,000,000 and that's only domestic. That means Scream would need $652,430,000 to catch up. Sorry to be that guy but Scream did well, but not good enough to beat the non woke film that broke all the records. Best to do your research on numbers before posting false info. Hope that helps.
@☁POPULATION-_-420🌿 awww where did the uninformed soyboy troll go?
Still have no regrets!
@oWhueee ?! Not bad enough to report, but worthy of muting.
As someone who got COVID three days after seeing Spider-Man, I feel attacked 😂😂😂😂
So did you feel sick?
@Holly Shope you're feeling better!
Me too
@S W I felt attacked when I worked for a couple weeks for El Presidente Tweety Bird, and I actually paid more in Federal taxes on 1 paycheck than he did in 10 years.
Funniest part of this skit is that the president stays to take questions.
@DeeWeber Joe doesn’t take questions that’s the joke
And actually sounds relatively lucid. I have never seen Bden sound anywhere near that good.
@Dawn Baker she will quickly destroy anything that’s left from Biden’s disastrous term😡
@DeeWeber Stop watching CNN
"People got vaccinated... and the pandemic got WORSE!" was genuinely the only line that made me 😆
Reminds me of some of those early Twilight Zone episodes my Dad would let me stay up late and watch when I was 7 years old, and then my Mom would be mad at him because I would have nightmares for a Week, Hahahahahahahaha 😀🌶️⚡!!!
Truth in entertainment
So Biden turned into the real life J Jonah Jameson. “Spider-Man is a menace! Everywhere he goes omicron spreads!”
“Did you really think you would lose 4 times and then finally win when you were 78” lmaooo💖💖💖
The funniest part of this skit is that this comedian has more clarity and focus than real life Biden. Funny and Scary!
"It's got 98% on au gratin potatoes" is a great line
Ohh and like Heirloom fingerling Potatoes, I recommend those 😋.
In all Seriousness Au Gratin Potatoes are Delicious 😋. Most people do pretty simple versions of It but if you use different ingredients like fresh herbs different types of onions and roasted garlic and expensive cheeses it Really goes up to a Different Level...
I hope I can remember that when Rotten Tomatoes comes up in conversation.
Honestly, Joe was right though. Everyone has seen Spiderman 8 times. It's just that good
My bad I meant that last comment for Keith.
She probably just sold them and told you that she has O.C.D. and threw them away, and probably sold them for thousands of dollars less than they were Worth. I could be wrong but reminds me of a similar experience that I had...
I didn't see it once, there is a new Spiderman Movie?! Just like Batman and Superman after the 1970's, Oh and don't get Me Started on Star Wars it's just a bunch of Bovine Excrement!!! Especially Star Wars it's like they are trying to beat several horses to Death...
@CSharp you should see it. It’s good
@Matt J wrong. Just because it's a superhero movie, doesn't mean it's made for kids. Everyone can enjoy a good supehero movie, such as Spider-Man No Way Home. What you're saying is bs
What a missed opportunity - they could have brought in a number of actors who have played Biden in the past- invoking the Multiverse, just as was done in the most recent Spider Man …
Spoilers
@John Mandato Sudeikis and Carrey would have been awesome.
Oh, man. Except they did that already. But since when has that stopped SNL?
@John Mandato not sure if you guys are being sarcastic, but they did this exact same thing like a month ago
I've seen this like 10 times already. Instant classic.
Yes I’m sure this will go down in Snl history as one of the greats...
Funniest thing I heard/saw in 2 weeks now.
*this was such a good cold open - loved it!* 😂👏🏽
I love this cold open
i know right.. who is the actor ?
sounds like Nicholas Cage
I wish our president was this coherent and could actually form sentences.
- Joe is funniest
- It's just that good.
@Matt J he's high..just look at his username.
Reporter: Why does world hunger exist
Joe Biden: Spider-man stole everyone’s food
As a Cubs fan, he has a point. The world has gone to shit after the Cubs won, and probably was just too good ever really be true.
The person who wrote this sketch is a genius for what he is saying is that there are no common sense in this world anymore
Really? I thought trump had gone and the "adults were now in the room".
Reminds me of that Band Talking Heads, album Stop Making Sense, They were Way ahead of Their Time...
Is no common sense.
A bunch of my friends got covid, and they also watched spider man. I havent gotten it once this pandemic, and I havent watched spiderman. I think Biden has a point
I went to watch Spider Man 3 in the movies and the whole theater was packed. There were only four seats available - all the way in the front row. That was exactly how I watched the movie, and I had to turn my whole head when one character was thrown to the other side of the screen. An unpleasant experience on the whole, though I really enjoyed the movie. This man is preaching the truth. DON'T SEE SPIDER MAN.
I haven't seen Spiderman, and I've never had COVID... coincidence?🤔
lucky you are
Me too!!
I saw it 3 times with no vaccine due to health problems I was born with, also never got covid. My friend Tomas got his 3rd booster shot and saw Spider Man once and got covid. Coincidence?🤔
Make funny shorts and have to make u laugh or my mom will send me back to Africa 👀!
TBH, I haven’t seen Spider-Man yet for the same reason. I couldn’t stop laughing at this Cold Opening!
Wow! SNL must have got the clue and got better. Instead of staying one sided like they were. This is good.
This is SO GOOD, thank you whoever wrote this and everyone else
Oh shoot it's sarah....SEE ME IN A RED DRESS NO DIFFERENT FROM THE REST!
this was such a good cold open - loved it!
Honestly I watched spider man last week and I tested positive this morning. No joke that hit me different
Make better choices
@YT Sux what streaming site did you use?
Aids because testing positive for covid unless you're dying is like saying Ice caught a cold.
Hahahaahah
Hit?
JAJ is such a talented dude, plays Trump and Biden so well, his delivery is spot on all the time
@TheHopetown fjb
@☁POPULATION-_-420🌿 the headstones make it easier to identify Biden voters, FJBFU2
@☁POPULATION-_-420🌿 what blows my mind is how that man still loves in people's heads even after being out of office for a year. So glad I left both party lines years ago.
can't fix stupid but the red hats make it easier to identify
When you can pay one cast member for all political impressions…you’re winning
“There a universe where I’m the best president my approval rating is sky high and I’m actually supported by my own party 😂 that got me because it’s so damn true.
We need more Biden on SNL. This was too good! 🤣
As a person who works at a movie theater... he has a point😂😂😂
@John Mitchell then u haven't been watching SNL. They've bashed every POTUS since Nixon. Carter, Reagan, Bush, Bush 2.0, Clinton etc
@Alberto Guerra I have 2 jobs but have fun trolling lol
Stop lying
You dont work
@Andi Truth Never had it! :)
"Wildfires that started as gender reveal parties" made me laugh and sigh at the same time...
I thought gender-reveal was when a kid comes out as trans-gender. I thought damn, enough get killed already, and now you've started a wildfire!
Yes, this makes more sense than what we're living through now. Good job.
"Yes, the Nerd". That had me cracking up.
I thought this was spot on until they started letting him answer questions
As a Cubs fan, he has a point.
The world has gone to shit after the Cubs won, and probably was just too good ever really be true.
@joel dycus FJB!
@Mohil Patel while the Bible may not be real with the millenia of people changing it, the word of God is so VERY real 😉
Wish my indians won😔😭
As a St. Louis Cardinal fan, we knew the world was doomed if the cubs ever won the world series.
I normally start the cold open and then skip within the minute. This one was so good though that it had me checking if it really was the cold open.
I loved the MacGruber skit with the Faucci toilet paper roll... Cracked me up!! 😂😂😂 Aint that some poopy Mr. Faucci?? 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣 This was funny but Biden can't talk that much without messing up a word or a sentence.
This made my day i needed a good laugh.
Third time watching/listening and I'm still grinning as I write this.
Love it. Now we just need a covid one that has the song... don't stand so close to me as people enter a store or politicians talk.
“…i saw the first half hour of the House of Gucci… that was more than enough movie for anyone…” lol 😆
"I'll come back for you" Is what he said to all those people in Afghanistan too
Most unbelievable thing in this skit is Joe answering questions lol
Hey TheXvid. You know damn well that Brandon never answers that many questions and this actor is talking much too clearly
Omg I went to see spider man with my daughter and we sat in the front row 😂 my daughter was pissed she wanted to see Encanto so we left like 45 min in. This feels so real lmao
You forgot the “sun downing”
"This winter is so dark Republicans don't think you should vote." This joke should give hope to all aspiring comedy writers. Yes, somebody got paid for that one.
Best SNL skit I’ve seen in a long time!
I cant believe James carried a cold open solo! He has a lot of talent!
@Hello Again Hello Chill out lol. First of all, I don't have an interest to debate with you so you don't have to start typing multiple comments or paragraphs I literally just asked you why you are on this channel? Second, if you tune in to snl to see how liberals ruin things or whatever then you have a sad and angry life.
I came to find this comment because I was thinking the exact same thing
I KNEW it wouldn’t take long for someone to start blaming Spider-Man. 😂 I just assumed it would be an actual politician or news organization and that they’d be serious. Lol.
That was fun.. good job SNL
Completely unrealistic....not the Spiderman causes COVID, but the fact that Joe's never fielded that many questions from the media.😂
@Rick Hunter You're lucky we got this much and it's only to show how "un-biased" SNL is...just like the MSM & Big Tech.
Oh he has, as long as they're pre-selected reporters and questions so his answers are written down>>>and he still get's them wrong.
@SpaceAce LesPaul So true!
@SpaceAce LesPaul sad thing is, Burden can’t even read off the teleprompter. He’s that bad. If there is no teleprompter, he can’t even have a meaningful conversation. It’s pathetic.
Inaccurate: Joe doesn't take questions.
I feel like he could do a killer Nicolas Cage impression.
@Terrance Miller he can't even do Biden
I feel like He can do anybody
Lol he totally could.
That's high praise
When you can pay one cast member for all political impressions…you’re winning
"T-Birds, Tacos, and Trains" I would totally watch that. LOL 😂
6:48 James' voice goes through the pitch shifter!
when I watched this I was like maybe he is right .. lol. I did see Spider-Man movie that Monday night before Christmas and tested Positive on 12/28 Covid is so contagious. Spider-Man 😆
Tobey, Andrew, & Tom showing up at the end would have cemented this cold open in eternity.
"THE TRUTH, HAPPINESS, AND LOVE HAD TO BE AVAILABLE FOR EVERY HUMAN AT EVERY POINT IN TIME AND THE BIBLE WASNT SO THE BIBLE IS FAKE" -MOHIL KRISHNA PATEL
MAGA
Mama for life
3:47 - 3:57 I don't know if that line aged well or not
Best comedy skit SNL has done in a really long time! hope to see a lot more.
This guy makes more sense then the real Joe
Great sketch! Also why am I so confident that spider man was Bowen yang?
This is the type of political cold opens I enjoy. The ones where they extend on real events with a crazy, funny theme instead of just acting out the real events with mediocre jokes. I also really liked the cold open where Alan Dershowitz visited hell.
@Truth Decentralization yawn-o-rama
@Lisa Scott so true puppet at best
80 million people voted for Biden! Most ever! More than Obama!! 😂😂😂 Feel duped?!
This wasn’t one of those at all. This was the real events with mediocre jokes one
finally,.one comedy stint i approve of and even smiled at.
This gets funnier and funnier on re-viewing 😂😂😂😂
I missed spiderman in the end when I watched it live. But he did come out of nowhere.
“I understand the show euphoria” HAHAHA
They found a young man who has managed in his first season to carry on 2-3 cold opens. He is a legend.
@David Hayes Plato PlayStation
@Samuel Hughes No, it's Hercules Genesis, right?
@Jhon Shephard you mean Socrates GameCube?
@Brian Sounalath he's 32
Andrew Desmukes or Aristotle Athari?
His impression is amazing
Damn, I'm so old I can remember when SNL was actually funny!
5:57 Lmao perfect delivery
Need more skits like this lol
"Did you really think you would lose 4 times and then finally win when you were 78" lmaooo
@John Chessant no its whatever helps you sleep at night being an accomplice to a tyrannical govt takeover.
@TayC Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night bud
Make funny shorts and have to make u laugh or my mom will send me back to Africa 👀!
Biden still thinks Brandon won in this timeline....let's go Brandon! FJB!
Lol cuz he didn't win
"You want to know if you have covid? Look at your hand, is it holding a ticket that says you recently saw Spiderman? If so, you have Covid"
This guy has 5000x more energy than Joe. And he smiled. He's WAY more animated too. Bring down the energy, bring down the awareness, and make him much more angry.
@William M Physical impairments don’t equal mental ones.
If only the real president could talk as coherently this long, maybe then something could actually get done
Joe Biden: Stop seeing Spider-man!
OK
Doc Ock: Hello Peter.
Must see Spider-man...
The irony here is last weekend I did see Spider-Man and now I’m having Covid symptoms. Joe is on to something!
@Meo Meo how are you the problem for “sitting on the fence”?
I saw Spider-Man, got sneezed on by some neanderthal. But I take cold showers so I’m good.
"THE TRUTH, HAPPINESS, AND LOVE HAD TO BE AVAILABLE FOR EVERY HUMAN AT EVERY POINT IN TIME AND THE BIBLE WASNT SO THE BIBLE IS FAKE" -MOHIL KRISHNA PATEL
@reality don't feel foolish at all. My in-laws in hospital with COVID. Wife and I vaccinated and not suffering affects.
"you want to know if you got covid, look at your hand. You holding a ticket for spider man Miss sullivan." Hilarious.😄😆
They had recently done a skit with 3 versions of Biden from different times in his life, this would have been the perfect time to bring them back... + the new one from the real universe
This is what Joe Biden would look like if someone mushed his face in adobe photoshop.
That joke about Joe dropping out of the previous races before was gold. Ouch. Pete Davidson burning himself also good. lmao
“Just look at the ticket in your hand. If it’s Spider-Man, you have Covid” 😂😂😂😂
I thought he was gonna say, "If your hand is bigger than your face..."
Just when I stopped laughing at "Stop seeing _Spider-Man_" that line was great.
PS: I double-masked it and didn't eat or drink in the 60-person theater.
My buddy just got his 3rd booster, went and saw this and got covid....I was like man, I thought the vaccine was supposed to help prevent that bro. He was also wearing a mask and dodnt sit near anyone let alone get any snacks out of concern for spreading covid via food.

Honestly, Joe was right though. Everyone has seen Spiderman 8 times. It's just that good
Maybe there will be a Spiderman variant.
Damn they actually make him seem alot smarter and more sharp than the real press briefings
This is by far the funniest joe biden sketch
I'm loving the Spidey appearance at the very end like that XMen gag reel
He’s too well spoken to make this believable.
We love James Austin Johnson.
In real life he would've just turned his back and run at the first questions.
@Joshpower57 do you not care about keeping up with all politicians?
@Sam Sepiol yea the left has been so funny lately and not cringe at all. Can't wait for another vaccine song
@Brent Chaffin Trump be living rent free in your head I see
No joke. When I heard Spidey crossed the billion dollar mark, I was like who is crazy enough to go into a semi full/full theater in this ravaging pandemic??? Well, probably the same people packing into planes in the name of traveling to family gatherings for the holidays.
And we bitch wondering where the fudge is this surge coming from.
The fact that I didn’t go anywhere over the holidays EXCEPT to see Spider-Man…then tested positive two days later. I mean, I..😒😂
You should have gotten the 10th booster. That's what helped me. I just got my 11th
@DVo I guess I win. Again.
Later dvo, you silly human.
@DVo see, the problem with all those words and exclamation points, and emojis you just used was that you didn’t say anything.
I did state an argument, which you just avoided because you know I’m right.
I didn’t JUST insult you.
I beat you.
Also, using the word “triggered” as a retort really shows that you have no argument.
Anyway, I stand by everything I said.
@Liam other people's viewpoints doesn't have to be yours but don't call them idiots for liking something.
Wow, SNL finally made a decent sketch!
This is too coherent to be a Biden impression.
"Is the Covid in the bathroom?!" Yes, yes it is
Joe Biden is back with an important message. Biden is the president now. James' impression is hilarious and funny. 😆😅🤣🤣
I cant believe James carried a cold open solo! He has a lot of talent!
This was too nice.... Biden gives plenty of material!!!
He's a very talented actor. Plays both Tweety Bird and Papa Biden. I still miss Alec Baldwin and Jim Carrey tho, they were hilarious in the debates.
I saw Spider-Man 3 times and didn’t get COVID😂
I just left my house after a month of isolating (bc I was scared of Covid) to go see Spider-Man in the movie theatre. First time I was in a theatre in 3 years. Great film
I saw 5 movies in three visits to the drive-through an hour away.
