[@Jamessmith-xk3fh]

One of the best Debby Downer.and her friends having lunch at Disney

[@Jamessmith-xk3fh]

Every Weekend Up Date with Seth Myers and Bill Hader as Stefan

[@ramtolentino8837]

Adele’s Africa sketch ❤️

[@dianakelts5910]

The one with Xena and Brandon Frazer. It's hilarious

[@justinw1765]

No, but you did forget to actually let us watch the full scenes without blabbing incessantly like a Truman show voice gone wrong.

[@gfear24]

The best part of the Alien Abduction sketches is that they allow Kate to completely adlib her stories.

[@heythisisizzy]

I would have added. The Africa sketch with Adele

[@bexmccarthy4526]

You’re gonna want that coconut water

[@deoge3278]

Good call!!

[@py2437]

That hits deep. Like in your stomach.

[@Bonbonbon739]

Yes! Love that one! And dog court

[@arrozconpollo4675]

Yes!!!!!!!! And also, Kate McKinnon and Sofia vergara doing the Pantene commercial!!!

[@ryantelberson]

Lisa From Temecula skyrocketed to the top of my list of favorite sketches. Its up there with the Super Showcase one. TURN IT BABY! CUT THE WHEEL!

[@tmbline]

I love the breaks 😂Stefon is my favorite

[@jimmyplenderleith9471]

Aidy and Kate together was ALWAYS magic......the two of them had spectacular chemistry together, no matter what the skit was.

[@deoge3278]

I lose it every time Rachel Dratch tries to get out the "...i cant have children...". Such a awful subject to laugh uncontrollably at...such a classic

[@BillGraper]

She was on a roll at that point. I'm always laughing so hard, I'm crying.

[@peterbell3199]

I remember watching that skit when it first aired. I was over at my buddy's house. We just lost it, laughing so hard. To this day, we still use the term Debbie Downer with each other.

[@Bonbonbon739]

“ so it’s official”………………. “ I can’t have children” 😂

[@Rutabega_NG]

I was a little disappointed that you put the down by the river sketch at number two until I saw what you counted as number one. Those are both 100% guaranteed to have me in tears from laughing.

[@TightyWhiteyTrash]

Vanessa Bayer is so hard to crack and she’s in some of the funniest sketches! Especially Californians. I don’t know how she does it! 😂

[@deoge3278]

U ought to see her guest appearance on "What We Do In the Shadows"...so funny. Shes 1 of my favorite cast members of ever

[@jspihlman]

The only one I can think of where she broke was when Jason Sudekis brings his new girlfriend "Regine" played by Fred Armisen to the party and she can't stop laughing when she says "is there anymore food? I need to get something down my throat to fight what is coming up!"

[@TightyWhiteyTrash]

@@jspihlman THATS RIGHT! I totally forgot about that one. She started giggling and said, “does anyone have some solid food?” And she lost it in her next lines. A classic for sure! 😜

[@thatchillingeffect]

@@jspihlman I thought they were going to mention that one!

[@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd]

loved her think she left show voluntarily but not sure why seem to recall she might have been seriously ill

[@ranger13]

Lisa from Temecula had me in shambles. I don’t want it to be a Debbie Downer type situation

[@ryantelberson]

COOK MY MEAT

[@MrDash03]

Will Forte dancing to the theme of 1967’s Casino Royale is hilarious 😂

[@navilavazquez9481]

Kate’s Alien encounter is so funny.

[@Buggy-su4oy]

Also the sketch with Kate as the psychic who tells Adele and her friends about 2020 where she tells Adele about her adult coloring book and the singer can't help smiling.

[@hollyd.4793]

I love the trip to Africa skit from that episode

[@caliiinoel]

@@hollyd.4793 YESSSSS. Adele breaking never fails to make me do the same

[@art.of.verser]

It's really hard to decide who's really the king of breaking character: Bill Hader or Jimmy Fallon. Whatever the case, those two are uproariously funny. 😂

[@wvu05]

Hader is more organic when he breaks character, in no small part because he mainly does it when lines get thrown in at the last minute and he's thrown off (Mulaney especially enjoyed doing that for the Stefon sketches), but Fallon seems to be doing it to draw attention to himself.

[@Extratexture4]

Don’t forget Horacio Sanz!

[@Kaden10]

Don't forget Pete Davidson.

[@paulroberts8479]

Pretty sure the goal of Stefon was to get Hader to break. Definitely went according to plan!

[@gfear24]

One of the writers would always take out one of Bill's lines and insert something Bill had never read, for the sole purpose of breaking him. And the line almost always included mention of Dan Cortese.

[@paulas2218]

My husband and I were in the car the other day when Don’t Fear the Reaper came on the radio. It actually DOES need more cowbell!

[@mysam4504]

The sketches with Cecily and Pugs NEEDS to be included. 😂❤

[@728huey]

There was also the Secret Military Weapon sketch with Simu Liu playing an Army General introducing Dog Head Man as a super soldier where they had an actual dog in the sketch but had someone underneath playing the hands of the secret super soldier. The dog was supposed to be eating a sandwich but it fell on the floor, so the dog turned down to eat the rest of it.

[@susanrobinson910]

I don’t think any performer has broken character more than Bill Hader, and it is hilarious each time! Well…maybe Jimmy Fallon gives Bill a run for the money!

[@arrozconpollo4675]

Kate McKinnon and Sofia Vergara doing Pantene commercial!!! I’ve seen Africa Adele a million times!!!! My two favs!!!! But I must admit, I have a thing for cow bell….

[@Extratexture4]

There was a sketch in which Martin Short inadvertently knocked Billy Crystal’s hairpiece halfway off…and Crystal didn’t realize it.

[@Buggy-su4oy]

Also the apple picking sketch with Woody Harrelson when the donkey on set unexpectedly brays and Kate and Aidy lose it while talking about the petting zoo.

[@demonbutterfliesify]

The animals are in *jail*

[@FeralRubberDuckie]

I always think of Kevin Nealon playing the bathroom attendant and Harvey Keitel completely cracking up under the newspaper.

[@Mimi-cq4bg]

The one with Chris Farley doing the van by the river caught me. I haven’t seen Phil Hartman in a long time now. God what a shame.

[@FyreChaser]

The sketch with Jimmy Fallon and Sean Hayes in Jeffreys should be up there.

[@g_clayton]

nice list! just New Girlfriend (with Sudeikis & Armisen) is missing, one of my favorites, Armisen destroys everyone in there

[@BlueMolly2024]

Bill Hader and Fred Armison are such a great comedic duo. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@brandymontgomery8315]

One of my besties saw the Shonda and Vonda skit together and still to this day call each other that!!❤️🥰❤️

[@alonzosmith8723]

One of my faves is quote nite with Daniel Craig and Kate McKinnon 😂

[@pembrokelove]

I'm literally at the first example, and I literally cannot imagine how they're going to top "yeah, he tryin to get the butt" lawyer NINETEEN TIMES. I watched that night and it was one of the only times in recent history they've managed to bring an entire cast down... except for when Adele visits.

[@jasonadlay]

GOSH I LOVE KATE MCKINNON

[@cgbleak]

Massive Headwound Harry shocked everyone in the studio audience even before the dog appeared. And that dog tugged and tugged and tugged at his head wound. I think he was just supposed to lick it. But no. Hilariously disgusting. "He must smell my dog"--what a great line in that chaotic context.

[@colinleat8309]

Wonderfully hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks so much for posting! 🤣🤣🖖😁🤘🇨🇦

[@Doomted90]

Fun fact! Chris Farley ripped his pants when he was entering the Matt Foley sketch... that's why he crab eaddles in and always keeps his front to the camera, until the fall of course.

[@DarkPhoenix7745]

I love all the close encounter sketches. If I was abducted I would have the rough trip too.

[@shanelewis961]

I’ve loved and looked for the sketch with Garth Brooks, “Simmer Down Now!” where he brings out a Donna Summer album and has the customer read it backwards…!

[@Kaden10]

When the sketches go wrong it makes them ten times funnier.

[@sophiaisabelle027]

May God bless everyone. Have a good day.

[@bennymora3086]

#2 was absolutely my favorite that I even started to laugh!🤣🤣🤣

[@tamarak9393]

Living in a van down by the river.

[@BillGraper]

My favorite parts are "How can we get back on the right track?" and "Dad, I wish you could just shut your big YAPPER!" 🤣

[@phil4208]

Debbie downer Disney is my all time favorite, if I'm feeling down after my favorite team loses I watch this and laugh

[@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd]

dog court with the beautiful cecily strong is another great one where the animals literally get out of hand⚛

[@Iggystar71]

Ego is becoming a favorite! “Cook my meat!” Bowen Yang just gave up.

[@sheismazing2__622]

“We need more cowbell “

[@yadielenielbellecolon982]

Thank For The Video 🙊🤯🤣😂🤩😍

[@0Imtheslime0]

Fallon is even breaking character in his own talk show

[@Trund27]

The Tom Hanks one, hahaha Also so many with Will Ferrell!!!

[@thelostronin]

Did Phil Hartman ever break? He was such a talent, and so very missed...

[@ancientheart2532]

What about the Land Shark? "Plumber lady!"

[@videorocketzmillar007milla5]

...and don't forget the Tournament Fighter with Haddish😂😂😂

[@hobbs1480]

The Xena the Warrior Princess sketch with Brendon Frazier

[@suzannemenuet947]

Great to see Stefon getting some credit!😂

[@zakdean3002]

I don’t know how they kept it together when they did the lovahs With Christopher Walken.

[@reginasuangco8563]

my favorite 💖💖💖💖

[@Dani-ICU-RN]

Love this😂😂.. I wish there were links to each!

[@Tigger_34]

headwound Harry was the inspiration for Pet Semetary!!

[@waittillfamewtf2385]

Laser Cats 🔫

[@feliciajenkins5041]

Imagine Ms.Rafferty hosting a party with Debbie Downer. Who will make it out?

[@19slshaw63]

colonel angus 😻

[@andu1854]

Fred Armison was the only one who didn’t break in the Debbie Downer sketch

[@margegarland7635]

Matt Foley was way more chaotic then stephan

[@doggfacejr]

What about the CNN one where the cast had to do quick changes while clips of Donald Trump played and then eventually Aidy Bryant's wardrobe lady walks in on camera and everyone loses it.

[@5orgen51]

Am I the only one who has binge watched the Californians multiple times?

[@sharenread8677]

Looks like Kelsey Grammar. The man in scooter. Sharen

[@christophergosnell6151]

Do the top ten worst things D.W. Read has done in Arthur

[@Hellfurian1972]

Chris Farley and I hung out every day for a week in Hilton Head a yr before he died. He was at a fat camp and while sitting by the my condos pool he was doing the skit of Matt by the river and crushed a plastic table beside of the pool and I peed myself and had to jump into the pool. He was a gentle, shy and great guy. All he did was drink bottle water and smoke Marlboro reds. Miss that guy.

[@BillGraper]

I still have Debbie Downer at #1, but at least it was included. 😂

[@101shadeira]

1:00 😂the best skit in a while so funny

[@haithamdana4382]

number 11 the sketch that broke everyone🤣

[@feralart]

Canteen Boy went off the rails pretty quickly.

[@hoshimaruhajime7933]

Hi everyone

[@fromthehaven94]

The Debbie Downer sketch is the only time ever that the final punchline will ever be funny.

[@biancaglezb1957]

I can’t believe you missed the gift wrapping sketch with James Franco. That has to be by far the most chaotic snl sketch i’ve ever seen. Leslie Jones can barely contain herself from vomiting while everything is being splashed with blood

[@nicolemerrill9167]

In a van down by the river living on government cheese

[@jeanluccouture9088]

Came to see if Lindsays debbie downer skit shows up

[@Bonbonbon739]

Dog court better be on here

[@daddywalker6133]

My fav of all time 8:44

[@becmer]

Chipendales

[@alwignot3584]

I always liked the bee gee skit w/jimmy fallon and justin Timberlake

[@batgurrl]

Colin Jost and Michael Che lately break through the entire Weekend Update and it’s no longer amusing to me. Solid list. Tho. Please make a list of worst or best Jimmy Fallon breaks😎🙏

[@thomassicard3733]

Stefon!!

[@tripjet999]

No, Dana Carvey LIES down. Sheesh.

[@fyrecatz]

Candace Bergen is one of my favorite actresses

[@kamirochelle4230]

My Favorite is The Leather Man with Britney Spears

[@andresesqueda2577]

More cowbell was the best

[@RonaldBarone]

You guys missed Adele's sketch, it's the best. I've watched it many times lol

[@babybro70]

Stephan is the Greatest!

[@alexturnerswifeyy]

Lmao

[@heleneb2105]

They missed the Gap skits.

[@19slshaw63]

you gotta cinch it! haha 🤭

[@thatchillingeffect]

The Debbie Downer one should have been way higher

[@stephenanderson1594]

We need Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon BACK

[@Travis4197]

The constant "explaining" of the clips actually eats away most of the fun...

[@Desertvanlife]

Chris Farley 😎🤙

[@denisedehart-vanlaan544]

You don’t really need to add commentary…we can put the scene together on our own

[@martyklestadt6766]

Yes they do...for copyright reasons. Otherwise this video wouldn't be here at all.

[@5orgen51]

Also, Tenement Museum with Louis CK

[@COMPFUNK2]

Kissing Family was only funny the first time they did it.

[@carolyndobry785]

It was never funny

[@chrismascher8667]

Fallon is just the worst...was bad then, is worse now.

[@crazymemaw3484]

Mr. Robertson... samari butcher.....the California's .... sparten cheers....

[@Bonbonbon739]

Timothy chalamet mom Is the blonde background character in head wound harry

[@stevesebzda570]

MsMojo, here @8:26, you said "we could contain our laughter either, considering the dialogue," or something. Can we hear the next "dialogue?" NO. That's all I can take.

[@martyklestadt6766]

NO, because of copyright. If you can't take that, then don't watch the video.

[@stevesebzda570]

@Marty Klestadt No, not because of copyright (it was shown before and after). I used to watch MOJO about 7-10 years ago, and enjoyed them. Lately, they've these SNL vids and clips come up in my suggestions - which I would like to see and hear. You don't notice who the uploader is until you look. You look after you notice a few times the background scenes being talked-over. That's when you notice the uploader. Believe you me, I didn't watch any further after I was disappointed a few times (prob that time-mark - or a few seconds later). Used to enjoy these, now I'm older and don't. I guess I'm getting nostalgic in my old age. [I missed it being MOJO though - so I got sucked-in] Thanks though.

[@stevesebzda570]

@Marty Klestadt I think I gave MsMojo a suggestion on this one. [If it's the one with Gilda Radnor - she was Gene Wilder's girlfriend or luv'd one, if you didn't know] That suggestion was, Pause the video as you do your talking. You can add 5-10 minutes to your video length. [AND see and hear all of the clip(s)]. A suggestion though, so I was helping in nature. Thanks again. Cheers (

[@stevesebzda570]

Cheers though . 😂👍🏻👍🏼

[@stevesebzda570]

@Marty Klestadt I'm rethinking the matter. Maybe it was because of "copyright." You can show any scene you want as long as you muddle it (talk over it) every few seconds. And "Gilda Radnor," (that might seem to be a safe place to muddle (talk over), some just happen to remember her m [I don't know.. 1/5th or higher - and I wanted to hear her talking off-script -- possibly talking about Candice Bergen cracking up] Now that I remember though, Gilda Radnor always stuck to the script (maybe with occasional smirks or smiles - but she always stuck to the wording of the script). Very professional in other words. So, it was fine talking over her there (there was only going to be facial expressions) But, I imagine some don't know that (this would be the 4/5s or whatever higher) [All that was ealier though (when Candice Bergen was on the couch) ] Here though (@the time-mark above), MsMojo said: You wouldn't be able to contain you laughter either, considering the dialogue," a lot expect to hear that next dialogue . Perhaps, MsMojo was referring to the previous dialogue. To just say "considering the dialogue," some expect to hear "that [next] dialogue." Maybe MsMojo should have said "previous," I don't know. Thank though.. [It's late - excuse the typos..] 😁

[@ryanbtryan651]

Theres so much more that didn't make the list.
