Added DiffLines:

* BerserkButton: The segment "Being Mad Like It's 199[X][[labelnote:*]]The specific year changes each time, but it's always in the 90's[[/labelnote]] 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 "[[Music/{{TLC}} Waterfalls]]" being removed for the radio edit.


Added DiffLines:

* CatchPhrase: Amber's opening monologue always starts with "You guys, it's been a crazy week in America. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Let's! Find out! What happened!]]"
* GenkiGirl: Amber's onscreen persona is nearly always bubbly and enthusiastic. When she [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness takes on a more serious tone, it's a sign to the audience that something]] ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness very]]'' [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness important has happened]].


Added DiffLines:

* IRejectYourReality: 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:
-->'''Amber:''' ''(sung)'' Some news gives me the blues,\\
Some news makes me feel pissed,\\
And some news is just so bad, baby, I pretend it doesn't exist!


Added DiffLines:

* SoundtrackLullaby: 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 ''Film/BlackPantherWakandaForever''.

''The Amber Ruffin Show'' is a weekly late-night comedy show hosted by Creator/AmberRuffin 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 Series/LateNight with Creator/SethMeyers, probably because Amber also works for that show as a writer and occasional on-screen talent.
