Despite all the <a data-ylk=\"slk:jokes about the ferry;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/pete-davidson-snl-new-scheme-ferry-boat-colin-jost\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">jokes about the ferry<\/a>, the comedians do have plans for the boat, and they&#8217;re about to hold an event on it. However, putting the jokes back into the equation, it&#8217;s not shocking to me at all that Davidson gave a funny statement about the upcoming ferry gig.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To quote Saturday Night Live&#8217;s Stefon, &#8220;New York&#8217;s hottest club&#8221; could be the comedy club Snapple is creating on Davidson and Jost&#8217;s Staten Island Ferry. On September 17, the juice company is going to transform the comedians&#8217; &#8220;famously random John F. Kennedy Staten Island Ferry purchase into the Sapple Island Ferry,&#8221; which will be a free comedy club. In reaction to all this, the King of Staten Island star said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Turning the ferry into a floating comedy club with Snapple makes more sense than anything else we considered, and it still doesn&#8217;t make much sense. Either way, we&#8217;re giving people a chance to take a break, have a laugh, and do something completely ridiculous with us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He makes such a good point. Turning this ferry into a free comedy club feels like the event that makes the most sense for Davidson and Jost. However, the fact that it will be held on a ferry and in collaboration with a juice and tea brand is hilariously random and unexpected. So, yes, it &#8220;still doesn&#8217;t make much sense,&#8221; but that&#8217;s part of the reason why it&#8217;s so great.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This event, which will be hosted by Davidson and Jost, will feature sets from &#8220;comedy&#8217;s fastest rising stars,&#8221; and the ferry will become New York City&#8217;s &#8220;most unexpected place to laugh, sip and take a break.&#8221; It&#8217;s free, tickets will drop daily at 3 p.m. ET between September 3 and 8, and then on September 17, doors will open at 7 p.m. ET at Pier 17.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Overall, this sounds like a great idea for a ferry, and the fact that it&#8217;s both random and fitting feels perfectly on brand for the comedians&#8217; hilariously random business venture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, this isn&#8217;t the first random collaboration Jost and Davidson have done with their <a data-ylk=\"slk:ferry that they keep getting asked;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/whats-going-on-now-with-the-280k-ferry-pete-davidson-bought-colin-jost\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">ferry that they keep getting asked<\/a> about. For example, last year, <a data-ylk=\"slk:Nike got involved;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/pete-davidson-and-colin-jost-ferry-dreams-back-nike-involved\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Nike got involved<\/a> with the boat to create an ad for the New York City Marathon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So, yes, this ferry is becoming more than a punchline. However, there&#8217;s no denying that it still makes for a great joke, as Snapple&#8217;s event proves. The last few years prove that too, as <a data-ylk=\"slk:Scarlett Johansson&#039;s reaction to the ferry;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/movies\/one-word-response-scarlett-johansson-had-found-out-colin-jost-pete-davidson-bought-ferry\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Scarlett Johansson&#8217;s reaction to the ferry<\/a> was funny, Jost&#8217;s <a data-ylk=\"slk:Shark Tank;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/see-colin-jost-pitch-staten-island-ferry-like-on-shark-tank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Shark Tank<\/a><a data-ylk=\"slk:-esque pitch about his boat;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/see-colin-jost-pitch-staten-island-ferry-like-on-shark-tank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">-esque pitch about his boat<\/a> was hilarious, and just about anytime this floating vessel gets brought up in an interview, the guys have something entertaining to say about it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With that said, when this comedy event from Snapple happens later this month, I&#8217;ll be curious to see how many Staten Island Ferry jokes are made during the event. I mean, it&#8217;s a stand-up comedy event on a ferry owned by two comedians\u2026the jokes basically write themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
