'SNL' Used A 60 ft 'Rogue' Wave Off The Coast Of BC As An Opportunity To Troll Canada

Saturday Night Live trolled Canada for a once-in-a-millennium record-breaking rogue wave that was recorded off the coast of B.C.

As part of the Weekend Update on the show, Colin Jost made an undeniably funny joke at the expense of the historic wave.

Hosted by Jost and Michael Che, the hilarious sketch news program parodies and comments on current news events — and just took aim at Canada on Saturday.

The very last story of the program was about the rogue wave — also called a killer wave — in B.C. that made waves globally being the most extreme one ever (pun intended).

"Researchers have observed a nearly 60 ft tall rogue wave off the coast of British Columbia, which is the largest ever recorded," Jost said.

"Researchers believe the wave was generated when yo-mama fell overboard," he joked.

Even Jost couldn't resist a cringe face after he said it, eventually laughing at the classic burn. To be fair, Yo Mama jokes basically never get old.

The massive rogue wave was actually not in fact created by someones mama falling overboard — but was measured in Ucluelet, B.C. by MarineLabs.

The MarineLabs website said that the 17.6-metre rogue wave was "the most extreme rogue wave ever recorded," and is as tall as a four-story building.

The wave was recorded in November 2020, but recently was the subject of a scientific report. The report was done by researchers of the University of Victoria and was published in the journal Scientific Reports on February 2.

Rogue waves are at least double the height of the waves that are around them, and are also called "freak or killer waves," said the website.

Because they happen unexpectedly and are so large, they are actually super dangerous.

This rogue wave, in Ucluelet, was almost three times bigger than the waves around it. The website added that the probability of a wave like this happening "is once in 1,300 years."
