SNL sketches are often hit or miss, but every single Please Don't Destroy sketch has been absolute gold.

[@benvoliothefirst]

Turns out, it IS actually possible to give a compliment without sniping backhanded insults like a bitch! FYI!

No.

The thing I love about Please Don't Destroy is that you never know what's gonna happen. It's the perfect type of absurdist humor

[@samfilmkid]

Comedy’s gotten so predictable in the last few years. I think a key ingredient in comedy is surprise and these guys have that in spades here.

[@RayRae559]

They're like the dollar store version of Lonely Island.

[@wxcferdts]

I adore the way how almost all of their films veer off very quickly from innocence, happiness, normality, quiet and innocence to immensely dark and often frighteningly familiar territory, where the essence of human ugliness comes recognisably to the fore. And the acting, as well as the writing, as usual, is spot on!

[@CRFSUIGENERIS]
