Jimmy Kimmel Live's Anti-Vax Barbie

Also: Hari Kondabolu, Lil Rel Howery, and Snoop Dogg

Happy National Hugging Day! I’m Geoff Plitt, and welcome to What You Need to Know, the brief, weekly newsletter where I share the best comedy videos I’ve seen all week. It will always be free, and you’re welcome to become a friend by following me on Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every day.

And now, your regularly scheduled comedy distractions:

1. I loved this recent sketch from Jimmy Kimmel Live about Anti-Vax Barbie. There’s so much stuff to sell to anti-vaxxers, and the folks at Mattel are no dummies. They made a mint over Christmas with twist on what is probably America’s all-time favorite doll":

2. Hari Kondabolu remembers creating a dangerous game with his younger brother and compares religious texts to the “Back to the Future” franchise:

3. Lil Rel Howery imagines a lingerie store for men and breaks down how some of his older relatives struggle to use technology properly:

4. Comedy Central has released a new compilation of Snoop Dogg’s best roast moments:

That’s all, folks! See you next week.
