A Saturday Night Live UK segment sparked shocked reactions from viewers and listeners after a controversial joke about Mark Zuckerberg and his alleged California bunker.The comments aired during the show’s “Weekend Update” segment, where co-host Ania Magliano referenced reports that Zuckerberg is building a bunker beneath his California campus. “It turns out that meta billionaire Mark Zuckerberg is building a bunker beneath his compound in California,” he said. He then added, “And I hope he uses that bunker just like Hitler did.”This comment caused deep sighs in the live studio audience. The reference was to Adolf Hitler, who died by suicide in his bunker in 1945 when World War II ended.Clips of this segment quickly spread online, where viewers reacted strongly. Some criticized the joke as going too far and questioned whether such references should be used in comedy. One viewer wrote on social media, “How is that comedy?” While another said: “That line about the bunker… wow.”Others defended the section, arguing that satire often oversteps boundaries. Some viewers said the show was “one of the funniest things ever”, indicating a split in audience reaction.The sketch was part of a wider segment that also targeted several public figures, including US President Donald Trump, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and golfer Tiger Woods.The show itself is a UK adaptation of the long-running American format and is still in its early stages. Its first episode attracted approximately 226,000 viewers, with the second episode seeing a slight decline in viewership.Meta chief Zuckerberg has not yet publicly responded to the joke. Reports about development of his assets, including a large compound in California, have circulated in recent months, although details have been limited.
