The latest Saturday Night Live delivered the always welcome treat of a Pete Davidson rap number. This one got a little extra juice, too, thanks to the talents of the comedy trio Please Don’t Destroy (Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy) that writes for the show. Taylor Swift is also there, that’s pretty exciting, right?
In “Three Sad Virgins” the three Please Don’t Destroy guys become the butt of a string of musically enhanced jokes that feel like the work of a grade school bully. Davidson is his typically animated self, but the uproarious sketch soars into the stratosphere when musical guest Taylor Swift, the so-called “queen of bridges,” pops up to — you guessed it! — sing the bridge.
Davidson’s knack for rapping, Eminem-style, has been one of the brighter spots on SNL in recent years. And this new one immediately climbs to legendary status.
