That Malala tweet is a brilliant touch

[@OJsGuardianAngel]

Could you eli5 ?

[@chrispreperato5562]

Malala won the Nobel peace prize at 17 for her activism work against the Taliban, which included an assassination attempt on her life when she was a teenager. She’s generally seen as one of the most positive female role models. Think of it like Mother Teresa laughing at the dude dying

[@DoraSniper]

It was racist

[@TerofiedBeats]

Unfortunately hilarious 🤣

[@op3129]

@@OJsGuardianAngel google her name (don't be lazy?)

[@hobbesthegoblin]

I like they used "skidoosh" as a verb, then later turned it back into a sound effect

[@drphot6050]

Skidaddle!

[@blitz1904]

Skadoosh 🐼

[@TrentsROOM]

I TRIED SO HARD NOT TO LAUGH💀

[@notgrubba]

“bro died like a Rube Goldberg machine” 😭

[@konradk1066]

I lost it at that one lol

[@henrytawnn8694]

That's basically every Final Destination movie. Turned the horror movies into a comedy series.

[@apexerman1]

Oh wow... still laughing at that one!

[@christopherweise438]

@@henrytawnn8694 - Great analogy.

[@amonrodriguez3518]

People who think these are funny are people that comment literal quotes from what they watched, and that’s it.

"No it stands for pagina" LMAO

[@mr.joshua6818]

Now I'm not sure if he was being sarcastic 😂

Wile E Coyote and Roadrunner 😂🎉

[@iamskyfall]

Dakota Johnson really did introduce them.

[@perthotheemptycup6754]

They’re so lucky, Reverend Buttcheek P. Rosenthal really is an icon

[@SuperJoshdave]

I would have liked for them to reference that instead of all this. Continuity matters

[@shaboodle]

Most anatomically correct Chef Boyardee we’ve seen yet

[@betsyduane3461]

He was a real guy.

[@bluedog521]

Are we ready to admit these guys are not funny

[@samfilmkid]

Right down to his pegina!

[@TheSaintFrenzy]

Beef Ravioli in a can makes everything better.

Well... no.@@bluedog521

Rest in peace reverend buttcheek pajina rosenthal 😔💔

I mean, this is probably gonna sound cartoonish, but... R.I.P.

[@Picklesnot-co3k]

Anna, what a kind thing to say. We all miss him. 😢

[@benvoliothefirst]

He took his mom's last name so he wouldn't be accused of Nepotism. I'm glad PDD could still be friends with him, despite not being in THE CLUB.

[@Sugarbear3000]

Haha Reverend

[@Sugarbear3000]

rip RBPR

I’m dying😂😂😂 “ow my nuts look at me I’m shredding the Grand Canyon!”😂😂😂

“I’m shredding the Grand Canyon” lives rent free in my head now

[@str8Ball1n]

The "God works in mysterious ways 🤣🤣🤣" comment by Pope Francis at 2:39 was perfect 😂.

[@brendonsmith3080]

“Bruhh donkey boy got Rocked🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀” Favorite Presidential tweet ever

[@jimbarino2]

Donkey boy was bad dude.

[@RobeLifeMusic]

RIP Chef Boyardee's son

[@Kevin_Kennelly]

Litttle boy Boyardee

[@alertgasper]

I feel bad for the old man--day this happened, he went to work and got canned, too.

[@MyBiPolarBearMax]

Gone too soon

[@iGame3D]

He shredded the Grand Canyon for our sins.

[@imightbebiased9311]

He'd still be with us, if he just followed in his dad's footsteps and made terrible canned pasta...

[@brendangrimace]

The timid smile she gave Chef Boyardee was classic. Totally nailed the “smile at a funeral-parlor” move

[@bluesky973]

“Donkey kicked him in the nuts so hard, he fell into the Grand Canyon” had me rolling! Great job PDD and Sydney!

[@NicolaiBolas]

This is gonna sound improbable, but for some reason Ben saying, "this is gonna sound cartoonish," and, "he was 4 foot 3," were the lines that cracked me up the most! Another gem from Please Don't Destroy!

[@justanotherthought]

and 1500 pounds

[@stevewegling8070]

You can tell the writers are familiar with synonyms😄

[@Xenon-h9z]

was it funny because you're super short yourself?

[@bpark3726]

The qualifiers of “this is going to sound cartoonish” or “comically improbable” were went sent me over the edge 😂

[@nerd_entangled]

What a random place to see you haha. I love your draft videos

[@xRainbowSprinkles10]

The cartoon sound effects got me

[@brendonsmith3080]

“He skadooshed off a fat guy’s stomach like Kung Fu Panda and exploded on site.” The fact that they’re telling it like this even though the death is supposed to be sad makes it ironically more hilarious

[@BizzeeB]

I refuse to believe this story without seeing the video.

[@robgronotte1]

You heard it, didn't you?? How rude, this was one of their best friends!

[@alyssajean2327]

Lol the background music and celebrity tweets killed me😂

[@codyhiginbotham6616]

Once again, Please Don’t Destroy being the best sketch of the night

[@d33j4ybf]

On the strength...

[@heidimark]

That says more about the quality of the rest of the sketches than it does about this one.

[@spiralentree737]

This was awful typically the destroy boys are peak but anyone could have replaced Sydney

[@StudioInkblot]

​@@spiralentree737Very few of their sketches are specific to the host

[@spiralentree737]

@@StudioInkblot cap, most sketches that include the host have personality traitz about them or their age or projects coming up this just seemed lazy.

[@neferamarna]

The line "brunch donkey boy got rocked " had me dying😂

[@thomasd3104]

Incidentally, Boyardee Jr. had a BMI of 405.

[@JayHartin]

I had my team at MIT crunch the numbers on that, and they concur with your result.

[@dangerdan79]

His last name was Rosenthal, best for now not to pick at why he forsook his father's name.

[@jascadet]

I laughed so hard at this one I had to pause it because I kept missing it from all the laughing. I had to watch it like 5 times. This might be one of my favorite SNL sketches of all time.

[@benwasserman411]

They should be the host one week!

[@TheChupacabra]

HEY LIVE FROM NEW YORK WE ARE PLEASE DONT DESTROY ENJOY THESE PRETAPES.

[@maddie-bq3ir]

yes!!!!!

[@amonrodriguez3518]

They are on the show!? Wtf kinda dumbass comment is that. If anything , the Lonely Island should be the host/musical guest.

[@ExposedRoot]

I can't believe I laughed so hard at that silly skit!!😂

[@rodrigogcoritiba]

the piano at 01:14 is just glorious. Simply amazing.

[@luismedina709]

I was focused more on the piano than the sketch! 😅 trying to figure out who the composer/musician is, style reminds me Olafur Arnalds, Jon batiste, Bon Iver…

[@Fungorrr]

i love all of these skits but for some reason this is the one that got me laugh crying uncontrollably

You were crying from that?... can you please go into any detail as to why you found that so funny? please

I have no clue what I just watched from SNL but I’m about to watch it again LOL!!

This was sooooo sad. But why am I craving a can of cold Ravioli?

this is the only sketch in the episode that made me REALLY giggle

[@noahdavis6501]

And people still say snl fell off This shit’s just too funny man😂

[@sgrant4558]

Based on the description, their dead friend was basically Cartman from South Park lol

[@The1AndOnlyGoldenboy]

Specifically Cartman after devouring Weight Gain 4000 to try and become a beefcake.

[@JustinLascoe]

*side note: My dad worked for Chef Boyardee. The Chef could remember my dad's name and was proud of himself for managing to remember a random employee's name. For months, he would have a smile every time he would do this. However, he called my dad the wrong name the first time and my dad didn't correct him. If your boss's boss's boss's boss likes you, you do not correct that dude.

[@k.b2457]

Ok so I have a crazy obsession with chef boyardee. I was in a manic state of unrest during college and looked up his whole life. This was right up my looney bin alley
