I’m only in my mid-40s, but I remember in the Dana Carvey days that if an actor broke character every once in a while, it was funny. This is 6 MINUTES STRAIGHT. And these aren’t bad actors. Bill Hader was terrific on Curb Your Enthusiasm in 3 different roles that’d make Peter Sellers or Eddie Murphy proud. It’s not the actors. It’s the audience.

The other one who could never stay in character was Jimmy Fallon. Watching him in scenes with Will Ferrell was hilarious because Will would rarely - if ever - break character and that just made Jimmy cracking up that much more funny.

I love Bill Hader. That dude is just having fun at life.

Many have cracked up during scenes on SNL, but none have completely lost it like Bill Hader. The shaking shoulders, the eyes squeezed shut and pouring tears, the mouth full of teeth. It was a sight to behold.

I like when Fred starts cracking but still tries to keep talking even when no air is moving out of his lungs

Bill Hader is the best character breaker. F’ ing up is hysterical. 😆😆😆

Bill Hader is priceless. He’s one of THE truly funny cast members this show has ever had.

One thing to remember. True laughter is involuntary. You cant fight it. Its awesome to see just how human these actors are.

The absolute best one of people breaking character on SNL is when Lindsay Lohan hosted and they did the Debbie downer skit at Disney World. Literally everyone broke. I die laughing everytime I watch that 🤣🤣🤣

I find it amazing too when new/guest cast try to keep the script rolling with a straight face whilst the original cast break character. 😂
