Some of the non-verbal actions are what make this sketch work so well. Kenan's eye squint as he first sees Gosling as Beavis is low key hilarious. Gosling's choice to look around confused after Kenan notices him kept the laughs coming. The best however was Mikey making his eyes even wider when Heidi looks back and makes her probably lose it even more.

[@1talldaddy]

the funny thing is it looked like Mikey was trying to make Heidi break.

[@abartonjr1]

she actually had seen the makeup, exactly as seen in the skit, beforehand. In an interview afterwards, she said the look you describe that Mikey gave her is what made her lose it.

Outside of Heidi's incredibly infectious breaking, one of the funniest things in this sketch is Ryan's acting in the very beginning: having "Beavis'" being SUPER interested and attentive in this town hall conversation.

[@marcuserenberger]

He played it perfectly 😂

I love this sketch. One of the things that sells it is how both Ryan and Mikey speak in a normal, articulate way. One would expect them to talk like Beavis and Butthead, but because they didn’t somehow made it funnier
