Pigeons destroy Please Don’t Destroy’s ‘SNL’ office before premiere: ‘S— everywhere’

So much for the name Please Don’t Destroy!

Saturday Night Live‘s comedy trio of Martin Herlihy, Ben Marshall, and John Higgins — a.k.a. the sketch-comedy group Please Don’t Destroy — revealed that pigeons definitely did destroy their office before the NBC series returned for its 50th season.

“New coworkers just dropped,” Marshall joked in the caption of his Instagram video chronicling the hilarious incident.

The video begins with Marshall walking into the office, “excited for a great season, feeling really good,” only to discover new inhabitants that made themselves at home during the break. Set to Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life,” the montage reveals multiple pigeons, including one with only one leg, snuck in the window and trashed the office.

At one point, the guys think the pigeons finally left through the window, only to discover them hiding on a shelf. The birds fly around the office, knocking lamps over, and text messages show that some people believe it to be a good omen, while others think it could be bad if there was an odd number of pigeons.

Regardless of what the pigeons’ arrival means symbolically, the Please Don’t Destroy guys had to deal with the physical consequences. “Oh yeah, they s— on the sofa,” the security guard said, while Higgins responded, “Yeah, they s— everywhere.”
