00:00Look at Pete Davidson's lips.
00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most notable, hilarious, and or unforgettable times somebody lost it on SNL.
00:14The truth is, we misplaced your baby.
00:26Number 30, Trauma Support Group.
00:28Well, my thing makes his thing sound like an episode of Sesame Street.
00:34What's that, Samuel?
00:36Forget it. I've just been through stuff, okay?
00:39Somehow, Bill Burr's group leader is not the most startling part of the sketch.
00:43While the host and his wig are a highlight, the most entertaining moment comes from Bowen Yang's character.
00:48His tough guy ruins the meeting, eats all the donuts, and can't stand the others.
00:53You can't smoke in here, Samuel.
00:55Fine, I'll just take a donut then.
00:56Okay.
00:58Yang is deep into this aggro role until he puts a cigarette out on Ashley Padilla's leg.
01:03The latter actress reacts accordingly, but it seems to startle her co-star into a laugh.
01:08Both performers end up having to recover after the loud break in the action.
01:11If you're not paying attention, this shocking turn will certainly wake you up.
01:15And I've just been staring at it for hours.
01:17Would you just shut up already?
01:21Number 49. Church on Vacation.
01:24Sad, did you have to drag us to church while we're on vacation?
01:27Yeah, can't we skip one Sunday?
01:29Hey, we're Catholics, okay?
01:31On his SNL episode, Shane Gillis brought out his irreverent side.
01:35This sketch makes him a father that takes his family to a Jamaican church.
01:38They might be on vacation, but that doesn't mean they're going to miss out on a Sunday service.
01:43Gillis tries his hand at some patois before breaking later in the sketch.
01:47Right before he finally loses it, he gives his best attempt at an accent again before chuckling to himself.
01:52The surrounding chaos and stellar performances only make it more obvious that something might happen.
02:10With Heidi Gardner giving a solid reaction, the host locks in after having a moment of laughter.
02:15Father is right, Jesus was upon the cross, died for our sins, and treaties, they're going to raise up into heaven.
02:23Ricky!
02:26What are you saying?
02:30Number 48. One-Uppers.
02:32Hey, guys, I'm sorry I'm late.
02:35Oh my gosh, Angie! I haven't seen you in so long!
02:38At a dinner between friends, Jack Black's guest arrives to do some not-so-humble brags.
02:43These are all accompanied by a signature look and bird screech.
02:47The reactions are lovably dumb, but they only ratchet up in intensity as Bowen joins the scene.
02:53Hey, by the way, Eddie, where did you get your sweater?
02:55Oh, I thrifted it.
02:57Throughout the action, the performers crack up as their co-stars try to find the camera.
03:02Black shows off his dedication as the sketch takes a few more absurd turns.
03:06The sound effects and angles are a little off, making the sketch that much funnier.
03:11You can tell the cast members are barely hanging in there.
03:14With so many different camera shots, they can't hide their faces, either.
03:17I know I am.
03:19Me too, but I don't go to the beach. I only go to black-owned pools.
03:25Number 47. Lisa from Temecula. Sports Bar.
03:30Temecula, I know that's right.
03:32Y'all been in the bathrooms here?
03:34They got that good soap.
03:35After a successful first sketch, the show decided to try it again a few more times.
03:41This version is once again funny and full of breaking like the original.
03:45With host Josh Brolin, the sketch seems to be going well, until Bowen Yang can't take it anymore.
03:50There are already some small cracks before the entire comedy dam bursts.
04:02Eggo Wodum's lines and enunciation start a domino effect with Yang.
04:06It's already such a goofy sketch, but the giggling only makes it all the more memorable.
04:10You can always count on someone laughing when Lisa from Temecula shows up.
04:13Lisa, when you cut it out, Mark was just talking, girl.
04:16I heard every word.
04:18Mr. Tarzan over here, trying to lure me to his house, talking about he got a big snake.
04:24Number 46. George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush Go Hunting.
04:28Over here. It went this way.
04:30Huh? Did you get him?
04:33Sharing some quality time together, this father and son duo spend a day in the forest.
04:38This sketch is also an excuse for two SNL titans to work together.
04:42While Dana Carvey and Will Ferrell might be heavyweights, they have to deal with an apparent slip-up.
04:46The older Bush makes a motion like he's going to slap the younger one.
04:50Were you trying to hit me?
04:51Well, no, there was a fly right near your head.
04:54It went like that.
04:56When no sound effect comes, both comedians have a moment of shock before continuing the sketch.
05:00Carvey and Ferrell pick up the pieces and do some improvisation.
05:04Using their professional skills, the duo knows how to roll with the punches despite this hiccup.
05:08Well, you put the antlers down.
05:15Number 45. New Wife.
05:17What are we celebrating tonight, bud?
05:19Yeah, Vince, what's the raison de la fête?
05:21You haven't heard? I got married this past weekend.
05:25While he's better known for his curb your enthusiasm persona, SNL lets Larry David try out different roles.
05:31This one is especially funny for how far he gets from his neurotic stereotype.
05:34As a strange man with a new wife, his character tries to impress the other partygoers.
05:39He holds it all together before he crumbles in the final minutes.
05:42Get out!
05:46Is everything okay?
05:48You got something mad.
05:52David has some ridiculous dialogue to say, making it even harder to get the words out.
05:57His giggly nature makes this wild part especially difficult near the end.
06:01You might not even find the lead-up amusing, but the Seinfeld creator certainly gives it one last comedic stamp.
06:07We do have a meeting at 6 a.m.
06:10Yeah, we got that 6 a.m. meeting.
06:14Number 44. Doctor.
06:16Hello, family.
06:20Well, this is never easy to say.
06:23We did everything we could, but he did not make it.
06:26This might be the most amazing train wreck of season 49.
06:30When Ryan Gosling shows up, you know that somebody will break.
06:34The setup here starts with a family death, and morphs into a medical melodrama.
06:39Gosling enters as Bowen Yang's helper, with the two playing characters that also love cookies.
06:44That is genius dessert salad.
06:46The dressing could be chocolate syrup, or...
06:48Ice cream!
06:51The host breaks more than once as he makes a hilarious mistake with a camera.
06:55Between the food gags and ensemble acting, this feels like a gloriously weird scene.
07:00It hits yet another peak when Molly Carney accidentally clips her co-star with a wheelchair.
07:05By that point, many performers lose their composure in this funny sketch.
07:15Number 43. Diner Lobster.
07:19Did you two want it yet?
07:21No.
07:22Did you two carve gang signs into the baby changing station?
07:25Yeah.
07:26Alright, what do you want to eat?
07:27When John Mulaney hosted SNL, he starred in this wonderful idea about a questionable dish.
07:33Pete Davidson's character orders the Diner Lobster, and draws some strong reactions.
07:38After the customer doubles down, the restaurant decides to start a tribute to Les Misérables.
07:43Alright everyone, the time has come.
07:46We've got an order here for one lobster.
07:48It's an incredible number that's so unexpected, over-the-top, and funny.
07:56Davidson cannot help but laugh at the sight of everything.
07:59To be fair, we are all him watching this unfold.
08:02The actor cannot hold back his reaction as pure joy washes over his face.
08:07With that kind of infectious happiness, the sketch only builds from there.
08:10I thought that there was an unspoken rule.
08:15That lobster in a diner's never cool.
08:19Number 42. Apple Picking Ad.
08:21Ah, hello. I'm Deborah Chickum.
08:24If you've ever been apple picking, you'll likely appreciate this sketch.
08:29Kate McKinnon and Aidy Bryant play sisters that run an orchard that might not be so great after all.
08:34While various people talk about their experience, the seams start to burst thanks to the lead actresses.
08:39Bryant and McKinnon have such a solid chemistry that gives way to some laughter.
08:43Still not feeling picky? Listen to this satisfied customer.
08:48Even if the sketch isn't firing on all cylinders, the mistakes make it all the better.
08:53It's super entertaining to watch the pair work through the giggles.
08:56In between some comical testimonials, the comedians bring their charming energy to the scene.
09:00Number 41. Uncle Ben.
09:16Thank you all for being here.
09:18In this sketch, SNL takes a look at changes in corporate marketing.
09:22Dave Chappelle introduces a scene where executives fire mascots like Aunt Jemima.
09:26I'm sorry, but it's just not working out. We have to let you go.
09:30But I'm Aunt Jemima.
09:33The comedian plays the spokesman for Allstate, but he immediately laughs before his line.
09:38He also has to contend with his modulated voice.
09:41If we can't work, how come the Allstate guy gets to work?
09:49Chappelle giggles through his script, making for several highlights in this scar-studded sketch.
09:54His Dennis Haysbert impression isn't the only thing that causes laughter.
09:58When Pete Davidson shows up as Count Chocula, the host takes another opportunity to let loose.
10:03Davidson spits his fake teeth out when he can't take it anymore.
10:06Needless to say, this entire sequence benefited from a few derailments.
10:10Look at Pete Davidson's lips.
10:16Number 40. The Barry Gibb Talk Show 2024 Election.
10:19In every version of this sketch, the concept seems to expand in silly ways.
10:32Jimmy Fallon goes all out as the Bee Gees' leader, while Justin Timberlake plays the sibling co-host.
10:37The singer almost breaks at a few points, but then he and his co-star have to introduce Dakota Johnson's character.
10:43The sketch involves so many intricate bits and musical numbers that you cannot believe it works at all.
10:55Just short of complete disaster, Timberlake giggles through the lyrics before Johnson breaks as well.
11:00Fallon stays laser-focused while his scene partners hang on for dear life.
11:04Number 39. Weekend Update Smokery Farms.
11:14Here to comment are the owners of Smokery Farms' meat gift delivery service,
11:18Venetta and Wylene Starkey.
11:22For this Weekend Update segment,
11:24Aidy Bryant and Kate McKinnon once again show off their chemistry.
11:27They play two cousins selling a collection of meats.
11:29With a prop alongside them, the performers try not to inhale the stench.
11:34It's clear they're fighting the strong smell in between funny setups.
11:38Noticing that his co-stars are flailing,
11:40Colin Jost laughs along as the basket becomes a centerpiece.
11:43Look at all that.
11:44Oh, wow.
11:45Look at that gorgeous little stinking basket.
11:50Bryant and McKinnon are like two kids chuckling through their school project.
11:54Jost then tries to avoid the meat altogether.
11:56Using their best southern accents,
11:59the comedians bulldoze through the script as best they can.
12:02You like meat, Colin?
12:04Colin?
12:05You a big meat boy, Colin?
12:11Number 38.
12:13Chris Farley as Bennett Brower.
12:14Tonight Weekend Update is happy to welcome back with another commentary,
12:18Bennett Brower.
12:19Bennett, what do you got going?
12:20How are you, Kevin?
12:22Good to see you.
12:22Known for his physical roles,
12:24Chris Farley is among the best SNL performers that could make anything funny.
12:28This premise lets him use his hands and do excessive air quotes.
12:32Farley eventually receives a boost, with wires hoisting him into the air.
12:36The sketch takes a detour as the performer gets stuck.
12:39I'm flying.
12:40I'm flying.
12:42I'm flying.
12:43Holy shnikes.
12:45With crew members shuffling around,
12:48Weekend Update host Kevin Nealon steps in to help.
12:50The lead comedian takes the moment in stride and makes a few jokes at his own expense.
12:55As Nealon laughs through the mishap,
12:57his co-star eventually soars into the air in a triumphant save.
13:00Hey, Elena!
13:03Thank you, Kevin!
13:05Thank you!
13:07Number 37.
13:08Birthday Party
13:09Wee-hoo!
13:09Wee-hoo!
13:11Party police, you girls are under arrest for having too much fun.
13:15As friends gather together, Ryan Gosling plays the dad.
13:19He quickly runs into a foil played by Aidy Bryant.
13:22Um, I can actually answer that because I'm 13 and a half.
13:26I'm so old now that my mom lets me shower all by myself.
13:30The latter plays a girl that's obsessed,
13:33making this party more than a little awkward.
13:35Bryant is great here with her line deliveries and interplay with the host.
13:39Gosling plays against his co-star's wild character,
13:42but he can only put up with so much.
13:44Oh, it's a daisy.
13:45I got a little, got a little cream here on my finger.
13:48Oh, that's okay.
13:49I can take care of that, Mr. Dilham.
13:51Morgan!
13:51No, wait!
13:52Morgan!
13:53Morgan!
13:53Morgan!
13:54He eventually breaks after a quick line from the comedian.
13:57Considering all of the hyperactivity,
13:59you wonder how he didn't break right away.
14:02The Barbie star is known for breaking on SNL,
14:05and this sketch helps him continue that tradition.
14:07When I first taught you how to swim.
14:09Oh, yeah, I freaking worked.
14:16Number 36.
14:18Pepper Boy.
14:18Come here, come here.
14:19You see what I do that time with the pepper?
14:20You see what I do with the pepper?
14:21Yes, señor Marco.
14:22When Dana Carvey returned to host,
14:24he showed that he still had his sketch comedy skills.
14:27He becomes a waiter alongside Adam Sandler.
14:29In this Italian restaurant, pepper is king.
14:32The two performers also have to utilize some outrageous accents.
14:36Going from table to table,
14:38the employees ramp up their antics with each passing customer.
14:41Let's get back over here.
14:42Remember to say away.
14:43Let's get behind here.
14:45Get more of the pepper, huh?
14:47You like it out, huh?
14:48You like it out, huh?
14:49Sandler then has to endure the wrath of Chris Farley and his fake beard.
14:53Hiding his reaction,
14:54the performer probably wants to laugh.
14:57His sudden movement is subtle compared to his co-star's loud performance.
15:00Looking back,
15:01any of them could have broken at any point before that,
15:04given all the craziness.
15:05What if she did it?
15:07Why?
15:08Yes!
15:09Say when.
15:14What I don't have in that.
15:16Why?
15:17Number 35.
15:19Royal Family Doctor.
15:20When one has an audience with the royal...
15:23With their British accents on full blast,
15:26Bill Hader and Martin Short deliver some inspiring performances.
15:29Hader plays the straight man opposite Short's zanier character.
15:32The former plays an OB-GYN,
15:35while the latter tries to explain how to deal with royalty.
15:37This leads to some hilariously awkward roles and the older comedian's acting.
15:42I'm sorry,
15:43must we call it the royal...
15:44Well,
15:45the only other acceptable terms that I know of is the governess.
15:49The younger cast member has more than a few moments where he needs to pause.
15:53Playing a stern doctor,
15:55the Barry star needs to cover his mouth to survive his scene partner.
15:58The startling and bold choices from the Three Amigos actor could break even the most serious person.
16:04It's...
16:04Number 34.
16:13The Sensitive Drill Sergeant.
16:15What in the hell's name is going on here?
16:16This ain't no garden party.
16:18You're lucky I don't take your pukes out in the middle of the base
16:21and stomp your asses into the ground.
16:22Do you understand me?
16:23Yes, sir!
16:24You've seen this kind of setup before.
16:26The drill sergeant intimidates his trainees with relentless insults.
16:29For the SNL version, Will Ferrell plays the military leader that's working through his emotions.
16:34He also makes his presence known by ignoring personal space.
16:38Ferrell's character focuses on David Spade's cadet, using his hat to hammer the point home.
16:43Regardless of my sexual orientation, sir, I believe I can show you how communication can help a relationship.
16:50This causes the host to break as he endures his co-star.
16:53Spade might be a Saturday Night Live veteran, but even the most experienced players would have a tough time here.
16:59The entertaining scene builds to a funny crescendo as the hat brim becomes a comedic weapon.
17:05And just how do you propose to do this, private candy ass?
17:09By making an honest connection.
17:11Number 33. Cut for Time. Gus Chiggins' Old Prospector.
17:15Old Prospector.
17:17Yes?
17:19I never, uh, did get your name.
17:23Gus Chiggins.
17:25Not every sketch makes it to the live show, but some live on as a legend.
17:29Thankfully for audiences, this sketch survives online.
17:33Will Ferrell's character is so ridiculous that he tears through most of the cast.
17:37The soldiers don't understand why an old prospector might be joining them on a mission.
17:41The group gets separated. Where's the rendezvous point?
17:43Oh!
17:46That's easy.
17:47Top of old boot hell.
17:49Just follow the dry creek bed.
17:51As Jimmy Fallon and company try to say their lines, they fumble through as Ferrell digs into the role and accent.
17:59The ensemble is in stitches before too long.
18:02As a completely random idea, this weird sketch gives the actors and audiences plenty to laugh about.
18:07I'm just afraid that with all of his pots and pans banging around, the old prospector's going to compromise that.
18:13Why don't you just worry about yourself and leave the prospect getting up to old Gus Chiggins?
18:18Number 32. Zagats with Hank and Beverly Gelfand.
18:22Anniversary.
18:23Hello and welcome to Zagats.
18:26I'm Bev Gelfand and this is my husband Hank.
18:29It's a simple setup that puts two friends together in costume.
18:32Chris Farley and Adam Sandler play a married couple, looking through a guidebook for their anniversary.
18:36The husband can barely take it as the wife rambles on about restaurants.
18:41Farley moves close to Sandler, using his best expressions to badger his co-star.
18:45Oh, hear that, hey?
18:54He eventually wins as the happy Gilmore actor cracks.
18:57One performer moves in closer and the other one recoils, with the scene already hanging by a thread.
19:03It ultimately looks as if they're both trying to break each other.
19:05When Sandler tears up the book, he looks into his scene partner's eyes and creates another fun slip-up.
19:11Number 31. Dr. Beeman's Office. Test Results.
19:24No, there's no Mark here.
19:27My name?
19:29It's Mark.
19:31No, I spell it with a C.
19:33Who put you up to this?
19:35This sketch might defy all kinds of rules, logic, and comedy standards.
19:40That doesn't stop all involved from doing their best.
19:42Will Ferrell plays the odd and aggressive Dr. Beeman, taking phone calls and leaving the couple in suspense.
19:48He then brings in a distraction in the form of a dancing medical expert.
19:52In the end, the routine forces Ferrell to mask his reaction.
19:55But, I can't do the robot.
20:02That'll be $5,000.
20:04Good day to you both.
20:07What the hell was that?
20:09He and Molly Shannon cannot stay in character following all of the weird gags.
20:13You can feel the writers and actors grasping at straws, making for this mix of comedic gold and desperation.
20:19There's almost no way this sketch was ever gonna go as planned.
20:22The truth is, we misplaced your baby.
20:32Number 30.
20:34Gift Wrap
20:34Oh yeah, she's gonna have the best Christmas of her flip in life.
20:39I hope so.
20:40She's pretty special.
20:41Oh, I know she will, sir.
20:44That is my Christmas guarantee.
20:46Oh, ow.
20:48Oh, sugar, are you okay?
20:49Mmm, yeah, just a, just a little paper cut.
20:53This might not be the first SNL sketch with lots of blood, but few ever go this wrong.
20:58James Franco's gift wrapper cuts his finger and unleashes a geyser.
21:02Leslie Jones is right in the splash zone, with some of the fake blood getting into her mouth.
21:06The actress is clearly struggling as she tries to compose herself.
21:10It might be funny for a second, but it's also really gross when you put yourself in her shoes.
21:13Good Lord!
21:15What is happening?
21:17You Christmas dreams are coming true, that's what.
21:20Let me find my special choo-choo paper.
21:24Now, you know what?
21:25I think we good, man.
21:27Kenan Thompson looks concerned as he stands next to his scene partner.
21:31While Jones tries not to be sick, Franco breaks after a gag with a fake foot.
21:35She might even deserve an award for hanging in there.
21:38That's what, a foot, that's what she said!
21:43Number 29, Beavis and Butthead.
21:46Host Ryan Gosling certainly likes to break, or at least he can't seem to help it.
21:50Look, they even sitting like they do on the show.
21:53You two really don't know that you look like Beavis and Butthead.
21:59This translates to yet another modern classic from the evil geniuses at SNL.
22:04The show puts Gosling and Mikey Day in makeup as the cartoon characters Beavis and Butthead.
22:08This sends Heidi Gardner into a laughing fit before some of her co-stars follow suit.
22:13The host also loses it, with the sketch taking a few pauses so performers can collect themselves.
22:25We don't blame any of them for giggling considering the script or the prosthetics.
22:29In the future, we hope this absurd idea comes back to crack up more people like Chloe Fineman.
22:34I don't know this gentleman.
22:36You don't know each other?
22:37No, no, um, hi, I'm Dean.
22:43Yeah, nice to meet you.
22:44Nice to meet you too.
22:45Number 28, Maine Justice with Jamie Foxx.
22:48I'll tell you, see right here, right now, okay?
22:51Alright, here we go, I'm about to serve up a heaping spoonful of Maine Justice, you know?
22:56Considering the circumstances, this sketch wasn't going to play out any other way.
23:00Jason Sudeikis plays a judge in Maine with a southern accent.
23:03It's already crazy before the trial gets going, confusing audiences with its funny details.
23:08Okay, alright, alright, alright, okay, okay, order my courtroom, order my...
23:12Y'all shoot your butts.
23:15Yes, right.
23:16Sudeikis' character then issues a punishment for Bobby Moynihan that breaks Jamie Foxx's
23:21Bailiff.
23:21With the lead performer adding in a kiss, he forces Foxx to hide his face.
23:25The entire script feels like a fever dream that only gets better with these interactions.
23:42While we might have more questions than answers, we can't help but laugh as the breaking enhances
23:47the scene.
23:48With how things went the first time around, you'd think that SNL learned their lesson.
24:02And I'm holed on board with my bush and my tush hanging on it.
24:07I see my old pals, the gray aliens with the big stupid fat eyes, and I'm hit with the realization,
24:14first time I've been on a second date since 2009.
24:17The sequel to Close Encounter brings back Ryan Gosling for even more antics.
24:22It also keeps him laughing throughout the increasingly strange alien stories.
24:26It's a fantastic source of comedy, guaranteeing big reactions from the host as he deals with
24:30Kate McKinnon's character.
24:31We were led down a passageway of light, cradled by what felt like a big...
24:37...fuzzy mitten.
24:40It almost felt like I was, uh, like God himself.
24:44You know, it was playing with my hair.
24:45There's also a more in-depth demonstration this time around.
24:48While handling her co-star, Kate McKinnon does wonders to break the Barbie actor into pieces.
24:54Gosling's giggles are definitely contagious, as this chaotic follow-up earns its place alongside
24:59the original.
24:59Thanks, Todd.
25:01You can sit down.
25:04Number 26, Benihana.
25:08It's a pleasure to join you both.
25:10My name is Adam Grossman.
25:11I'm six years young.
25:13And this is my very lovely and very single nanny, Miss Lily.
25:18In another take on this sketch, Jonah Hill's Adam Grossman is a precocious six-year-old.
25:22Leslie Jones plays his nanny, Miss Lily, and tries to keep it together through all of the jokes.
25:27Hill's role also lets him sing, using reggae tunes to break Jones.
25:31I shot the sheriff, but me do not shoot the death.
25:38He had given me nothing here.
25:39It feels like pulling teeth without a string.
25:42The sudden burst into song makes it harder for the Superbad star to keep a straight face, too.
25:46Both performers enjoy themselves through this scene, earning even more laughs from the audience.
25:51The pair becomes a great comedic team here, even after tripping each other up.
25:55If you love Bob Marley, you'll probably get a kick out of this one.
25:59Okay, Adam, let's just let the nice men enjoy their dinner, okay?
26:03One love!
26:06One love!
26:07I'm kidding!
26:08Only one love's on your engagement!
26:10Number 25, New Girlfriend.
26:13Fred Armisen plays this role with both dedication and chaos.
26:17The inclusion of Jason Sudeikis only makes things funnier,
26:20with the two playing people that derail a party.
26:22It's so nice to meet you.
26:24Oh, really? It's nice of who to meet me.
26:26And what do you mean by it's?
26:29Isn't she beautiful, gang?
26:31Armisen's abrasive guest stretches out, puts her foot in guacamole,
26:35and tests the other's patience.
26:37Is she okay?
26:38Oh, yeah, she's okay.
26:40She's more than okay.
26:41No, her body is like a heart that not only I know how to play,
26:46and only my touch is what she responds to.
26:48Oh, yeah, there it is.
26:50It also causes the former cast member to drop his act.
26:53Not only that, the likes of Vanessa Bayer can't contain herself at one point.
26:57Is there any more food?
27:00I need to get something down my throat to fight what is coming up.
27:04Yeah, you're good.
27:05The sketch itself is hilarious, and these moments heighten the experience even more.
27:15By the end, Aidy Bryant also breaks as the ensemble and props are pushed to the limit.
27:20If you pair up Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader, you'll make any sketch better.
27:37This scene also shows that the two can break like the best of them.
27:41Both performers play interviewers,
27:43asking all kinds of awkward and invasive questions to Scarlett Johansson.
27:46This culminates with a slushy drink gag that might shock you.
27:50Wiig knows it's coming and still struggles through her lines,
27:53with Hader completely broken next to her.
27:58I just don't watch a lot of reality television, so...
28:02Even Johansson can't keep a straight face in a reaction shot.
28:11There's a fair chance that anybody would laugh under the same conditions.
28:14Despite all these setbacks,
28:16this sketch remains one of the funniest of its era.
28:18You have great skin.
28:26What's your secret?
28:29Number 23.
28:30Lisa from Temecula
28:31Let's not forget her baby sister Lisa,
28:34who flew all the way from Temecula to celebrate with us.
28:38Lisa, we've heard so much about you.
28:39It's so nice to finally meet you.
28:41Mm-hmm.
28:42That's cute.
28:43But don't think I'm giving up the butt tonight.
28:44With her dedicated performance,
28:46Ego Wodum sets off a chain reaction that nobody can recover from.
28:50Her character cuts into a well-done steak
28:52and starts to shake the table.
28:54Host Pedro Pascal can't keep a straight face,
28:56cracking up as he tries to deliver his lines.
28:58This dog followed me home.
29:00I'm about to tear this thing up.
29:03When I opened the door,
29:08he just...
29:08He just brings it inside.
29:13He isn't the only one desperate to stay focused either.
29:18Wodum pushes through in an outrageous sketch,
29:21leading to some more funny reactions.
29:23Even Bowen Yang can't control himself,
29:25falling apart as the scene builds to an entertaining climax.
29:28Hey, everyone.
29:29Just want to check in on you.
29:30Is everything going all right?
29:30We've been getting some complaints.
29:32Oh, because we black?
29:35Through it all,
29:37the cast looks like they're genuinely having fun.
29:39We over here minding our business.
29:41I'm just making sure everything's okay.
29:44Actually,
29:45everything is not okay.
29:49Number 22,
29:50The Barry Gibb Talk Show,
29:52BG Singers.
29:52Tonight, Barry's guests are...
29:54...an old room full of strangers.
29:58Former California recall candidate,
30:00Ariana Huffington.
30:01Disgusting politics.
30:04Lieutenant Governor,
30:04Cruz Booster-Modell.
30:05And the issues of the day.
30:07In many versions of this sketch,
30:11Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake
30:13have carried on a musical tradition.
30:15They play Barry and Robin Gibb
30:16in this ridiculous talk show.
30:18Fallon takes over with his lively accent,
30:20sending his collaborator for a loop.
30:22Robin, do you have anything to add?
30:26No.
30:28No, I don't.
30:29Nothing at all.
30:30The Gibb brothers have never seemed
30:38so dysfunctional or hilarious.
30:40Timberlake cracks under the pressure,
30:42unable to stay in character
30:43as his co-star flies off the handle.
30:46The host understandably breaks
30:47after listening to his scene partner's falsettos.
30:49With the singer trying to keep up,
30:51this bizarre premise gets both the guest performer
30:53and audience chuckling.
30:54Clogging up, crazy cold medallions.
30:57Togging it up.
31:00Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ta-ta.
31:02No.
31:0221.
31:03The Californians.
31:04Stewart has cancer.
31:06Any time this recurring sketch shows up,
31:08you know you're in for a good time.
31:10Maybe you should get going
31:11before Stewart gets home.
31:12It's all right.
31:13I'll say you're gonna take
31:14Canyon View Driver to San Vicente
31:15and then make a left
31:17and get them four or five north.
31:18From there,
31:19just get off them all hauling.
31:21I totally like that.
31:22This scene lets the cast poke fun
31:26at soap operas
31:26and Southern California in general.
31:29When Fred Armisen's character
31:30Stewart shows up,
31:31the sketch starts to break down
31:32in funny ways.
31:34Bill Hader tries to keep a straight face,
31:35but he's no match
31:36for Armisen's expressive voice.
31:38There's nothing going on, Stewart.
31:40You should go home.
31:42Get back on San Vicente,
31:44take a 10 to 10,
31:45then switch over to the 405 north
31:48and let it dump you out
31:48into Mulholland where you belong.
31:52You can see Hader hanging on
31:56for dear life
31:57as his co-stars keep pushing forward.
31:59Even the best SNL performers
32:01lose control,
32:02with Kristen Wiig
32:03almost cracking up
32:04during a later moment.
32:05Everyone manages to finish strong
32:06as the dramatic revelations
32:08and directions keep going.
32:09When you see the Zanko chicken
32:11on the left and right,
32:12take Venice
32:13and follow it all the way down.
32:15Then you're in Marina del Rai.
32:19Queen?
32:21How do you know so much
32:22about Marina del Rai?
32:24In 2018,
32:30Bill Hader hosted
32:31Saturday Night Live
32:32for the second time
32:33since leaving the show
32:34five years earlier
32:35and he left everyone,
32:37including his co-stars,
32:38in stitches.
32:39In this sketch,
32:40Hader plays Horace,
32:41the elderly husband
32:42to SNL regular
32:43Cecily Strong,
32:44who's attending
32:45a game night
32:46with her girlfriends.
32:46It's here.
32:48Let's go.
32:49It's revealed that Horace
32:51has just popped to see Alice,
32:52causing Strong to hop on his lap
32:54as the pill only lasts
32:55a couple of minutes.
32:57Hader proceeds to use
32:58his vehicular prop
32:59to great comedic effect,
33:00ultimately causing
33:01everyone involved
33:02to break character.
33:12Hader later discussed
33:13the scene on Late Night
33:14with Seth Meyers
33:15and once again
33:16struggled to contain
33:17his laughter.
33:18You should be ashamed
33:19of yourselves.
33:20You should be ashamed
33:21of yourselves.
33:24Number 19.
33:25Stefan and Shy.
33:27The brainchild
33:28of Bill Hader
33:28and John Mulaney,
33:30Stefan was introduced
33:30in 2008
33:31and quickly became
33:33a fan favorite.
33:34New York's hottest
33:35club is Pants.
33:40The world said goodbye
33:42to the Weekend Update
33:43correspondent,
33:44whose knowledge
33:44of New York City's
33:45most bizarre hotspots
33:46was both hilarious
33:47and unparalleled
33:48in 2013.
33:50But since then,
33:51Stefan has still found time
33:52to make a guest appearance
33:53or two.
33:53Do people still use
33:55the word?
33:55My girlfriend.
33:58Thank you, Shy.
34:02In 2018,
34:05Stefan resurfaced
34:06along with his lawyer,
34:07Shy, played by Mulaney,
34:09and wasted no time
34:10getting everyone
34:10to crack up,
34:11including Hader
34:12and update hosts
34:13Colin Jost
34:14and Michael Che.
34:15Hader laughs
34:16throughout the entire sketch,
34:18leading us to believe
34:18he was reading the script
34:19for the first time.
34:20How else do you explain it?
34:22And he whispered
34:23in my ear
34:23to make me laugh.
34:24He said,
34:25my girlfriend.
34:28Because my girlfriend
34:29works at
34:30Yoshinoa Beef Bowl.
34:32Number 18.
34:33Simon's Dreidel
34:34backed with Minora
34:35in the window.
34:36These two iconic characters
34:38have made numerous
34:39appearances over the years.
34:40Hey.
34:42Hi.
34:42Hello.
34:44Hi.
34:44Everything okay, guys?
34:46Now we just, um,
34:47played to perfection
34:48by Fred Armisen
34:49and Kristen Wiig,
34:50Garth and Kat
34:51are a songwriting team
34:52that just can't find time
34:54to rehearse their songs.
34:55Mountains.
34:56The mountains.
34:58The mountains.
34:59The mountains.
35:01The mountains.
35:03The mountains.
35:03In fact,
35:04to get into character,
35:05Wiig and Armisen
35:06never rehearsed
35:06their performances,
35:08something Wiig called,
35:09quote,
35:09freeing and fun.
35:11Perhaps that's why
35:12both actors regularly
35:13burst into fits of laughter
35:14during sketches,
35:15as neither knew
35:16what to expect from the other.
35:17Watching Wiig try and keep up
35:18as Armisen just wings
35:19a performance
35:20is truly amazing.
35:22It's no wonder
35:22they couldn't keep it together.
35:24Who knows?
35:29Number 17.
35:30Fernando's Hideaway
35:31with Hulk Hogan
35:32and Mr. T.
35:33A recurring sketch
35:34from the 80s era of SNL
35:36involved Billy Crystal
35:37parodying Argentinian actor
35:38Fernando Lamas
35:39in a sketch called
35:40Fernando's Hideaway.
35:41I'm in the hideaway today
35:43with one of the biggest names
35:44in baseball.
35:45It's got 12 letters in it.
35:46I counted it myself.
35:47Crystal would slap on
35:49a thick Spanish accent
35:50and interview celebrities,
35:51often getting their names
35:53and other tidbits
35:53of personal information
35:54wrong throughout the interview.
35:56One of the most famous sketches
35:57saw Crystal
35:58interviewing wrestlers
35:59slash actors
36:00Hulk Hogan and Mr. T.
36:01Despite their attempts
36:02to keep a straight face,
36:03Hogan and Mr. T
36:04both break character
36:05near the end of the sketch
36:06after Crystal ad-libs a line
36:08about exercise equipment.
36:10I was at
36:11I was at a Hollywood party
36:13with this person or dirt,
36:14if you know what I'm saying to you.
36:16Hulk!
36:18It would appear
36:19that everyone
36:20is susceptible to breaking
36:21while in the presence
36:21of a gifted comedian
36:23like Billy Crystal.
36:23You know when you laugh,
36:25your little things
36:26that go bomb-y-bomb-y-bomb-y-bomb-y-bomb.
36:30This sketch from 2009
36:31had no shortage
36:32of top-notch comedic talent.
36:34We caught these kids
36:34drinking beers
36:35behind Pathmark.
36:37Tracy Morgan,
36:38Kenan Thompson,
36:39Jason Sudeikis,
36:40Bill Hader,
36:41Andy Samberg,
36:41and Bobby Moynihan
36:42are all featured.
36:43And when that many
36:44funny people
36:45are in a room together,
36:46things are bound
36:47to get a little silly.
36:48The sketch saw
36:54Morgan and Thompson
36:54playing convicts
36:55attempting to scare
36:56a trio of kids
36:57who are arrested
36:57for underage drinking.
36:59The only problem?
37:00They keep using
37:00the plots of popular movies
37:01to describe prison.
37:16Thompson and Hader
37:16are the worst offenders
37:17in this one,
37:18but everyone cracks
37:19at one point or another.
37:20You try making it through
37:21without letting a smile
37:22creep across your face.
37:23Cause this here is real!
37:28Featuring SNL legends
37:30Andy Samberg,
37:31Kristen Wiig,
37:32Fred Armisen,
37:33Bill Hader,
37:33Kate McKinnon,
37:34Maya Rudolph,
37:35and Taryn Killam,
37:36as well as Paul Rudd.
37:37This sketch is a blueprint
37:39for how to make
37:40A-list comedic talent
37:41break character.
37:41The Kissing Family
37:48is a recurring skit
37:49that involves an outsider
37:50being introduced
37:51to an overly affectionate family.
37:53In this instance,
37:54The Outsider is played
37:55by Killam,
37:55and he is justifiably
37:57shocked to learn
37:58that his boyfriend's family
37:59kisses each other
38:00on the lips,
38:01among other things,
38:02with zero regard
38:03for anyone else's feelings.
38:04Matt's right.
38:06Sometimes we get so caught up
38:07in loving our own family
38:08we forget about...
38:10loving...
38:11Armisen cracks first,
38:13followed by Hader,
38:14but there are fissures
38:15of laughter peppered
38:16throughout the entire sketch.
38:18With this much talent
38:19in the room,
38:20it's no wonder
38:20this sketch devolved
38:21into a full-on breakfest.
38:29Number 14.
38:31Family Feud Celebrity Edition
38:32NBC vs. CBS.
38:35As long-time friends
38:36and collaborators,
38:37it isn't exactly surprising
38:38to learn that Justin Timberlake
38:39does a mean
38:40Jimmy Fallon impression.
38:41So great!
38:42So great!
38:43Celebrity's playing games!
38:43Nothing better!
38:44So fun!
38:45Am I right, my man?
38:47He got to bust it out
38:49during a 2013 appearance
38:50on SNL
38:51during a game
38:51of Celebrity Family Feud.
38:53And guess who was also playing?
38:55Jimmy Fallon.
38:56Jimmy!
38:57Are you kidding me?
38:59That is how it's done, my man!
39:00He's so great, am I right?
39:02Fallon,
39:02who is infamous
39:03for his inability
39:04to keep it together
39:05during sketches
39:05was playing
39:06The Big Bang Theory's
39:07Jim Parsons.
39:08The two celebs
39:09went toe-to-toe
39:09right off the bat
39:10and immediately
39:11had to turn away
39:12from the camera
39:13to hide their laughter.
39:14So many great answers.
39:15So many.
39:17They're so great.
39:18So great, my man.
39:21But Steve.
39:24Later, Timberlake's impression
39:25was so accurate
39:26it caused Fallon
39:27to duck behind his podium
39:28struck by a serious case
39:30of the giggles.
39:31So great.
39:32It's classic Fallon.
39:33Number 13.
39:35Frankenstein's Monster Cracks Up
39:37The late, great Phil Hartman
39:38was a fixture
39:39on Saturday Night Live
39:40between 1986 and 1994.
39:42In that time,
39:43he portrayed a slew
39:45of iconic characters,
39:46not the least of which
39:47was his hilarious impression
39:48of Frankenstein's monster.
39:51Tonto?
39:52Bread good, Kemosabe.
39:54In this sketch,
39:55Frankenstein's monster,
39:56Tarzan, and Tonto
39:57are being asked
39:58what they think
39:58about things like fire
40:00and bread.
40:01This naturally leads
40:02to some hilarious responses
40:03from the three famously
40:04poor speakers.
40:08Fire bad!
40:09We actually have to
40:11applaud Hartman
40:12for staying in character
40:13as long as he did.
40:14However,
40:15even the best
40:16break eventually.
40:17Well, that's all the time
40:18we have.
40:18Join us next week
40:19when we'll be talking
40:20with the cavemen
40:21from Quest for Fire.
40:28For Hartman,
40:29that moment came
40:30when he was asked
40:30how he felt
40:31about a recent
40:31nuclear arms treaty.
40:33This stuff never gets old.
40:35Number 12.
40:36Donnie's Party
40:37Introduced in 1999,
40:38the Boston teens
40:40made regular appearances
40:41during the run
40:41of Jimmy Fallon
40:42and Rachel Dratch.
40:43I would be Gryffindor.
40:45You are Hufflepuff
40:46and you know it.
40:47You are.
40:50Known for their
40:51thick Boston accents
40:52and love of the Red Sox
40:53as well as for
40:54constantly bickering
40:54and making up,
40:55the characters
40:56regularly caused
40:57others to bust a gut.
40:58Bro.
41:01Bro.
41:03Bro.
41:04One of the most
41:04infamous cases
41:05involved Boston boy
41:06Ben Affleck
41:07who simply could not
41:08contain his laughter
41:09while at a party
41:09with the Boston teens.
41:11Watching him say bro
41:12over and over again
41:13while struggling
41:14to keep it together
41:14is priceless.
41:16Naturally,
41:16Fallon couldn't keep
41:17a straight face either.
41:19Number 11.
41:20Career Day.
41:21Adam Driver
41:21helped SNL
41:22kick off their 44th season
41:24with a handful
41:24of hilarious performances
41:26that all deserve
41:27their time in the spotlight.
41:28However,
41:29this list is about
41:29actors breaking character.
41:31So we'll focus
41:32on just one.
41:33Career Day.
41:35Look at your father, boy.
41:37Look upon your father
41:39with pride.
41:40I see you, man.
41:41In the sketch,
41:42Driver plays an elderly
41:43and ruthless oil baron
41:44who visits his son's
41:45class for Career Day.
41:47Now what does an oil baron do?
41:49The answer?
41:51Crush your enemies!
41:54Grind their bones
41:55into dirt!
41:56Pete Davidson plays the son
41:57and boy is he ever
41:58put through the ringer.
41:59Driver delivers
42:00a blistering performance
42:02causing Davidson
42:03to break character
42:03on multiple occasions
42:05including the first time
42:06he's addressed.
42:07I have linked you
42:09my duck chickens!
42:11I crossed you
42:12into the ground!
42:14From there,
42:14it's all downhill
42:16for the young actor
42:16as Driver never once
42:19falters in his performance.
42:20Dad, come on!
42:21Number 10.
42:22Close Encounter.
42:24It was clear
42:24from the first minute
42:25of this sketch
42:26that host Ryan Gosling
42:27was not going to make it through
42:28without breaking character.
42:29Uh, I came to
42:30and saw a beautiful being
42:32made of like a beautiful
42:33calming light.
42:35Yeah, same here.
42:36That being touched my head
42:37and I felt every emotion
42:39in its purest form.
42:41After being abducted
42:42by aliens,
42:43Kate McKinnon,
42:43Cecily Strong,
42:44and Gosling
42:45each recount their experience
42:46with the extraterrestrials.
42:47I started peeing
42:48and one of the gray aliens
42:50slapped the wall
42:51and pointed at the bowl.
42:53So I got the hint
42:54I kind of ducked
42:55walked over the bowl
42:56and peed in it.
42:56Yes, I see.
42:59However,
42:59McKinnon's version
43:00differs wildly
43:01from the other two.
43:02So much so, in fact,
43:04that Gosling
43:04was basically stifling
43:05a laugh
43:06for the entire sketch.
43:07Strong,
43:08Bobby Moynihan,
43:09and Aidy Bryant
43:09all eventually broke.
43:11And even McKinnon
43:12had to repress
43:12a laugh at one point.
43:13Number 9.
43:14Super Showcase.
43:15Kristen Wiig
43:16and Maya Rudolph
43:17took a forgettable
43:18game show sketch
43:19and elevated it
43:20to new heights
43:20with their hilarious
43:21fake European accents.
43:23Show Debra
43:23what was in her showcase.
43:25Bad news, Debra.
43:27You didn't win
43:27his and hers
43:28matching luggage
43:28by luggage guy.
43:30It's not luggage guy luggage.
43:31It's just a bunch
43:32of luggage from someplace.
43:33The two SNL alumni
43:34play off each other
43:35beautifully.
43:36Though that means
43:37as soon as one
43:38breaks character,
43:39the other isn't far behind.
43:43You love ghosts.
43:44You love an X-Prize.
43:45You didn't win.
43:46Things start to spiral
43:47out of control
43:48when the two women
43:48roll up in a golf cart.
43:50While Wiig
43:50immediately catches
43:51a case of the giggles,
43:53Rudolph manages
43:53to stay in character
43:54a little longer.
43:55You'll be a rough
43:56swagger with this.
43:57Let's look at us
43:58matching golf carts
43:59by golf cart.
44:01For...
44:02Unfortunately,
44:07the same cannot be said
44:08for Bill Hader
44:09who has to hide
44:10behind his hands
44:11to contain his laughter.
44:12The whole thing
44:13culminates with
44:14a still laughing Wiig
44:15crashing through the set
44:16in a golf cart.
44:16Seriously?
44:18How do they come up
44:18with this stuff?
44:19It's always time
44:20for all the breakfast!
44:25Number 8.
44:27Lava's in the hot tub.
44:28Surprise, surprise.
44:30A sketch featuring
44:31Will Ferrell and Jimmy Fallon
44:32ended in multiple
44:33people breaking character.
44:34Barbara, what brings you
44:36to the prestigious
44:37well-grey arms?
44:39The usual
44:40quiet strolls,
44:41family-style dining archery.
44:44This iconic bit
44:45saw Ferrell and Rachel Dratch
44:46playing overly
44:47affectionate lovers
44:48soaking in a hot tub
44:49and trying to play
44:50matchmaker to Fallon
44:51and host Drew Barrymore.
44:52Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, David.
45:00Well, as you can probably
45:02glean from Ferrell's
45:03ridiculous costume,
45:04it didn't take long
45:05before everybody
45:05was on the verge
45:06of a full-on meltdown.
45:07Barbara Hernandez
45:09is the top female archer
45:13in the Northeast Division.
45:16That's unbelievable.
45:18Tack on the fact
45:19that Ferrell later admitted
45:20that the goal was to
45:21quote,
45:21make Jimmy Fallon laugh
45:22and you have the recipe
45:23for a sketch that's
45:24guaranteed to have
45:25multiple broken characters.
45:27Need more proof
45:28that Ferrell is a
45:28character-breaking machine?
45:30Check out his
45:30short shorts for the USA clip.
45:32You are welcome.
45:34I guess what it all
45:35comes down to
45:36is that the angle
45:38of my dangle
45:39is inversely proportional
45:42to the heat of my meat,
45:43right?
45:45Number 7.
45:47Right to Extreme Stupidity
45:48In this iconic sketch,
45:51SNL legend Gilda Radner
45:52and host Candace Bergen
45:53prove that breaking character
45:55is as easy as flubbing
45:56a single line of dialogue.
45:58You're not too bright,
45:59are you, Fern?
46:00I mean,
46:02whatever your name was.
46:05The slip-up occurs
46:06when Bergen accidentally
46:07refers to Radner as Fern,
46:09which is actually
46:10the name of Bergen's character.
46:11While Bergen attempts
46:12to rectify her mistake,
46:14Radner uses her trademark wit
46:15to destroy her,
46:17quipping,
46:18We all can't be brainy
46:19like Fern here.
46:22At this point,
46:23all pretense of finishing
46:25the sketches planned
46:25has gone out the window,
46:27as both women
46:28are dying of laughter.
46:29Extremely stupid people
46:31are discriminated
46:32against all the time.
46:34And I should know,
46:35and so should Fern,
46:36because we are.
46:38It's moments like this
46:40that make SNL
46:40so much fun to watch.
46:42Number 6.
46:43Happiest Place on Earth?
46:45Debbie Downer
46:45is one of the funniest characters
46:47in SNL's prestigious repertoire.
46:49Brilliantly brought to life
46:50by Rachel Dratch,
46:51Debbie can instantly transform
46:53any situation
46:53into a total bummer,
46:55for the other characters,
46:56that is.
46:56Roy of Siegfried and Roy?
46:59He was attacked
47:00by his own tiger
47:01and suffered
47:01devastating injuries.
47:05As far as the audience,
47:11cast members,
47:11and viewers at home
47:12are concerned,
47:13she is a riot.
47:14One of her most famous
47:15appearances occurred
47:16at Disney World,
47:17where she somehow managed
47:18to ruin the happiest place
47:19on Earth
47:20with her depressing anecdotes.
47:22While Fallon breaks first,
47:23shocker,
47:24Dratch is not far behind.
47:26I can't have children!
47:31This inevitably caused
47:32the whole table to crack up.
47:34Horatio Sands cries,
47:35and Lindsay Lohan
47:36bangs the table
47:37in a fit of laughter.
47:38All the while,
47:39Dratch can barely
47:40keep it together.
47:41Number 5.
47:43Cork Soakers.
47:44In this hilarious sketch
47:45from 2004,
47:46host slash musical guest
47:48Janet Jackson
47:48visits a winery
47:49and learns how to
47:50soak corks
47:51from a group
47:52of Italian winemakers.
47:54The scene is littered
47:55with double entendres
47:56meant to have viewers
47:57in stitches.
47:58As you can see,
47:59we are soaking
47:59all the corks
48:00in this room right now.
48:02These three guys right here
48:03are some of the most
48:04talented cork soakers.
48:05However,
48:06as the writers
48:06probably assumed
48:07when they penned
48:08this side-splittingly
48:09funny sketch,
48:10it was the actors
48:11who were laughing
48:11harder than anyone.
48:13So how did you
48:14learn to soak corks?
48:18Soak corks.
48:19With giggles emanating
48:20from all corners
48:21of the set,
48:22Jackson can barely
48:23get her lines out
48:24and honestly,
48:25we feel for her.
48:26So does your wife
48:27like soaking...
48:28Soaking corks?
48:32Well,
48:33she used to
48:33when we were dating.
48:34Now,
48:34not so much.
48:35However,
48:36the biggest surprise
48:37was that perpetual
48:38character breaker
48:39Jimmy Fallon
48:40stayed composed
48:40throughout the entire sketch.
48:41Number 4.
48:43I live in a van
48:44down by the river.
48:45Few comedians
48:46are as revered
48:47as the late,
48:48great Chris Farley.
48:50He could make anyone
48:51break with his unique
48:51brand of physical humor
48:52and often did.
48:54I am 35 years old,
48:57I am divorced,
48:59and I live
49:00in a van
49:01down by the river.
49:04While he has
49:04a slew of iconic
49:05SNL characters,
49:06you'd be hard-pressed
49:07to put any of them
49:08above Matt Foley,
49:09motivational speaker.
49:11Brian,
49:12from what I've heard,
49:14you're using your paper
49:15not for writing,
49:17but for rolling doobies.
49:20In the character's
49:21first Saturday Night Live
49:22appearance,
49:23Farley managed to break
49:24host Christina Applegate
49:25and SNL regular
49:26David Spade
49:27in seconds
49:27with his over-the-top
49:28performance,
49:29which included
49:30hoisting Spade
49:31into the air
49:31and warning the teens
49:33about ending up like him.
49:34He broke everyone else
49:36the moment he screamed
49:37I'm sick and tired
49:38of living
49:38in a van
49:39down by the river!
49:42Number 3.
49:43Jefferies.
49:43In this 2001 sketch,
49:45host Sean Hayes
49:46joined Jimmy Fallon
49:47and Will Ferrell
49:47in their Jefferies sketch,
49:49which sees the three men
49:50playing retail workers
49:51at a high-end clothing store.
49:53Yeah, look,
49:53we don't carry diesel.
49:54We work at Jefferies.
49:56We read Italian Vogue.
49:57It's our deal.
49:58The gag involves
49:59them being extremely rude
50:00and condescending
50:01to customers
50:01who they deem unstylish.
50:03True to form,
50:04Fallon is laughing
50:05before the skit
50:06even begins.
50:07This is a genuine
50:08Looney Tunes jacket.
50:16Hayes breaks
50:17shortly thereafter
50:18and for the rest
50:19of the sketch,
50:19the two men
50:20can barely contain
50:21their laughter
50:21for more than a few seconds.
50:23Once Will Ferrell
50:24appears on a motorized
50:25wheelchair,
50:26this sketch
50:26is over and done with.
50:28We're going
50:28to the Dolce & Gabbana show.
50:30How fast can you
50:31have your bags packed
50:32for Mirage?
50:35I've got my
50:37Jack Speedband
50:38packed already.
50:39Oddly enough,
50:40this isn't the first time
50:41a clothing-based sketch
50:42involving Horatio Sands
50:43and Jimmy Fallon
50:44devolved into
50:44one giant character break session.
50:46We give you
50:47The Leatherman.
50:48Always treat
50:49the customers
50:50with...
50:51Makes no sense, really.
50:58Featuring vets
50:59like Will Ferrell,
51:00Jimmy Fallon,
51:01Chris Kattan,
51:02Chris Parnell,
51:02and Horatio Sands,
51:04not to mention
51:04the indomitable
51:05Christopher Walken,
51:06More Cowbell
51:07is the stuff
51:07of sketch comedy legend
51:09and was so
51:10the second
51:11it began to air.
51:11Are you sure
51:12that was sounding okay?
51:13I'll be honest, fellas,
51:14it was sounding great,
51:15but I could've used
51:17a little more cowbell.
51:21The cast plays
51:22Blue Oyster Cult,
51:23while guest Walken
51:24portrays record producer
51:25Bruce Dickinson,
51:26a man who has a fever
51:27for more cowbell.
51:29Watching Ferrell
51:29gesticulate all over
51:30the room in a shirt
51:31that is way, way,
51:32way too small
51:33is absolutely
51:34side-splitting.
51:35And I'd be doing
51:36myself a disservice
51:38and every member
51:39of this band
51:40if I didn't perform
51:40the hell out of this!
51:42Walken breaks,
51:43Kattan breaks,
51:44Sands breaks,
51:45Fallon breaks,
51:46even Ferrell breaks.
51:47In the pantheon
51:48of SNL's worst
51:49or best character breaks,
51:50this one takes the cake,
51:52or as the case may be,
51:53the cowbell.

52:10Number 1.
52:11Stefan on Halloween
52:13You all knew
52:14Stefan would be back
52:15at number 1.
52:16In this all-time moment,
52:18fan-favorite Stefan
52:18stops by Weekend Update
52:20to advise partygoers
52:21on where to find
52:22some not-so-family fun
52:23on Halloween.
52:25Located in an abandoned
52:26white fish factory
52:27in Little Israel.
52:29Bill Hader
52:30breaks character
52:30numerous times,
52:32something he'd replicate
52:33in an autumn-themed appearance
52:34a couple of years later.
52:35Needless to say,
52:36this place has everything.
52:38Skunks,
52:38K-Fobs,
52:40Cookie Crisp,
52:41Dan Cortez.
52:44As one YouTube commenter
52:46points out,
52:46it makes you wonder
52:47whether Hader developed
52:48Stefan's signature
52:49hand-over-mouth quirk
52:50as a way to hide
52:51his constant giggling.
52:53Well, they have
52:54a Jewish Dracula.
52:55Oh, what's his name?
52:57Sidney Applebaum.
52:58Oh, my God.
52:58Throughout the clip,
53:02Hader finds himself
53:03unable to speak,
53:04overcome by laughter.
53:06And while Seth Meyers
53:07does his best
53:07to remain composed,
53:08he is far from invincible
53:10when it comes
53:10to keeping a straight face.
53:11You know you've come up
53:12with comedic gold
53:13when Hader is crying
53:14tears of laughter.
53:16Enjoy, folks.
53:17Did we forget
53:18another funny break
