Scarlett Johansson Jokes About ‘Avengers' Box Office In Please Don't Destroy Newark Airport Skit With Bad Bunny
In the final Please Don't Destroy video for the season, the depressed trio were treated to a little vacation complete with first-class airline tickets courtesy of the finale's host Scarlett Johansson. Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy were enjoying the perks of first class alongside glam track suit-wearing Johansson — breaking into a song and dance — until she mentioned that they would be landing at Newark, the New Jersey airport whose recent air traffic control woes have been making national headlines.
The guys' concerns were soon validated as the pilots of their plane couldn't make contact with Newark and their navigation screens went black. In the shaking first-class cabin, emergency signs came on, with playing hands flashing next to the 'no smoking' light.

'Looks like this is it guys. Anything to get off your chest?,' Herlihy yelled.
'This might sound corny but the only thing I regret is that Avengers didn't make more money at the box office,' said Johansson, who played the Black Widow in the MCU.
Finally, an air traffic controller responded to the pilots' pleas. Played by the episode's musical guest Bad Bunny, he was brand new on the job but, with no one else around, he had to rely on manuals to guide the plane. Naturally, he broke into a song too, which seemed to help.
The sketch, which you can watch above, also skewered Please Don't Destroy's lower than usual output this season.
'You're sad the season's over, and you only did like 2 videos?,'Johansson asked them when she first walked into their room.
This season, the trio did 6 videos vs. 21 across the previous two seasons.

Twins pitcher trolls Kody Clemens with callback to dad's broken bat incident
Give Minnesota Twins pitcher Joe Ryan a ton of credit. He sure knows his baseball history. On Friday, as the Minnesota Twins faced the Milwaukee Brewers, the starter perfectly trolled his teammate Kody Clemens with a perfect callback to one of his father's most infamous moments: The broken bat toss at Mike Piazza in Game 2 of the 2000 World Series. Advertisement Ryan would've been four years old when Roger Clemens lost his cool. But the moment was clearly fresh in Ryan's mind Friday when Christian Yelich's splintered bat landed right in front of the mound. Ryan grabbed the bat and pretended to toss it at Yelich as Kody Clemens looked on from the infield. We can only assume Ryan has been waiting for this opportunity since Minnesota added Clemens back in April. If it just came into Ryan's mind in the moment, then more power to him. That should make for fun clubhouse fodder — at least, it will be until Roger shows up.

Spider-Man and Spaghetti Western actor Jack Betts dead aged 96
Actor Jack Betts has died aged 96. The American star was best known for his roles in Spider-Man, Batman Forever and a long list of Italian Spaghetti Westerns under the name Hunt Powers, and passed away in his sleep at his home in Los Osos, California, on Thursday (18.06.25), according to a statement from his family, with news of his death only emerging on Saturday. (21.06.25) Born in Miami, Florida, in 1929, Jack studied theatre before launching his acting career on the Broadway stage in a production of William Shakespeare's Richard III. He later found fame in Italy after landing the lead role in Sugar Colt, directed by Franco Giraldi, in 1966. Though he had no formal Western experience at the time, Jack bluffed his way into the role — the first of a dozen films in which he would play a gunslinger from 1966 to 1972. Jack told The Dev Show in a 2021 interview: 'In the hotel next to mine was Clint Eastwood. He'd go up to his mountain and do his Western and I'd go up to my mountain and do my Western. But while his films had distribution all over the world, my films were distributed (everywhere) except Canada and America.' Despite the lack of the North American distribution, Jack's performances earned him international recognition. Upon returning to the US in the 1970s, he resumed theatre work, including a run as Dracula on Broadway between 1977 and 1980. He later took on television roles, most notably as Dr Ivan Kipling in the soap opera One Life to Live, which he appeared in until 1985. In 1988, Jack accepted an invitation from his longtime friend, actress Doris Roberts, to move into a downstairs apartment in her Hollywood Hills home. Doris, known for her role in Everybody Loves Raymond, passed away in 2016. Jack said they were 'best friends to the very end' and that they had 'wonderful times together'. The pair also appeared together on Everybody Loves Raymond in a 1999 episode. Over the years, Jack made guest appearances on several hit TV shows including Seinfeld, Frasier, Friends and Power Rangers. He also had small roles in Batman Forever (1995) and Batman and Robin (1997.) In 2002, he appeared in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man as Henry Balkan, a board member of Oscorp Industries. His character delivers the line informing Norman Osborn, played by Willem Dafoe, that he is being ousted from the company — a pivotal moment that sets Osborn on the path to becoming the Green Goblin. Jack's character, along with fellow board members, is later killed in the storyline. Fans of the actor have paid tribute on social media following news of his death. One said: 'Well shoot, another Hollywood gunslinger rides into the sunset. Jack Betts was one of those actors who could make even a B-movie feel like an A-list production.' Another fan added: 'RIP to a legend. Jack Betts brought so much to the screen – from gritty westerns to comic book charm.'
