00:00She was saying to herself, come on Eileen, they've seen it a hundred times.
00:05Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:07And today, we're counting down our picks for the most hilarious SNL moments
00:10where Ryan Gosling lost his composure and made the sketch all the better for it.
00:14I don't watch much television, I have an incredibly busy life.
00:19Yeah, I'm very busy.
00:23Number 20, Santa Baby.
00:25In this pre-taped holiday sketch, Doug and Gina, played by Ryan Gosling and Vanessa Bayer,
00:30derail a neighborhood Christmas party by demanding to meet the real Santa.
00:34What?
00:37He's upstairs?
00:38He's here.
00:41We'd very much like to meet him.
00:43The joke escalates into deeply uncomfortable PDA
00:46as the couple aggressively makes out in front of stunned guests.
00:49Even though this sketch isn't live, Gosling visibly cracks during the prolonged kissing bits.
00:55He's here, baby.
00:56I love you so much.
00:57And he's here, baby.
00:58He's gonna get to meet him, baby.
01:00I love you so much, baby.
01:02Yeah, you mean Santa, baby.
01:04You can see him fighting a grin while Bayer fully commits to the absurd sensuality of it all.
01:09His shoulders tense, and he briefly pulls away looking like he's about to laugh.
01:14The restraint makes it funnier, especially knowing multiple takes probably didn't help.
01:18I love you.
01:19I love you so much, baby.
01:23Well, happy holidays, everybody.
01:25I think I'll beat the traffic.
01:26Number 19.
01:28Barbenheimer Opening Monologue.
01:30During his third hosting gig, Gosling leaned into his post-Barbie fame
01:34with a musical monologue that referenced Ken's cultural takeover.
01:37You know, when you play a character that hard, that long, just letting go just feels like a breakup.
01:46And for processing a breakup, there's really only one thing that can help.
01:50He performed a parody mashup at the piano, including a playful spin on Taylor Swift's
01:55All Too Well reworked as Ken's version.
01:57Mid-song, he starts to smile at the audience reaction and briefly loses composure,
02:02especially when the lyrics get increasingly melodramatic.
02:05I left my rollerblades in that big pink house
02:10But I still got that fur coat and I'll wear it right now
02:14Later on, he's joined by Emily Blunt, his co-star in The Fall Guy,
02:19who also starred in Oppenheimer, the other half of the Barbenheimer double feature phenomenon.
02:24Although Blunt kept a straight face, Gosling's goofy energy once again bubbled to the surface,
02:29and he struggled to keep from breaking.
02:31I was there, bleach blonde hair, now it's time to wish that Ken Ferrell
02:42That's how this is going to go.
02:44Number 18. High School Friend
02:46This bar set sketch features Kyle Mooney as Gosling's painfully awkward former classmate,
02:52who sabotages his grown-up image during an interview with Cecily Strong's character.
02:56Well, well, well, well, well, well. If it isn't the little bitch I used to beat up in high school.
03:04Cryin' Ryan Gosling
03:07Mooney's intentionally stilted delivery and bizarre personal anecdotes slowly chip away at Gosling's composure.
03:13At one point, while Mooney leans in and mutters an uncomfortable memory,
03:17Gosling turns away and visibly laughs before quickly recovering.
03:20Well, Cryin' Ryan here wasn't just a Sally songstress.
03:26He also used to prance around in a pair of parachute pants like a Tommy Tutu.
03:32You can see him press his lips together and blink rapidly.
03:36It happens more than once.
03:37The contrast between Mooney's exaggerated absurdity and Gosling's cracking cool guy facade
03:42makes the entire sketch spiral delightfully.
03:48What are you doing?
03:50We're taking off our shirts to compare our bodies.
03:54Number 17. Ryan Gosling monologue.
03:57There were quite a few surprises during the opening monologue of Ryan Gosling's fourth hosting stint.
04:02The biggest came when Harry Styles unexpectedly appeared in the audience,
04:06claiming he was simply there to watch and learn ahead of his hosting stint the following week.
04:10No, it's beautiful. Um, is that Harry Styles?
04:19At first, Gosling held it together, even as Styles continuously drew attention away from him.
04:24But anyone who thought the Project Hail Mary actor had finally conquered his tendency to break character
04:29was quickly proven wrong.
04:31The moment Mikey Day walked on stage and surprised Gosling with a kiss on his cheek, he lost it.
04:37Hey, thanks.
04:38Yeah?
04:43Don't be, don't be sad, Rye Rye.
04:47Once that composure cracked, the floodgates opened,
04:50setting the stage for a night filled with constant, contagious, and utterly hilarious breaks.
04:55But, um, I guess while we're here...
04:59Just stop your crying, it's the sign of the times, everybody!
05:05Number 16. Santa and the Elves.
05:07In this twisted North Pole scenario, Kenan Thompson, Vanessa Bayer, and Gosling play elves intentionally slacking off
05:14so Bobby Moynihan's Santa will punish them.
05:17So I guess you gotta, like, show us who's the boss now, right?
05:20Right, Santa?
05:22Like, show us who's in charge?
05:23Yeah, uh, otherwise, how will we ever learn?
05:27Me?
05:27Me? I learned through discipline.
05:29The humor is dark and increasingly unhinged as the elves describe how little work they've done and the kind of
05:35punishment they would like.
05:37Gosling tries to maintain a straight face while Thompson escalates the dialogue, but you can clearly see him chuckling on
05:43the inside.
05:53He tries to hide behind the fact that the characters are naturally giggly, but in this case, it's easy to
05:58detect when Gosling, the actor, is the one breaking.
06:01Stop around and let your hairy belly bounce all over the place.
06:05Yeah, uh, and then there would be no question who was in charge.
06:11Number 15. Jazz opening monologue.
06:14Returning to host Saturday Night Live for his second time in season 43, Ryan Gosling opened with a truly memorable
06:20monologue, hilariously declaring himself the savior of jazz.
06:24You guys know I saved jazz, right?
06:27I mean, I did this movie La La Land, and then everyone was saying that I saved jazz, and I
06:32guess it was dying, and I saved it.
06:34He delivered an impassioned yet utterly nonsensical speech about his profound connection to the music genre, then sat down at
06:41the piano, ready to demonstrate his supposed jazz prowess.
06:44As he theatrically began to play, his attempt at serious, soulful improvisation quickly dissolved.
06:50And then from New Orleans.
07:00From New Orleans, they moved on to Chicago.
07:05The combination of his own over-the-top performance and the ridiculous lines he had to say proved too much
07:10for him.
07:11Gosling visibly broke, a wide grin spreading across his face as he succumbed to the humor of his self-proclaimed
07:17musical genius.
07:18But jazz just isn't about the notes you play. It's about the notes you don't play. You know what I
07:24mean?
07:25Oh, I'm so glad I saved jazz.
07:27Number 14. Wedding Tradition
07:30Ryan Gosling tends to shine the most, and crack up the fastest, when he's in sketches built on especially bizarre
07:36premises.
07:37In this one, he plays Donathan, a wedding guest who discovers the tradition that the newlyweds must kiss when someone
07:43clinks their glass.
07:48Kiss. I don't make the rules.
07:51A lot of kisses. Let's save some for the honeymoon.
07:55Donathan takes this custom to ridiculous extremes, repeatedly striking his glass, interrupting the couple's speech, and loudly demanding a kiss
08:03each time.
08:04When he suddenly shifts gears to explain exactly what kind of kiss he expects, Gosling lets out a sharp snicker
08:09while trying to keep it together.
08:11When I clink the top of the glass, you kiss on the lips.
08:17So when I...
08:24Guess...
08:26Guess what body part I want you to kiss now?
08:28Despite his efforts to stay composed, the escalating absurdity of the sketch gets the better of him, and he ends
08:34up breaking even more openly later on.
08:36I'm doing the siblings now.
08:40Kiss.
08:41Stop. We're brother and sister, man.
08:44And yet, the rules are the rules.
08:47Number 13. Birthday Party.
08:49Wow, I guess everyone knows how dirty I am. Do you like that, Mr. Dilham?
08:58Actually, no, I do not like that.
09:00Aidy Bryant's Melanie hijacks her friend's birthday celebration by aggressively flirting with Taylor's dad, played by Gosling.
09:07The comedy hinges on Bryant's relentless commitment to making everyone uncomfortable.
09:11As she delivers increasingly inappropriate compliments, Gosling starts to chuckle under his breath.
09:26He never fully collapses into laughter, but you can see him fighting it.
09:30His shoulders shake slightly during one of her longer monologues.
09:34The restraint almost makes it worse.
09:36The audience can tell he's hanging by a thread.
09:38Bryant's confidence versus Gosling's barely contained amusement creates a tension that keeps building until the sketch ends.
09:45When I first taught you how to swim.
09:47Oh, yeah, I frickin' what?
09:54She doesn't.
09:56Number 12. Aaron Brockovich.
09:58This parody imagines a deleted scene from Aaron Brockovich, with Gosling as a painfully bland neighbor introducing himself to Chloe
10:05Fineman's character.
10:07Here's a letter for you.
10:10Why?
10:12The thing I asked my wife and my dad when he left.
10:15The humor is dry and awkward, leaning into uncomfortable small talk.
10:20Nonetheless, Gosling mostly manages to keep it together.
10:22But that all changes when Kenan Thompson walks in.
10:25As Thompson goes off on a tangent, Gosling visibly loses it.
10:29Sorry about that, Roland.
10:30We didn't mean to make so much noise.
10:32Noise?
10:34Did you say noise?
10:36I know a couple noises.
10:38Beep, beep.
10:39The crack is quick, but undeniable.
10:42It feels spontaneous, as if Thompson's timing genuinely caught him off guard.
10:46At one point, he even has to use his fake mustache to mask his quivering lips.
10:51How's that for sound?
10:55It's good.
10:57It's really good.
10:59But you've convinced me.
11:01I'd love to get that dinner.
11:02Number 11.
11:04Can't Tonight
11:05Have you ever had friends who just won't take no for an answer when trying to get you to go
11:09out?
11:09That's the relatable premise of Can't Tonight from Season 49.
11:13We gotta go out tonight.
11:15Yeah, man.
11:16We gotta go out to the club tonight.
11:18Oh, I can't tonight.
11:21Not tonight, guys.
11:23Ryan Gosling and Marcelo Hernandez play two persistent friends,
11:26attempting to convince Kenan Thompson's character to join them for a night out.
11:29Now, Gosling delivers his lines with a determined, yet increasingly exasperated tone,
11:34as they try every trick in the book to sway Thompson.
11:37I was saying tonight was gonna be loco.
11:40You're gonna be a bunch of ladies.
11:41You're original dog from Beethoven.
11:43All of us.
11:45Bailando.
11:48With every line from the actors around,
11:51Gosling slips further and further down character-breaking territory.
11:54When Gosling later gets on the phone,
11:56trying another angle to get their friend to budge,
11:59the subtle absurdities of the conversation,
12:01or perhaps his scene partner's delivery,
12:03inevitably get to him.
12:05The original dog from Beethoven?
12:08This is so sad.
12:10Yeah.
12:11We're gonna have to cancel you,
12:14original dog from Beethoven.
12:15Number 10.
12:17Passing Notes.
12:18For his fourth time hosting SNL,
12:20the writers clearly expected Ryan Gosling to break,
12:23so they leaned into it with the passing note sketch.
12:25Owen, are you passing a note?
12:27Give it to me, Owen.
12:28Are you passing a note?
12:30This is exactly what Principal Witt is talking about.
12:33Come on, Owen.
12:34How about I share this with the class, huh?
12:36Following a tradition previously used by John Mulaney with Stefan,
12:39the writers changed the contents of the notes
12:41between dress rehearsal and the live show,
12:44even including a disclaimer for the audience.
12:46The plan worked perfectly.
12:48Although Ashley Padilla bore the brunt of the chaos,
12:51Gosling wasn't far behind
12:52as he read confiscated notes from students roasting him.
12:55When he finally made one,
12:58he tried to celebrate by ripping his t-shirt in half,
13:01but he couldn't do it
13:03and just stretched it out really bad.
13:06He didn't just break while reading them.
13:08Merely watching Padilla completely lose her composure
13:11had a domino effect on him.
13:12We all knew it was coming,
13:14so what better way to indulge
13:15our love for Gosling's character breaking?
13:17Every time the Ken character came on screen,
13:20he'd say,
13:22finally something to look at.
13:24Number 9.
13:25Close Encounter Cold Open
13:27I'm just realizing that I was wearing
13:29the same outfit last time I was here.
13:32I just want you to know I do have other clothes.
13:35The third iteration of this beloved sketch
13:37placed Ryan Gosling, Kate McKinnon, and Sarah Sherman
13:40as three friends being interrogated
13:42after another alien abduction.
13:44Gosling, playing the straight man
13:46to McKinnon's increasingly outlandish claims,
13:48tries to maintain some semblance of seriousness.
13:51I wore my see-through rope.
13:53So when they saw, you know,
13:55that I was packing the troll nose.
14:00My troll nose, you know,
14:02they just went right for it.
14:03His previous encounters with this sketch
14:05have shown his susceptibility to McKinnon's antics,
14:08and this iteration was no different.
14:10The ultimate moment of his break
14:11comes when McKinnon inexplicably goes
14:13under his legs during her recounting
14:15of the alien encounter.
14:17They're fat in the world.
14:20They're just fat.
14:22They're, you know,
14:25they're sniffing at that.
14:27The sheer surprise and absurdity of her movement
14:29completely derail Gosling.
14:31He almost doubles over,
14:33unable to contain his laughter
14:34as McKinnon's bizarre actions
14:36once more prove his comedic kryptonite.
14:38And just in case you're wondering,
14:40I did not become aroused.
14:44Anytime I felt like I might,
14:45I just looked at Colleen here
14:46and they're going to take care of her for me.
14:48Number 8.
14:49Dive Bar.
14:50She tried to show me a part of herself
14:52that I was not ready to receive.
14:56I've, uh,
14:57just found a Kleenex.
14:58Oh, thanks!
14:59Here you go.
15:00Oh, great!
15:01Thank you very much!
15:02Set in a low-energy music venue,
15:04this sketch centers on
15:05Kenan Thompson's dramatic backstory
15:07overtaking the band's performance.
15:09Gosling plays the flute player,
15:11forced to maintain ambiance
15:12while chaos unfolds.
15:14As Kenan delivers
15:15increasingly intense revelations,
15:17Gosling attempts to keep playing.
15:19Instead, he starts laughing
15:20into the instrument.
15:22Mr. Larry Fontanelle
15:23on his rock and roll flute!
15:26Woo!
15:26Woo!
15:27Woo!
15:28Woo!
15:28Woo!
15:29Woo!
15:29Woo!
15:29Woo!
15:30Woo!
15:32From then on,
15:33Gosling never fully regains
15:35his composure.
15:36When the drama between him
15:37and Thompson's singer
15:38bubbles to the surface,
15:39neither of them is able
15:40to keep it together.
15:41We certainly would have seen
15:42even more shots of Gosling
15:44breaking if the cameras
15:45had stayed on him
15:46the entire time.
15:47They accessed the common area?
15:49You shut up for a second!
15:51Uh-huh.
15:52So they sacked the place?
15:53Sacked!
15:54Did they get my good genes?
15:56I saw you.
15:57Number 7.
15:58The Engagement.
15:59In this sketch,
16:00Ryan Gosling and Chloe
16:01Feynman portray a newly
16:03engaged couple announcing
16:04their news to friends
16:05played by Ego Wodum
16:06and Andrew Dismukes.
16:07Well, congratulations, guys.
16:09And Harrison,
16:10it's so nice to finally meet you.
16:11Thank you, Brad.
16:12Brad.
16:14Am I saying that right, Brad?
16:16Yeah!
16:17No other way to say Brad.
16:19The scene slowly unravels
16:21when Feynman and Wodum
16:22exit the scene,
16:23leaving Gosling
16:24and Dismukes alone.
16:25Gosling starts off
16:26as the proud,
16:27happy fiancé,
16:28but it is quickly revealed
16:29that he only proposed
16:30because their dog died.
16:32I'm going to leave tonight.
16:36Why are you doing this?
16:42As Gosling expresses his regret
16:44to an uncomfortable Dismukes,
16:45he visibly cracks,
16:47smiling wide
16:48before forcing himself
16:49back into character.
16:50He turns slightly,
16:51trying to mask it,
16:52but the laughter slips through.
16:53Gosling's break
16:55adds to the awkward charm
16:56of an engagement story
16:57gone completely sideways.
16:59I'm sorry if I said anything
17:01that made you uncomfortable.
17:04Yeah, all of it then.
17:06Okay, okay,
17:07now I think we could all
17:08use a real drink.
17:10Number six,
17:11another close encounter.
17:12The second Alien Abduction
17:14installment pairs Gosling
17:15again with Kate McKinnon
17:16and Cecily Strong,
17:17questioned this time
17:18by A.D. Bryant
17:19and Mikey Day.
17:20Well, the aliens like
17:21touched our foreheads
17:23and I saw my whole life,
17:25even parts I haven't lived yet
17:26and in a lot of those parts,
17:28I was wearing this hat.
17:30As always,
17:31McKinnon's character
17:32escalates the physical comedy,
17:33including a moment
17:34where she gets Gosling
17:35to rise to his feet
17:36so she can describe
17:37the alien's behavior.
17:38McKinnon grabs his backside,
17:40smushes it together
17:41and even jams her face into it.
17:43Another one of these idiots
17:44was just like
17:46jamming his face
17:47and looking at it
17:50for the source of the tear
17:51and I was like,
17:53hey, last guy who did that
17:54got double-barreled pink eye.
17:57Unsurprisingly,
17:58Gosling loses composure repeatedly,
18:00laughing openly
18:01with his face turned away
18:02from the camera.
18:03It's a cascade effect.
18:04Once he starts,
18:05he can't stop.
18:06The sketch cements a pattern.
18:08Put Gosling opposite McKinnon's chaos
18:10and composure is optional.
18:12We were led down
18:13a passageway of light
18:15cradled by what felt like
18:17a big fuzzy mitten.
18:20It almost felt like
18:22I was like God himself.
18:24Number 5.
18:25Henrietta and the Fugitive.
18:27It's a well-established fact
18:28that Kate McKinnon
18:29can make Ryan Gosling
18:30break with ease.
18:31But another underrated cast member
18:33with that same talent
18:34is Aidy Bryant.
18:35You make me feel
18:36like a star, Freddie.
18:38Good luck, boys.
18:39Oh, baby,
18:40how do you come up
18:41with this stuff?
18:42Oh, you're a flirt.
18:44I can't believe
18:45you're taking me to Spain.
18:47In this sketch,
18:49Bryant plays Henrietta,
18:50a hen smitten
18:51with a mysterious fugitive.
18:53Gosling plays
18:53the romantic outlaw,
18:55trying to be suave
18:56while hiding from the law.
18:57The sketch's humor relies
18:59on the sweet,
18:59yet naive Henrietta's
19:01elaborate and often
19:02illogical attempts
19:03to conceal him.
19:04When Henrietta finds out
19:05the fugitive has been
19:06lying to her,
19:07she confronts him,
19:08resulting in the moment
19:09when Gosling breaks character.
19:11You even said
19:11you didn't have a gun.
19:13Who wants this?
19:15Thank God it.
19:17Oh!
19:20Even Bryant breaks herself.
19:22Their shared inability
19:23to stay in character
19:24also manifests itself
19:25when they supposedly
19:26reunite 20 years later.
19:29Where to, senorita?
19:33Barcelona!
19:38Eating at a fancy
19:39Italian restaurant
19:40usually implies
19:41a certain level
19:41of culinary authenticity,
19:43but this season 43 sketch
19:45hilariously flips
19:46that expectation
19:47on its head.
19:47You can't do this to me!
19:49I'm not a Pizza Hut girl!
19:50I'm a Terrazzano's girl!
19:52Guys, guys,
19:52Terrazzano's
19:53is not a real restaurant.
19:55It never existed
19:57before today.
19:58Ryan Gosling
19:59and Cecily Strong
20:00play two discerning customers
20:01who are absolutely aghast
20:03to discover
20:03that the exquisite
20:04Italian meal
20:05they've been enjoying
20:06is actually
20:07from Pizza Hut.
20:08As Strong spirals
20:09into indignation,
20:10Gosling starts to crack.
20:12He looks down,
20:13grinning,
20:13before attempting
20:14to resume
20:15his offended tone.
20:16You're just a loser
20:17who could never
20:18afford to eat
20:18at Terrazzano's,
20:19so you made it
20:20your pathetic
20:21life's little mission
20:22to destroy
20:23the people who can.
20:25The break happens
20:26mid-reaction shot,
20:27so it's basically
20:28impossible to miss.
20:29Strong's escalating fury
20:31pushes him further
20:31each time she speaks.
20:33By the end,
20:34he's barely holding on.
20:35If this weren't
20:36Terrazzano's,
20:39I would beat you
20:40to death.
20:41There is no Terrazzano's!
20:43Number 3.
20:45Doctor.
20:45This hospital sketch
20:46features Bowen Yang
20:47and Gosling
20:48as medical professionals
20:49delivering increasingly
20:50absurd updates
20:51to a concerned family.
20:52If it's any comfort,
20:54it's not my fault.
20:57What?
20:58It's not my fault
20:59that he's dead.
21:01I was there
21:02for the whole thing.
21:03Nothing odd
21:04happened in there.
21:05From the very second
21:06Gosling appears on screen,
21:08it's immediately clear
21:09that he won't make it
21:10through the sketch
21:10in one piece.
21:11Every line that comes
21:12out of Yang's mouth
21:13is even more ridiculous
21:14than the last,
21:15and they push Gosling
21:16further along the break path.
21:28When the two retreat
21:29to eat from Yang's
21:30bag of cookie crumbles,
21:31Gosling struggles
21:32to get his lines out
21:33without completely
21:34messing them up.
21:35But he's not the only
21:36casualty in this scene.
21:37Everyone breaks
21:38when Yang is accidentally
21:39hit by the incoming wheelchair.
21:41Okay, here he is!
21:43Be careful!
21:45So sorry, Gosling.
21:46Is that my family?
21:48I'm still feeling
21:50a little woozy.
21:51Number 2,
21:52Beavis and Butthead.
21:53A serious News Nation
21:55livestream event
21:56on AI becomes
21:57anything but
21:58in this Season 49 sketch.
22:00Professor,
22:00you've been very outspoken
22:02about the threat
22:02AI poses.
22:03Can you explain
22:04your stance
22:05to the average American?
22:08The intellectual discussion
22:10is completely derailed
22:11by two audience members
22:12who look suspiciously
22:14like the cartoon characters
22:15Beavis and Butthead.
22:16While Heidi Gardner
22:17bravely attempts
22:17to anchor the broadcast,
22:19she becomes the primary
22:20victim of character breaks.
22:22I'm sorry?
22:24You're talking about me?
22:26I have no idea
22:27what's going on.
22:27I'm sorry.
22:28What?
22:29Yes, can you move the seats?
22:32Uh, okay, sure.
22:33But Gosling isn't
22:34far behind himself.
22:36When he sits beside
22:36Mikey Day's
22:37eerily accurate butthead,
22:39he also succumbs
22:40to the chaos.
22:41The sight of Day's
22:42perfect impersonation,
22:43combined with the
22:44juvenile interjections,
22:45proves irresistible.
22:47Gosling breaks character
22:48repeatedly from this point
22:49on and just never
22:50fully recovers.
22:51I've heard rumblings
22:55that I look like
22:56someone from TV
22:57but it's just...
22:59maybe it's this
23:00Beavis person,
23:01I don't know.
23:02I don't watch much television.

23:21Close Encounter
23:22The original
23:22alien abduction sketch
23:24is where it all began.
23:25Gosling joins Kate McKinnon
23:26and Cecily Strong
23:27recounting their experiences
23:29to government officials.
23:30When you all awoke,
23:31were you clothed?
23:32Um, I was wrapped
23:34in like a robe
23:35made out of warm,
23:36glowing energy.
23:39Yeah, like a blanket
23:40made out of pure love.
23:43McKinnon's wildly graphic
23:44and escalating monologue
23:46sends him into
23:46uncontrollable laughter.
23:48He covers his face,
23:49turns away,
23:50and outright breaks
23:51multiple times.
23:53Oh, I was carried down
23:55gently.
23:59He's crying.
24:00I was carried down
24:01gently in a cradle
24:02of light
24:03placed into a soft
24:04bed of wildflowers.
24:06The audience roars
24:07as he tries
24:08and fails to recover.
24:09By the time McKinnon
24:10is done fully describing
24:11what she experienced,
24:12Gosling is completely gone.
24:14It becomes a shared
24:15experience between
24:16performer and audience.
24:17That first collapse
24:18set the tone
24:19for every future
24:20hosting gig.
24:21From that night on,
24:22watching Gosling
24:23try not to laugh
24:24in every sketch
24:24he appeared in
24:25became half the fun.
24:31Ben.
24:33Ben, you got screwed.
24:34Oh, you think, Todd?
24:36Which of Ryan Gosling's
24:37SNL breaks
24:37makes you laugh
24:38the hardest?
24:39Let us know
24:40in the comments below.
24:43Still there,
24:44We'll see
24:44Bye-bye.
24:44Bye-bye.
24:44Bye-bye.
24:44Bye-bye.
24:44Amen.
