I'm surprised ppl feel so strongly about this. I've never watched SNL and don't follow a lot of the actors, so I'm glad for the narration actually. Never seen these clips before, and didn't know all of the actors names or the context (like Jimmy Fallon misreading the cue cards, I'm not sure how ppl would have known that without the narration)

When you write 400 words out of a 1000 word essay and need to add in bullshit to stretch it out.

Do you really need to describe the scene that we can see with our eyes. Can the commentary & just play the clips. We don't need the endless droning.

Drives me crazy as well. Same with music overlaid clips. I just learned it’s due to copyright, and if they don’t overlay commentary or music the clips get pulled. Means it’s not going away anytime soon, which is disappointing

We really don't need the descriptions of every single scene

He missed the best one... The Disneyland one with Lindsay Lohan with Downer Debbie. Every single person broke character and started laughing.

RIGHT!!!!! I cried when I watch that episode. That’s why I click cause I thought they was gonna show it.

Bill Hader must've had the time of his life playing that wheelchair scene.

If you didn't point it out, I would have missed it.

6 seconds in and these comments saved me from a narrator when I wanna watch comedy lol

You don't need to talk through THE ENTIRE CLIP!

Debbie Downer was legendary!

just like explaining horror makes it less scary, explaining comedy makes it less funny.

These are LEGENDARY!!!... I'm from the Sandler + Farley era but my favorites were always the Ferrell + Fallon days. With that said, Wigg and Hader were def GOD TIER. "Breaking" character on SNL is what MAKES the skit a lot of the time!? Thank for this upload, it made my night.

Funny that breaking character is funnier than the actual SNL skits.

It was a big deal to not break character. Sandler did it more than the past members, but Fallon used it to make up for bad comedy and ruined by making it a cheap go to way to get laughs.

Can’t believe the Larry David Quantico dress rehearsal was overlooked. 😂

Parnell and Farley were unbreakable Neither would break character.

someone who was just as good as parnell (or better?) at not breaking was will forte. the spelling bee sketch... calling out random letters for over 1 minute straight while the audience laughed, died down, laughed again, died down again and laughed again. not only did he not break character but he didn't even change the tone in his voice. complete rock

That was Pete’s character. He was supposed to laugh. It’s in the script

Fucking love Bill Hader. It's perfect how he breaks character in character.

Good thing he explained everything because i have no idea how to watch stuff

People always talk about Pete Davidson laughing during the name change sketches. He's SUPPOSED to laugh. That's the joke. He's guilty of breaking as much as Fallon used to, but that is one sketch where they intentionally used it to their advantage.

Pete broke character every episode. Thats what made him.even funnier to watch 😂

I hate it when people just start telling us what is happening and then shows us... just shut up and show us

The last sketch is called "The Boston Teens".

why must all the comentators always talk over the clips like we dont understand comedy?Just roll the clips and be quiet.

In this sketch about polish the cabbage was the most accurate accent. We eat so much cabbage it should be our national symbol, along side maybe of onion and potatoes. They are in everything.

does it NEED commentary?

That was so funny I shit my pants. I need to buy another couch

The Debby Downer skit with Lindsay Lohan is one of the best character breaks

I LOVE it when they break character 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Heart needs to be expunged from every movie or comedy series, he is a sell out clown who yet hasn't been proven but is definitely known to take it in the star fish just for his Career, just like Dwayne i love the stiff hard rock Johnson.

Chris Farley and Adam Sandler. 💪🏽 love it.

Pete Davidson playing a fire fighter is wild lmao. If you know you know

That wasn't a break from Pete, he was playing a firefighter that found it funny

Always a fan of Bill Hader. But damn did this video remind me of how hit or miss SNL is. Will Farrell chuckling through the line, "We miss placed your baby" Is absolute gold.

How can we talk about people breaking out of character in SNL and not talk about Kenan Thompson? Dude always look like he's about to break. Love him to death though he funny

I have a theory, if the jokes aren't landing, break character so the audience laugh at them and make the sketch seem funnier than what it actually is

Stefon was definitely my favorite character

If not for commentary this video might actually be watchable

Pretty sure Pete Davidson's was part of the skit. He's a fireman hearing funny stuff, he's laughing.

Yo my eyes hurt😂😂😂

"When Comedians Broke Character on SNL" ...or put another way... "Clips Limited to The Modern Era of SNL" (since all of the original cast, and most early cast members were too professional to break character) I started watching SNL since the first show in 1975 and I literally can't remember one time they broke-up laughing back then

Jaimie Fox breaks character intentionally he thinks it gets more laughs..

Pete Davidson laughing was clearly part of the bit... cmon...

An audience member could fart and Fallon would break.

Narration of the setups absolutely kills the comedy. Congrats.

I usually hate when people "describe" the comedy but you didnt do that at all. These people hating dont know what theyre saying. I legitimately enjoyed you describing who broke character for who

Fallon with REAL laughter!

dang, you missed Debbie Downer at Disney.

I don't need you to narrate every single fart in the universe, right? I want to SEE every single fart in the universe! Stop talking!

I’m glad I’m not a comedian on SNL because I’d be breaking character a lot on set

the maine skit is ridiculous because we dont look like colonel sanders, dont have swamps and dont talk with a southern accent lol.

where's PART 2? There was way more than this

I wish the clips would have played a little longer after Ben Stein would stop talking about the scene.

I KNOW HOW JOKES WORK

5:21 Watch Kate McKinnon "brust" into laughter

I think the whole Dr. Beaman sketch was actually on accident. I recall reading something online saying that either the musical guest wasn't ready, or there was some sort of problem with another sketch, so they just kind of threw a couple cast members on stage to improve, so there wouldn't be any dead air. Go back and watch that sketch, it's pretty obvious that nobody has any idea where it's going, which also accounts for the awkward ending. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was funny...

The Debbie downer Lindsay Logan is probably one of the best ones

Holden Tudiks 😂

Larry looks totally different with hair, lol

If you watch outtakes from Curb, Larry David is quite bad at maintaining a straight face. 😂

Bill harder loved doing this gay guy role it was like no more hiding u can tell he really enjoys being stefian super zesty

You...Vondreuk!

Cyril Figgis never broke character either.

One of the best ones that was not mentioned was Rachel Dratch playing Debbie Downer. It was when Lindsay Lohan was hosting. Look it up lol

When they break character is when it gets even more funny

is there one like this with not commentary

here is a picture of chris parnell laughing o_o

I like how Jimmy Fallon is only funny by accident.

I dont mind dave it was a sweet puppydog story/ joke

It kills the videos with some guy who has to constantly describe eack sketch then barely shows it after his long ‘I love to hear myself talk’ descriptions. I just usually find these sketches on KZread and watch those.

WHY is there commentary. WHY WHY WHY does anyone feel the need to provide context to a comedy sketch in which people laugh. just let it run, man.
