When Pete and Zeke didn't interrupt Tristan's crazy monologue, I wondered: Are they frozen by fear, or by a dreadful excitement?

[@HappyMuffinsSister]

They were being reborn as the lizards they were destined to be

[@GalakStari]

And that was the moment the darkness, began to shine!

[@davidmorrison4164]

That was the usable footage

[@thenot-so-silentwatcher5958]

They let him continue because they are crippled by the guilt of leaving him behind.

[@13CL456]

This comment almost made me laugh as much as the video. Well done!

[@sohailshaikhable]

Notice that Ryan Gosling never once blinks his eyes when delivering the monologue at the end. Super!!

[@canaisyoung3601]

Oh, that just makes it creepier.

[@MusgoHBA]

Holy crap, that's impressive.

[@heidimark]

Seriously. How does he do that? I can't stop watching and thinking if he did that on purpose. If so it was pure brilliance.

[@verano8202]

He was trying to suppress the laughter to the point his tears watered his eyes without blinking.

[@Mayakran]

He’s really, really good at not blinking.

[@dragoblaze5]

"I Don't Think they ever really fully grieved the death of our family so rather than face their demons they have they go city to city trying to build the home they never had" that's deep

[@canaisyoung3601]

Yeah. "Deeply disturbing."

[@jamquick5298]

Yea that, shit threw me for a sec.

[@bobhollywood6292]

At that point, I just thought he was hurt by the loss of his family, but then you find out he's crazy. Ryan did a great job with this.

[@CalLadyQED]

It's actually a very good observation. Doesn't have to be true, but could be for many house flippers

[@marcusjones2517]

This sums up so many people in my family

[@gracejuracka4869]

The fact that Greta Gerwig cited this episode as proof that Ryan would be the perfect Ken makes me so happy because this is one of my fav SNL sketches EVER! And Ryan is just so hilarious 😂

[@Sam-mh4mc]

omg for real? I was just thinking how Ryan's SNL sketches where how she chose but i didnt know thats what actually happened wow

[@emilyetallman]

Now that you mention it, he’s giving evil Ken 😆

[@ChestersonJack]

Where did she say that? I saw on another sketch that THAT one was in the inspo, but I’ll just assume that she cited the episode as whole when he hosted. I’d love to read where she talked about it tho

I love Mikey Day's face while Gosling was making his big speech. He looked genuinely confused and terrified.

[@YouGuessIGuess]

Gosling's got a hell of a WWE audition tape going right there.

[@oswaldocontreras1507]

A Koko WatchOut vs Thrashyard Mutt vs Psycho Tristan promo shoot is needed

[@rojax_thevoicetm2385]

That was a Bray Wyatt promo for sure

[@reduXstereo]

He's in the AEW now as Orange Cassidy. Lol

[@johnbertrand7185]

Something SNL should do more of. Dark humor, if done right, can be hysterical.

[@jopiagalis]

John Bertrand Ryan Gosling definitely nailed the creepy vibes 😂. He’s great at being dramatic (like in the papyrus sketch) and that makes it even funnier

[@flala2261]

💯 Definitely should do more of this Its hilarious

[@jondunmore4268]

Only people like Ryan can DO black humor though. The Rock was good too, with the robot that raped children. But not many "stars" are willing to "go there" for their images.

[@amberts180]

Not sure many people can pull it off like Gosling

[@13CL456]

Dark humor can be exciting. A dreadful type of exciting.

[@ttthecat]

Damn "I'm the only one who went to live with our dad." Actually laughed out loud on this. Jokes for us with broken families-hurt people hurt people...he channeled that sh$% too well

[@tarod3]

And I'm sitting here like, 'one of your parents was good?'

[@cursedgeorge939]

I feel like Tristan probably burns down houses with people still inside them and then tells his brothers that he's found a new house to flip.

[@ecdl4679]

Ryan Gosling is my favorite SNL host. He goes so full send on every sketch.

[@scottwallace1]

He and Adam Driver are the best, no doubt.

[@leosanalien9904]

Why not tear down the wall between the kitchen and living room and give it a more open concept with space to entertain

@@canaisyoung3601 The gospel by which we're saved. We're under Paul's ministry today. Therefore we're not under the law of the old testament. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV)1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. And that takes us back to John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. So it's only by GRACE that we are saved not by works. Jesus did all the work and gave us GRACE (unmerited favor) as long as we have FAITH (believe) in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for SALVATION (trust in his blood). That's the gospel. Jesus said, Ye must be born again to enter into the kingdom.(accept Jesus as your SAVIOR)

I don't know if it was breaking character so much as showing Tristan becoming more unhinged. Either way, it worked.

If this show was real...i would totally watch it. Haha

[@alfonsomena8141]

Cassandra grussi it is snl

[@canaisyoung3601]

As an actual house-flipping reality show, I don't see this happening (it'd be too dark). However, if it was a black-comedy cable sitcom (think "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"-level black comedy) about three brothers doing a house-flipping reality show and all the behind-the-scenes drama and disturbing family secrets that more often than not make its way onto episodes, it could work.

[@Lafemmefutile]

That’s basically Six Feet Under, juste replace funeral services with home renovation.

[@ellieragsdale4398]

Me too. And I never watch home renovation shows.

[@laurenr1629]

The Ryan Gosling monologue sounds like something John Mulaney would write lol

[@MrEL91N]

“Well, when are we going to talk about it? I mean we’ve never talked about what happened” I lost it.

[@confusedwhale]

When I was 12, I watched a man get hit by a bus, and had plenty of time to intervene. But I was frozen, not by fear, but by a dreadful excitement. And I just watched him, like it was all a little show that God was putting on just for me. A marionette, dangling before the lapping flames of his master's furnace. And in that moment, I died a little onto myself, but I was reborn as the lizard I was destined to become. And some might say, that was the day the light inside me dimmed. But I would say, that was the moment that the darkness began to shine.

[@bc3035]

can Ryan gosling be a permanent member of snl

[@canaisyoung3601]

Well, maybe not a cast member, since the last time the show had famous people as cast member (season 11 with Joan Cusack, Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Michael Hall, and Randy Quaid before he went nuts), NBC threatened to cancel the show. He can be like Steve Martin, Christopher Walken, Alec Baldwin, or Buck Henry and just frequently host.

[@jondunmore4268]

I'm sure he'll take the pay cut.

[@scampoli25]

Ryan should just be a cast member, the way he doesn't blink while reading the cue cards with one eye and looks directly into the camera with the other is insane. He is such an underrated comedic actor.

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

If you all are wondering why he doesn't break character in this skit it's because it's a dramatic role in a comedic setting. Ryan struggles staying in character on live TV.......when it comes to comedy. But he is a dramatic actor. It's his natural habitat. It's where he excels. His performance was disturbing and exceedingly dark. But that's the mark of a great actor. Unless he isn't acting.
