hello

@danielsantiagourtado3430 10 месяцев назад

All of them!😂😂😂😂😂

@dengthanchhunga8581 10 месяцев назад

Close encounter😂

@CalamitousMadness 10 месяцев назад

please dont talk so much over the skits.

@Jay-kz6ge 10 месяцев назад

First of all. The narrator talks way too much. The entire point is to watch the scene unfold.

@samslenderman 5 месяцев назад

This seems like the type of list that would benefit from NO commentary, explanation or context. Just uninterrupted clips of each instance

@humesdae Месяц назад

Agreed, would be nice to see the clips as they ran back in the day without the over talk.

@Bethsabee_Sheba_Newrose 8 дней назад

The channel is practically begging you to hate it because the more people comment about how annoying it is, the more its algorithm is boosted.

@menikmati789 10 месяцев назад

Whenever I watch SNL, I think “ I wish an annoying woman would talk over the whole sketch telling me what was happening”

@rebeccamcfadden2982 7 месяцев назад

Exactly!! Don’t want to hear her narration. STFU

@tammielavallee8335 5 месяцев назад

Totally ruined the video

@Poppaea-Sabina 5 месяцев назад

I understand why Mojo uses the voice-overs but it is annoying.

@Brads187 4 месяца назад

The way she narrates it is so annoying!

@FilthTribeFTP 4 месяца назад

Then go watch SNL... This is literally a "Top moments" video, not a compilation of ripped content. A monetized channel like WatchMojo would have to abide by "Fair Use" and simply uploading an edit of a bunch of SNL skits stitched together would guarantee them a Copyright Strike. This is why they must include the voice overs, which meets the guidelines for fair use. I seriously don't understand what you expected from this video...

@livvyb3583 10 месяцев назад

I love when they break character, the Debby Downer at Disney was the best and to see all of them break character was hilarious! ‘It’s official, I can’t have children’ was the line that did me in!

@TxGirl78 10 месяцев назад

That's one of my favorites

@deemontgomery1235 10 месяцев назад

My favorite too. Didn't think they would be able to finish it at all 😅

@PaulN504 10 месяцев назад

That's one of my favorites too. Horatio Sanz wiping his face with the Mickey waffle.

@DannyBkyn 10 месяцев назад

The Debbi Downer Disney sketch should be #1. I was in stitches!

@drewcliff82 10 месяцев назад

Man that Adam Driver career day was one of the funniest things ever for me lol.

@itsjeninMass 10 месяцев назад

I miss Phil Hartman so much. Such a gigantic talent! 😔

@ShadowCammando24 9 месяцев назад

Bill Hader is a treasure.

@mr.obvious1000 10 месяцев назад

Close encounter is the funniest sketch in SNL history imo! The lines and the character breaks are top notch

@livvyb3583 10 месяцев назад

So funny and watching Ryan Gosling losing it was hilarious!

@stone1andonly 10 месяцев назад

Watching Ryan Gosling lose it was classic, and Kate McKinnon is possibly the greatest comedic actor/actress of this generation.

@gfear24 10 месяцев назад

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I'm convinced that Kate is the female Tim Conway. She makes it her mission to break everyone.

@bo3abedsama 10 месяцев назад

the californians will always be my favorite I still laugh out loud whenever I re-watch those clips 🤣

@chewybang 10 месяцев назад

Surprised this didn't make the list. Some of the funniest breaks on those sketches

@nathangayner7592 7 месяцев назад

I came here to write that too. Surprising omission.

@michlee25 6 месяцев назад

That is my only sketch that i never watched! Does not make me laff at all!!

@bradfowler1759 2 месяца назад

How could you omit the Californians or Jeopardy

@otterspotter 10 месяцев назад

My only real "celebrity encounter" was with Fred Armisen. He was the nicest, most jovial person you can ever meet. He actually approached me. He apologized for blocking off the street for filming that I was walking to, to check out the set.. He was the nicest dude ever.

@kenmcclurkin6155 4 месяца назад

It’s not a Saturday without watchmojo making a video about Saturday night live

@WatchMojo 10 месяцев назад

@raw7576 8 месяцев назад

And talking through the entire thing instead of letting us enjoy it

@LokiDWolf 10 месяцев назад

Fun list! I love SNL. Yes. Hader even said that he uses his hands to hide his laughter. Because a lot of times John Mulaney wrote the skits and Hader was seeing the lines for the first time. Hence, he broke often.

@itsjeninMass 10 месяцев назад

In retrospect, those sketches had "Milaney" written all over them! 🤣🤣

@michellewesterfeld740 9 месяцев назад

They are my favorite

@MsWAlexander1 10 месяцев назад

You missed Lisa From Temecula. No matter the fact that it’s from earlier this year, it’s already a classic sketch of the entire sketch cast going up.

@ali_bug2357 10 месяцев назад

Yes! It's so good 😂

@milicamorgan1 10 месяцев назад

Agreed! I can’t explain it but the character breaking makes it 10000x times funnier. Pedro Pascal’s sudden burst of laughter gets me every time.

@richardc458 9 месяцев назад

This video would have been better by just showing the sketch without all of the commentary

@manupeanutscooter Месяц назад

I know what you mean! This MOJO think talks way too much

@brookeflygirl7407 Месяц назад

I kept thinking shut up and let it roll!

@pamchambersconsulting3210 Месяц назад

That’s exactly why I’m not going to subscribe. Remove the “tell” from “show and tell.”

@markfrancis1162 6 месяцев назад

How can anyone not appreciate snl cast members breaking character and laughing out loud. It's one of the most honest moments of an actor. Come on. It goes all the way back to the Carol Burnette show. I love it. They are the moments I've laughed the hardest.

@bradhend 10 месяцев назад

The Adam Driver episode is one of the best appearances in recent memory.

@JewiMacca 10 месяцев назад

Agreed. What made it so funny was Adam's commitment to the character. He approached the sketches as a seasoned uptight theatrical actor rather than a comedian. Nothing was going to sway him to break character - nothing.

@carlosfalcon2099 9 месяцев назад

The sketch with adam driver playing the oil barron..that was hilarious

@Hoglife 8 месяцев назад

I used to watch this religiously back in the 80’s,no matter where I was or how shitfaced I was ,I made it home by 11:00 to watch SNL on a Saturday night

@charlesrobinson7050 2 месяца назад

Word. That show might have saved your life. Mine, too. 👍

@wstine79 10 месяцев назад

Jimmy Fallon and Bill Hader are definitely going to dominate this list

@Cynicayke 10 месяцев назад

Fallon actually manages to keep it together when he's the one delivering the jokes. Like in the Beegees sketch, when Fallon keeps it together despite being completely ridiculous, while Timberlake struggles to keep it together.

@yepitsme3336 4 месяца назад

I absolutely LOVE that sketch! 😂

@redacted2275 3 месяца назад

That one where he's in the bathtub with Will Ferrell, Will said that he kept trying to put his foot in Fallon's privates under the water, that's why he broke so much.

@stephaniel9545 10 месяцев назад

I was very young but I still remember watching the skit with Billy Crystal, Mr. T & Hulk Hogan

@CourtneyHaynes 10 месяцев назад

Maybe I missed it, but I can't believe they don't have "America... Look at Pete Davidson's lips!" (Dave Chappelle)

@TheGlaiveOfKrull 10 месяцев назад

Does breaking have to include the performer laughing? Because Eddie Murphy had a great one where he flubbed a line about George Washington Carver, causing the audience to laugh and his comeback was yelling at them "So I messed up, Shut Up!" which made them laugh louder 😂

@johnanderson9765 10 месяцев назад

The audience is supposed to laugh, so it does have to include the performer.

@number9434 10 месяцев назад

Before watching let me guess, Bill Hader and Jimmy Fallon are in most of these.

@nancymcmonarch 10 месяцев назад

Bill Hader was particularly disappointing when he went for the cheap laughs, because he's a trained actor and absolutely had more discipline.

@Buggy-su4oy 10 месяцев назад

The Apple Picking sketch when Aidy and Kate laugh when the Donkey unexpectedly brays just before Chris complains about his visit.

@mcelestin 4 месяца назад

JT impersonating Fallon definitely a fun moment to watch😂😂😂

@ericdaniel323 10 месяцев назад

This list could easily just be a list of 20 times Jimmy Fallon and Will Ferrell appeared together.

@FlanylShirtman 10 месяцев назад

No mention of anytime Dan Aykroyd absolutely broke John Belushi. Not even the plumber sketch.

@SchofieldAJ 7 месяцев назад

Actually a better Dan breaking Someone was during that Safety SKETCH with Jane Curtain where he called an Ignorant Slut!

@KingOfGaymes 10 месяцев назад

Debbie downer at Disney better be number one Edit: it wasn’t and im mad

@marcwilcox7256 10 месяцев назад

Be better if you didn’t step on all the skits w commentary

@sebomoabelo1639 10 месяцев назад

the californians will always be my favourite broken character scene

@user-qm2fx4sv7u 7 месяцев назад

I guess I just can't help but laugh at the craziness of this video. How awesome is that? I loved every minute of it. ❣️♥️

@Epic_C 10 месяцев назад

#1 should have been all of "The Californians" sketches. I can't believe they aren't even mentioned on this list.

@porchfyre612 10 месяцев назад

I was guessing The Californians to be number one the entire time. What a let down.

@emilyseger1421 10 месяцев назад

Legend has it Matt Foley is still living in a van down by the river

@charlesrobinson7050 2 месяца назад

Touche!

@bentorres4620 10 месяцев назад

Just show the skit, you don't gotta over explain every single thing. We get it

@tesstickles1280 8 месяцев назад

I'm shocked there was no Chris Farley, and Adam Sandler together!

@LigerFan 10 месяцев назад

Not even a mention of Joe Piscopo breaking Eddie Murphy in the Club Doolittle sketch that has Murphy yelling at Piscopo “This is live tv!”?!

@aprilpesold5802 8 месяцев назад

Honorable mention to the lunchlady skit. . Farley & Sandler Farley just dancing away...

@reinab8168 7 месяцев назад

It's great that you included all the years of SNL.

@ThermometerNH 10 месяцев назад

Hader covering his mouth to prevent his laugh is exactly why he does that, he's said it multiple times.

@shanesawhutchison9255 9 месяцев назад

I was a real fan of “Drunken Uncle” that usually played during Weekend Update. It always left me in stitches. Cheers. 🇨🇦

@bLYSfullyhere 10 месяцев назад

I expected this to be half of Bill Hader breaking and half of Jimmy Fallon breaking. Very happy that I was right haha.

@bluezzbastardzz 7 месяцев назад

Jimmy Fallon and MIck Jagger "pointing their fingers" at themselves in that mirror sketch might have been included as well.

@stevebennett4959 7 месяцев назад

Notice how rare it was for this to happen “back in the day?” And how much funnier it was?

@andrewgarvin2233 7 месяцев назад

Omg the narration never stops

@stevens4492 10 месяцев назад

I don't know why, but I could have seen Phil Hartman in the role as Walter White in Breaking Bad.

@TerryTrowbridge 10 месяцев назад

They made a whole song about breaking for the 40th anniversary. Also my favorite break/skit is from Will Ferrell’s old prospector sketch that never aired.

@LanceF25 10 месяцев назад

This list is pretty great. I personally wouldn't threw in that "Lisa from Temecula" skit in there as an honorable mention though. Cracks me up every single time.

@natethenub6595 10 месяцев назад

@LucareonVee 10 месяцев назад

The right to extreme stupidity is probably my all time favorite sketch. Gilda was absolutely golden in her improvisation. 🤣

❤❤❤❤SNL is not only the most entertaining show in comedy but has also become a favorite of many viewers for the many comedians that have made it big into their respective careers ❤❤❤❤

@itsjeninMass 10 месяцев назад

Some seasons are better than others, but it's definitely one of my favorite shows.

@JewiMacca 10 месяцев назад

When they hit their stride it's great but sadly 90% of their skits are stinkers. You keep watching though for the funny ones but i've gone many nights without so much as a single laugh. That's the best thing about youtube - now you can watch the good ones without having to it through the whole show.

@jillbrooks3373 6 месяцев назад

There was at least one season that Anthony Michael Hall and Robert Downey Jr were on. They did one sketch as young Simon and Garfunkel and actual Paul Simon was on and he had died and was stuck in an elevator playing Muzak versions of Simon and Garfunkel songs... And I absolutely miss Mr Robinson's neighborhood cuz Eddie Murphy was hilarious!

@Nrsdesl 8 месяцев назад

I would love to see Bill Hader and Kate McKinnon on What We Do in the Shadows

@trilljacker654 10 месяцев назад

Lorne loves it when they break 😅😂

@cammy85 10 месяцев назад

Here's one of Ferrell and Dratch!! And here's one of Farley and Spade!! And here one of Fallon and Sanz! And here's another one of Fallon and Sanz! And here's another one of Fallon and Sanz! Now moving onto one of Fallon and Sanz! Now here's a classic one of Fallon and Sanz!

@versacepipboy7340 10 месяцев назад

Character breaking moments on snl are the best!! Andy and adams short about it is hilarious!!!

@berosangelica2925 9 месяцев назад

The cowbell is the best, but Will Ferrel with that tiny cellphone crack me up...

@rickleemusic1 8 месяцев назад

I would include Molly Shannon as Jeannie Darcy doing standup in a hospice clinic. She broke character and apologized in the sketch. No need to apologize - it made it all the more funnier.

@raw7576 8 месяцев назад

I was really excited to see this video.... until i realized it was a MOJO video where they talk through it the entire time. Because that's what people want to see. A video of you talking about what's happening......as it's happening.

@user-rv1yo3ww3t 10 месяцев назад

Lorne loves it when they break . The Mr. T and Hulk hogan joke got me.

@nancymcmonarch 10 месяцев назад

Lorne didn't used to love it. The original cast was far more disciplined, like a theatrical troupe, and rarely if ever broke character; it was seen as lazy, unprofessional, disrespectful, and a great way to get fired. They never had Frank Zappa host a second time for exactly that reason; he kept trashing the skits.

@SchofieldAJ 7 месяцев назад

@@nancymcmonarch Actually what made the EARLY Years better than the RECENT YEARS is the Cast never constantly looked over at the CUE CARDS as they had the Lines Memorized more so nowadays they are constantly looking at the Cue CARDS for Lines! which is Stupid as the only Segments that they should look at them are is for the Opening Monologue/Promo & Weekend Update! So nope it wasn't looked upon as LAZY, UNPROFESSIONAL, DISSRESPECTFUL n they wouldn't get FIRED cause Lorne ran it like his SCTV Days n trying to be the USA Version OF Monty Python more so and why it looked better w/ the RARE Character Break.

@samiface 7 месяцев назад

@@SchofieldAJI have often wondered if I’m the only one noticing errrrrrybody staring at cue cards, because I can watch SNL with people, including my husband who watches it all the time, and I swear I’m the only one who ever notices or says anything about it!!!! Even my husband has been like, “oh yeah it does kinda look like he’s doing that” like in one or two instances as if I’m only pointing out that one specific moment, and I’m like BABE, IT IS THE ENTIRETY OF EVERY EPISODE HOW ARE YOU NOT SEEING THIS!!!!! I almost started worrying I’d completely lost my marbles!!!

@tjcthulhu 10 месяцев назад

2:27 I know back when Hader was still on the show doing Stephon, he said they would put cue cards up with new jokes that they didn’t practice, so he would laugh

@uncleleo1873 10 месяцев назад

Too bad we couldn't see the actual clips.

@Iggystar71 10 месяцев назад

I swear I’ve seen this list has been remixed and posted as new five times in the past two months.

@Da_Publick Месяц назад

Man, the Billy Crystal clip had to be culled from _videotape!_ 🤣🤣🤣

@gfear24 10 месяцев назад

John Mulaney would intentionally change the script last minute in order to make Hader laugh. Generally, every time he put his folded hands over his face, it was because of a Mulvaney edit Hader didn't expect. Also, Kate MacKinnon is the female Tim Conway. Her goal every sketch was to make the rest of the cast bust up.

@jillbrooks3373 6 месяцев назад

There was an episode of the Carol Burnett show Tim Conway broke everyone. He was just throwing out random improv and I can't remember the thing he said that did them all in finally

@robertbarnum1485 10 месяцев назад

You forgot one, Brendan Fraser he did a sketch about Xena he couldn't stay in character and laughed through out the sketch

@javiercamacho2066 10 месяцев назад

That's the list? Forgot, Adele in the Africa sketch, Padro Pascal in the steak sketch, Jamie Fox.. Maine Justice.. Louis CK trying to speak Italian. Larry David in the new wife sketch..

Ryan Gosling for the Beavis and Butthedd is probably the best one yet!

Timberlake and Fallon on The Barry Gibb show should have been in the top 3.

@genapruitt Месяц назад

The Debbie Downer skit was is one of my all-time favorite SNL skits ever, and I'd have it at number one on this list. Even without the breaking, the skit was funny, but with the laughter being so genuine, it took it over the top. Rachel Dratch is a treasure! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
