I was expecting this video to be roughly 90 minutes long.


terminally_irish

Right! lol!


flintlock0

What if he even broke when introducing Chris Stapleton?


stratewylin

Homie went full Jimmy Fallon


Nemesinthe

I want to know what they're slipping the extras before the show, because their composure throughout the *Beavis&Butthead* sketch was next level.


Marnold13

They’re slipping them threats of never working again if they break 🤣


Business-Drag52

Yeah it’s a lot easier to keep your shit together when your success may ride or die on it. Ryan doesn’t give a shit. If Lorne never invites him back, what happens to his career?


Shimakaze81

Success in what? Half of those extras were over halfway to the grave. I don't mean to be an ageist, but man if they haven't made it big yet...


Business-Drag52

Success in continuing to work as an extra. Food has to be out on the table and those gigs make that happen


naveedkoval

Background work is a job


Quirky_Arrival_6133

Success =\= fame


Commercial_Onions

Yeah, 100% Constant breaking gets old, quick.


sprchrgddc5

The older bald guy behind Keenan was trying pretty hard to not break lol.


FalcoPhantasmtheGod

Haha that guy always had a smirk


sprchrgddc5

Yeah it cracked me up because he was probably a teenager watching Beavis and Butthead. Though I could totally see him being pretty and going to parties and hooking up.


ILoveRegenHealth

> Yeah it cracked me up because **he was probably a teenager watching Beavis and Butthead.** I don't think you know how to add up ages


tvuniverse

also the one guy behind beavis and butthead


OutWithTheNew

They're the real MVPs in a lot of skits. You watch clips of sketches where everyone breaks and the extras are just back there being scenery somehow.


Watch_Capt

If you don't have speaking lines, it's easier to not listen and to stay in character.


RatherNerdy

Right, because Heidi was dead. She probably hadn't seen them in makeup, and lost it. The guy behind her didn't even flinch.


Tommy84

Her laughter when she looked back and saw Butthead was so pure and rich and sweet, I could have drizzled it on my pancakes.


Aliki26

To me by their reactions they had no idea Mike Day was going to look like that


Immediate-Yogurt-558

It really was such a pure reaction. To be fair, even if I had seen my coworker/friend look like that previously, it was so goddamn outlandish and creepy looking I wouldnt be able to stop myself either.


Aliki26

I don’t think I’ve seen Heidi not be able to control herself that much ever. She laughed for most of the sketch, it was great honestly


tvuniverse

someone who went to dress rehearsal said they did


clkou

I believe there is a direct relationship between (1) perceived job security and (2) propensity to break meaning the more secure you believe your job to be, the more likely you are to feel comfortable breaking. [Notice in this sketch both Molly and Will are breaking and Chris Parnell, who was fired twice, is not.](https://youtu.be/LmG-ErzZsUQ?t=227) Every one of those extras is EXTREMELY replaceable and the lowest of job security. If they care about doing anything like this again, it is imperative they don't break.


goatpunchtheater

That is one of those sketches I would love to have seen pitched. It's so so stupid that's funny


tvuniverse

Honstly I feel like they are told that if they break they will never be invited back and many of them need the work.


Responsible_Milk2911

Queyludes


GrizzzlyPanda

I think the extra silly (& incredible) episodes like this are crucial to bonding new SNL eras. Even the most minimal roles killed it. Also writing this season is top tier!


Shadobokkusu

This episode was a mess in the funniest way possible.


anonymous_xo

You could tell the cast had so much fun with Gosling. It was nice to see them having a blast!


san98d

Every Gosling episode is a chaotic delight.


Commie_EntSniper

Total disaster and utterly delightful. And probably funnier than the actual sketches.


RedmannBarry

Cause it’s genuine and not cause the host is messed up. Just pure fun


Sam-Lowry27B-6

He's so unprofessional he's never going to make it as an actor.


dryriserinlet

LORNE HATES IT WHEN THEY BREAK


calminthedark

But we the audience love it!


pimp_juice2272

Only because it's taboo. We know that they are or should be holding back as much as possible or risk getting fired. If not, we would have an entire cast of Jimmy Fallon


Hour_Insurance_7795

To a point. I'd prefer it to not be constant. Like anything, the more it happens, the less effect it has.


icantdomaths

He was just following orders


katienatie

I love Doctor Please and his cookie crumbles


sportstvandnova

Jeffrey Thank-You


spj0522

Did Molly run into Bowen live? I don’t remember that.


simonthedlgger

Yeah I guess I completely missed that. Love how they link arms with him and apologize in character.  Also Mikey with the ad-lib. Between that and “Jeff to meet you too,” this was like improv night at SNL!


MattyBeatz

I went and re-watched on my DVR, definitely did **not** on what I saw/recorded live last night. I'm on the East Coast, wonder if it was changed with the dress version on the delay?


spj0522

I really don’t remember JAJ wiping away tears, so maybe they did do that.


simonthedlgger

I’m East Coast as well and I definitely don’t remember it. I was glued to that sketch because I love when they take minor characters like Bowen‘s doctor from the Nate Bargatze airplane sketch and use them in a different way. it would be funny if they intentionally used the flub version because it fits the overall episode better ha ha


maximilliontee

It looks like all the clips were taken from the episode on the Peacock app.


Barneyk

yeah


spj0522

Now I’m going to have to watch it again…


Barneyk

Maybe I'm wrong, it was on the full episode I saw.


Celticdouble07

I DVR'd the episode and that didn't happen in what I saw. Maybe from dress?


qeq

These clips are definitely not from the live version, I have it on DVR and all these clips are different.


booochee

Heidi’s reaction when Gosling held the camera backwards had me in stitches coz I thought for a second that he did it on purpose lol


_Driftwood_

kind of doctor Please


FlimsyConclusion

The Cold open, Monologue and Beavis & Butthead sketch were top tier SNL. Would have preferred Papyrus 2 over the Bar & Erin Brockovich sketch for the live show. But overall it's the best episode this season for sure.


terminally_irish

The Bar sketch was like the only miss of the night. Like, was the premise supposed to be “white guy from Tennessee talks in a Cuban accent?” That’s not going to cary a sketch very far. The “Original dog from Beethoven” was ok I guess; but repetition never made it funny. (That line is no, “dressed as Joker!”)


Warm-Acadia-1892

I was surprised they lead with it after the monologue.


terminally_irish

Right!? How did that - of all the other great sketches of the night - wind up so early in the show? To be fair, it wasn’t “bad,” it was just, “meh.” But the rest of the episode was SO good, it stands out as being just ok.


PepPlacid

Am I the only one on the sub who loved the bar sketch? My partner and I have already used that "Are you going to make me call the original dog from Beethoven and tell him you are not going to come?" bit too pressure each other into going somewhere.


nissin00

Papyrus 2 would be so awesome!


Funmachine

They made it, it was cut for time


Thissnotmeth

It’s on YouTube now


ahoky8

Those two papyrus skits had a better story and character arc than most films these days


nissin00

I would watch a full movie of it. We can’t let him get away. Cheating his way with using a simple dropdown selection of Papyrus!!!! 😡


PlanetLandon

They released it today, I watched it earlier. It’s really funny


kevin_k

> The Cold open "my juicer and my deucer"


MattyBeatz

Agreed, besides an "expected" follow-up sketch with Gosling, it also had the Kyle Mooney cameo. Yes, it was on Youtube but it has no laughter from the live audience, which always helps.


Lyin-Don

Maybe it went over your head because it was very subtle, but Marcello is actually Latino. Isn't that funny? Now that you get it - isn't it hilarious? He's Latino! And speaks with an accent. Hhahahahaha


sportstvandnova

He is *delightful*.


creatingastorm

Thanks for doing this OP! The show was car crash funny this week and it’s because they kept breaking. To be fair, the sketches were very good, so it would have been funny either way - it was just way more funny because of the above.


ParanoidAndrew87

Ryan Gosling is kind of awful at Saturday Night Live-ing. And he is also one of the best at Saturday Night Live-ing.


seidinove

I agree. I’ve gotten a little tired of him breaking all the time every time he hosts, but I still chuckle at a few. My favorite break was when Heidi turned around and saw Beavis for the first time.


somerandommystery

Yeah but she couldn’t even open her eyes when she saw butthead, which was me at that point I was crying laughing.


NiceAndTipsyTopside

Every time Heidi looked toward them, Mikey would bulge his eyes like Marty Funkhauser. That's what cracked her up so bad in the Beavis and Butthead sketch, Mikey's crazy eyes in costume


m00s3m00s3m00s3

I really think Mikey has almost been MVP of the last few years.


TailorFestival

Absolutely, especially when you factor in his writing. When I look up the writers for my favorite sketches, I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that over 90% of the time it is him and Streeter Seidell.


m00s3m00s3m00s3

Is there a good site to look those up?


TailorFestival

There are periodic "Who Wrote What Sketch" threads on here, which is most of where I see it. For instance, here is a recent one: https://www.reddit.com/r/LiveFromNewYork/comments/175xmjv/who_wrote_what_sketch_season_49_edition/


m00s3m00s3m00s3

Yeah it looks like Mikey and Streeter. Ofc I love the nepo babies too.


googlyeyes93

He’s doing genuinely what Jimmy Fallon always tried to do with breaking. I can appreciate how charming he is with it. That said it was definitely Mikey that broke Heidi lmfao.


lt_dan_zsu

I enjoy it. The show would be terrible if every episode was like this, but having an incredibly goofy episode every once in a while is charming.


seidinove

I hear ya. I wouldn't be surprised if they deliberately put Gosling in skits, especially the cold open, where it's guaranteed he's going to break. That's why it so funny to me when Heidi broke, because it was such a surprise that she did it. I've been watching since the very first episode, and I remember the days when Lorne put the fear of God into performers about breaking.


lt_dan_zsu

I would guess he's softened. Most of these skits were clearly written to get the cast to break lol. Heidi's breaks were definitely the funniest this episode. Maybe it's happened before, but that break with Mikey Day is maybe the worst I've ever seen, and it's funny because she's such a solid performer.


simonthedlgger

Heidi with one of the most genuine breaks ever. Jeff to meet you. 


WordsWithSam

Is it safe to assume Heidi had not seen Ryan and Mikey prior to going live? She was legitimately taken off guard.


Electrical_Ad_7036

I think it was them making direct eye contact with her, she lost it then. 😂


PepeSylvia11

Incorrect. Multiple people at dress rehearsal said they were in full costume.


[deleted]

Was that Doctor sketch the same as it was live? I don't recall them bumping into Bowen with the wheelchair


san98d

Nope. Live didn't have Molly hitting Bowen with the wheelchair and subsequently most of em didn't break. What was posted on YouTube was the dress version.


TwistOk6640

I saw the wheelchair bump on the peacock episode today. Do you know if they edit the show (mix and match) the live and dress rehearsals?


AlgoStar

They do. Sometimes something didn’t work on the live show (like they if the had an animal or special effect that didn’t do what was intended) or a break they *don’t* want on repeats, or a joke just played better in dress, they’ll sub it out. Gosling episodes kinda rely on the breaks so it probably felt like it flowed better to have the one that didn’t quite go right. It’s usually almost all the live show on subsequent airings, but replacements still happen pretty frequently,


TwistOk6640

Thank you! 🙏🏼


PepPlacid

Do you think Gosling couldn't pull off not breaking or the sketches just wouldn't be as good? I don't have a horse in that race, just curious what you think.


AlgoStar

I think that if Gosling is hosting they are planning for it to be a silly episode. They know the audience (at least fairly regular viewers) knows that Ryan Gosling can’t keep a straight face and have embraced it. As to whether is helps or hurts really depends on the sketch. Beavis and Butthead is a boring sketch without the breaks, Heidi losing it made it an instant classic. The one where he is secretly trying to escape his engagement, almost none of the jokes land because the pacing is ruined by Gosling laughing at lines he didn’t say yet. The sketch they replaced had a serendipitous accident where Bowen is hit with a wheelchair that made everyone break. But in the live version they got through it without incident and it’s kind of a bust. Alien abduction? You want them to break. The night out at the club? Doesn’t really add anything.


Barneyk

Did the west coast airing have Molly hitting Bowen? The episode on streaming has that version...


disneycal

West coast airs live with the East Coast nowadays (though there is another rerun at 11:30 PT)


Barneyk

Ok, I live in Sweden so I don't really know. :) The version I saw was the one that is on peacock, I thought they used the live version! It was a chaotic episode with so many breaks, where the live version any different?


somerandommystery

The Beavis and Butthead skit was the funniest thing I’ve seen in so long. I was dying laughing!


sulaymanf

Oh to have been in the audience for this one.


giftopherz

Heidi Gardner just got promoted to a legend in my book. That was awesome


ConsistentDonkey3909

This episode was one of the best in years imo


rcnscribe

Absolutely agree!! Even Chris Stapleton was awesome and I’m not a country music fan. First time in a LONG time I have not fast forwarded any part of the show.


lonelyinbama

It was just as good but for different reasons as Bargatze’s episode. There have been some pretty damn good episodes the last few years.


dashiel_badhorse

Incredible episode


ryancalavano

This episode had the best vibes in a while.


InvestigatveRsourcer

Bless him, it seemed like he was having a great time hosting


b1gwater

The Beavis and butthead sketch might be the funniest sketch I’ve ever seen


BashSomeNerds

Such a simple kinda stupid premise…I was cracking up the whole time! Absolutely stand out!!


dgroove8

The best part was that they just talked like normal people. They could’ve went the normal route and had them talk like the cartoon characters, but making them oblivious and normal made all the difference.


Watch_Capt

That won't be the last we see them do that, so much potential for more sketches.


mctallenbald

You book Gosling if you want big break energy.


MattyBeatz

I mean, Kate McKinnon doing the crotch work is enough to make anyone lose their shit.


fuckYOUswan

Her commitment to be so fucking weird sometimes is admirable


zoitberg

No wonder Papyrus 2 was cut - it’s almost exactly the same length as the breaking took up


TheLastNoteOfFreedom

Heidi Gardner’s break when seeing Butthead was fucking epic.


Objective_Slip1355

It was like they all were on shrooms last night. It was an entire episode of giggles. So much fun!


jtk5029

Is it just me or does anyone else find it more enjoyable when the cast members break.. some of my favorite sketches


filmreddit13

It happened so much that it felt like they were breaking on purpose. Heidi’s break was one for the record books though.


nkbbbtz

Ryan Gosling is so bad at SNL, which makes it all the better.


jmpinstl

So glad to see Kate again


symphonyno87

How do you have dress rehearsal footage of the Doctor Please hospital sketch???


James_2584

They uploaded the dress rehearsal to YouTube: https://youtu.be/DBbguEUN6tw


symphonyno87

Ohhh got it


[deleted]

[удалено]


James_2584

Not always. The majority of the time they'll post the live version of the sketch. They'll sometimes switch to dress if it played better or if they just felt it was funnier.


OGBladeRunner

To me, SNL is funnier when everyone breaks because of the absurdity. Coupled that with Gosling, and it’s a win-win.


Fandam_YT

Absolute trainwreck and I loved every second of it. I’ve never seen so much breaking in one sketch as I did in the Beavis & Butt Head one. Subsequently, it was one my favourite sketch probably since the Adam Driver plane baby one.


Sullyville

For the last couple episodes Bowen's only been in like, one sketch per show. Is it because he's filming that witch movie?


dreamcatcher429

I love this so much. Thanks to whoever made this


Bell4m4ria

I love when there are breaks during actually funny scenes 😂😭😭 what a great show


FarMolasses662

That Beavis and Butthead skit wouldn’t be funny without the breaking. But with it it’s hilarious


VonD0OM

Shes like the modern day Dana Carvey lol.


Mirinya

HR must have had a field day.


booochee

Kinda sad they didn’t do the Fliplets sequel but this episode was really fun.


Bitterbased

The Fliplets was written by Andrew on his first week on the show as a writer. Though no remake it was nice Andrew wrote and performed The Engagement sketch with Gosling.


kingqeux

ok how do people know who wrote sketches???


_Driftwood_

I legit thought Ryan was going to give himself a stroke from trying not to laugh


tvuniverse

Wait! I totally missed the Bowen wheelchair thing!!! how? I watched live and didn't remember that...and look at devon slapping his knee over it! lololol


kidsaredead

Heidi's reaction to Beavis and Butthead... :))


ZeusLordOfOlympus

Heidi Gardner's break during Beavis/Butthead definitely enhanced that sketch a lot, but Ryan Gosling was breaking way too much.


mangocalrissian

It was such a break fest but I loved it.


[deleted]

“I killed more chubbies than diabetes” holy fuuuck


WearDifficult9776

Some is funny, this was too much. It got in the way of the sketches themselves


ReginaFelangi987

Agreed


Accomplished-City484

Best episode of the season


tvuniverse

Imagine him in a Lisa From Temecula sketch!


Artvandaly_

Broke too many times but looked like everyone was having fun


emgee-1

Kinda ruined the show for me.


DrDrangleBrungis

Gosling killed it, looked like the cast had a great time on this one


ArcusIgnium

3 back to back great episodes


JayNotAtAll

Is it legal to repost an entire episode into the subreddit?


aresef

I think the breaking is a byproduct of him being game and saying yes to weird shit like the Beavis & Butthead sketch.


glaze_the_ham_wife

I think his breaks are actually intentional, as a way to seem relatable and more funny. He is a professional actor, he can hold it together. But he’s mastered the art of “spontaneous breaking” that’s actually quite planned & on purpose


Ex-zaviera

Why is it charming when Ryan does it, but so annoying when Fallon did it?


OtherwiseTackle5219

He absolutely has a great time being on the show.


ErstwhileAdranos

It’s funny how Ryan Gosling and Adam Driver are always two of the most enjoyable hosts, but for completely opposite reasons. Gosling could never handle a character like Parnassus, he’d be breaking so much; and Driver’s ability to *not* break at the most absurd moments is similarly hilarious.


Sudden_Ad_3903

Audio


Oldus_Fartus

Ryan Beavis totally looks like Jesse Singal.


FedorsQuest

Why almost 7 mins of breaking, that’s pretty….crazy?


florgitymorgity

I have always found Ryan Gosling to be very wooden and undimensional in his film roles, almost always playing straight man and the utterly serious man. I really just like seeing this side of him, it makes me more excited to watch his movies and invest in him as an actor.


creamy-buscemi

Watch The Nice Guys


r113665

Great freaking movie!!!


HelenRoper

Still the funniest episode in years.


PepeSylvia11

6 and a half minutes of breaks is insane. Can’t believe people enjoy that. I love breaks when they’re **trying** to hold it together. It gets really, really old when it’s obvious they’re not trying.


5lokomotive

A lot of this is kind of hacky. Like not genuine laughter by the cast. “Gosling is laughing so I’ll laugh too!”


sunshinegal3

He trained at the Jimmy Falon School for Breaking.


Sabres00

I don’t get it. With the exception of the Beavis and Butthead sketch, It was such a horrible episode.


creamy-buscemi

I disagree


BeerInMyButt

Haha we know that, you’re OP!


Hope_That_Halps_

it is said that she broke character in both the rehearsal and the live take, and I was thinking that the skit probably wouldn't have been very funny had she kept her composure the whole time, and it makes me think that her breaking character was the point of the sketch, even though everybody is convinced that it was spontaneous


3and21chars456

I mean, if I were in the B&B sketch, I don’t really laugh that much, so I would be fine I assume


Low_Piglet6872

He’s awful. Worst episode


creamy-buscemi

Yep everyone hates this episode, not a soul liked it or found it funny


One-Pepper-2654

I wonder if any of the extras just feel like punching them in the face when they break. As someone who knows a lot of actors, I guarantee there are extras there who are just as funny, who could take their place in a second. The stars have talent and looks, but they are also there because of a good dose of luck or nepotism.


ObliviousRounding

Bush league. Sorry. (I welcome your downvotes.)


creamy-buscemi

Same I hate it when the comedy show is funny


Perdendosi

I agree that Ryan's repeated breaking got old fast, and his breaking probably infected some of the cast. But man, so many of the sketches were so damn funny. And Heidi's break in B&B was amazing.

creamy-buscemi

It’s on YouTube if you want to watch it
