Should've been Jupiter instead of the moon. Since Jupiter protects the inner solar system from most asteroids and comets.

Nah. Jupiter would be like "Yummy! Moar!!!"
agree, would make more sense a comet asking Neptune for directions, and then colliding with Jupiter with Pac-Man face
It's way more complicated than that:

The way the complicated orbital mechanics work, there is a "gate" which is the only place where asteroids/comets/whatever can cross Jupiter's orbit. This doesn't usually result in them hitting Jupiter, but it does limit their options for hitting Earth.
Been a while since I watched the video, so I don't remember all the details, but that should be the basic gist.
Jupiter is "the big one".
The moon doesn't actually protect the Earth from asteroids. It's a net-zero because the extra mass attracts more asteroids.
Your mom’s extra mass attracts more asteroids.
~~How did you kn...~~ uh I mean, nuh-uh!
Ok, I'm old. Asteroid is slang for what?
I don't think it's common slang but in this particular case asteroid is the penis
Now we still have to go to work tomorrow!
FUCK YOU Moon 🖕

So much for my post-election prayers...
