Bill Hader

snl hasn't been good since season 20, r e t a r d

[@jayfaulkner6204]

Me too. Very distracting.

[@homehelpheart7440]

ANY of the alien abduction sketches with Kate McKinnon are worthy of the top spot. One of my all-time favorite repeating bits! If you can get through a sketch with Kate McKinnon without laughing, I salute you!

[@Seilolo]

Yessss!!

[@lucaswitherspoon]

It's telling that a large portion of these feature Kate McKinnon. One of the best SNL cast members of all time.

[@Kenisama]

She is a national treasure!

[@ssakimoto7817]

YES! Love Kate!

[@rachelw1076]

She could host a master class in NOT breaking - I don't know how she does it!

[@BlueMolly2024]

Pedro Pascal’s reaction makes me burst out laughing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s one of my favorite SNL sketches.

[@cleverusername9369]

Ego broke everyone, she left no survivors. Pedro's reaction is gold

[@bennymora3086]

Table moving like insane. Hilarious!🤣🥩

[@rosadelctorres2405]

Agree!!

[@DanGamingFan2406]

That Debbie Downer at Disneyworld sketch is one of my favorites, and Lindsay Lohan just completely failing to hold it together was a big part of that.

[@kathleenshocknesse5996]

Me too

[@Desertb420]

omg I love that scene🤣

[@54raynor]

The sheer magnitude of how everyone broke down is the only reason the subsequent sketch with Ben Affleck didn’t make this list.

[@eolsunder]

20:35 you can see Lindsay looking over at Fred to get a cue to do her line, and he gives a little nod for her to go ahead.

[@jodimichelleschoenherr]

❤

[@glndreamer]

I just noticed the “golf cart” in the super showcase models sketch is just a mobility scooter wrapped in cardboard 😂 I think that adds to the hilarity

[@truthhurts3524]

The Barry Gibb talk show is one of my favorites, right along with Ryan Goslings “close encounters” sketch. 😂😂

[@thereallg4587]

*The funniest ones are when old SNL cast members return to host or the unlikely guests you’d think wouldn’t break. But it’s the funniest when everyone else breaks with them. Bill hader and Pedro pascal rock.*

[@martinm8991]

The Encounters made me laugh a lot and very loud, I rewatch those sketches about once a year - still the same result Also Adele's suffering in the Afrika sketch gets me each time

[@jazzanarchy]

Kate takes no prisoners.

[@AlexandriaColemanAwesome]

I think about the Adele in Africa skit pretty darn often 😂

[@jerrybradley8301]

Lol!

[@meredithhateseveryone6706]

It is the best lol

[@gfear24]

It truly was never fair to have to work with Kate MacKinnon. She's the modern, female version of Tim Conway. She viewed her job as being the one to break people.

[@shellyg4851]

Tim Conway made me scream!!

[@LQOTW]

Brilliant simile, I hadn't realized it until you made it!

[@catenystrom6506]

I think Pedro's skit should've been closer to #1, I LOL every time I see it. I also think the Debbie Downer skit should've been #1, but the alien skit is HILARIOUS.

[@boingo69]

My favorite skit was one with Billy Crystal, Martin Short and Julia Louise Dreyfus. During the sketch, Short slaps the back of Crystal's head, dislodging his wig to the side. Crystal is the ONLY one who doesn't know, as he continues the sketch. By the end, the audience is rolling in laughter, and finally short looks at Crystal directly and dramatically adjusts his hair for him. Crystal is too embarrassed to continue, and they end the sketch. It was hilarious.

[@cleverusername9369]

Jason Sudeikis kissing Jamie's arm for no good reason lol

[@tracymichelle2624]

I think its halarious that in the second close encounters one they sat him beside her so he couldnt hide 😂😂

[@brycec5565]

Kate McKinnon can get anyone to break!

[@SokMunkie]

Im very lucky to have seen some of these live. I especially remember seeing the first Matt Foley sketch and the Debbie Downer Lindsay Lohan sketch.

[@jeronwashington1536]

I miss Kate McKinnon, she always gets the host to break. She was really trying to make Billie laugh, and Adele laugh

[@maryannchaisson6742]

I so miss these old SNL skits! Wonderful memories of hilarious weekend tv!! 🇨🇦👏👏👏🇨🇦

[@MyDeadChannel]

Surprised Brenden Frazier's Zena sketch when his wig falls off isn't on here. Breaks most of the cast!😂

[@angelge6472]

Yes! I am so mad this wasn't included. Not to mention how hot he was in that costume!

[@JohnBrew71]

The narrator constantly talking ruined this whole video. Stopped watching a couple minutes in

[@ericluriergo8251]

Me too!

[@SeanCamp]

And I! Show the clips and shut up!

[@rachelw1076]

SNL is extremely stringent about copyright. You can only show a certain number of seconds with audio without it being subject to copyright and removal by KZbin.

[@MarioMVasilev]

​@@SeanCampthat's not how fair use works buddy...

[@jamesmartin9401]

"Van Down by the River" is a comedy classic.

[@snoozy04]

Debbie Downer Disney World is the greatest character break

[@ericd6781]

It's not an SNL skit, but the extended Elephant Story from The Carol Burnett Show was probably the best celeb breaking scene there is.

[@bookemdano7567]

Debbie Downer at Disney is still the best! No one can keep it together! And Horatio Sanz wiping his tears with his Mickey waffle… come on! 😂😂😂😂

[@Tremellesmiles33]

*It's official I can't have children* 😂😂😂

[@bookemdano7567]

@@Tremellesmiles33 …. Wah waaaaah! 😂😂😂

[@nbkhmb5]

I fell in love with Pedro Pescal after watching him in this skit

[@PhoebeFayRuthLouise]

9:33 #12 This scene with Candice Bergen and Gilda Radner is my all-time favorite SNL sketch! It makes me laugh just to think about it!

[@tahnjr]

The greatest "host breaking character" skit is when Billy Crystal as "Fernando", broke both Mr. T. & Hulk Hogan.

[@greilady]

How could you overlook Brendan Frasier Xena? The wig comes off and everyone loses it 😂

[@Silyrama_Rod_Bn]

Pedro Pascal should’ve been closer to number one, if not number one. I fell in love with him on his first appearance on SNL and particularly on this sketch. ❤

[@Tremellesmiles33]

Jimmy Fallon always breaks character he tries to stay calm but that's why we love him

[@teresawhite4913]

R.I.P. Chris Farley, Phil Heartman, and Brittney Murphy.😢 All tragic 😥 deaths 😢.

[@daisy2103]

the ryan gosling one gets me every time

[@BlackRainbow84]

These days living in a van down by the river doesn't sound so bad

[@djCatScanRL]

🎯

[@danablaqsmith474]

Ego as “Lisa from Temecula” is one of my all-time favorites, then there’s that Jaime Foxx skit where he’s the bailiff, these two always crack me up, I laugh harder & harder every time I watch these skits ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@taissalada]

Down by the river is still a classic!

[@steveclark4544]

You completely missed the 80s. The Season 11 finale. It wasn’t a “break into laughter “, but a break of character still. Jon Lovitz was playing the Devil and forgot a line, hesitated and slipped into his Tommy Flanaghan pathological liar character and back into the Devil with Tommy dialogue.

[@lindaheck2141]

I wish you would just play the clip and quit all the narration -

[@lisagillette-martin2247]

Ugh. Totally agree. It’s annoying!

[@02ujtb00626]

Seriously

[@griever_85]

Well said

[@forcedenglish1673]

Agreed I'm not going to watch the whole video

[@mandlerparr1]

then it would not be fair use and would be successfully copyright claimed.

[@lealmelisa]

These are classics!!

[@tinker1148]

I hate how she describes the skits but don’t let us actually WATCH it!!! 🤬😤

[@PadisherCreel]

James Franco in Spelling Bee Ben Affleck in Hermans Handbags when Cecily Strong says 'Your whole hand in"

[@tbecker97204]

I miss Kate McKinnon!

[@ericurdiales8978]

Ryan Gosling was hysterical during the alien abduction skit. 😂

[@twalker0877]

I think the Super Showcase Models sketch should have been A LOT higher than 19! For me personally, it is my favorite character break of all-time! Even Maya Rudolph said it was her very favorite sketch that she's done (and she has made hilarious sketches) and I don't think she gets enough credit! 😂❤😂❤

[@COMPFUNK2]

Brittany Murphy didn’t break character; in fact, she was the only one in the sketch who didn’t.

[@54raynor]

The most amazing aspect of the Cork Soakers sketch is that Jimmy Fallon and Horatio Sanz were somehow the only ones who didn’t break.

[@forbeginnersandbeyond6089]

You don’t need to describe and explain the sketches. We can see and hear them!

[@ironhead5263]

To much talking , show the skit

[@msk3905]

Matt foley skit was the only one when i watched literally made me fall off couch, first mckinnon close encounter, debbie downer and cork soakers top ones for me with lovers and cowbell honorable mentions

[@janiedavis7807]

You mean Chris Farley? Why is she calling Matt Foley? Am i in a Mandela 😆

[@janiedavis7807]

Oh nevermind thats there character he plays in sketch. Whew

[@remyasmar418]

Adele loosing it was pure gold!

[@MunasheSharon]

At 1:49 from the narrator saying "ashhume" instead of "assume" reminds me of Monica's "People have got to finish their shtories." 😅

[@Buggy-su4oy]

The video of Larry David rehearsing the Kevin Roberts Police Training sketch and keeps cracking up.

[@the_Real_Grammy_of_6]

When I saw the title, Ryan Gosling was the first one I thought of. This is my all time favorite!! Glad it is #1

[@twalker0877]

As a side note, Ego's performance as 'Lisa' is one of the funniest sketches SNL has had in the past few years! Pedro added to the hilarity! I hope they bring Lisa back many, many times! And 'Escorts' with Emily Blunt is also in my Top 5 sketches of all-time!

[@meeklyopinionated]

Adelle in Africa is my favorite one!!😂😂

[@aarondigby5054]

She can feel it in her stomach and the drum beats.....

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

Standing next to Kate Mckinnon=broken character

[@gordondisley9243]

Sketch. Never skit. Ever. A skit is what you do in Sunday school. Sketches are worked on, re-written and rehearsed. There's a huge difference.

[@reneejackson6425]

come on the pedro pascal one should be higher than 10, the did it 2 more times, I don't think they know why it's funny but it did so well they kept trying.

[@Desertb420]

I love Horatio Sanz and Jimmy Falon together.

[@craiggie1628]

The ones that make me laugh the most for some reason are the Bill Hader, Margot Robbie, Pedro Pascal, Jamie Fox, and Kevin Hart ones. I think the ones where the actors seem to be really struggling seem to make it even more hilarious. Some other lesser known ones that crack me up are: 1. Mary Katherine Gallagher with Rosie O'Donnell and Whitney Houston: They seemed to already be in a giggly mood from the start. But then when Mary Katherine starts smelling her fingers, they lose it. 2. Debbie Downer with Ben Affleck: They all start giggling but Ben laughs so much he can barely deliver his lines.

[@MeidasGenX]

I really wish you would show a bit more of the skits instead of just explaining what happened.

[@davidlarsen-tj4tn]

Also hot tub Luvas needs to be higher too. Even Ferrell broke and that’s rare. In the distance we heard the pounding of native drums…was it in our minds? We don’t know. 😂😂

[@daveerk6573]

How many times can you get rerun scenes from SNL. Any new scenes especially the first group?

[@suncrazy64]

Great Job. Enjoyed.

[@COMPFUNK2]

I don’t know about the order of these entries; for starters, Candice Bergen definitely should have been closer to the top.

[@BigAngBaracus]

Make no mistake, Kate McKinnon is one of the greatest cast members in SNL history.

[@Sari-ey8cu]

These are the best SNL sketches ever!

[@shanelewis961]

The Bush’s go hunting is my favorite, this is the first time I’ve seen it in a long time 😊

[@rickfakawma4674]

You commented too much. We just wanna see the part where they break character peacefully.

[@tjwash2]

A similar list could be the top 10 SNL skits that Jimmy Fallon didn’t break charter in. Are there even 10 to find?

[@rondamorris3550]

I beg to differ about Ryan’s reprise. 😂 Kate and her “last guy who did that got double barrel pink eye” had him shaking.

[@PeanutwormZ]

I find it so annoying how often jimmy fallon breaks, bro just hold it together for 10 seconds

[@diswhoiaml3470]

10:58 I think everyone broke at some point during this skit.

[@bowwatson1983]

@18:42 BILLIE EILISH IS SO BEAUTIFUL ❤❤😍😍

[@alonzosymalla8638]

Been awhile since I watched a mojo post. Now, I remember why I quit watching them. The voice over explaining what you can see and hear.

[@brandonb.4517]

❤RIP Brittany Murphy❤

[@calumsanderson6741]

His corpsing when Kate's at his bum in the second one is gold. Dunno why you'd not include that even if you think it's subjectively not as good. It's still an SNL host breaking character.

[@MarioCaez]

I wanted Debbie Downer to be #1. At least it's Top 3.

[@aarondigby5054]

How bout Colonel Angus?

[@louisemcfarland4894]

Be nice if the narrator stopped talking long enough for us to hear the actors talking

[@davidlarsen-tj4tn]

Debbie Downer should be number 1. I remember seeing that live and had tears after it. They all broke!

[@bowwatson1983]

Adele is Gorgeous ❤😍

[@janacabenson8503]

Wish we could have seen more of the skit and less talking.

[@LuvelyAKA]

EXACTLY!! She talked through EVERYTHING!!

[@SamaNuttz]

I thought the same, was disappointing 😞

[@tauseefhb122]

The best and funny thing about SNL is you can Break character and it will be as funny as the. Original

[@beckiclymer5492]

Aw sweet Brittany Murphy

[@wazupman9199]

Man I love Ron Gosling

[@quwaran.7264]

I just wanted see and hear the skits. 😮‍💨

[@Buggy-su4oy]

Kimiko Glenn from Orange is the New Black and Disney's DuckTales and Kiff needs to Host.

[@COMPFUNK2]

Yes, because Lorne Michaels scours KZbin comment sections to decide who he’s going to ask to host. 🙄

[@ferncrest]

Would love to actually see the sketch, rather than the interpretation of the funny parts.

[@kurttilling6100]

It’s so much funnier when the narrator describes the scene, than actually allowing the scene to play.

[@TheCandi188]

I'd rather watch the clip than hear someone talk over the whole thing. I'd rather laugh at them laughing but can't with the complete voice over.

[@NeonWrangler]

Kate McKinnon is the prettiest woman in the world. srs

[@seame3795]

Omg seriously talking thru the entire thing??? 😫

[@mariagomez3297]

Nah would broke in seconds great cast

[@eharper7]

Jonah sounds like he's channeling Adam Sandler, lol.

[@COMPFUNK2]

Why are there so many complaints about too much voiceover and not enough of the actual scenes? Is this the first time any of you have ever watched a countdown? Maybe you all should Google “copyright“.

[@SkyHussy]

Less commentary, more sketch content.

[@hithere_1967]

You guys keep on speaking virtually non-stop over the jokes, so (except for your narrative) we have no idea why the comedians and guests were laughing in the first place.

[@mememefinally]

My favorites are the escorts and Lisa from Temecula

[@ferxsniper]

Awesome 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
