How are you feeling most of these are when actors are "breaking" meaning cracking up or laughing or giggling during a sketch. Although audiences love these I don't so I'm not gonna continue to watch, sorry but it started out with so many hints in that direction that I'm not gonna waste my time just in case.
I couldn't finish this, it's 90% fulsome narration and 10% actual skit. Way to kill my SNL mojo, Watchmojo.
The one with Adam Driver playing Pete Davidsons dad on career day when he put his cane on the bird and basically skewered it(which was unscripted) was the funniest scene. Everyone but Adam broke character.

The composure Kate, Cecily & Ryan have here is testament to the caliber of acting talent. The focus & determination they have trying to perfectly choke out the next line, is hands down the BEST & stellar unscripted! Trying to utilize just the right amount of the case of the giggles & their obvious natural talent, these 3 will forever be my fav sketch gone awry! As a huge fan of Long John Silver's, I will always laugh when I go there to "eat my weight in fried fish" ... Nod to the writer of that joke from way back!

That's literally not true. People often break simply because something is funny. So no, when an actor can't keep a straight face does not always mean the moment was unscripted.

Lovely!
I'd love to watch these out takes, but I can't the berating narration of scenes that clearly speak for themselves!
The Supermodel giggles skit was likely played out as it was supposed to be, including the golf cart just missing Rudolph and hitting the sign. The Price is Right models in the 70s and 80s, most notably Holly Hallstrom, were well known for bloopers involving the items they were displaying, which always aired. Several of them are on KZread now.
This must be older than when the "Lisa from Temecula - SNL" skit aired and I can't believe "Career Day" with Adam Driver wasn't improved.
How is Stefon not on this list?
Nothing kills the humor of these moments like way, way, WAY too much Mojo narration. We don't need you to explain why something is funny.
I love the Adam driver one

Chris Farley's "Lay off me I'm starving" but with his man voice, not girly voice while playing a teenage mall employee. Will Ferrell tapping his hat on David Spade while Spade is trying to speak his lines in the Sensitive Drill Sergeant with romance problems sketch. Will Ferrell choosing at the last moment, to wear a T shirt that is too small for the famous "Cowbell sketch" Chris Farley's butt crack coming out during the Chippendale's sketch with Patrick Swayze.

7:11 - "The live curse obviously wasn't in the script, as it broke some serious broadcasting regulations." No, it didn't. Straight from the FCC webpage: "Broadcasting obscene content is prohibited by law at all times of the day. Indecent and profane content are prohibited on broadcast TV and radio between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., when there is a reasonable risk that children may be in the audience." Swearing is "profane" and fine from 10pm to 6am. It isn't obscene.
