We all love a – it’s the American way, after all. and all that. But sometimes,. Even if you’re with your best pals, hours in a car can take a toll on anyone’s relationship.

That’s clearly where the folks over at ’s “Please Don’t Destroy” got their idea for this week’s sketch. (As a quick side note, if you haven’t watched this crew yet, you really should. They’re the best thing to come out of in years.)

Anyway, it starts out with the three members of “Please Don’t Destroy” and last week’s SNL host, Jenna Ortega, in a car that I think is an early 2000s Subaru Forester. That doesn’t really matter, I guess. They’re singing and having a grand old time – as you do at the beginning of a — but things quickly go awry.

You see, the guy who looks like Steve DaSilva forgot to tell the guy who looks like me about the upcoming exit. It happens. We’ve all been there. Being in charge of the music and the navigation is not an enviable task, but it’s what you get for sitting shotgun. The vibes get weird, but they soon recover. Then, disaster strikes again when Jenna sips on her big gulp just a little bit too loudly and annoys the guy who looks like Owen Bellwood. It’s a real mess!

Okay, I don’t want to spoil too much of the clip, as you should really watch it. But, it gets way more intense and ridiculous from there. It’s some real weird Gen-Z humor that you may not be a fan of, but I love it. I don’t know, maybe I’m weird.

Either way, Enjoy “Road Trip” because it’s one of the funnest things to come out of SNL in a really long time.

I love tiny, of . I have a that is roughly half the size of a normal cat, and she’s perfect. I own a 2013 , which is like the miniature version of a normal-sized vehicle (at least here in Texas) — but beyond that, I also own a Hot...

I Entered My Lifted Miata In A Real Off-Road Race, Here's What Happened
I have two automotive loves: The first is the Miata, the second is off-road racing. For a while I raced air-cooled Volkswagens in the deserts of California and Nevada and I was lucky enough to co-drive in a class 11 stock bug in the Baja 1000 a few years...
