SNL's Weekend Update rounded up quite the mixed-bag of news this week, including a proposed TikTok ban, Chipotle burrito sales, and cheese-induced nightmares.

Co-hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost went all in on the internet's trending topics, including the state of AI chatbots. They simultaneously roasted the de-facto TikTok lobby and last year's abortion ban in Texas, nailed musician Kanye West for thinking of himself as both "Jesus and Hitler", and even questioned the world's oldest living dog.

The two traded joke after joke for the rest of the sketch, and, as always, made sure to remind viewers that the jokes and reality have become pretty blurred.
