00:00I'm staring here, staring at rock legend Bruce Dickinson.
00:02I'm a cock and a walk, baby.
00:04And if Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell, we should probably give him more cowbell.
00:08Say it, baby.
00:09Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:11And today, we're counting down our picks for the most notable, hilarious, and or unforgettable times somebody lost it on
00:17SNL.
00:18You're gonna be doing a lot of doobie rolling when you're living in a van down by the river.
00:27Number 50. Trauma Support Group
00:30My thing makes his thing sound like an episode of Sesame Street.
00:36What's that, Samuel?
00:37Forget it. I've just been through stuff, okay?
00:40Somehow, Bill Burr's group leader is not the most startling part of the sketch.
00:45While the host and his wig are a highlight, the most entertaining moment comes from Bowen Yang's character.
00:50His tough guy ruins the meeting, eats all the donuts, and can't stand the others.
00:55You can't smoke in here, Samuel.
00:57Fine, I'll just take a donut then.
00:59Okay.
01:00Yang is deep into this aggro role until he puts a cigarette out on Ashley Padilla's leg.
01:05The latter actress reacts accordingly, but it seems to startle her co-star into a laugh.
01:09Both performers end up having to recover after the loud break in the action.
01:13If you're not paying attention, this shocking turn will certainly wake you up.
01:16And I've just been staring at it for hours.
01:19Would you just shut up already?
01:22Number 49. Church on Vacation
01:25Dad, did you have to drag us to church while we're on vacation?
01:29Yeah, can't we skip one Sunday?
01:31Hey, we're Catholics, okay?
01:33On his SNL episode, Shane Gillis brought out his irreverent side.
01:37This sketch makes him a father that takes his family to a Jamaican church.
01:40They might be on vacation, but that doesn't mean they're gonna miss out on a Sunday service.
01:45Gillis tries his hand at some patois before breaking later in the sketch.
01:48Right before he finally loses it, he gives his best attempt at an accent again before
01:53chuckling to himself.
01:54If you're hearing me or not, you say amen.
01:57Yeah, amen.
02:00Honey, you don't even know what he's talking about.
02:03Hush now, child, me trying to hear the good word.
02:06The surrounding chaos and stellar performances only make it more obvious that something might happen.
02:12With Heidi Gardner giving a solid reaction, the host locks in after having a moment of laughter.
02:17Father is right.
02:18Jesus was upon the cross, died for our sins and treaties.
02:21They take one rays up into heaven.
02:25Ricky!
02:29What are you saying?
02:31Number 48.
02:32One-Uppers
02:33Hey, guys, I'm sorry I'm late.
02:37Oh my gosh, Angie!
02:38I haven't seen you in so long!
02:40At a dinner between friends, Jack Black's guest arrives to do some not-so-humble brags.
02:45These are all accompanied by a signature look and bird screech.
02:49The reactions are lovably dumb, but they only ratchet up in intensity as Bowen joins the scene.
02:54Hey, by the way, Eddie, where did you get your sweater?
02:57Oh, I thrifted it.
02:59Throughout the action, the performers crack up as their co-stars try to find the camera.
03:04Black shows off his dedication as the sketch takes a few more absurd turns.
03:08The sound effects and angles are a little off, making the sketch that much funnier.
03:12You can tell the cast members are barely hanging in there.
03:15With so many different camera shots, they can't hide their faces, either.
03:19I know I am.
03:20Me too, but I don't go to the beach.
03:22I only go to black-owned pools.
03:27Number 47.
03:28Lisa from Temecula, Sports Bar
03:32Temecula, I know that's right.
03:34Y'all been in the bathrooms here?
03:36They got that good soap.
03:37After a successful first sketch, the show decided to try it again a few more times.
03:42This version is once again funny and full of breaking like the original.
03:46With host Josh Brolin, the sketch seems to be going well, until Bowen Yang can't take it anymore.
03:59There are already some small cracks before the entire comedy dam bursts.
04:03Ego Wodum's lines and enunciation start a domino effect with Yang.
04:07It's already such a goofy sketch, but the giggling only makes it all the more memorable.
04:11You can always count on someone laughing when Lisa from Temecula shows up.
04:15Lisa, when you cut it out, Mark was just talking, girl.
04:18I heard every word.
04:20Mr. Tarzan over here, trying to lure me to his house, talking about he got a big snake.
04:25Number 46.
04:26George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush Go Hunting
04:30Over here.
04:31It went this way.
04:32Huh?
04:33Did you get him?
04:35Sharing some quality time together, this father and son duo spend a day in the forest.
04:40This sketch is also an excuse for two SNL titans to work together,
04:43While Dana Carvey and Will Ferrell might be heavyweights,
04:46they have to deal with an apparent slip-up.
04:48The older Bush makes a motion like he's going to slap the younger one.
04:51Were you trying to hit me?
04:52Well, no, there was a fly right near your head.
04:55Went like that.
04:57When no sound effect comes, both comedians have a moment of shock before continuing the sketch.
05:02Carvey and Ferrell pick up the pieces and do some improvisation.
05:05Using their professional skills, the duo knows how to roll with the punches despite this hiccup.
05:12Well, you put the antlers down.
05:16Number 45.
05:18New Wife
05:18What are we celebrating tonight, bud?
05:20Yeah, Vince, what's the raison de la fete?
05:23You haven't heard?
05:24I got married this past weekend.
05:26While he's better known for his curb your enthusiasm persona,
05:30SNL lets Larry David try out different roles.
05:32This one is especially funny for how far he gets from his neurotic stereotype.
05:36As a strange man with a new wife, his character tries to impress the other partygoers.
05:41He holds it all together before he crumbles in the final minutes.
05:44Get out!
05:47Is everything okay?
05:50You got some math.
05:54David has some ridiculous dialogue to say, making it even harder to get the words out.
05:59His giggly nature makes this wild part especially difficult near the end.
06:02You might not even find the lead-up amusing, but the Seinfeld creator certainly gives it one last comedic stamp.
06:09We do have a meeting at 6 a.m.
06:12Yeah, we got that 6 a.m. meeting, man.
06:16Number 44.
06:17Doctor
06:18Hello, family.
06:22Well, this is never easy to say.
06:24We did everything we could, but he did not make it.
06:28This might be the most amazing train wreck of season 49.
06:31When Ryan Gosling shows up, you know that somebody will break.
06:36The setup here starts with a family death and morphs into a medical melodrama.
06:40Gosling enters as Bowen Yang's helper, with the two playing characters that also love cookies.
06:45That is genius dessert salad.
06:47The dressing could be chocolate syrup or ice cream.
06:52The host breaks more than once as he makes a hilarious mistake with a camera.
06:56Between the food gags and ensemble acting, this feels like a gloriously weird scene.
07:02It hits yet another peak when Molly Carney accidentally clips their co-star with a wheelchair.
07:06By that point, many performers lose their composure in this funny sketch.
07:18Number 43.
07:20Diner Lobster
07:20Did you two want it yet?
07:22No.
07:23Did you two carve gang signs into the baby changing station?
07:27Yeah.
07:28All right, what do you want to eat?
07:29When John Mulaney hosted SNL, he starred in this wonderful idea about a questionable dish.
07:35Pete Davidson's character orders the Diner Lobster and draws some strong reactions.
07:39After the customer doubles down, the restaurant decides to start a tribute to Les Miserables.
07:44All right, everyone, the time has come.
07:47We've got an order here for one lobster.
07:54It's an incredible number that's so unexpected, over-the-top, and funny.
07:58Davidson cannot help but laugh at the sight of everything.
08:01To be fair, we are all him watching this unfold.
08:04The actor cannot hold back his reaction as pure joy washes over his face.
08:08With that kind of infectious happiness, the sketch only builds from there.
08:12I thought that there was an unspoken rule.
08:16That lobster in a diner's never cool.
08:20Number 42.
08:22Apple-picking ad
08:22Ah, hello.
08:24I'm Deborah Chickum.
08:26If you've ever been apple-picking, you'll likely appreciate this sketch.
08:31Kate McKinnon and Aidy Bryant play sisters that run an orchard that might not be so great after all.
08:35While various people talk about their experience, the seams start to burst thanks to the lead actresses.
08:41Bryant and McKinnon have such a solid chemistry that gives way to some laughter.
08:45Still not feeling picky?
08:47Listen to this satisfied customer.
08:49Even if the sketch isn't firing on all cylinders, the mistakes make it all the better.
08:54It's super entertaining to watch the pair work through the giggles.
08:57In between some comical testimonials, the comedians bring their charming energy to the scene.
09:07You also have a penning suit.
09:11Number 41.
09:12Uncle Ben
09:13Thank you all for being here.
09:20In this sketch, SNL takes a look at changes in corporate marketing.
09:24Dave Chappelle introduces a scene where executives fire mascots like Aunt Jemima.
09:28I'm sorry, but it's just not working out. We have to let you go.
09:32But I'm Aunt Jemima.
09:35The comedian plays the spokesman for Allstate, but he immediately laughs before his line.
09:40He also has to contend with his modulated voice.
09:43If we can't work, how come the Allstate guy gets to work?
09:51Chappelle giggles through his script, making for several highlights in the star-studded sketch.
09:56His Dennis Haysbert impression isn't the only thing that causes laughter.
09:59When Pete Davidson shows up as Count Chocula, the host takes another opportunity to let loose.
10:04Davidson spits his fake teeth out when he can't take it anymore.
10:07Needless to say, this entire sequence benefited from a few derailments.
10:11Look at Pete Davidson's lips.
10:17Number 40.
10:18The Barry Gibb Talk Show 2024 Election.
10:29In every version of this sketch, the concept seems to expand in silly ways.
10:34Jimmy Fallon goes all out as the Bee Gees' leader, while Justin Timberlake plays the sibling co-host.
10:39The singer almost breaks at a few points, but then he and his co-star have to introduce
10:43Dakota Johnson's character.
10:45So, Joanne called Ducci.
10:47Joanne!
10:48Joanne!
10:49Joanne called Ducci!
10:51The sketch involves so many intricate bits and musical numbers that you cannot believe it
10:55works at all.
10:56Just short of complete disaster, Timberlake giggles through the lyrics before Johnson breaks as well.
11:02Fallon stays laser-focused while his scene partners hang on for dear life.
11:06Dad!
11:10Hi!
11:12Number 39.
11:13Weekend Update, Smokery Farms.
11:15Here to comment are the owners of Smokery Farms' meat gift delivery service,
11:20Vanetta and Wylene Starkey.
11:23For this Weekend Update segment,
11:26Aidy Bryant and Kate McKinnon once again show off their chemistry.
11:29They play two cousins selling a collection of meats.
11:31With a prop alongside them,
11:33the performers try not to inhale the stench.
11:36It's clear they are fighting the strong smell in between funny setups.
11:39Noticing that his co-stars are flailing,
11:42Colin Joest laughs along as the basket becomes a centerpiece.
11:52Bryant and McKinnon are like two kids chuckling through their school project.
11:56Joest then tries to avoid the meat altogether.
11:58Using their best southern accents,
12:00the comedians bulldoze through the script as best they can.
12:03You like meat, Colin?
12:06Colin?
12:07You a big meat boy, Colin?
12:11I'm not closer, no.
12:13Number 38.
12:14Chris Farley as Bennett Brower.
12:16Tonight Weekend Update is happy to welcome back with another commentary, Bennett Brower.
12:20Bennett, what do you got going?
12:22How are you, Kevin?
12:23Good to see you.
12:24Known for his physical roles,
12:26Chris Farley is among the best SNL performers that could make anything funny.
12:30This premise lets him use his hands and do excessive air quotes.
12:33Farley eventually receives a boost, with wires hoisting him into the air.
12:38The sketch takes a detour as the performer gets stuck.
12:41I'm flying.
12:42I'm flying.
12:43I'm flying.
12:45Holy shnikes.
12:47With crew members shuffling around,
12:49Weekend Update host Kevin Nealon steps in to help.
12:52The lead comedian takes the moment in stride and makes a few jokes at his own expense.
12:56As Nealon laughs through the mishap,
12:58his co-star eventually soars into the air in a triumphant save.
13:08Number 37.
13:09Birthday Party.
13:10Woo-hoo, wee-hoo!
13:12Party police, you girls are under arrest for having too much fun.
13:17As friends gather together, Ryan Gosling plays the dad.
13:20He quickly runs into a foil played by Aidy Bryant.
13:24Um, I can actually answer that because I'm 13 and a half.
13:28I'm so old now that my mom lets me shower all by myself.
13:32The latter plays a girl that's obsessed,
13:35making this party more than a little awkward.
13:37Bryant is great here with her line deliveries and interplay with the host.
13:41Gosling plays against his co-star's wild character,
13:43but he can only put up with so much.
13:56He eventually breaks after a quick line from the comedian.
13:59Considering all of the hyperactivity,
14:01you wonder how he didn't break right away.
14:03The Barbie star is known for breaking on SNL,
14:06and this sketch helps him continue that tradition.
14:09When I first taught you how to swim...
14:11Oh, yeah, I frickin' wet.
14:18Number 36.
14:19Pepper Boy.
14:20Come here, come here.
14:21You see what I do that time with the pepper?
14:22You see what I do with the pepper?
14:23Yes, signor, Marco.
14:24When Dana Carvey returned to host,
14:26he showed that he still had his sketch comedy skills.
14:29He becomes a waiter alongside Adam Sandler.
14:31In this Italian restaurant, Pepper is king.
14:34The two performers also have to utilize some outrageous accents.
14:38Going from table to table,
14:40the employees ramp up their antics with each passing customer.
14:51Sandler then has to endure the wrath of Chris Farley and his fake beard.
14:55Hiding his reaction, the performer probably wants to laugh.
14:58His sudden movement is subtle compared to his co-star's loud performance.
15:02Looking back,
15:03any of them could have broken at any point before that,
15:05given all the craziness.
15:06What does he say to you?
15:09Why, yes!
15:14Say when.
15:16What I, what I, what I, what I.
15:17One.
15:19Number 35.
15:20Royal Family Doctor.
15:22When one has an audience with the royal...
15:24With their British accents on full blast,
15:28Bill Hader and Martin Short deliver some inspiring performances.
15:31Hader plays the straight man opposite Short's zanier character.
15:34The former plays an OB-GYN,
15:36while the latter tries to explain how to deal with royalty.
15:39This leads to some hilariously awkward roles and the older comedian's acting.
15:44I'm sorry, must we call it the royal...
15:46Well, the only other acceptable terms that I know of is the governess.
15:51The younger cast member has more than a few moments where he needs to pause.
15:55Playing a stern doctor,
15:56the Barry star needs to cover his mouth to survive his scene partner.
16:00The startling and bold choices from the Three Amigos actor could break even the most serious person.
16:13Number 34.
16:14The Sensitive Drill Sergeant.
16:16What in the hell's name is going on here?
16:18This ain't no garden party.
16:20You're lucky I don't take your pukes out in the middle of the base
16:22and stomp your asses into the ground.
16:24Do you understand me?
16:25Yes, sir!
16:26You've seen this kind of setup before.
16:27The drill sergeant intimidates his trainees with relentless insults.
16:31For the SNL version, Will Ferrell plays the military leader that's working through his emotions.
16:36He also makes his presence known by ignoring personal space.
16:39Ferrell's character focuses on David Spade's cadet,
16:42using his hat to hammer the point home.
16:44Regardless of my sexual orientation, sir,
16:47I believe I can show you how communication can help a relationship.
16:51This causes the host to break as he endures his co-star.
16:55Spade might be a Saturday Night Live veteran,
16:58but even the most experienced players would have a tough time here.
17:01The entertaining scene builds to a funny crescendo
17:03as the hat brim becomes a comedic weapon.
17:07And just how do you propose to do this, private candy ass?
17:11By making an honest connection!
17:13Number 33.
17:14Cut for Time.
17:15Gus Chiggins' Old Prospector.
17:17Old Prospector.
17:19Yes?
17:21I never, uh, did get your name.
17:24Gus Chiggins.
17:26Not every sketch makes it to the live show,
17:29but some live on as a legend.
17:31Thankfully for audiences, this sketch survives online.
17:35Will Ferrell's character is so ridiculous
17:37that he tears through most of the cast.
17:39The soldiers don't understand why an old prospector
17:41might be joining them on a mission.
17:43The group gets separated.
17:44Where's the rendezvous point?
17:45Oh!
17:48That's easy.
17:49Top of old boot hell.
17:50Just follow the dry creek bed.
17:53As Jimmy Fallon and company try to say their lines,
17:57they fumble through as Ferrell digs into the role and accent.
18:00The ensemble is in stitches before too long.
18:03As a completely random idea,
18:05this weird sketch gives the actors and audiences
18:08plenty to laugh about.
18:09I'm just afraid that with all of his pots and pans
18:11banging around, the old prospector's gonna compromise that.
18:15Why don't you just worry about yourself
18:17and leave the prospecting up to old Gus Chiggins?
18:20Number 32.
18:21Zagats with Hank and Beverly Gelfand.
18:24Anniversary.
18:24Hello and welcome to Zagats.
18:27I'm Bev Gelfand.
18:29And this is my husband Hank.
18:31It's a simple setup that puts two friends together in costume.
18:34Chris Farley and Adam Sandler play a married couple,
18:36looking through a guidebook for their anniversary.
18:38The husband can barely take it
18:40as the wife rambles on about restaurants.
18:42Farley moves close to Sandler,
18:44using his best expressions to badger his co-star.
18:47Oh, hear that, hey?
18:56He eventually wins as the happy Gilmore actor cracks.
18:59One performer moves in closer and the other one recoils,
19:02with the scene already hanging by a thread.
19:04It ultimately looks as if they're both trying to break each other.
19:07When Sandler tears up the book,
19:09he looks into his scene partner's eyes
19:11and creates another fun slip-up.
19:23Number 31.
19:24Dr. Beeman's Office.
19:25Test results.
19:26No, there's no Mark here.
19:28My name?
19:30It's Mark.
19:32No, I spell it with a C.
19:35Who put you up to this?
19:37This sketch might defy all kinds of rules,
19:40logic, and comedy standards.
19:41That doesn't stop all involved from doing their best.
19:44Will Ferrell plays the odd and aggressive Dr. Beeman,
19:47taking phone calls and leaving the couple in suspense.
19:50He then brings in a distraction
19:51in the form of a dancing medical expert.
19:53In the end, the routine forces Ferrell to mask his reaction.
19:56But I can't do the robot.
20:04That'll be $5,000.
20:06Good day to you both.
20:09What the hell was that?
20:10He and Molly Shannon cannot stay in character
20:12following all of the weird gags.
20:14You can feel the writers and actors grasping at straws,
20:17making for this mix of comedic gold and desperation.
20:20There's almost no way this sketch was ever going to go as planned.
20:24The truth is...
20:27We misplaced your baby.
20:34Number 30. Gift Wrap
20:36Oh, yeah.
20:37She's going to have the best Christmas of her flip in life.
20:41I hope so.
20:42She's pretty special.
20:43Oh, I know she will, sir.
20:45That is my Christmas guarantee.
20:48Oh, ow.
20:50Oh, sugar. Are you okay?
20:51Yeah, just a little paper cut.
20:54This might not be the first SNL sketch with lots of blood,
20:57but few ever go this wrong.
20:59James Franco's Gift Wrapper cuts his finger
21:01and unleashes a geyser.
21:03Leslie Jones is right in the splash zone,
21:05with some of the fake blood getting into her mouth.
21:08The actress is clearly struggling
21:10as she tries to compose herself.
21:11It might be funny for a second,
21:12but it's also really gross when you put yourself in her shoes.
21:15Good Lord!
21:17What's happening?
21:18Hey, you Christmas dreams are coming true, that's what.
21:22Let me find my special choo-choo paper.
21:26You know what? I think we good, man.
21:29Kenan Thompson looks concerned
21:30as he stands next to his scene partner.
21:32While Jones tries not to be sick,
21:34Franco breaks after a gag with a fake foot.
21:37She might even deserve an award for hanging in there.
21:41That's what, a foot, that's what she said!
21:45Number 29, Beavis and Butthead.
21:47Host Ryan Gosling certainly likes to break,
21:50or at least he can't seem to help it.
21:52Look, they even sitting like they do on the show.
21:55You two really don't know that you look like Beavis and Butthead.
22:01This translates to yet another modern classic
22:03from the evil geniuses at SNL.
22:05The show puts Gosling and Mikey Day in makeup
22:08as the cartoon characters Beavis and Butthead.
22:10This sends Heidi Gardner into a laughing fit
22:12before some of her co-stars follow suit.
22:15The host also loses it,
22:16with the sketch taking a few pauses
22:18so performers can collect themselves.
22:26We don't blame any of them for giggling
22:28considering the script or the prosthetics.
22:30In the future, we hope this absurd idea
22:33comes back to crack up more people like Chloe Fineman.
22:36I don't know this gentleman.
22:38You don't know each other?
22:39No, no.
22:42Hi, I'm Dean.
22:44Jeff, nice to meet you.
22:46Nice to meet you too.
22:47Number 28.
22:48Maine Justice with Jamie Foxx.
22:50I'll tell you, see right here, right now, okay?
22:53All right, here we go.
22:54I'm about to serve up a heaping spoonful
22:55of Maine justice, you know?
22:57Considering the circumstances,
22:59this sketch wasn't gonna play out any other way.
23:02Jason Sudeikis plays a judge in Maine
23:04with a southern accent.
23:05It's already crazy before the trial gets going,
23:08confusing audiences with its funny details.
23:10Okay, all right, all right, all right,
23:11okay, okay, all of my courtroom,
23:13all of my, y'all shut your butts.
23:17That's right.
23:18Sudeikis' character then issues a punishment
23:20for Bobby Moynihan that breaks Jamie Foxx's bailiff.
23:23With the lead performer adding in a kiss,
23:25he forces Foxx to hide his face.
23:27Bear lily-wide butt across the swamp
23:30to put out that ass fire.
23:39The entire script feels like a fever dream
23:41that only gets better with these interactions.
23:43While we might have more questions than answers,
23:47we can't help but laugh as the breaking enhances the scene.
23:59With how things went the first time around,
24:02you'd think that SNL learned their lesson.
24:04And I'm holed on board with my bush and my tush hanging on.
24:09I see my old pals, the gray aliens
24:11with the big, stupid, fat eyes,
24:13and I'm hit with the realization,
24:16first time I've been on a second date since 2009.
24:19The sequel to Close Encounter
24:20brings back Ryan Gosling for even more antics.
24:23It also keeps him laughing
24:24throughout the increasingly strange alien stories.
24:27It's a fantastic source of comedy,
24:29guaranteeing big reactions from the host
24:31as he deals with Kate McKinnon's character.
24:33We were led down a passageway of light,
24:37cratered by what felt like a big, fuzzy mitten.
24:41It almost felt like I was, uh, like God himself.
24:45You know, I was playing with my hair.
24:47There's also a more in-depth demonstration this time around.
24:50While handling her co-star,
24:52Kate McKinnon does wonders to break the Barbie actor into pieces.
24:55Gosling's giggles are definitely contagious,
24:58as this chaotic follow-up earns its place alongside the original.
25:02Thanks, Todd.
25:03You can sit down.
25:08Number 26, Benihana.
25:10It's a pleasure to join you both.
25:12My name is Adam Grossman.
25:13I'm six years young.
25:15And this is my very lovely and very single nanny, Miss Lily.
25:19In another take on this sketch,
25:21Jonah Hill's Adam Grossman is a precocious six-year-old.
25:24Leslie Jones plays his nanny, Miss Lily,
25:26and tries to keep it together through all of the jokes.
25:29Hill's role also lets him sing,
25:31using reggae tunes to break Jones.
25:33I shot the sheriff.
25:36But me, do not shoot the death.
25:40You're giving me nothing here.
25:41It feels like pulling teeth without a string.
25:44The sudden burst into song makes it harder for the Superbad star to keep a straight face, too.
25:48Both performers enjoy themselves through this scene,
25:50earning even more laughs from the audience.
25:53The pair becomes a great comedic team here,
25:55even after tripping each other up.
25:57If you love Bob Marley,
25:59you'll probably get a kick out of this one.
26:01Okay, Adam, let's just let the nice men enjoy their dinner, okay?
26:05One love!
26:07One love!
26:09I'm kidding!
26:10Only one love's one, you're in David!
26:12Number 25.
26:13New Girlfriend.
26:14Fred Armisen plays this role with both dedication and chaos.
26:18The inclusion of Jason Sudeikis only makes things funnier,
26:21with the two playing people that derail a party.
26:24It's so nice to meet you.
26:25Oh, really?
26:26It's nice of who to meet me.
26:27And what do you mean by it's?
26:31Isn't she beautiful, gang?
26:33Armisen's abrasive guest stretches out,
26:35puts her foot in guacamole,
26:36and tests the other's patience.
26:38Is she okay?
26:40Yeah, oh yeah, she's okay.
26:42She's more than okay.
26:43Now, her body is like a heart,
26:45but not only I know how to play,
26:47and only my touch is what she responds to.
26:50Oh, yeah, there it is.
26:52It also causes the former cast member to drop his act.
26:55Not only that,
26:56the likes of Vanessa Bayer can't contain herself at one point.
26:59Is there any more food?
27:01I need to get something down my throat
27:04to fight what is coming up.
27:06Yeah, you're good.
27:12The sketch itself is hilarious,
27:14and these moments heighten the experience even more.
27:17By the end,
27:18Aidy Bryant also breaks
27:19as the ensemble and props are pushed to the limit.
27:22Number 24,
27:23Hollywood Dish with Scarlett Johansson.
27:26Johansson, look at you.
27:27Sexy, sexy, sexy.
27:30More like Scarlett Johansson.
27:33Good nickname.
27:34If you pair up Kristen Wiig
27:36and Bill Hader,
27:37you'll make any sketch better.
27:39This scene also shows
27:40that the two can break like the best of them.
27:43Both performers play interviewers,
27:45asking all kinds of awkward
27:46and invasive questions to Scarlett Johansson.
27:48This culminates with a slushy drink gag
27:50that might shock you.
27:52Wiig knows it's coming
27:53and still struggles through her lines,
27:55with Hader completely broken next to her.
28:09Even Johansson can't keep a straight face
28:11in a reaction shot.
28:12There's a fair chance
28:13that anybody would laugh
28:14under the same conditions.
28:16Despite all these setbacks,
28:17this sketch remains
28:18one of the funniest of its era.
28:26You have great skin.
28:28What's your secret?
28:30Number 23, Lisa from Temecula.
28:33Let's not forget her baby sister Lisa,
28:36who flew all the way from Temecula
28:38to celebrate with us.
28:39Lisa, we've heard so much about you.
28:41It's so nice to finally meet you.
28:43Mm-hmm, that's cute.
28:44But don't think I'm giving up the butt tonight.
28:46With her dedicated performance,
28:48Ego Wodum sets off a chain reaction
28:50that nobody can recover from.
28:51Her character cuts into a well-done steak
28:53and starts to shake the table.
28:55Host Pedro Pascal can't keep a straight face,
28:58cracking up as he tries to deliver his lines.
29:00This dog followed me home.
29:02I'm about to tear this thing up.
29:07When I opened the door,
29:09he just...
29:13He just brings it inside.
29:17He isn't the only one desperate to stay focused either.
29:20Wodum pushes through in an outrageous sketch,
29:22leading to some more funny reactions.
29:24Even Bowen Yang can't control himself,
29:27falling apart as the scene builds
29:28to an entertaining climax.
29:30Hey everyone, just want to check in on you.
29:31Is everything going all right?
29:32We've been getting some complaints.
29:34Oh, because we black?
29:37Through it all,
29:38the cast looks like they're genuinely having fun.
29:41We over here minding our business.
29:44I'm just making sure everything's okay.
29:46Actually,
29:47everything is not okay.
29:51Number 22,
29:52The Barry Gibb Talk Show,
29:53BG Singers.
29:54Tonight, Barry's guests are...
29:56In a room full of strangers.
30:00Former California recall candidate,
30:02Arianna Huffington.
30:03Disgusting politics.
30:05Lieutenant Governor,
30:06Cruz Booster-Motor.
30:10In many versions of this sketch,
30:13Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake
30:14have carried on a musical tradition.
30:16They play Barry and Robin Gibb
30:18in this ridiculous talk show.
30:20Fallon takes over with his lively accent,
30:22sending his collaborator for a loop.
30:24Robin, do you have anything to add?
30:27No.
30:29No, I don't.
30:31Nothing at all.
30:38The Gibb brothers have never seemed
30:39so dysfunctional or hilarious.
30:42Timberlake cracks under the pressure,
30:44unable to stay in character
30:45as his co-star flies off the handle.
30:47The host understandably breaks
30:49after listening to his scene partner's falsettos.
30:51With the singer trying to keep up,
30:53this bizarre premise gets both the guest performer
30:55and audience chuckling.
30:59No.
31:0421.
31:05The Californians.
31:06Stewart has cancer.
31:07Any time this recurring sketch shows up,
31:10you know you're in for a good time.
31:12Maybe you should get going
31:12before Stewart gets him.
31:14All right.
31:15I'll say you're going to take
31:15Canyon View Driver to San Vicente
31:17and then make a left
31:18and go on four or five north.
31:20From there,
31:20just get off them all hauling.
31:22I totally like that.
31:26This scene lets the cast poke fun
31:27at soap operas
31:28and Southern California in general.
31:30When Fred Armisen's character
31:31Stewart shows up,
31:33the sketch starts to break down
31:34in funny ways.
31:35Bill Hader tries to keep a straight face,
31:37but he's no match
31:38for Armisen's expressive voice.
31:40There's nothing going on, Stewart.
31:42You see who?
31:43Get back on San Vicente,
31:45take it to the ten,
31:47then switch over to the four or five north
31:49and let it dump you out
31:50into Mulholland where you belong.
31:56You can see Hader hanging on
31:58for dear life
31:59as his co-stars keep pushing forward.
32:01Even the best SNL performers
32:03lose control,
32:03with Kristen Wiig
32:04almost cracking up
32:05during a later moment.
32:06Everyone manages to finish strong
32:08as the dramatic revelations
32:10and directions keep going.
32:11When you see the zanko chicken
32:13on the left and right,
32:14take Venice
32:15and follow it all the way down.
32:17Then you're in Marina del Rai.
32:21Queen?
32:22How do you know so much
32:24about Marina del Rai?
32:28Number 20.
32:29Girlfriend's Game Night.
32:31In 2018,
32:32Bill Hader hosted
32:33Saturday Night Live
32:34for the second time
32:35since leaving the show
32:36five years earlier
32:36and he left everyone,
32:38including his co-stars,
32:40in Stitches.
32:41In this sketch,
32:42Hader plays Horace,
32:43the elderly husband
32:44to SNL regular
32:45Cecily Strong,
32:46who's attending
32:47a game night
32:47with her girlfriends.
32:49It's here.
32:50Let's go.
32:51It's revealed
32:52that Horace
32:52has just popped
32:53to see Alice,
32:54causing Strong
32:55to hop on his lap
32:56as the pill
32:57only lasts
32:57a couple of minutes.
32:59Hader proceeds
32:59to use his vehicular prop
33:00to great comedic effect,
33:02ultimately causing
33:03everyone involved
33:04to break character.
33:13Hader later discussed
33:15the scene
33:15on Late Night
33:16with Seth Meyers
33:17and once again
33:18struggled to contain
33:19his laughter.
33:28The brainchild
33:30of Bill Hader
33:30and John Mulaney,
33:31Stefan was introduced
33:32in 2008
33:33and quickly became
33:35a fan favorite.
33:36The world said goodbye
33:44to the Weekend Update
33:44correspondent,
33:45whose knowledge
33:46of New York City's
33:47most bizarre hotspots
33:48was both hilarious
33:49and unparalleled
33:50in 2013.
33:51But since then,
33:53Stefan has still found
33:54time to make
33:54a guest appearance
33:55or two.
33:55Do people still use
33:57the word...
33:59My girlfriend.
34:03Got it.
34:04Thank you, Sean.
34:06In 2018,
34:07Stefan resurfaced
34:08along with his lawyer
34:09Shy,
34:10played by Mulaney,
34:11and wasted no time
34:12getting everyone
34:12to crack up,
34:13including Hader
34:14and Update hosts
34:15Colin Jost
34:16and Michael Che.
34:17Hader laughs
34:18throughout the entire
34:19sketch,
34:19leading us to believe
34:20he was reading
34:21the script for the
34:22first time.
34:22How else do you
34:23explain it?
34:24And he whispered
34:25in my ear
34:25to make me laugh.
34:26He said,
34:27my girlfriend...
34:30Because my girlfriend
34:31works at
34:32Yoshinoa Beef Bowl.
34:34Number 18,
34:35Simon's Dreidel
34:36backed with Minora
34:37in the window.
34:38These two iconic
34:39characters have made
34:40numerous appearances
34:41over the years.
34:42Hey.
34:44Hi.
34:46Hi.
34:46Everything okay, guys?
34:48Now we just, um...
34:49Played to perfection
34:50by Fred Armisen
34:51and Kristen Wiig,
34:52Garth and Kat
34:53are a songwriting team
34:54that just can't find
34:55time to rehearse
34:56their songs.
35:05In fact,
35:06to get into character,
35:07Wiig and Armisen
35:08never rehearse
35:08their performances,
35:10something Wiig called,
35:11quote,
35:11freeing and fun.
35:13Perhaps that's why
35:14both actors regularly
35:15burst into fits of laughter
35:16during sketches,
35:17as neither knew
35:18what to expect
35:18from the other.
35:19Watching Wiig
35:20try and keep up
35:20as Armisen
35:21just wings a performance
35:22is truly amazing.
35:23It's no wonder
35:24they couldn't
35:25keep it together.
35:26Close!
35:31Number 17.
35:32Fernando's Hideaway
35:33with Hulk Hogan
35:34and Mr. T.
35:35A recurring sketch
35:36from the 80s era
35:37of SNL
35:38involved Billy Crystal
35:39parodying Argentinian actor
35:40Fernando Lamas
35:41in a sketch called
35:42Fernando's Hideaway.
35:43I'm in the hideaway today
35:45with one of the biggest
35:46names in baseball.
35:47It's got 12 letters in it.
35:48I counted it myself.
35:49Crystal would slap on
35:51a thick Spanish accent
35:52and interview celebrities,
35:53often getting their names
35:54and other tidbits
35:55of personal information
35:56wrong throughout the interview.
35:58One of the most famous sketches
35:59saw Crystal interviewing
36:00wrestlers slash actors
36:01Hulk Hogan and Mr. T.
36:03Despite their attempts
36:04to keep a straight face,
36:05Hogan and Mr. T
36:06both break character
36:07near the end of the sketch,
36:09after Crystal ad-libs a line
36:10about exercise equipment.
36:12I was at
36:13I was at a Hollywood party
36:15where this person ordered
36:16if you know what I'm saying to you.
36:18Hulk!
36:20It would appear
36:21that everyone is susceptible
36:22to breaking while in the presence
36:23of a gifted comedian
36:25like Billy Crystal.
36:26You know when you laugh,
36:27your little things
36:28go bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby.
36:30Number 16.
36:31Scared Straight.
36:32This sketch from 2009
36:33had no shortage
36:34of top-notch comedic talent.
36:36We caught these kids
36:37drinking beers
36:37behind Pathmark.
36:38No!
36:39Tracy Morgan,
36:40Kenan Thompson,
36:41Jason Sudeikis,
36:42Bill Hader,
36:43Andy Samberg,
36:43and Bobby Moynihan
36:44are all featured.
36:45And when that many funny people
36:47are in a room together,
36:48things are bound
36:49to get a little silly.
36:54The sketch saw
36:55Morgan and Thompson
36:56playing convicts
36:57attempting to scare
36:58a trio of kids
36:59who are arrested
36:59for underage drinking.
37:01The only problem?
37:02They keep using the plots
37:03of popular movies
37:03to describe prison.
37:04All right.
37:12Boys, learn your lesson?
37:17Thompson and Hader
37:18are the worst offenders
37:19in this one,
37:20but everyone cracks
37:21at one point or another.
37:22You try making it through
37:23without letting a smile
37:24creep across your face.
37:25Cause this here is real.
37:27Number 15.
37:29Kissing Family.
37:30Featuring SNL legends
37:32Andy Samberg,
37:33Kristen Wiig,
37:34Fred Armisen,
37:34Bill Hader,
37:35Kate McKinnon,
37:36Maya Rudolph,
37:37and Taryn Killam,
37:38as well as Paul Rudd.
37:39This sketch is a blueprint
37:41for how to make
37:41A-list comedic talent
37:43break character.
37:49The Kissing Family
37:50is a recurring skit
37:51that involves an outsider
37:52being introduced
37:53to an overly affectionate family.
37:55In this instance,
37:56The Outsider is played
37:57by Killam,
37:57and he is justifiably
37:59shocked to learn
38:00that his boyfriend's family
38:01kisses each other
38:02on the lips,
38:03among other things,
38:04with zero regard
38:05for anyone else's feelings.
38:07Matt's right.
38:08Sometimes we get so caught up
38:09in loving our own family
38:10we forget about.
38:11I love you.
38:14Armisen cracks first,
38:15followed by Hader,
38:16but there are fissures
38:17of laughter peppered
38:18throughout the entire sketch.
38:20With this much talent
38:21in the room,
38:21it's no wonder
38:22this sketch devolved
38:23into a full-on break fest.
38:31Number 14.
38:33Family Feud Celebrity Edition
38:34NBC vs. CBS
38:36As long-time friends
38:38and collaborators,
38:39it isn't exactly surprising
38:40to learn that
38:41Justin Timberlake
38:41does a mean Jimmy Fallon impression.
38:43So great!
38:44So great!
38:45Celebrity's playing games!
38:45Nothing better!
38:46So fun!
38:47Am I right, man?
38:49He got to bust it out
38:51during a 2013 appearance
38:52on SNL
38:53during a game
38:53of Celebrity Family Feud.
38:55And guess who was also playing
38:57Jimmy Fallon?
38:58Jimmy Fallon!
38:59Jimmy Fallon!
39:00Are you kidding me?
39:01That is how it's done,
39:02my man!
39:02He's so great,
39:03am I right?
39:03Fallon,
39:04who is infamous
39:05for his inability
39:06to keep it together
39:07during sketches,
39:08was playing
39:08The Big Bang Theory's
39:09Jim Parsons.
39:10The two celebs
39:11went toe-to-toe
39:11right off the bat
39:12and immediately
39:13had to turn away
39:14from the camera
39:15to hide their laughter.
39:16So many great answers.
39:17So many.
39:19They're so great.
39:21So great, my man.
39:24But Steve...
39:25Later,
39:26Timberlake's impression
39:27was so accurate,
39:28it caused Fallon
39:29to duck behind his podium,
39:30struck by a serious case
39:32of the giggles.
39:33So great,
39:34it's classic Fallon.
39:35Number 13.
39:37Frankenstein's Monster Cracks Up.
39:39The late,
39:39great Phil Hartman
39:40was a fixture
39:41on Saturday Night Live
39:42between 1986 and 1994.
39:45In that time,
39:46he portrayed
39:46a slew of iconic characters,
39:48not the least of which
39:49was his hilarious impression
39:50of Frankenstein's Monster.
39:53Tonto?
39:54Bread good,
39:55Kimo Sabi.
39:56In this sketch,
39:57Frankenstein's Monster,
39:58Tarzan,
39:59and Tonto
39:59are being asked
40:00what they think
40:00about things like
40:01fire and bread.
40:02This naturally leads
40:04to some hilarious responses
40:05from the three
40:06famously poor speakers.
40:10Fire!
40:12We actually have
40:13to applaud Hartman
40:14for staying in character
40:15as long as he did.
40:16However,
40:17even the best
40:18break eventually.
40:19Well,
40:19that's all the time
40:20we have.
40:20Join us next week
40:21when we'll be talking
40:22with the cavemen
40:23from Quest for Fire.
40:30For Hartman,
40:31that moment came
40:32when he was asked
40:32how he felt
40:33about a recent
40:33nuclear arms treaty.
40:35This stuff
40:36never gets old.
40:37Number 12.
40:38Donnie's Party.
40:39Introduced in 1999,
40:41the Boston teens
40:42made regular appearances
40:43during the run
40:43of Jimmy Fallon
40:44and Rachel Dratch.
40:45I would be Gryffindor.
40:47You are Hufflepuff
40:48and you know it.
40:49You are.
40:52Known for their
40:53thick Boston accents
40:54and love of the Red Sox,
40:55as well as for
40:56constantly bickering
40:56and making up,
40:57the characters
40:58regularly caused
40:59others to bust a gut.
41:00Bro.
41:03Bro.
41:05Bro.
41:05One of the most
41:06infamous cases
41:07involved Boston boy
41:08Ben Affleck,
41:09who simply could not
41:10contain his laughter
41:11while at a party
41:11with the Boston teens.
41:13Watching him say bro
41:14over and over again
41:15while struggling
41:16to keep it together
41:16is priceless.
41:18Naturally,
41:18Fallon couldn't keep
41:19a straight face either.
41:21Number 11.
41:22Career Day.
41:22Adam Driver
41:23helped SNL
41:24kick off their
41:2544th season
41:26with a handful
41:26of hilarious performances
41:27that all deserve
41:28their time in the spotlight.
41:30However,
41:30this list is about
41:31actors breaking character.
41:33So,
41:34we'll focus on just one.
41:35Career Day.
41:36Look at your father, boy.
41:39Look upon your father with pride.
41:42I see you, man.
41:43In the sketch,
41:44Driver plays an elderly
41:45and ruthless oil baron
41:46who visits his son's
41:47class for Career Day.
41:49Now what does an oil baron do?
41:51The answer?
41:53Crush your enemies!
41:55Grind their bones into dirt!
41:58Pete Davidson plays the son
41:59and boy is he ever
42:00put through the ringer.
42:02Driver delivers
42:02a blistering performance
42:04causing Davidson
42:05to break character
42:05on multiple occasions
42:06including the first time
42:08he's addressed.
42:09I only do it,
42:11you little kittens!
42:13I crushed you
42:14into the ground!
42:16From there,
42:16it's all downhill
42:18for the young actor
42:18as Driver never once
42:20falters in his performance.
42:22Dad, come on!
42:23Number 10.
42:24Close Encounter.
42:25It was clear
42:26from the first minute
42:27of this sketch
42:28that host Ryan Gosling
42:29was not gonna make it through
42:30without breaking character.
42:31Uh, I came to
42:32and saw a beautiful being
42:34made of like a beautiful
42:35calming light.
42:37Yeah, same here.
42:38That being touched my head
42:39and I felt every emotion
42:41in its purest form.
42:43After being abducted
42:44by aliens,
42:45Kate McKinnon,
42:45Cecily Strong,
42:46and Gosling
42:47each recount their experience
42:48with the extraterrestrials.
42:50I started peeing
42:50and one of the gray aliens
42:52slapped the wall
42:53and pointed at the bowl.
42:55So I got the hint
42:56I kinda ducked
42:57walked over the bowl
42:57and peed in it.
42:59Yes, I see.
43:01However,
43:01McKinnon's version
43:02differs wildly
43:03from the other two.
43:04So much so, in fact,
43:06that Gosling
43:06was basically stifling
43:07a laugh for the entire sketch.
43:09Strong,
43:10Bobby Moynihan,
43:11and Aidy Bryant
43:11all eventually broke.
43:13And even McKinnon
43:14had to repress a laugh
43:14at one point.
43:15Later in the episode,
43:16Gosling fell victim
43:17to a hilarious performance
43:18by Aidy Bryant,
43:19whose portrayal
43:20of a boundary-less teenager
43:21caused him to once again
43:23break character.
43:23Wow, I guess everyone
43:25knows how dirty I am.
43:27Do you like that,
43:29Mr. Dilham?
43:32Actually, no,
43:33I do not like that, okay?
43:35That's disgusting.
43:37Number 9,
43:38Super Showcase.
43:39Kristen Wiig
43:40and Maya Rudolph
43:40took a forgettable
43:41game show sketch
43:42and elevated it
43:43to new heights
43:44with their hilarious
43:45fake European accents.
43:46Show Debra
43:47what was in her showcase.
43:49Bad news, Debra.
43:50You didn't win his
43:51and hers
43:51matching luggage
43:52by luggage guy.
43:53It's not luggage guy
43:54luggage.
43:55It's just a bunch
43:56of luggage from someplace.
43:57The two SNL alumni
43:58play off each other
43:59beautifully.
44:00Though that means
44:01as soon as one
44:01breaks character,
44:02the other isn't
44:03far behind.
44:06If you love ghosts,
44:07you'll have the next prize
44:08you didn't win.
44:09Things start to spiral
44:11out of control
44:11when the two women
44:12roll up in a golf cart.
44:13While Wiig
44:14immediately catches
44:15a case of the giggles,
44:16Rudolph manages
44:17to stay in character
44:18a little longer.
44:19You'll be a rough
44:20swinger with this.
44:21Little girls
44:22matching golf clubs
44:23by golf club guys.
44:25For?
44:30Unfortunately,
44:31the same cannot be said
44:32for Bill Hader
44:33who has to hide
44:34behind his hands
44:35to contain his laughter.
44:36The whole thing
44:37culminates with
44:37a still laughing wig
44:38crashing through the set
44:39in a golf cart.
44:40Seriously?
44:41How do they come up
44:42with this stuff?
44:43It's always time
44:44for all of our
44:44breakfast!
44:49Number 8.
44:50Lava's in the hot tub.
44:52Surprise, surprise.
44:53A sketch featuring
44:54Will Ferrell
44:55and Jimmy Fallon
44:56ended in multiple
44:57people breaking character.
44:58Barbara, what brings
44:59you to the prestigious
45:00well-jale-arms?
45:02The usual
45:03quiet strolls,
45:05family-style dining,
45:07archery.
45:07This iconic bit
45:08saw Ferrell
45:09and Rachel Dratch
45:10playing overly
45:10affectionate lovers
45:11soaking in a hot tub
45:12and trying to play
45:13matchmaker to Fallon
45:14and host Drew Barrymore.
45:16Dave.
45:17Dave.
45:19Dave.
45:21David.
45:24Well, as you can
45:25probably glean from
45:26Ferrell's ridiculous
45:27costume, it didn't
45:28take long before
45:29everybody was on the
45:29verge of a full-on
45:30meltdown.
45:31Barbara Hernandez
45:34is the top
45:35female archer
45:37in the northeast
45:37division.
45:39That's unbelievable.
45:41Tack on the fact
45:42that Ferrell later
45:43admitted that the goal
45:44was to, quote,
45:45make Jimmy Fallon
45:46laugh, and you have
45:47the recipe for a
45:47sketch that's
45:48guaranteed to have
45:49multiple broken
45:50characters.
45:50Need more proof that
45:51Ferrell is a character
45:52breaking machine?
45:53Check out his
45:54short shorts for the
45:55USA clip.
45:56You are welcome.
45:57I guess what it
45:59all comes down to
46:00is that the angle
46:02of my dangle
46:04is inversely
46:05proportional to
46:06the heat of my
46:06meat, right?
46:09Number 7.
46:10Right to Extreme
46:11Stupidity.
46:12In this iconic
46:13sketch, SNL legend
46:15Gilda Radner and
46:16host Candace Bergen
46:17prove that breaking
46:18character is as easy
46:19as flubbing a
46:20single line of
46:21dialogue.
46:21You're not too
46:22bright, are you,
46:23Fern?
46:24I mean,
46:26whatever your name
46:27was.
46:28The slip-up
46:29occurs when Bergen
46:30accidentally refers
46:31to Radner as
46:32Fern, which is
46:33actually the name
46:34of Bergen's
46:34character.
46:35While Bergen
46:36attempts to
46:36rectify her
46:37mistake, Radner
46:38uses her trademark
46:39wit to destroy
46:40her, quipping
46:41We all can't be
46:43brainy like
46:43Fern here.
46:46At this point,
46:47all pretense of
46:48finishing the
46:48sketches planned
46:49has gone out
46:50the window, as
46:51both women are
46:52dying of laughter.
46:53Extremely stupid
46:54people are
46:55discriminated against
46:56all the time.
46:57And I should know,
46:59and so should
46:59Fern, because we
47:00are.
47:02It's moments
47:03like this that
47:03make SNL so
47:04much fun to
47:05watch.
47:08Debbie Downer
47:09is one of the
47:10funniest characters
47:11in SNL's
47:11prestigious repertoire.
47:13Brilliantly
47:13brought to life
47:14by Rachel Dratch,
47:15Debbie can
47:15instantly transform
47:16any situation
47:17into a total
47:18bummer, for the
47:19other characters
47:19that is.
47:20Roy of
47:21Siegfried and
47:22Roy?
47:22He was attacked
47:24by his own
47:24tiger and suffered
47:25devastating injuries.
47:27What?
47:28What?
47:33As far as
47:33the audience,
47:34cast members,
47:35and viewers at
47:35home are
47:36concerned, she
47:37is a riot.
47:38One of her most
47:39famous appearances
47:39occurred at
47:40Disney World,
47:40where she's
47:41somehow managed
47:42to ruin the
47:42happiest place
47:43on earth with
47:44her depressing
47:44anecdotes.
47:45While Fallon
47:46breaks first,
47:47shocker, Dratch
47:48is not far
47:49behind.
47:49I can't have
47:50children.
47:55This inevitably
47:56caused the
47:56whole table to
47:57crack up.
47:57Horatio Sanz
47:58cries, and
47:59Lindsay Lohan
48:00bangs the
48:00table in a
48:01fit of laughter.
48:02All the
48:02while, Dratch
48:03can barely
48:04keep it
48:04together.
48:05Number 5.
48:06Cork Soakers
48:07In this
48:08hilarious sketch
48:09from 2004,
48:10host slash
48:10musical guest
48:11Janet Jackson
48:12visits a
48:12winery and
48:13learns how
48:14to soak
48:14corks from
48:15a group
48:15of Italian
48:16winemakers.
48:17The scene
48:18is littered
48:18with double
48:19entendres meant
48:20to have
48:20viewers in
48:20stitches.
48:21As you
48:22can see,
48:22we are
48:22soaking
48:23all the
48:23corks in
48:24this room
48:24right now.
48:25These three
48:26guys right
48:26here are
48:27some of
48:27the most
48:27talented
48:28corks
48:28soakers.
48:29However,
48:29as the
48:30writers probably
48:30assumed when
48:31they penned
48:31this side-splittingly
48:32funny sketch,
48:33it was the
48:34actors who
48:34were laughing
48:35harder than
48:35anyone.
48:36So how
48:37did you learn
48:38to soak
48:38corks?
48:41Soak
48:42corks.
48:42With giggles
48:43emanating from
48:44all corners of
48:45the set,
48:45Jackson can
48:46barely get her
48:47lines out,
48:47and honestly,
48:48we feel
48:49for her.
48:59However,
49:00the biggest
49:00surprise was
49:01that perpetual
49:02character breaker
49:03Jimmy Fallon
49:03stayed composed
49:04throughout the
49:04entire sketch.
49:09Few comedians
49:10are as revered
49:11as the late,
49:12great Chris Farley.
49:13He could make
49:14anyone break
49:14with his unique
49:15brand of physical
49:16humor,
49:16and often did.
49:1835 years old,
49:20I am divorced,
49:22and I live
49:23in a van
49:24down by the river.
49:27While he has
49:28a slew of
49:29iconic SNL
49:29characters,
49:30you'd be hard
49:31pressed to put
49:31any of them
49:32above Matt Foley,
49:33motivational speaker.
49:34Brian,
49:36from what I've
49:37heard,
49:38you're using
49:39your paper
49:39not for writing,
49:41but for rolling
49:42doobies.
49:43In the character's
49:44first Saturday
49:45Night Live
49:46appearance,
49:46Farley managed
49:47to break host
49:48Christina Applegate
49:49and SNL regular
49:50David Spade
49:50in seconds
49:51with his
49:51over-the-top
49:52performance,
49:53which included
49:53hoisting Spade
49:54into the air
49:55and warning the
49:56teens about
49:57ending up like him.
49:58He broke
49:58everyone else
49:59the moment he
50:00screamed,
50:00I'm sick and tired
50:02of living
50:02in a van
50:03down by the river!
50:05Number 3.
50:06Jeffrey's
50:07In this 2001
50:08sketch,
50:09host Sean Hayes
50:10joined Jimmy Fallon
50:10and Will Ferrell
50:11in their Jeffrey's
50:12sketch,
50:12which sees the
50:13three men playing
50:14retail workers
50:15at a high-end
50:15clothing store.
50:16Yeah, look,
50:17we don't carry diesel.
50:18We work at Jeffrey's.
50:19We read Italian Vogue.
50:20It's our deal.
50:22The gag involves
50:22them being extremely
50:23rude and condescending
50:24to customers
50:25who they deem
50:26unstylish.
50:27True to form,
50:28Fallon is laughing
50:29before the skit
50:30even begins.
50:31This is a genuine
50:32Looney Tunes jacket.
50:40Hayes breaks
50:41shortly thereafter
50:41and for the rest
50:42of the sketch,
50:43the two men
50:44can barely contain
50:44their laughter
50:45for more than
50:45a few seconds.
50:46Once Will Ferrell
50:48appears on a
50:48motorized wheelchair,
50:49this sketch
50:50is over and done with.
50:52We're going to
50:52the Dolce & Gabbana show.
50:54How fast can you
50:54have your bags
50:55packed for Mirage?
51:02Oddly enough,
51:03this isn't the
51:04first time
51:04a clothing-based
51:05sketch involving
51:06Horatio Sands
51:07and Jimmy Fallon
51:07devolved into
51:08one giant
51:09character break
51:09session.
51:10We give you
51:11The Leatherman.
51:12Always treat
51:13the customers
51:13with...
51:17Makes no sense
51:18really.
51:19Number 2.
51:20More Cowbell.
51:21Featuring vets
51:22like Will Ferrell,
51:23Jimmy Fallon,
51:24Chris Kattan,
51:25Chris Parnell,
51:26and Horatio Sands,
51:27not to mention
51:28the indomitable
51:29Christopher Walken,
51:30More Cowbell
51:30is the stuff
51:31of sketch comedy
51:32legend,
51:33and was so
51:34the second
51:34it began to air.
51:35Are you sure
51:36that was sounding
51:36okay?
51:37I'll be honest,
51:38fellas,
51:38it was sounding
51:39great,
51:39but I could've
51:41used a little
51:41more cowbell.
51:45The cast
51:45plays Blue Oyster
51:46Cult,
51:47while guest
51:47Walken
51:48portrays record
51:48producer Bruce
51:49Dickinson,
51:50a man who has
51:51a fever for
51:51More Cowbell.
51:52Watching Ferrell
51:53gesticulate all
51:54over the room
51:54in a shirt
51:55that is way,
51:56way,
51:56way too small
51:57is absolutely
51:58side-splitting.
51:59I'd be doing
52:00myself a disservice
52:01and every member
52:03of this band
52:03if I didn't perform
52:04the hell out of this.
52:05Walken breaks,
52:06Catan breaks,
52:07Sands breaks,
52:08Fallon breaks,
52:09even Ferrell breaks.
52:11In the pantheon
52:11of SNL's worst
52:12or best character breaks,
52:14this one takes the cake,
52:16or as the case may be,
52:17the cowbell.
52:18Number one,
52:19Stefan on Halloween.
52:21You all knew
52:22Stefan would be back
52:23at number one.
52:23In this all-time moment,
52:25fan-favorite Stefan
52:26stops by Weekend Update
52:27to advise partygoers
52:29on where to find
52:29some not-so-family fun
52:31on Halloween.
52:32Located in an abandoned
52:34white fish factory
52:35in Little Israel.
52:37Bill Hader breaks
52:38character numerous times,
52:39something he'd replicate
52:40in an autumn-themed
52:41appearance a couple
52:42of years later.
52:43Needless to say,
52:44this place has everything.
52:45Skunks,
52:46K-Fobs,
52:47Cookie Crisp,
52:49Dan Cortez.
52:52As one YouTube
52:53commenter points out,
52:54it makes you wonder
52:55whether Hader developed
52:56Stefan's signature
52:57hand-over-mouth quirk
52:58as a way to hide
52:59his constant giggling.
53:01Well, they have
53:01a Jewish Dracula.
53:03Oh, what's his name?
53:04Sidney Applebaum.
53:08Throughout the clip,
53:10Hader finds himself
53:10unable to speak,
53:12overcome by laughter.
53:13And while Seth Meyers
53:14does his best
53:15to remain composed,
53:16he is far from invincible
53:18when it comes to
53:18keeping a straight face.
53:19You know you've come up
53:20with comedic gold
53:21when Hader is crying
53:22tears of laughter.
53:24Enjoy, folks!
53:25Did we forget
53:26another funny break
53:27in SNL history?
