Bill Hader Breaking Character Compilation

"A doorman who always high-fives children of divorce" is still one of my favorite sentences of all-time.

[@meganfaith4052]

It’s so without context but full of genuine imagery I adore it.

[@dandanb411]

For peeps who didnt know. John Mulaney would change Bill Haders lines moments before he went on as Stefon, the character was meant for him to break.

[@AntiVaganza]

Seriously, Mulaney wrote Stefon's line? Howcome mulaney is so bland in his own standup? Just betting on not upsetting Middle America? I am genuinely perplexed.

[@DemonicMailman]

AntiVaganza how much of his standup have you actually seen? He says plenty things that “middle america” wouldn’t necessarily like.

[@AntiVaganza]

@@DemonicMailman Granted, only enough to form a hasty opinion it seems. So, I'll give his work another chance then. If you can write Stefon, you certainly have an edge:). Thanks for letting me know.

[@arshgoyal6323]

@@AntiVaganza wait what have you watched that's like that? He can't do anything rowdy cuz he doesn't fit the physical bill but his comedy is great

[@AntiVaganza]

@@arshgoyal6323 Sorry, I don't buy the argument about how looks define what comedy you can do. Sarah Silverman is as rowdy as they get, Bob Saget looks defies how savage his comedy can be. You could even say, if you look as "innocent" as they, and Mulaney, do you can make an even bigger impact if you comedy doesn't feel like you look. Anyways, I think we have to just put this down to personal preference. I spent some more time looking at Mulaney on the tube and while I will always love what he did with Stefon, what I have seen of him so far in his own acts is still a too soft for my own personal taste. It's cool that you and many others find him great, though. There's someone for all of us out there;)

[@Nick94956]

The Stefon bits are even funnier now knowing that John Mulaney writes the cue cards and doesn't tell Bill what's going to be on them beforehand

[@MrBilld75]

And Bill wants it that way, because not knowing, makes the reactions and laughs more genuine. So he doesn't read the script/lines on purpose beforehand. Breaking character, became part of the Stefon character.

[@amysprague4443]

So much of this is wrong! lol, it's just a prank John would pull. He doesn't write the cue cards, Bill DOES read the scrips, and John DOES tell Bill what he changed, specifically so that he doesn't mess up reading them blind. It's still hilarious, but you're blowing it way out of proportion.

Bill Hader really took advantage of the fact that this show was LIVE. You felt like he was really feeding off the energy of the crowd. I know he was anxious a lot but he seemed to use it to energize his acting because he always found a way to make something spontaneous about his performance.

It’s Stefon not Stephen. And it was actually Bill and John not just John who created and wrote Stefon’s lines. Bill knew them off by heart until John decided to start fxxking with Bill and would deliberately add or change lines between live recorded dress rehearsal and actual live show! Don’t mean to sound or come across as rude and I apologize if I do but I wish people would give credit where it’s due. Everyone talking like John came up with and wrote all Stefon’s lines when that’s not true Bill and John created the character and wrote his lines. You just know from Bill’s face which lines are new because you see him look like “what the fxxk?” And looks mortified most of the time like the Vernon Troyer wedding line or a lot of the Midget jokes! The Michael Jackson joke is one of the funniest because you can see he really doesn’t want to say what’s written and actually looks like he wants to run off. The audience reaction to his and Seth’s faces gave away something was coming but didn’t know what because they both pull the same face at the same time. That still has me rolling when I think about it or come across the video! You can see they’re both thinking “too far John, too far!” Bill even try’s stalling to get himself prepared because they didn’t know how people was going to take that joke. It’s hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣 Edit: also a fun fact. Stefon was actually meant too be dressed the way Shy/John was dressed. They didn’t have a clue what Ed Hardy was, they thought it was some sex clothing line until the wardrobe department got the actual tops. So in homage to what he was meant to look like John went to a sex store with the wardrobe department and got an outfit that Bill was actually meant too wear as the character!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m329c3mYbc6WZrs kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJDYfqapm7ipntE kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXSUZZiOnr-EjdE kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4jZaKtroq-Ad5Y

I cannot tell you how many times I've watched this video. It always brings me out of a bad mood. Bill Hader has always been my favorite SNL cast member.

@@swapnilmankame Strangely, while I acknowledge that Bayer held the best straight face, I give her no credit for the accomplishment. For whatever reason, it seems to me that she just looks like she never laughs.

The entire Human Suitcase bit is just pure gold: - 7:56 Seth had to compose himself and not laugh out loud because he knew what came next, I guess he had a bit of a laugh during the table read when this part came up. - 8:00 Bill progressively losing it as he explained what a Human Suitcase is. - 8:06 Seth yelling "Stefon!" after the bit. And all in the space of just 10 seconds.

[@CHilla415]

By now most people know that John Mulaney would add things to the cards to make Hader break, but I like that at 9:49 Bill was expecting John to speak in a soft effeminate voice like Stefan but instead just spoke in his regular classic-Mulaney voice which made him break as well.

Bill Hader's character breaks are the best. They seem genuine, and are funny as hell! Other cast members sometimes seem forced or faked to get a laugh.

[@cmc5394oparva]

I think it's more charming with Bill because he's clearly trying his absolute best not to break, but the harder he tries the stronger the break ends up becoming. Phil Hartman has to be the gold standard for not breaking no matter what kind of craziness was going on.

If you're comparing the badness of two words, and you won't even say one of them, that's the worse word.'" "So we get into this argument. We're going back and forth. 'You can't put that word on TV.'
