“Everyone is after this treasure!” NBC’s Peacock has debuted an official trailer for Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain, a feature comedy from the SNL comedians. This was initially set to play in theaters, but is now getting a streaming release in November on Peacock. “Please Don’t Destroy” is a comedy group from NYC consisting of Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy, who began collaborating as students at NYU. The group was originally founded in 2017, based on an act titled Please Don’t Destroy My Farm. The film follows the three “Please Don’t Destroy” friends as deadbeat grown-ups. When they realize that they don’t like their life trajectory, they set off to find a gold treasure that is rumored to be buried in the nearby mountain. Martin, John, and Ben co-star, along with Conan O’Brien, Bowen Yang, Meg Stalter, X Mayo, Nichole Sakura, Cedric Yarbrough, Sunita Mani, and featuring John Goodman as the narrator. This looks funny, but it’s definitely direct-to-video quality. Let’s get this bread.
