Best sketch of 2015.

[@haley9442]

Pffft

[@jackgialamas3587]

“IT’S NOT 2015!” 😂🤣

[@A_Gib49]

😂😂

[@TheDigitalDecade]

I’m guessing they wrote this in 2015 and kept it in for hilarity’s sake.

[@SusieG]

[@laalaa99stl]

I like the idea that the only requirement to replace Ben is to be a ginger.

[@St3phenking13]

Real talk we need to have the overdue discussion about the Anti-gender movement in Hollywood. Shit is silly.

[@Numbabu]

@@St3phenking13 I have absolutely no idea what that means.

[@Maenadsattack]

I like the idea that the only requirement for getting your sketch group on SNL is your dad being a producer.

[@HubertofLiege]

Because they all look alike?

[@DannyFedora]

loving how just the Please Don't Destroy intro popping up now instantly brings out cheers

[@Bat_Boy]

Nah, they are unfunny.

​@Bat_Boy They're not funny to you, it's just an opinion.

I love that they never mention all the out of place stuff in these sketches, like why they’re eating dinner at what has to be 2 in the morning

[@XxstardropzdreammxX]

Omg I just realized that 😂

[@icantollie]

bc they went to NYU

[@SensitiveEvent]

Clock on the appliance displays 7:31 when everyone sits down.

[@dygitalsol7312]

Or because they work/write for SNL and they have to work late hours.

[@anarchist_parable]

@@dygitalsol7312 Tell me you don't have kids without telling me. They sat down for family dinner not after work food 😂

[@quietastronaut]

Love how Woody's character went from being ready to kill them to being all excited about them having a baby "Aw they have a baby too" 🤣🤣

[@StephRae]

Woody is so chaotic. Absolutely perfect.

[@Southernblonde1310]

That was one of my favorite parts.

[@calisongbird]

@@StephRae he’s also a COVID conspiracy nutter whacko

[@atralis5134]

Weird trivia but Woody Harrelson's dad was a hitman that spent the vast majority of his life in prison. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Harrelson He assassinated a federal judge.

[@babyvia6712]

Can’t believe Martin is cheating on Lizzo omg

[@henrytawnn8694]

She got a man on the Minnesota Vikings, so I think she'll be fine.

The way Keenan hugs and jumps around in a circle that little girl is EXACTLY what I expect an Uncle Keenan to do! 😆

'long as he's not being mad at you for not telling him that Auto Trader will deliver his used car...

I do like Keenan.. Always like him since I was a kid and Keenan and Kel was on.

That girl looked so happy. Anybody would be lucky to have an Uncle Keenan.

[@beefusmcwellington2933]

Anytime I watch a please don’t destroy video I truly can’t tell what’s gonna happen 😂 They get more unpredictable every single time 👏🏼👏🏼

[@Kattywagon29]

I was literally holding my face with both hands - Home Alone style. I could feel the incredulous humor/surprise on my face, but I couldn't relax my muscles until it was over. Then I watched it again without the stress of not knowing what was gonna happen.

[@richarddecredico6098]

Comedy for people that have no idea what humor is

[@jimwall2291]

It's a bit like Lonely Island videos, where everything is kind of surreal. Like someone wrote out what they dreamed the night before.

[@Mangor100]

Bens timing and way he says "its not 2015 man" is freaking gold, these guys are one of the best additions to SNL ever

[@simaoalicechen2448]

"Radical Acceptance." Very underrated line.

[@marthareis5873]

I loved that -- amazing how concisely they communicated the idea that they were long suffering parents of a teenager with just a few words. This skit has LAYERS.

[@elvis1745]

The "IT'S NOT 2015!" part had me rolling!

[@subteeninhumansamuraiamphi5019]

I laughed at the dad vibe woody had when he said “is everything ok with you and your little friends” 😂

[@jenniferfranco8263]

😂😂😂😂

[@grm6740]

I think it's a play on the fact woodys dad was a contract killer. Hence why he says let's Kill then in the next scene

[@subteeninhumansamuraiamphi5019]

@@grm6740 😳 thats insane! I never knew that! glad he grew up a good normal guy.

[@batgurrl]

Woody’s delivery of the word stakeout was everything. This sketch is their only recurring sketch and it never fails to amuse

[@saanasalonen8684]

recurring? can you tell me names of the rest so i can catch up please?

[@batgurrl]

@@saanasalonen8684 are you too stoned to look on KZbin for yourself? They all have the same name

[@jerrybayless7677]

I love how the stakeout vehicle is an immaculate 1978 Oldsmobile Regency, like it would just blend in and not look suspicious. Hanging with Woody is like being in a true time machine.

[@juliebayless1181]

It's like it is from one of those 70's cop/detective shows like Hawaii Five-O.

[@ceejeezyCGZ]

The Please Don't Destroy team are always hilarious.

[@markmurray5214]

The new age lonely island

[@jessif.]

Woody made this one of the best Do Not Destroys ever. I love the way he said, “That’s a low blow” and his cheerful smile at the end.

[@southparkfan01]

Throwing the phones away took it to another level!

[@TheCountryMouse]

Love how John holds the trash can without taking his eyes off the screen, lol!

[@gabrielidusogie9189]

I like how the people that are auditioning for Ben even wear his style of clothes. In fact Ben has worn those clothes before.

[@babykukla]

My favorite part of the entire show. Brilliantly written, and excellently played.

[@hg82met]

Love these guys. Glad John and Martin found each other.

[@cartercartercartercar]

the throwing the phone away to avoid texting back is so stupidly funny. these are always the best sketches

OMG ... I could not stop laughing at at this skit! Those "Please Don't Destroy" segments are the bomb! SNL needs to pump out more of these.

[@slnwlf]

"it's not 2015!" gets me every time 😂

[@DakinRinone]

"It's 2015 man, it's not insane." Something only an insane man would say! Lolol has me dying.

[@zachhalverson69]

"We'll make it look like a robbery." is a very underrated line

[@korbell1089]

I love that Woody's answer is to immediately pull out a gun!😅

They're doing a movie actually

[@charlottestockham9529]

Yes and no. I feel like it’s such a rare gem that keeping it this way is part of the brilliance of it all.

[@DS-182]

​@Charlotte Stockham I agree with that.. but an over concentration would make them fade out too fast... but on the other hand, I'd rather watch them for an hour than SNL and the lame musical "artists" the host picks

[@muraddiab6393]

They wrote a movie that’s coming out this august

[@AllanAdamson]

5 minutes after Woody is plotting their death via a staged robbery, they select him as their new best friend, now that's true to life

[@jasmines.4306]

not the nepo babies attacking my Ben! lmao

[@coolboss999]

They are back with an amazing and funny sketch as usual. Wish they made more this season ❤❤

“I’ll make it look like a robbery” 💀💀💀

Wait how does that make it better lol

[@AbbaZabbaOlyFrn]

​@90s kid I don't know, but Woody's Dad was a hit-man. Knowing that I thought it was funny that his solution was to murder them

[@keefthestone]

Receives a text from Ben. Immediately throws the whole phone away. 😂

[@petroskatsilieris1897]

Those "Please don't destroy" sketches are BY FAR the best of this season's SNL.

[@emiliallthetime]

the 2015 line fking sent me over the edge lmao

[@quietastronaut]

A positive spin on this: Isn't it actually a great compliment to Ben that they're spending time with him at all when they're busy with a family of FOUR kids? lol

[@neojd]

1 of their best. Just kept upping the ante. Loved the “it’s not 2015 man!” 😂

[@NayatSarı]

Ben: What’s happening here!?!!😮 Me: What’s happening here!?!!😂

[@laurenw.8178]

I was not expecting the whole secret relationship and family twist, this was hilarious 😂 also Woody just casually pulling out the g*n and saying “… time to kill them?”

[@canaisyoung3601]

Depending on how dark your sense of humor is, that part is funnier when you realize that Woody Harrelson's father was a hitman.

[@benzaiten933]

I was mesmerized by the framed Paul Rudd autograph!

[@henrytawnn8694]

I saw that, too.

[@Zebragirl2]

It’s from the sketch with Zoe Kravitz where they gave cat woman a woman cat (they gave ant man a man ant).

The killing suggestion is funny when considering that Woody's dad was an assassin.

Right? He did a hit on Federal Judge John Wood. The Federal Courthouse in SA is named after him.

Ben's face and the "wut" at 1:31 made my soul briefly leave my body Edit: Watching it a second time the "it's 2015 it's not insane to be gay" and again Ben's face, I'm literally coughing from laughing too hard

it's 2015...my dumb ass didn't even notice till he said "it's 2023" lol
