@@Tao_Tologythank you. I can’t believe young people use casted as a form of “to cast”. It literally means being a part of a caste system. Lord please let these children read a book.

That's some of the best child casting I've ever seen. Kids looked just like 'em and had great timing. Good job. lol

[@chuckrainey8036]

I saw a clip elsewhere & had to look this up to make sure it wasn’t actually the PDD guys in a mid-00s MadTV skit or something

[@techytrekki]

So great that they brought out Mulaney, glad SNL also decided to give PDD a spot in the intro, they deserve the credit they’ve really made the show all the more better.

[@canaisyoung3601]

The last time the show gave a popular recurring sketch their own credit in the opening was when Rob Smigel's TV Funhouse cartoons were on. Kinda disappointed SNL doesn't have animated sketches on anymore. Those were what got me to actually like the show (and, with MADtv on back in the mid-1990s, it wasn't easy. Didn't really have the attention span for SNL back then and didn't know that the show's quality varies, which is why it's been on for so long, which is why it took me a while to like it. Most people latch on to Weekend Update as the show's saving grace; mine was the TV Funhouse cartoons).

[@loveforeignaccents]

You mean the dude who cheated on his wife and had a baby with his mistress? Yeah, super cool 🤡🤡🤡

[@techytrekki]

@@loveforeignaccents nah I’m not saying that Mulaney as a person is a cool dude, he did some messed up unforgivable shit for sure, just thought it was funny for the bit though

[@Spaceghost5446]

​@@loveforeignaccentshow long has it been since that happened, also was there ever any proof besides speculation. And lastly go get a life so you stop holding grudges against a celebrities in which all parties have probably gotten over, touch grass.

[@kengeorgejones6855]

@@canaisyoung3601 By the time TV Funhouse ended I felt like they'd run out of ideas, but I do miss the variety. The last few cartoons they had were due to the pandemic (Middle Aged Mutant Ninja Turtles).

[@ShinRyojin]

Those kids were amazing. They nailed the delivery of Def Jam comics. Also, that coochie lunchable line was genius.

[@kengeorgejones6855]

One of the best PDD pre-tapes due to the fantastic casting of those kids. Che's mother has good comic timing too. And of course, Mulaney shows up in a Pete episode somewhere. Great use of him.

I’ve been a stand up since I was an 18 year old kid. And, when immigrant mom brought home the “Princes of Comedy” tape, because she didn’t feel like talking about the divorce, I promise you my life change. Seeing three kids who obviously went to private school, do comedy was all this black kid needed to have a dream. “Wearing cleats in the house after soccer practice 😂” is still the dirtiest joke, I’ve ever heard. Love from Brazil.

[@wkatc007]

[@coolboss999]

What a great PDD episode to start the season off with. Also, I applaud those child actors. They did really good ❤

This whole sketch is great from start to finish, but the way the Destroy Boys all turn to Pete in unison at 0:59 is my favorite part.

[@seanjohnson9094]

The guy aggressively giving a standing ovation at 2:16 is just perfect 👌

[@icantollie]

The little details like the sound engineer quickly attenuating the feedback after Mulaney's joke bombs are what make PDD prerecorded pieces so dope

[@Schyler__Parker]

“Aye put a sock in it wise guy” is my favorite line 😭🤣

[@JulezWinnfield]

By far, my favorite PDD sketch. When the black woman moves over from the white guy to the black guy is hilarious.

[@willhartman293]

It’s amazing how far they’ve come, because now they’re in the opening credits! It’s reminiscent of what Andy Sandburg did in the early 2000’s

[@phillipskillern5513]

Ayooo… anyone who grew up with Def Comedy Jam knows how spot on this was. I was only a kid and I’d watch it with my uncles. From there I found out about Comic View and after that it was a wrap. This actually paid homage to all the early talents that came off DCJ. I was dying laughing at this bit and so was my girl. Funny thing is, it was so funny on its own, she had never heard of Def Comedy Jam. We went and watched a couple old spots after SNL. Salute to these 3 guys. They’re legit great comedians!

[@canaisyoung3601]

​@@eskel3t096Hey, if the guys from Kids in the Hall (who wrote and at least one of them was a cast member for SNL) can do it, then they can too. They do have a movie coming out and they actually got added to the opening credits (that hasn't happened since Rob Smigel had the TV Funhouse cartoons on the show after The Dana Carvey Show got screwed over by ABC. Not even Andy Samberg's Lonely Island videos or Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney's short films got that treatment).

[@davidcarlson6981]

They should just have the entire last 30 minutes of SNL
