    The fact that they would change the script on the Stefan bits without telling him is evil geinus
  • @iBridgee
    The best SNL sketches are often the ones where things go hilariously off the rails.
  • @AdamG1983
    Fun fact for the Matt Foley sketch: Only Chris Farley knew about the breakaway table gag. Everyone in the scene's shocked reaction was genuine.
  • @VonSley
    Cant wait to see the Beavis and Butthead sketch on future lists like these. They must have not shown heidi what they looked like before 😂😂😭. My favorite sketch in a minute
  • The Barry Gibbs Talk Show series is the only SNL skits when Fallon somehow never break character.
  • @gfear24
    I swear Kate Mackinnon is this eras version of Tim Conway. She goes out of her way to get people to break, and keeps a straight face as good as he did whenever he would torture Harvey Korman.
  • @CraftAero
    The Candice Bergen / Gilda Radner sketch went wrong soooo right. (S02E10) The way Gilda leaned into it for the win was spot on genius.
  • @maps_3377
    Sandler and Farley doing Zaggat’s guide could have been included here. Sandler didn’t break very often but almost always did with Farley.
  • @PsychoThirteen
    I remember "Massive head wound Harry" when it was live, but still laughed way too hard at it's inclusion here!
  • @JazzyJonas
    The Candice Bergen/Gilda Radner sketch Is one of the greatest saves in live TV history.
  • I really miss Phil Hartman. He was an amazing comedian and person.
  • @AnitaHanjaaab
    Lmao the first Californians had me in real tears. The “What’reyoudoinghere???” Gets me every time. 😂 The sketch is terrible but the constant breaking made it amazing.
  • @HPALM22
    Thanks for narrating over the funny parts
  • @GG-py9vp
    I didn’t think cork soakers was a sketch that went horribly wrong, I thought it was hilarious. If you thought that went wrong, maybe you should consider schweaty balls! I thought that was hysterical too 😂😂 Edit: not to forget Betty White’s muffin - that was so funny too
  • @Coyotek4
    Up to 30, and you still don't include the Steve Martin jury sketch where a bird flies away before rendering a decision.
  • @Kritacul
    #1 is a all time classic and I still laugh to this day watching it.
  • @twist58
    (1:21) THAT one had me cracking up on the first go when he mentioned the word. 🤣
  • @loboblanco4426
    The only show I watched with more enjoyment when the skit gets blown is the Carol Burnett show
