Leave it like that Saturday Night Live comedy trio Please Do Not Destroy to raise awareness of their latest digital short. This time, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy play two would-be skydivers whose emotions run high after a series of bad vibes from their instructors, played by Ben Marshall and boss Michael Keaton.
The sketch begins with Marshall admitting to the two that he feels “weird” about jumping — definitely not the pep talk you want to hear before hurtling to Earth. Herlihy tries to reassure Marshall by saying, “Maybe that feeling will never go away,” but Marshall’s blunt response sends a chill through their nerves: “No, I don’t usually panic. I just woke up feeling great today. Like, luck is not on my side.”
Things quickly escalate when Keaton, another teacher, gets on the phone with his lawyer, revealing that he recently lost custody of his children. Oh, and the pilot? His first day at work.
What a bad day to go skydiving.
