[@OvSpP]

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.

JUST SO BRUTAL

[@Tconlon251_2]

I always thought that if Andy Samberg hosts, they need to have some kind of PDD/SNL Digital Short mash up

[@ehudsdagger5619]

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

[@SoTiredoftheToxicBS]

Love Dakota! Her timing is awesome ❤

[@reddy272]

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

[@AsherGrace7]

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

[@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

[@elbradto12]

2:20 Oh what was that? Sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the sound of Madame Web’s 14% on Rotten Tomatoes.

[@CraigMcfly1985]

0:28 that's her dad's legendary look😂😂😂😂😂 she got it!!!! Nice work Dakota, The Lonelier Island 😂😂

[@carlosrvra]

"The Lonelier Island" burn... great! Dude's head-turn reaction to it... even greater! Also like the minor detail of Dakota using two cups, with the second cup as a heat sleave. Very real thing! 😄

[@graphicgrunt]

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

[@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")🤣🤣🤣

[@andrewsommer717]

IT ONLY GETS BETTER!! Credit to them for being able to turn the whole situation funny. Took some big swings here!

[@Marsha.Sprinkle]

This is one of the best written sketches in recent memory, hands down. Masterpiece! More SNL skits by whoever wrote this.

[@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.

[@ShinRyojin]

The Nepo Truce oath was genius.

[@DanielleA2023]

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

[@HiAliLove]

10/10 sketch. These guys never fail to make me laugh!

[@michaelgomez3343]

They will light a candle every year on the day this sketch aired due to how hard they KILLED it. "Nepo truce? . . . Not you Ben."

[@landonfolken03]

OMG this skit was absolute gold. Those were some glorious burns all around.

[@MarkMoreno-fl3mx]

“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'.)

[@ryan23791]

2:31 makes this whole sketch

[@kingwinner]

When the host is down for anything, you get magic. Dakota Johnson was amazing.

[@thedudeabides3138]

Hats off to everybody involved in this sketch, it was dry as sand and not a single punch pulled.
