It’s a whole ceremony they get as soon as they decide to go in the industry. First you tell your famous parent, then they alert the PON. Within a week you’re flown out to Nepo Island, just north of Guyana, to be tested for a month. The Parliament of Nepotism sees if you have what it takes to really be famous… or at least coast enough not to ruin the family name. Once the test is done, if you passed, they cut off a small piece of your ear, forge it into the ring, and finalize it with a drop of the blood of the first nepo baby, Jesus, into the gem of the ring to bestow it with magic. The nepo baby is given the ring under two unbreakable conditions: never to betray the parliament, and always to honor the nepo truce.

“There really… not for me” best passive aggressive insult I’ve ever heard

[@TJamesBell]

Uhhhhhh, that's 'they're' not 'there'. (See what what I did there? Correct use of the word 'there'.)

[@ladyk439]

I cant get enough of these please don't destroy videos..and this one was the best😂

[@videditorEB1]

Dude, I laughed out loud to a bunch of that. Great sketch!

[@reddy272]

I'm so glad this was live, part of the joy is hearing the audience laughing and shrieking along.

[@oliviatoler633]

This was a great sketch. The guys were amazing as usual. Dakota was incredible! I have never seen her be so funny. This was perfect.

[@graphicgrunt]

These guys never let us down! The writing on SNL skits are so hit and miss but these guys kill it! Thank you

[@SoTiredoftheToxicBS]

Love Dakota! Her timing is awesome ❤

[@victorumoh4183]

The closing of the door😂😂

[@ColinFilm]

Absolute gold! 😂 Props to Dakota too for being on board for a sketch like this. 👏

[@Valeriamtzp]

Right? I'm pretty sure she is so self aware of what people mock her for and she just embraces it and laughs about it

[@TheDevildogs75]

Hands down, best "Please Don't Destroy" skit ever!

[@laalaa99stl]

They all looked like they were having a blast ripping each other. But shit got real at the 42% RT rating.

[@SkitzBricks]

Meh, who cares about the critic rating. Audience score is 92%...to me that's more important for a movie like Foggy Mountain.

[@Junksaint]

That movie was fun as hell

[@adda312]

I've seen it twice and will probably watch it a few more, it's hilarious

[@knuc9018]

Ripping on each other's movies while conveniently avoiding what a steaming pile Madame Web is going to be.

[@twigwigsoso]

i get why critics hated it but honestly it was nice to watch a short comedy movie without much bigger to say then like friendship is important- deep and dark comedy is great but sometimes an eagle doing a sassy walk just tickles your ribs

[@moomoo-bv3ig]

@2:22 😭😂 I can't stop laughing

[@coldbattery]

dakota johnson is so sweet, the comedy timing is on point too. Also I laugh so hard watching madam web

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

I was always wondering when PDD would be compared with The Lonely Island. But I NEVER expected them to be compared in THAT way! ("The Lonelier Island")🤣🤣🤣

[@lydiatingey3773]

1:38 absolutely destroyed the fact that he’s actually an nepotism baby a little bit lol

[@ashleyhuppler2449]

All of them are except Ben, that’s why he gets pushed out of the circle.

[@placeholderdoe]

They are really funny even with it though

[@AsherGrace7]

It's the closing of the door for me. 😅

[@renfam8183]

Finally! The funniest sketch I've seen on SNL in years. Is it Possible to replicate this level of writing

[@tangho]

seriously the top 1 best thing that has ever come out of SNL

[@ehudsdagger5619]

Every single PDD is gold. But this might be the single best one!

[@ShinRyojin]

I had to pause this sketch several times from laughter fits. Just back and forth savagery!

[@Dixie.1818]

Right,,finally a good skit from snl

[@DanielleA2023]

Dakota and Please Don't Destroy are a perfect match ❤❤❤❤

[@blipmachine]

It's good to see PDD move up to be the 3rd upload of the night instead of a random afterthought 3 hours or a day later.

[@LindaC616]

Looks like it wasn't "cut for time"

[@tangiechapman6219]

OMG they’re moving up in the world I’m impressed

[@dannytallmage2971]

Dakota’s agent probably got on the phone and said make sure you lead with the only funny one

[@michaelschneider-]

+1 .. Hilarious! ... Every time this comes around, its a laugh. .. "The apple doesn't fall from the tree" .. Cheers, Vail, Colorado

[@GoTron88]

That staredown Dakota does after Ben comments on her dry humour lol
