To be fair, everyone I've ever known who dressed this level of goth has been exactly like this.
Yes!
Is that being fair, really? To be honest with you!
💯 that was me
Thats exactly what I was thinking
completely true for everyone I have known that dresses that goth. no offense but sometimes I wonder why are you dressing so extreme if you are trying to act so vanilla
I love that their sketches all take place in a tiny office.
Uh, is that irony? THEY'RE THE WRITERS.
@@rickrose5377 What’s your point?
@@coojar
These guys are not part of the regular cast, they are the writing staff. The office is their workplace at Thirty Rock -- it's where they dream this shit up. The bits are their fantasies as writers for the show. Of course that's where the bits take place.
@@rickrose5377 Yeah, no shit. I just said that I liked that it took place in an office.
Everyone give the original commenter a break. Lonely Island had two out of three ppl who were just writers but their sketches were out in the world. It’s noteworthy that all their sketches take place in their office
Honestly they seem a whole lot nicer than 95% of the all random people on the subway...and 100% nicer than my own family.
As most goths are lmao
Then you need help ,ASAP !
Except for judging that one guy's hat.
Most goths I've known (me at one time included) are really nice. I think because we're expressing ourselves, and it's mostly about self-expression, not making a statement, like punks (who are in-general, also surprisingly chill -unless you're a douche)
Love goths!
“Who are you calling?”
“The fashion police”
😂😂 Love these sketches so much
Goths actually do that!
They legit just wanted to dress up.
They're on a long-running late-night sketch show that has very talented hair, make-up, and costume people. If it were you, you'd do the same.
yup!
if I was part of the cast I'd try to get into fun costumes as often as possible as well.
This is one of Ben Marshall’s previous characters - the original sketch is super funny as well
I honestly don't know what I just watched, but they looked great!
Yeah it's comedy
That Disneyland joke was hilarious especially if you ever went to Disneyland on a Friday night in the mid to late 90's, a lot of goths.
Also Bats Day in the Fun Park or Goth Day at Disneyland which started in 1999
@@gargoylguy Came here just to say this
If you went anywhere in the late 90's there were a lot of goths.
I assume that was the Nightmare Before Christmas effect, lol
Oh I remember that trying to find somewhere to smoke a clove
My FAVORITE part of this skit is HOW THEY NAILED 90'S SHOW THEME SONGS!! The overhead shot of a city, the font, the voice, it was all there!
They're old enough to remember those.
The only thing missing is Bob Saget! (RIP)
@@LazyIRanch he was a pedo I heard
I'm thinking more of the '80s. '94, the yr Full House ended, began the era of more sophisticated sitcoms and their theme songs.
🎶 _"Sometimes the jokes don't land"_ 🎶
Goth sent here by another goth. Nailed the look, perfect perfect perfect. And yes, we mostly live perfectly normal lives.
Just DO NOT interrupt when the music is playing. 🖤 🦇 ⚰️ 🥀
"Those rat bastards..." Bruh, that joke landed where I'm at.
One of my favorite sayings lol
that bit absolutely paralyzed me. we need more of this.
Laughing in Irish.
can you explain?
The “normal” goth dog and kid just had me in stitches.😆😉
“They’re surprisingly judgy when it comes to other people’s fashion choices.” So, not that different from what other people do then?🙃
Exactly... but the irony misses them.
@@peanutbutterdragon4105 the irony is part of the skit. Love SNL.
That's why they're 3 normal goths!
@@joeblow5087 the goth character's they portray miss the irony.
TBH I’ve never met a goth who’d judge someone for wearing a fedora. Judge someone for wearing blue jeans, yes, but they’d love the fedora.
I was resistant to the Please Don’t Destroy stuff at first but these pre tapes have become one of the best parts of SNL. Kudos to Lorne and everyone involved for seeing the potential of having 3 dudes, who don’t appear in the show otherwise, create stuff like this. 47 year old show still trying new things. You have to respect it.
I feel like Lorne deserves a lot of credit for managing to shift with the times for so long. I can't imagine just about anyone else managing.
They’re hilarious!! Im sure it doesn’t hurt that the shorter one with brown hair is the son of Jimmy Fallon’s lead guy. The older one with the glasses 👓.. all 3 are talented but definitely had a foot in the door
I'm guessing it also give them a bit more time to do setup and get ready for the next skit maybe?
Same on the trying part but during every one of their bits all I can hear is the 3 sad virgins song.
As a goth. This is actually how we are lmao
Hahahaha for real, also as a goth, my reaction through the whole sketch was, Oops, well, I guess the whole world knows the truth now hahaha!
@@crystalanderson1770 we just mundane people who snuggle our cats but wear cool clothes and dance like a bird
@@RedMoonCreates Slightly more skulls than expected in the home decor. Takes a parasol on hikes. I'm seriously a regular old basic bitch who wears all black and thinks it's Halloween all year
@@RedMoonCreates Live, Laugh, Love... FOR REMEMBER YOU SHALL DIE
We know.
*sometimes the Jokes don't land"...
Three normal goth guys
*SPLAT*
Totally did not. But….. we still love them
@@kaylaswanson9918 it did if you're goth or goth adjacent or know any actual goths.
These guys NEED their own show. They're way too good to be doing two minute skits.
They have a youtube channel where they have more varied stuff. I don't want to get in trouble for posting links, so I'll just post both channel names:
Please Don't Destroy
Ben Marshall
@@kellylockwood8287 oh I've seen everything they've put out, but they still deserve a high budget series.
Right
They are also writers on the show. They don’t just do these shorts
But their skits are vastly superior to 99% of all the other sketches. They need their own vehicle to maximize their talents.
I really didn’t want this end! I could watch 3 normal goths for days
I couldn't. I'm happy it ended.
I'd like to see em leave the office and go on adventures together 😺
Perfect comedy involves not knowing where the joke is gonna land. This is just perfect comedy😂😂😂
Agreed. That's why family guy fizzled out. It got to where the gist of the punchline was going through your head while they were still setting up the joke
Edit; except Adam West. Dudes character always cracked me up, all the way through
These skits brighten up my little goth life in the dark existence of Norway.
@Menilek Mulugeta Of course she is!!
You’re welcome to switch lives with me here in cold, gloomy, authoritarian northeast China.
@@roxythefoxsayfurismurderan3187 nah, I'm good over here. I do like the dark.
@@elizabethbathory6144 heeeeeeey, girl, hey! ♥
You liked this sketch? Then I hates it.
It’s like if Noel Fielding and Russell Brand had three normal children.
a whole detective agency
Children of the Goth Detectives
@@elherb4811 "goth detectives" yessssss
Oh shit yess!!!
this comment thread makes me happy
We definitely need more “three normal goths” sketches! Thanks, Please Don’t Destroy!
Yes, I need this to be a reoccurring bit! With rotating cameos from SNL regulars and/or the guest hosts.
"I want abs, but I want pizza more." Story of my life. 🤣
Same. 😮
Story of everyone's life. That's why they included it in this sketch about how normal these guys are.
These guys are an awesome addition to SNL. The time travel sketch is awesome, this sketch was an unexpected turn as usual and super creative... Look forward to your stuff every week! thank you
The whole sketch is actually so sweet
I lost it at the musical cues. 😂 These guys have already hit their stride and they’ve only been on the SNL team 6 months!
This sketch really highlights John's incredible chin. Jesus dude, amazing.
I definitely had a goth “phase” that never 100% left me and I think this is pretty spot-on with how goths are in general. I’ve hung out with many who identify as goths and I think they make great friends. They’re truly very intelligent, cordial, and loyal. They will sometimes judge someone else’s fashion, but oftentimes feel guilty afterwards and self-deprecate as a result (which is charming in its own way 😆🖤).
Its not that were criticizing someone elses fashion were criticizing the fact that people call themselves goth without listening to at least one goth song. It doesn't matter what you look like. Personally as a goth i dont judge others based on their clothing style. I only judge them on their knowledge of gothic subculture. Yeah you can look like a totally normie basic average person but if you dont listen to the music i hate to break it to you but you're not a goth.
Its like calling yourself a metal head without listening to metal. Wearing black doesn't make you goth listening to bauhaus does.
@@coffintears5821 Ah, this again... so I prefer Nox Arcana and other such orchestral and neoclassical darkwave music to traditional Goth music. But I listen to Dead Can Dance's Dionysus EP ALL the time. Is my love for that one EP enough for me to qualify as a Goth?
@@coffintears5821 That's not being goth. killing Romans is goth. It's Not always about wearing black and listing to Christen death.
@@nyxshadowhawk Yup, in my book. Maybe spread out to more of their catalog though? At least start with the greatest hits... Goth is a large umbrella that can have goth folk and also electro-goth in it. And some goth that is borderline metal, but I draw the line at black metal/death metal. That stuff isn't really part of Goth to me, much like Marilyn Manson never was, either. He was a poser/hanger-on whose only contribution to the scene was bringing in some baby bats who then got curious and learned about stuff.
@@coffintears5821 While I agree with you in some aspects, I think it is also important to evaluate if they are WILLING to listen to stuff. Our job, as goths or elder goths, can be to shepherd people and try to turn them into baby bats, educate them about the music, etc, and try to do it in as understanding of a way as possible based upon the openness of the person in question. No need to ooze pretension or else you'll just turn them off to the best music they might ever get to hear. And gateway them into it with some Cure, New Order, Banshees, then you can pull the "oh you liked New Order? This is them before their old lead singer took his own life, you've probably seen the T-shirts" and boom, Joy Division. Then it is a short step to Bauhaus and then they can handle ANYTHING. Well, almost anything.
Almost every time I met a goth at a concert or somewhere, they seemed pretty normal and friendly if not a little arrogant and self conscious. So yeah, pretty normal.
Ben is rocking the looks! All 3 of them did a great job, but lipstick really suits Ben well!
I love how 1:06 implies the existence of a separate bathroom for goths
This just proves everyone looks better dressed as a goth
Yessss
Yes!!!
Remember when Hillary Clinton was photoshopped as a goth. She looked so much better 🤣🤣🤣
huh
Exactly my thoughts! 🤣
Fun fact: goths for real love Disney Parks.
Bat Days
That actually makes a lot of sense
Probably Haunted Mansion the most
only the normal ones
im goth and can’t stand disney also do not dress in this extreme. but my jokes land
🖖🏾😹 I was the only black goth kid in high school and was eating pizza while watching this! Stop reading my mind SNL! lmbao
If they made this an actual show, I’d be watching it all the time. This made me laugh so hard!
Needs to crossover with the Portlandia Goths…. :)
I was thinking similar.
And go shopping for a vacuum with JAMIE! at BB&B
Or, if anyone besides me remembers, Goth Talk.
@@eboethrasher well now I do! Azrael Abyss and Circe Nightshade reunion for sure!
But can we talk about how the wardrobe dept totally nailed each of their looks??
These sketches are quickly becoming my fav
"They also happen to be Disney adults" got me
Three Normal Goth is recorded in front of a live studio audience
They missed a great joke there. Definitely should’ve said that at the beginning.
*audience members are all dressed up as zombies*
And Ryan Reynolds is the nosy neighbor as himself
The face after "I want pizza more" 😂😂😂😂
These dudes are the best thing about SNL right now. They need their own show.
LMAO the picture of the goth dog
This sketch has everything. They even cleverly made fun of people who say "doggo," which is very much needed right now.
Why did I immediately think of the Stefon sketches when I read “This sketch has everything”
@Marc W I did too. Even read it in Stefon's voice. Am I dating myself? 😳
I'm literally a goth that says doggo. LOL.
I would watch this series.
“In this cut for time sketch”
Does..snl not realize their sketches are the funniest thing that happens every week?
No I really don't think they do.
I'm in love with Ben's cute smile :)
there were some subtle moments of genius in that one!
This was excellent!!! Strangely, I would love this to be an actual live sketch on the show! 😂🤣😂
I wish they included the "I'm just a Jim looking for his Pam" line from Ben's original version of this sketch
Probably the most accurate portrayal of goths I've ever seen. They're people just like anyone else.
Three Millenial Goths.
you need a normal goth mom appearance. i’ll happily volunteer 😂 this was cute.
Immediately thrust into a giggle fit....every time.
Can this be a recurring sketch??? I want to see more of the 3 normal goths
Ben Marshall has another sketch like this on his TH-cam channel.
Then go meet some goths?
@@SynthApprentice except these are 3 normal goths, not just goths
@@DaringDanielletravels You say that like there's a difference.
This has been my favorite part of SNL, there is hope from the future of comedy 🎭
"He made his eyes black for the summertime." 💀🤣
Of all the skits they cut this masterpiece
Saying sometimes their jokes don’t land, was foreshadowing for this clip in general. 😭
Love these "Please Don't Destroy" skits. The comedic timing of these guys is amazing.
Did they meet in college? How did they come together?
As an elder goth, I need more of them 💁🏼♀️✨
"Sometimes their jokes don't land" please that is painfully relatable
I love these guys! Their odd humor speaks to me in every one of their sketches. 🤘
1:21 "sometimes the jokes don't land."
agreed.
That comes part and parcel if you're a writer for SNL.
Thank you for the shout out SNL. Bats Day in the Fun Park / Goth Day at Disneyland. Started in 1999.
Long-haired Goth Guy Martin, taking the business meeting.🤣😂
As a normal goth, this was like watching my own life
Bro why aren’t they airing these live, they’re so good
Time constraints, digital sketches will never take priority regardless of how good they are.
Usually they do air these shorts to the live SNL audience (you can hear the laughter), but this time they didn't.
There are some they air live and some they don't. This is one of the cut after dress rehearsal ones (along with Rami Malek Wants a Treat, Future Selves, And New Personalities).
They're actually funny and funny things aren't allowed on SNL anymore.
How did I know they were gonna make it into a sitcom by the first 2 jokes lol
Because of the intro music
@@OBSaxman yeah, the intro music was a dead giveaway on that one
@@OBSaxman My b, I was disassociated from reality at the time and missed that part
Why in the world would you cut a Please Don't Destroy sketch?? These guys are amazing
Honestly, I would watch the hell out of a real "Three Normal Goths" sitcom.
Love, love LOVE these guys.
This needs to be a show of its own
Thank you for being funny...you are saving SNL!
Living for these trio sketches now
These sketch’s feel like a sprinkle of cable tv ✨sitcoms ✨ on SNL
Can this be a sitcom please? Goths need shows, too!
Well we've got The Addams Family and What We Do in the Shadows.
@@nyxshadowhawk I don't think we should settle for just those two. Or Dark Shadows. Or any witchy show. Or any other vampire show for that matter. We should have some wholesome goth shows, damnit.
I guess you and I have different ideas of what constitutes “wholesome.”
I could've watched so much more of this skit lmao
The idea of going apple picking in the first weekend of April is lowkey the funniest part of this video to me.
LOL .. I remember being Goth/Alternative.. still am I suppose.. 30 years later... we always saw ourselves as normal!!... it was the outside world that was abnormal.. fake celebrities, shitty politics, war, gumpf and BS...
Going black but being a rainbow inside..
.... great sketch 😂👍👍👍
Better days.
@@MothGirl007 oh yes ! 🤘🤜🤛
Same. I was the weird kid in school. Now I’m the weird mom. lol, definitely toned down as an adult but still definitely stick out at parent teacher meetings.
Same...I'm 47
@@laurawallace1346 haha oh goodness I can imagine 😂 I am one of "those mums" too ☺️😆
I would rather be as I am , than like other mums 😏😳😂
Y’all are incredible!! Every sketch you’ve done so far has knocked it out of the park. A Please Don’t Destroy sketch is always the highlight of any episode!
so glad that they made ben’s short video into a sketch
I’ll totally hang with these guys
I could hang out in their office all week long bouncing ideas off them. It would be a pleasure.
Brilliant. I cannot get enough of these guys. I look forward to a new bit from them all week. So smart and funny. I love it! : )
Im so into this lmao
The black eyeballs right into the goth dress up dog had me laughing so hard omfg😂
Y isn't this a whole series 😂😂😂
i guess this is too weird to air, but it's a shame this sketch was cut for time. it's a gem
I need MORE of this please. And if Fred Armisen doesn’t show up some day well… he needs to
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I originally thought this was Fred and Carrie when it showed up in my feed.
This feels like one of those Adult Swim shorts that plays at 2am and you wake up the next morning wondering if it actually happened or if it was some sort of fever dream
I love the title “please don’t destroy” 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes! PDD + Goth + 90's = it's about time!
Should have kept it in.
That. Dialogue. Bravo.
Tarantino-ish.
Yeah.
Is it just me, or do they look good like this?
Just remembering some people from high school that looked exactly like this. Great friends!
ok but, john's look specifically was slaying lol
This is my favorite one they’ve done! 😂
If anyone remembers Bens normal goth sketch on TH-cam, you’re a real one
Thank god this got cut.
This was SO f’in funny!!!🤣😄❤...I love the part where he’s wearing bat wings, and someone’s trying to get by him, in the hallway of a business!
Can we get a whole series about this???
"They use the normal people bathroom" 😂😂😂
“who are you calling?”
“the fashion police”
“AUHAAA”
"FASCION POLICE"
“Those rat bastards, they’ll pay for what they did”😂😂😂
