"according to Ohio law, if that speech is bad, Molly will be sent straight to jail" - Steve Kornacki, 2022

[@jopinscott1777]

If only that were true nationwide.😂

[@slmay1949]

In reality, Molly would have a long career in Duhio politics.

[@larserus8286]

I love how in these sketches it’s always the worst case scenario.

All of them: “STEVE KORNACKIII!,???!?….”

I feel like the Please Don't Destroy is such a breath of fresh air of SNL. The cast that grew up with Laser Cats and Digital Shorts is finally sweeping into SNL.

'I don't want to be eternal general' is an awesome underrated line from Molly 🤣🤣

[@gregorytaylor7969]

They kind of just used it as a throwaway, but it's so good. Sounded like Jerry Seinfeld saying "I don't wanna be a pirate!" The absurdity of the line by itself is so amazing, most people would never have the opportunity to be a pirate or attorney/eternal general, but it's being forced on them by fate.

[@batgurrl]

I usually love this skit but the Real Steve Kornacki showing up was everything. Best pease don’t destroy ever

They? The guys? I'm confused.

[@waltonsimons12]

@@anngunzenhaeuser7193 "They" can be used as a singular pronoun as well as a plural pronoun. Been that way since at least 1848, and probably earlier. (1848 was the year William Makepeace Thackeray's novel "Vanity Fair" was published. It contains a sentence that reads, "A person can't help their birth," which shows that singular they was in use in 1848.)

[@redboy-pk4ji]

[@richy1988]

Yeah I don't know if they were trying to subvert the Rule of Threes with that one but it seemed prime for a good ol' fashioned punchline. Other than that slightly fumbled opportunity this was solid, surreal political humour is the best kind of satire.

Molly is leaving SNL :( I can only assume they're stepping away to focus on their political career but it's still a big loss :( :(

[@mattlohr]

A possible breakout moment for Molly Kearney, and they crushed it. Very funny stuff.

[@canaisyoung3601]

It's this one and the pretaped sketch from the Brandon Gleeson episode where Michael Longfellow, Devon Walker, and Marcello Hernandez talk about how being on SNL is so great, but Molly tells about how Lorne Michaels told them to assassinate Vladimir Putin, which turned out to be an elaborate prank (the line about how the military officers referred to them as "she" and how being in danger is not the best time to correct someone about your pronouns was funny).

[@smokingfast]

Yes they of course referring to the multiple people in this sketch crushed it. According to the English language

[@hayes99]

@@smokingfastyikes, you really have a problem with pronouns. I can’t imagine being so bothered by something I’d sit online, scrolling through comments again and again trying to find something to shit on. That’s fucking sad dude, I hope you can come to term with who you are, you’re clearly struggling with gender or something and find comfort in taking it out on the ones living the free, out, life wish you could have.

[@JoveJoved]

I'll assume you're actually referring to all the performers in this sketch, as a non-moronic person would say "she crushed it" if referring to Molly specifically. "They" for a singular person is only appropriate when it's unknown if the person in question is male or female. Example: "Someone is coming in for an interview today and they'll be here at 1:00 PM."
