comment
The Amber Ruffin Show is a weekly late-night comedy show hosted by Amber Ruffin and assisted by her friend Tarik Davis. She makes jokes as she covers the news of the week, with a focus on her unique perspective as a black woman. It is in a similar style to shows like Late Night with Seth Meyers, probably because Amber also works for that show as a writer and occasional on-screen talent.

Black Comedy: The news is often very depressing but that doesn't stop Amber from joking about it.

It's a Wonderful Plot

comment
It's a Wonderful Plot: Parodied in this sketch, where an angel shows Amber how things would be if Donald Trump had never been born. Everything seems so much better than in real life, with the COVID-19 pandemic not having happened, Zendaya being president and Amber having a studio audience, and Amber and the angel keep waiting for some twist showing how it would actually be worse... which never comes, so they just quit.

I Reject Your Reality: Amber's recurring segment, "That Just Doesn't Exist", is dedicated to minor news stories that Amber simply can't process, leading her to act like they aren't happening:

Genki Girl: Amber's onscreen persona is nearly always bubbly and enthusiastic. When she takes on a more serious tone, it's a sign to the audience that something very important has happened.

Berserk Button: The segment "Being Mad Like It's 199[X]* The specific year changes each time, but it's always in the 90's is dedicated to Amber's habit of channeling her anger about current matters into a trivial event from the past, such as the rap verse of "Waterfalls" being removed for the radio edit.

Soundtrack Lullaby: Amber occasionally closes out the show by singing a lullaby to the audience about a topical subject, such as the promise of getting the Covid vaccine or the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
