Debbie Downer: Disney World - SNL 

William Fink L

@@willd622 I dated someone that was in his Groundlings group (briefly) and they said he would always start laughing and the acting coach would just make him stop the scene because it was always a waste of time (from a learning standpoint.)

I agree

Monotech2.0 Ok whatever you say Ms Downer...

Unless it’s fallon he just ruins it

Totally agreed...

Yess..!!

I CRIED LAUGHING xDDDD

She have Magic yes yes yes !!!!

My favorite part is when she says Feline Aids is the number one killer of cats then they zoom into her face and go, "meow, meow."

That's exactly why I came to this video! Reading it right now. Did you read Nick Offerman's autobio?

She even said it at that photoshoot Glamour did with most of the female SNL cast members.

Sonny Rose or a cure to mild depression?

JanderVK reading it!

David B ok smartarse mild cure or cure for mild.. you know the insinuation

BUT ITS OFFICIAL!! Jimmy Fallin never said a word but he cracked me up trying to hold character

Waww waww wah wah wahhhhhw

Might be the hardest I've ever laughed for any SNL sketch. Whoever wrote that line is a comic legend. The effect on the room and Dratch was seismic.

@@astropioneer3296 I agree but I don’t think he expected them to loose character. Lol

4:20

@blu Yep lol. Love this group, these were the people I watched when I was in high school.

Was Keenan not an official member yet cus he's not credited on the video description..

ApolloSol season 29 (2003-2004) was his first season, so he would’ve been a featured player.

he loves doing it

I know right!!

Its Hard For All Of Em... You See Jimmy an Dude in the Yellow 🤣🤣😆😂😆😂😆😂😂😆😆😂😂🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😭😭😭😭😭...That Shit Hard for Probably anybody... We All Love Comedy 😆😆😆😂

Jimmy really tried to keep it together in the end but knew he couldnt

@@kaiasmith5404 🤣🤣😂😂🤣😆😆 He Trys Sooooooo Hard...But He Can't Do It🤣

Alfred Cowans yeah even better is bill hader

@@kaiasmith5404 lol👍🏾

Especially since every Debby Downer sketch ended up with everyone breaking 😂 she killed that role

Not denying she was afraid of breaking character but this episode aired in 2004 which was 5 seasons into her being there

@@dothebartman9156 possible it was another Debbie Downer sketch, even though I was thinking this was the original. I saw the interview a while back so I may not have the details exactly right.

@@chrisstiles374 You're correct this is the first one. But to your point she could have very well still been afraid of being fired, even if not brand new to the cast.

She definitely had an interview where she spoke of her fear of being fired because of this sketch. But its clear that Jimmy Fallon triggered it and and everyone else in this sketch also broke character. It would have been crazy for them to fire her without firing somebody else first. This is one of the rare situations where I think character breaking makes the sketch better. I can't help but laugh no matter how many times I have watched this video.

Right!!!! 🤪

hahaha, timestamp?

@@leaf6356 5:05

@@polipolimaui thanks so much. it's hard for me to focus sometimes and couldn't recall that specific moment.

@@leaf6356 You're welcome, no problem. That part makes it even funnier. It looks so ridiculous. Can't have you missing on it, it would be unethical for me not to help you enjoy it ;-)

They’ve all said that they love when she hosts because she’s so fun to work with.

She been dope she played as multiple people twice

Thats a talented Yank !!,

Nobody even cared about Lindsay's part when this first aired. It was Rachel. I'm noticing Millennials are focusing on Lindsay now years after this has been posted. Weird.

@@fp5495 yeah it is werid ! They some werid yanks !! Haha !! 🤣🤣

Yes😂😂😂😂

Yep! Horatio made that skit funny. The tears, the improv with the waffles.

Mine too, like the whole premise of the joke is so funny! 😂 my favorite part by far of the skit, say cheese! Then saying some super depressing haha so funny

Me too I actually watched each person behind to end cause I was laughing so hard.

I heard of Debbie Downer but it was a buddies gfriend. Never knew it was SNL but she fit it a tee. Lol

That would be hard to do, its Disney World, of course you cannot be sad there, its the "happiest place on earth"!

Gotta say though, I can’t recall a time Jimmy Fallon has ever been able to not break character.

Thank you, Captain Obvious

@@Joey007ist I think he does it on purpose

You think??

that would ignore how he was born on All That! he's definitely going to be doing sketch comedy until he's as old as Mavis and Clavis..

Yeah I don't get it. He isn't funny without Kel.

All That?! Remember That? That shit was hilarious

Daniel Carpentieri he’s the heart of that show ❤️

@@SLCtica for sure :)

I noticed the whole time. This is the only SNL skit where them breaking works. Usually, I find it annoying, but not this one.

They did....read the comment before comenting...

That was hilarious but it is a waffle Just a correction don’t get mad at me

That's about where the entire sketch goes off the rails!

@@benjaminmateles1353 How do you say in English? Waffle?

keefriff99 bb

I prefer when Christina Applegate and David Spade couldn't keep it together during Chris Farley's "van down by the river" sketch

"What do you want to be when you grow up, young lady?" "I wanna live in a van down by the river" "Well, you're gonna live in a van down by the river if you.....live in VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!"

keefriff99 yes fantastic

keefriff99 i love how horatio and jimmy just lock eyes and break simultaneously

i spit out my coffee on that one lolllll

.

^

That is what makes it even more hilarious.

1:51 Lohan loses it

the cat meow-meow sound effect did it for me 😂❤

same ​@@LouisCasas

Manipulative.

James H Yeah, I was pointing out how it was funny how she flubbed a line. Absolutely nothing to do with my opinions of the media.

James H Maybe don’t take everything so seriously...

@James H The Debbie Downer "whomp whommmmp" sound should play after every comment you make.

@James H Lol cool bro

Fallon never tries to hold in his laughter it's literally the first thing he does in every sketch as soon as the camera is on him , he's a piece of shit

@S Albro **sad trombone**

Matthew Bennett he makes the sketch funnier. The breaking in this one made me die. Also Lindsey broke so bad.

I have heard other cast members say they don't like working with Fallon for this reason. I read that Kenan Thompson confronted him about it, and told him to stop doing it on skits they were in together.

litehouse6 funny it’s kenan cause he is the one that does that annoying smile thing

Claudia De Kok... And I'm not gonna comment on your NAME either.

You mean Horatio Sanz?

Hogan Savoy I think it's Dutch for "Cook."

@@RobertKekuna ... Yeah but it's English for PENIS.

@@hogansavoy6525 No it's not. That would colloquially be "cock"...

“Yeah, this is Billiam”

I thought I was the only one who heard that.

can anyone explain this for me?

@@alexproulx8431 bill is a name, and William is a name, but billiam is not a real name

@@katiehass5980 yet... My son is due in 5 weeks

Everything came together perfectly on this skit: the actors and Disney characters in the background, the trombone sound effects, Rachel’s perfect timing and hilarious facial mugging, the writing, and the failed attempts of the players to stay in character-all made for what might just be the funniest 6 minutes in the history of SNL.

That's a really cool for a fact if it's true

Well said re the Carol Burnett level.

That makes so much sense cause the laughs would come after or during

That happened a lot on SNL. In the "Matt Foley" sketch the table wasn't supposed to break when Chris Farley (who was infamous for trying to crack up his castmates on live TV) jumped on it. In "Massive Headwound Harry" a crew member added baby food to Dana Carvey's massive headwound makeup so the dog would start eating it!

EP114587 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

EP114587 it was the trombone player from the live band.

They were definitely reacting to the tromboner.

It's Steve Turre. One of the best trombonist ever

Mistake at 2:09

Same! As soon as I saw Lisa from Temecula I was like “ oh this reminds me of the Disney world sketch “ …. I showed both to my husband immediately…. I def wanna see more Lisa from Temecula :)

OMG!!! I seriously came here right after that sketch! This will always be a favorite for me!😂

Yes! This, Californians and Africa tourism with Adele. And Close Encounters with Gosling. Many tears of joy 😁 And Lisa form Temecula sketch was hilarious!!!

me!!!

My exact reason because everyone was talking about it in the “Lisa” comments! 😂

I thought this was dress 🤣. Makes it even funnier that it was live

This skit was hysterical. All time great

from what I read (cast members, writers themselves) it's all because Rachel Dratch (who played Debbie Downer) made the mistake of saying that the North Korean media was so "sensitive" instead of so secretive (which is what the script was written her to say), which she did not mistake in saying all week and in dress rehearsal, it was at THAT point (when it was live) where the blooper and cast breaking character started

@@Etobeeshawn Really? I can't believe you know all that. I'm glad you sent that so now I know more about this skit. It's so freakin hilarious.

They added the trumpet (woomp woomp) live, which they didn't use in rehearsal. Took them all by suprise, hench the breaking of character 😄 Edit: grammar.

Marqus Nuffsaid Nah at 2:34 Fred is looking at Jimmy smiling, he broke too just not as bad

Cept Fred was breaking too or at least smiling but he does that a lot

When the punchline is so good, you can't help yourself. And the cast trying to get back into character was priceless.

Marqus Nuffsaid I’ve always gotten a kick out of everybody struggling to remain in character🤣 Always been my favorite thing about SNL. Adam Sandler trying to compose himself as the Herlihy Boy while Chris Farley rants is one of the best moments🤣

Robert Bonds he's a douche. Let him be.

@TrainingThespian The lines are on cue cards in front of the audience. Why would staring down at the table give her the lines?

Blair Aquilia :0

I didn’t know issues in this

She was so hot back then sad she did so much plastic surgery

Jeremiah Vinsant Truth. She looked good back in the Harry Potter skit too.

+Kate Pettersen i know right so funny

Fallon never did a good job keeping character but he may be a brilliant writer and he's a good impersonator. If he could only stop breaking character, just once.

Yeah...he ruins the Shakespearean sketches all the time the rascal

And Sanz wiping his tears with the waffle!

and at the end Horatios steals all the waffles

yeah that's where this skit peaks :))

THAT was when you broke!?? You must have some major strength. lol

Total climax of the comedy right there

Mundie Sins That late in the skit?!

@@josephtalley7602 Better than Jimmy Fallon

I have a lot to say about Lindsay Lohan in the Harry Potter sketch too. Seriously though, this was right when she'd done a great job in a great movie and wasn't yet gone off the deep end. I have no problem at all with her being on SNL here.

She did great, was sweet, cracked up and funny herself

Then a week later all the others sitting at the table had to get tested just by being so close to her lol

she had nothing to do with its hilarity.

@Krystal Marie It's crazy that mental disorder that celebs get, huh? They turn themselves into these crazy, ugly, cat-like creatures with plastic and swollen lips and puffy cheeks like ex-pro(but horrible) boxers(obviously..if you're taking that many punches) and they ALL do it..so they're taking some sort of drug that normal, human-looking humans don't have access to.

A friend of mine recently named his son Billiam.Its a quiet old name.

Katie what if it was jilliam

@@dougrogers835 omg why would they name their kid that... poor boy is gonna get made fun of for his name

🅱️illiam

My cousins name is ted. We call him Tedward.

😂 Oh Jeez DITTO ...I've watched it an embarrassing amount of times now. Laughter is MY MEDICINE...

Saw that.was so adorable professional 😍

Good catch - what a pro Fred is!

I saw that too. Very professional

LOL I've seen this clip countless times, and I wondered why she took an extra beat before the line, but never noticed that she looks to Fred, that's cool

Legitimately thank you for pointing this out. I never noticed it and love the extra appreciation it gives me

LOL

it seems like they knew it was coming, AND they knew there was no way she was going to be able to deliver it without laughing. it was doomed in such a great way.

Jimmy Fallon lost it completely.

when

I think he means that Tigger character won't stop smiling

oh

I think it is the delivery of "Well it's official!" that sets it up to be so funny.

Especially breaking into tears🤣

From the cast's perspective, just hearing "By the way, it's official!" And knowing what's coming next... They were already struggling with keeping it together, but as soon as they heard those words they knew they were in for a world of hurt!

I watch this clip every handful of months because that 15 second clip never fails to make me laugh

@@aiai-j7i Plus she looks at Jimmy Fallon & it makes her lose it even more. This skit wouldn't be funny at all if it wasn't for the entire cast losing it. I'm thankful for that. 🤣

I think it's mostly due to the timing. She just finished talking about something else, and went right into that. Plus she just said "By the way" and looked at Jimmy Fallon, which made him laugh again. She was having a hard time getting that one out. That's the part that always has me in tears from laughter. It never fails!

Lol and the change in tone of her voice, going up an octave from stifling her laughter makes it so funny 🤣 too

Jimmy fallon knew the line was coming but it was so hard for them to stay in character hahaha

Cinesnatch to me honestly the best skits are when they break but that’s me

just about every skit jimmy fallon was in he broke character. cowbell!

They were trying so hard to stay in character, but to no avail. Definitely my most favorite SNL skit to watch whenever I need a good laugh 😂

I wouldn't be surprised if some lines were changed before filming and the cast had never seen them before.

@@rossinilove i heard it wasn't that but that was the first time the wah wah sound was played where the actors could hear it really messed with them.

@@Roggie249 Thanks!

The bar got increasingly lower.

wasabi_mixer they also said a new disease 😅😅 its a virus but same thing

Best comment😂

Only surpassed by Fred's dedication -- he never broke character.

Absolutely 👏👏👏💯

Legit lol

That’s leslie knope staring at her favorite food

I never realized how little she shows her face in this. Covers up her laughter pretty well!

Something Leslie Knope would do lol

Personally, I got the impression she is doing the opposite. Looks like she is not letting anyone see how unfunny this all is to her. Fred Armisen too.

+Maidros Fëanoron Personally, I think you're alone in that opinion. Both Poehler and Arisen did their best out of everyone at not breaking character.

No hes not. Poehler and Arisen are like Ferrell, they are pros. Fallon, Dratch & Sanzs do this on every skit from the time period. Especially Fallon & Sanzs. Its still funny to you after they do this time & again, skit after skit after skit. Good for you then but it pisses me off. Its so contrived.

+Captain Chinook Well, the point where Pluto bolts will always get me. And, "I can't have children"- regardless of who did or didn't break character, or whether it was a common occurrence. Agree to disagree.

Get in trouble?

​@@Somebody33390She's a professional actor, her job is to not break character in a scene. I thought she composed herself pretty well tbh, I thought her exit was scripted!

Literally no one else wishes that😂😂😂😂😂

Same! Year after year 💯💯💯

Great idea

Agreed

Facts!

Rachel is GOLD!!!❤😂😂😂😂🎉

Great taste in comedy, Mike 😉

Ok, now this is enough. From now on, I'm gonna play a game called "Found Mike!" and I think I will score high because we basically watch the same stuff on youtube!

FELINE AIDS!!!! I DIED!

LMAO!

@@100blackwoman3 “The number one killer of domestic cats” omg 😆

What? Rachel delivered that line stumbling in pieces of all the broken characters of that skit... stop being unrealistically dramatic. The cast was obviously laughing about the situation.

@@redacted2275 jesus nobody died, take a chill pill and relax

@@redacted2275 Thank you Debbie Downer!

@@redacted2275 I bet you are the life of the party

Yea, it seems clear to me at 4:28 that Jimmy Fallon is looking over at Rachel Dratch as if to say, "how on earth are you going to get your next line out?"

Khaleesi yepp... its just so damn funny

I bet the audience wouldn't be laughing like that if the sketch was well delivered.

absolutely :D

Then you sure missed MADtv it's way funnier.

+Khaleesi MadTV

Nice bod, too

Yes, Klobuchar

She was great in Colonel Angus too.

She was totally underutilized at SNL. Her facial expressions are gold lol

Pizza Fish it's a wrong animal in your picture

amy cracked a few times. the real challenge would be getting will forte to crack. try looking up the spelling bee sketch and be amazed how he goes on and on without breaking the slightest smile.

Forget Amy Poehler, how are the other people in the background not losing it?

As bad as Fallon was, I think Horatio was worse.

Him laughing like an asshole through a whole skit isn't new. Can't believe that clown is where he is...

These comments are very disappointing

Keenans been on there since the beginning of time.

You remember him on that show All That?

@@willn8664 I never watched it, but I remember it.

@@willn8664 I do I Love him and All that I am 35 and even as a kid I always thought he be great on SNL lol !

Right! I just commented that he’s been on the show for 15 years. Everyone else in this sketch has moved on from SNL.

Ikr! This is the first time I’ve watched it, and I’m glad I did lol

It’s my favorite.

Damn. 15 years. Where did it go? Into my belly and out into the sewer. The truth hurts.

I remember watching this when it first aired with my friends and we all lost it. The kind of laughing where you can't breathe.

atrain84 damn... 15 years?? wtf

Haha just noticed

Amen brother, always!!

Oh my god I had no idea that this sketch is literally where the phrase Debbie Downer comes from !! I thought that phrase was from the 1950’s or something… that’s wild

LOL

Mikael Dume MDKSKKKKM LOVE THE WALLPAPER BITCH

Please explain why that part makes them laugh SO much? :-D

Just knowing what's coming next!

tokega In an article that I read one of the cast members said it was because of the horn sounds that were being made during the sketch. None of the cast members were expecting it.

Ah ok! Thanks for the answer :-)

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

When did it air?

2003? Idk but me and me dad this episode when it aired and seeing all the cast holding back like this on live TV was truly an unintentional all time 21st century snl moment.

@@ronmarvicsin7709 "Aired 05/01/04" says the description

I, too, watched this live. So dang good.

as all

He even wiped his tears with one of the waffles 😂

Fallon was worse.

Horatio Sanz using his waffles as a tissue is my favorite thing he does in this skit. He probably figured 'fuck it! I can't reach my eyes with my sleeves!"

I was the 666th like...

His name is Horatio Sanz. Yeah.

What’s the time stamp on this? I watched it twice but must’ve missed it!

@@dannydougin3925 They're rewriting and changing things on that show right up til the skit starts. There's no ONE script. Cue cards are the script.

@@dannydougin3925 "Cue cards don't matter". Do you know anything about SNL?

catbatbomb thank you!

You sure? I'd still like to see a clip of their rehearsal, if there was one.

Gonna have to see a source if this

Yup, reminded of people breaking character, and thought of this jem.

It’s like they bet eachother if she would do it and she actually did 😂

I don't think he knew what the line was gonna be, just that it was gonna be something hilarious.

Unless of course it's fallon then it was pretty much guaranteed he would laugh during a skit.

Actually, if you listen to what she is saying, it really isn't that funny. If none of them had "lost it" the skit would not have got much laughter.

Its fallon and its a worn out schtick...

@@trvman1 it was funny for 2004. You forget, humor changes through time. 2004 was 17 years ago, that’s a long time for humor to change…

@@Taelyr yes. humor today has gotten to a point where u add some loud ass noise to a video u crack up and laugh lmao

@@krauser18xwhat you talking about? he has his own show lol

I think he should take over when Lorne retires in 2024. Maybe he's waiting for that

The surprising bit is that he looks like he hasn't aged a day in all that time. Compare Fallon then to Fallon now, and then compare Kenan then to Kenan now. Crazy.

lolllllllllllll

Lindsay Lohan almost imploded @ 1:52

100% agree

most of the time I hate it because its distracting. however this was funny

I agree❕ The fact that they could not stay in character, just makes the skit that more hilarious ❕

peppermill81 I mean, it’s the original Debbie Downer sketch. All the other ones after don’t even come close..

All of the Debbie Downer sketches make me laugh hysterically, but this one is extra funny because the cast couldn't keep it together, making it all the more hilarious.

and starts with "by the way"
