Fred trying as hard as possible not to laugh is EVERYTHING

[@tinajeppesen5948]

That's why I keep watching lmao check out the dress rehearsal ones they laugh more lolz

[@sarah_b_555]

Oh, oh... Yet when young Jimmy does it, suddenly it's the bane of everyone's existence.

[@skybluemarshall]

@@unbornturnip327 Sorry, I realize now, that my comment was way out of context. You would need to read the hundreds of negative and hateful comments about Jimmy Fallon, that I have been reading for months to understand where my rant came from. It took me a while to figure out why, all of a sudden, everyone seems to hate Fallon's guts. The commentators finally revealed their true motives. Politics. They don't care if Jimmy's funny or not. They hate his politics, therefore they hate him. Americans now hate their lives so much, that at they have become obsessed with politics as a distraction from what's really important and it's tiring me out. I could have just said that. I deleted my original comment.

Your sense of humor is great.

[@PrimoPete]

I love it when Fred and Bill are in a skit, they always try to break each other and the skit becomes even more funnier.

[@robertchavez8759]

So true

[@SoulDaddy33]

"even more funnier" ... seriously? Like, what public school did you not go to, Stuart?

[@chuzzwozzer]

SoulDaddy33 why don’t you get back on the 405 north, take a right down Ventura and let if dump you off on Mulholland WHERE YOU BELONG SOULDADDY33!!

[@marqueshawalker6633]

OMG AWESOME!!!!!

[@yammmit]

Primordial Pete even funnier*

[@Stash_box]

Who else just likes to say "The Caaalifornians" In Bill Haders voice??

[@AyAy008]

🙋‍♂️

[@KrisKomar]

That's Fred Armisen that says it like that.

[@Jiggerjaw]

@@KrisKomar definitely not correct.

[@milimaximus1624]

Yeah, it's my new ringtone

[@zyzor]

I say it with bill hader’s dateline Morrison voice. It’s way funnier and creepier

[@Ciclopea2]

Fred kept cracking up through the whole thing, freakin hilarious XD

[@mistygarcia9927]

I love when he does

[@weijohn24]

David G. There's always gotta be a dick

[@piscesfinds]

@@mistygarcia9927 so do I, he rarely breaks character 😂

[@sarah_b_555]

Yeah but when Jimmy Fallon does it everyone's cursing him.

[@shawningram6349]

THIS could definitely be a feature length movie

[@snicker12]

*should

[@crimeandpunishment1130]

Indeed, please!

[@STARMAN-uz5jt]

agreed

[@yeahsteeeve]

You'd get sick of it after 20 minutes guaranteed.

[@bradwooldidge6979]

I think it would totally work!

[@forasec]

I love this recurring skit they did. I miss it and want it back ! bring Fred and Bill back!

[@jasonlim7901]

yeah!

[@JEMurl]

Forasec:?.....euh...what are you doing here??...??

[@shawningram6349]

Fred and Bill were TWO huge talents! They were so versatile and always funny in my opinion

[@shack8110]

I love how the guy at 5:04 is just waiting for the guy to finish talking as if nothing strange is happening. XD

[@justy256]

Fred was uncharacteristically crack-up-able in this one. Normally he does the cracking! (To Bill Hader, mostly)

[@MyPronounsISwhom]

I was so surprised and pleasantly surprised too

[@es0strefis]

"oyydewiiiyynn whatttyuuu doin hewere ?"

[@TheUniverseOfMine]

I've watched all the Californians' skit. I NEED MORE!

[@varmkrieg8611]

Raja Arief Danial saame

[@Elkdog]

I can't stop watching them, if I ever want an easy laugh I turn them on. I like the one where Kristen Wiig comes back with a mustache and a hat as a gardener. I don't think I've seen her crack so much in a skit.

[@MyPronounsISwhom]

I'm finding about this all right now and gonna watch em all and I'm so happy

[@iHeartCoolStuff]

You mean you've watched the same skit over and over with different types of chairs?

[@kevinbaskin9489]

Agreed

[@JonBap42680]

"Jarring?! Let's sit down in the Sequoia Seating Arrangement." Too hilarious

[@vioninnamorata8164]

So in a nutshell, Devin screws everyone in Stuart's family and employ.

[@stevenhaskell9025]

I SCREAMED

[@tonyhaskellful]

Steve whatttttt are you doing here

[@Zephyr6083]

Was that a spur of the moment decision on Bill Hader's part? If so, Taran went with it really well

[@hilaryhot]

I am crying 😂😂😂😂

[@jd32k]

3:37 "oh no, that really complicates my life" while he's chuckling is amazing 😂

[@ChristopherChartier]

I moved to San Diego a few months ago from South Carolina. These guys are spot on with the constant directions! I travel throughout the entire state for work. Everyone at my job is constantly telling me to take this interstate to that highway, turn at the Del Taco. Can't breath from laughing! Why is everyone a GPS out here!

[@shirleyrombough8173]

Ginja - With the traffic you have to be or you'll never get anywhere.

[@Hangie]

nothing can beat drama in the 405 (dress version) "at this time of deh, it's gunna be jammed are you crazeh?!"

[@pwalsh793]

this is better than any soap on tv,love it.

[@targetedindividual7931]

It should be a miniseries or a movie.

[@R0man.Geck0]

1:42 mr stewart! Ples dont be angre. Am in lowv! "Whut?!" This made me laugh so hard for some reason

[@jaxxo.397]

Lawyer: "So Stuart, apparently, you fathered this illegitimate little Bro." Cracks me up every time!

[@rynehall9990]

Put this on a tee shirt.

[@TechNoir-wz5ic]

[@galia27lol]

What did Fred say before they sat down?? I can't understand what he's saying 😂😂

[@Azulakayes]

I love how Stuart specifies about the furniture...its hilarious

[@Talisac2236]

Every time I go to California and get lost or ask for a certain place I get these exact kind of answers... this is so real that many don't even realize it.

[@AdemVoldy]

"Okay. I... won't...?" Best ending ever.

[@theeboss93]

JordiTV79 I currently live in Modesto and it’s always cool realizing such a great actor and producer of the biggest film series came from here.

[@theyearwas1473]

Its always a treat when Modesto gives us anything but drug addiction or murder.

Actually, Taran is from California as well. Nasim was raised in Irvine, so she counts too.

[@nightmaster5593]

I was watching this on my phone when I turned off Sunset and went South on La Brea till I got to Pink's Hot Dogs, then I turned right on Melrose, and kept going till I got to Fairfax, and then kept watching till I finally parked at Farmers Market where I had pancakes at Du-Pars while watching. I was like totally laughing the whole time.

[@shirleyrombough8173]

Duck Grenadine - I just had pancakes at Du Par's. Did you get the boysenberry syrup? I love it.

I'm just curious, do you know him? LOL. I dunno, everyone who is on the show, always says the opposite.

[@Maha.411]

+Brooke Stop +MrFerenginar is quoting the SNL 40th anniversary digital short, "That's When You Break" where Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg talk about Lorne loving it when actors break :D

[@BStop22]

Maha Nawaz ohhhh LOL. I remember that. Sorry. My bad.

[@rudyfat7073]

That just a sketch. We shouldn't go by that. I remember seeing somewhere that Lorne doesn't like when people break. I just can't remember who said it. Maybe Fallon. But there is an interview out there that disputes that Lorne likes it.

[@paxeey]
