live

television, what could go

wrong

, welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 snl

sketches

gone

wrong

for this list. We're looking at mistakes, unplanned moments, and character breakdowns, among other moments in which a sketch. It didn't go as planned, however, we'll only be including parodies, so you won't find Ashley Simpson's lip sync blooper on our list. We'll also exclude any

sketches

that have been cut for time, like Gus Chigen's old prospector guts last time out. cinnamon and sauce number 20. Adam Driver's race-day bird accident The bird incident guaranteed the sketch's immortality, but it was pretty surprising even before that point The driver plays a cantankerous oil baron who attends the day from your son's high school career greetings kids I'm Mordecai's father hello Kid, how are you?

Look at your father. Boy, she mercilessly attacks his son for his lack of strength, reprimands him in front of the entire class. He singles out the weakest of your class and we will ruin his spirit like I ruined the spirit of his selection for so long. Back in the day, while we could point out Pete Davidson breaking character and, honestly, who could blame him, things really go off the rails when the driver pulls a fake bird out of a burlap sack and smashes it on the ground, then hits the guy with his cane. bird without wanting to skewer it. with a fury typically reserved for a bloody historical drama we've said it before and we'll say it again abraham h parnassus deserves his own movie i crushed you to the ground and now you're number 19. the hungry dog ​​huge head wound harry If you're squeamish you might want to look away now among the countless memorable characters of dana carvey during her tenure on snl there was a massive gash on harry's head hey big party as long as we don't learn the gory details behind the injury that's enough bad that part of his brain is hanging out, the other partygoers are disgusted by the wound, except one, a dog while the dog feasts on the wound, carvey has to keep one hand on his helmet to avoid until it comes out completely, finally the dog manages to tear out part of the wound. wig and we don't know whether to laugh or scream or both number 18 edie bryant's failed wardrobe change inside the beltway good morning and welcome to the inside of the beltway where we see what is happening in washington when a wardrobe change is done correctly can be a useful tool in a

live

broadcast that transports characters through time and space by exchanging one or more items of clothing;

However, when done wrong, it can lead to embarrassing character breakups and Saturday Night Live infamy, such is the case during this season 45 sketch with Eddie Bryant Cecily. Strong Keean Thompson and host Woody Harrelson, I mean, remember what happened five months ago, let's take a look. The plan was for the cast to change clothes between clips to give the impression of a news flashback, but an overzealous assistant comes on stage and tries to take 80. Brian's coat as the cameras continue rolling, he's going to win, the mistake is obvious to both viewers and the studio audience and causes all four actors to break character.

Wow, Mr. Maddox, I'll admit I was onto something back then. Uncooperative dogs number 17. Dog court actor and comedian WC Fields once said to never work with animals or children, possibly because they are both unpredictable, don't take the law into your own hands, take them with me to the dog court, Judge Connie Schomberg, well, considering our previous entry on this one, we doubt it. snl writers had heard this quote before, how else can you explain his decision to use multiple dogs in the 2019 sketch dog court? Things actually got off to a pretty good start despite the number of dogs present, however, things quickly

went

off the rails when Cecily Strong tries to give a verdict while holding a pug, let me tell you something, the doctor is a place for fun and tolerance, okay, you should be so lucky that the dog thrashes violently in your arms, knocks on your glasses, and is generally an adorable nuisance.

Lesson dogs and live television don't mix well, you too tell me what makes him agile number 16 a near perfect escape whiskers are we here? It is yet another occasion in which animals steal the attention. kate mckinnon joins tiffany haddish for this iteration of a recurring or is it that purr sketch featuring rescue cats up for adoption and this is claudia hey haddish acts fast when her feline friends try to jump out of her box and even makes an impromptu prank that causes mckinnon momentarily breaks character in hilarious fashion for the During this sketch, they have to keep one eye on the cue cards and one on the till thanks to the exceptionally restless cats.

A cat gives his human co-star a good scare, causing them both to break down while Haddish demonstrates his own feline reflexes. you won't have to worry about getting rid of toby shaved it all off for a 15th gay circuit party browser wires get crossed weekend update bennett brower chris farley's bennett brower was a staple character in weekend update on the 90s I don't understand what's going on in the news I'm not nice, he was usually invited to do commentary for the comedy news show, but instead he would go on a self-deprecating tirade with a lot of air quotes, I'd rather get his grain of sand from the commentators. who doesn't make babies cry in this episode, is meant to take off and fly in the middle of a rant, but his wires get caught in the lights and he barely manages to take off while update host Kevin Nealon and a stagehand try to help Farley to take it. everything calmly, however, it is rumored that his landing was not so easy either, making it one of the most emblematic mistakes of snl number 14, larry david can't stop laughing, new wife, you know those moments when that something makes you laugh and you just can't stop the gay world isn't just one thing, it's a complex tapestry of cultures you know, like South America, in this sketch that supposedly parodied Real Housewives star Erica Jane, Larry David plays a lawyer who throws a party to introduce his colleagues to his new wife, get out, just get out, I want you off the property now, get out, you're fired, get out, it seems the sketch was too outlandish for the comedian , as he finally reached a breaking point and simply couldn't recover.

Being at the bottom of the power for her, you know, the 3:30 a.m. performance. It was an unexpected surprise for fans who are more used to her dry comedic delivery, but it's a memorable moment anyway - we honestly don't know how the rest of the cast does. I didn't break up with him because the club is overrun with thirst number 13 unsuppressed smiles the butler from California has cancer so you'll take the driver from Candy View to Sam Sente and then they go left and they come four five north from there just get off From my Carrying Totally Like This, The Californians is one of the most popular recurring segments in recent Saturday Night Live history thanks in part to its continually star-studded roster and the countless character breakups it has caused.

Sure, why are you with him so early? I skipped Wilshere and took Beverly. I

went

to Santa Monica and took it all the way up. Yeah, I just came to fix the speakers. The outdoor speakers on the patio. I think that's a pretty good thing. Few would say that the first version of the sketch was the funniest and those same people. You'll probably agree that it was also the most out of control moment. Kristen Wiig and Fred Armisen can barely read a sentence in their ridiculous Californian accents, stifling laughter at every turn. The worst offender, however, is Bill Hader, who practically gives up on staying in character.

The moment Fred Armisen opens his mouth, we think you can safely file this under the "So Bad, It's Good" category, chin up and get out of here. Number 12, Candace Bergen's stupid mistakes, right to extreme stupidity league, this moment couldn't have worked better if it had actually been scripted, it didn't take much for Candice Bergen to break down after her little mistake, but The irony of his mistake did not go unnoticed by anyone. You're not very smart, are you, fern? I mean, whatever your name is, it's actually pretty. Much fuels Gilda Radner's legendary quick wit as she inserts her own jokes that simply make Bergen and the audience, of course, laugh even harder.

You know, we can't all be as smart as Fern, I'm sure the original plan for the sketch might have gone out the window. but we think we can all agree that i couldn't have made it through this improvised updated version anyway and i should know that and so should fern because we are extremely stupid people number 11. sean hayes and jimmy fallon break character jeffries jimmy fallon is pretty famous or does that infamous for breaking his character so no surprises this is just one of his appearances on our list you wear silver trunks yeah I do what they're cool yeah look we don't run diesel we work in Jeffries, we read Italian fashion.

Our Deal was joined by Sean Hayes to play retail workers at a high-end clothing store who never miss a beat making snide comments to their customers. Jimmy struggles to suppress a smile before the sketches even begin and it's not long before they're both trying to hold back their laughter, however, Will Ferrell riding in on a scooter and answering a small cell phone is too much and they both just walk away. They dissolve into fits of laughter. Let's go to the Dolce Gabbana show. How quickly can you get your bags back from Iran? I already have my Jack pain in my backpack, my boss, Mentos number 10.

The cast is losing control. Debbie Downer, Disney World. Debbie Downer is one of the funniest characters snl has produced in its long history since they found mad cow disease in the US. I won't take the chance that it could live in your body for years before it destroys your brain. . She made her debut in 2004 flanked by host Lindsay Lohan and a handful of comedy legends, yet no amount of talent could have prevented this sketch from becoming one. The media is so sensitive and so secretive, juxtaposing Debbie's depressing events and anecdotes with the innocence and happiness of a place like Disney World is pure comedic genius.

Any chance Lohan and company had of getting through the sketch in one piece disappeared the moment Rachel Dratch broke during a slow zoom on her face. From that point on the question wasn't if they would all break but when I can't have sons frankenstein's monster number nine turns on speaking succinctly in the late 80s snl brought together both tarzan and monster frankenstein due to their limited knowledge of the english language, in fact, frankenstein's monster speaks more or less with a series of grunts and grunts, aside from occasionally informing us that bread is good and fire is bad, it's hard to say exactly what's up with the then-current nuclear arms treaty. it makes the usually serious Phil Hartman snap at this moment, but when he snaps, he falls hard due to the unexpected timing and the fact that it came specifically from Hartman.

This is easily one of snl's funniest character breakups of all time. next week when we'll be talking to the cavemen from quest for fire thank you number eight ryan gosling giggles close encounter you know you've written a positive sketch when you get an academy award nominee like ryan gosling to break out wow, what? what floor were they? Guys, I woke up in a dirty metal dome and 40 little gray aliens watched me pee in a steel container. The Canadian actor could not maintain his composure before Kate McKinnon's funny narration about an alien abduction. How did the aliens return? y'all down to earth oh you let me gently bring mckinnon's graphic story actually makes everyone on stage break down at one point or another and it's clear she enjoys her ability to make her peers laugh gosling was once again A victim of McKinnon's superior comedic talent when he appeared in another close encounter two years later, however, this time it was McKinnon's hands-on approach that had them in stitches, they would grab a cheek, move it and then make a sound the whole time like the crazy maneuvers of Bill Hader's number seven.

Brides Game Night Bill Hader hosted snl for the second time in 2018 and while he had a number of funny sketches, nothing beats Brides Game Night, although not for the reason you'd expect Hello, Hello, Sorry , we're late, it's been a chaotic week. Marissa's children. They are suing me again chorus, where were you going? suga's enemy playedHorus, an old man in a wheelchair who dates a much younger woman. The two attend a game

night

together, but Horus's inability to control his electric wheelchair almost causes him to flip the table to rest later. In the sketch, he turns it upside down and almost runs over Melissa B Senor.

There are set interruptions and character interruptions, and through it all, Bill Hader seems to be having the time of his life. They know what they should be ashamed of. Number six. Jimmy Fallon tries it. not to laugh, love is between barbara and dave, as we've already noted, it doesn't take much to make jimmy fallon break, so putting him in this sketch was actually just asking for trouble for barbara, which brings you to the prestigious jobs of lovers. is a recurring sketch featuring an eccentric and overtly sexual couple who have no concept of boundaries, anticipating lovemaking that will take place in this hot tub in less than 12 minutes.

He tries so hard, Jimmy just can't keep a straight face, that's incredible in Jimmy's defense. However, Will Ferrell has since explained that these characters were created with the actual intention of causing his co-star to break down. It certainly works, perhaps even too well. the rest of the actors also end up in a fit of laughter. Somewhere in the distance we heard the beat of native drums number 5. John Belushi's Wild Swinging Samurai Stockbroker. Some snl sketches illustrate how far live television has come. Like this one, the scene. In question involved John Belushi playing one of his most popular recurring characters, a modern samurai, each appearance of the character's song in a different profession, from Samurai Taylor to Samurai Psychiatrist, however, the one we're here to talk about is the Jogger episode.

From a samurai bag, Belushi sports his signature samurai look that includes a katana. At one point he begins to attack a wall with his sword, but in his fever he accidentally hits Buck Henry in the head. You can clearly see Henry stumble backwards and for the rest of the episode he had a band-aid on his head, so yeah, live TV. and swords don't mix either number four the sketch that ruined christopher walken's life more cowbell don't fear death take a roll well one two three four this wildly strange premise combined with everyone involved constantly breaking up made this sketch an instant favorite from the fans and cultural phenomenon, guys, it sounded great, but I could have used a little more cowbell.

Farrell created the character of him after hearing a faint cowbell in Blue Oyster Cult's '70s classic, Fear Not the Reaper and wondering about the man behind the instrument. Folks, you're going to want that cowbell on the track between Watkins' deadpan expression and Farrell's eccentric character and skimpy T-shirt. This sketch is so ripe for someone to break character and it's not long before everyone does. I'm not doing everyone in this band any favors if I don't perform great, although you can see Watkin laughing, we're not sure it was still that funny for him when fans continued to call him more cowbells long into the season.

It's over, I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell number three Chris Farley's full moon UFO mission let me get in there because I feel like getting some ass There are very few things that Chris Farley wouldn't do for a laugh, which he does It's impossible decipher whether this moment was actually intentional or not in this sketch about commandos investigating a spaceship that landed on Earth. Farley takes the command part quite literally despite it being a space-themed sketch, none of us were prepared to see the full moon. According to her co-star Jaymore, while Farley was struggling with her pants, she also hit her head and almost swore, needless to say, no matter what happened during that show, this is the moment everyone remembers number two, Stefan, in all moments, several of Bill Hader's possibly most memorable.

Saturday Night Live personality Stefan never failed to provide laughs during his visits to the weekend update news desk. His knees look like cookies and he is ready to party. The character was the brainchild of Hater and then SNL writer John Mullaney and became a hit thanks to his outrageous New York City party recommendations and sassy attitude, however, Bill Hader simply couldn't hold on. an appearance by Stefan without breaking his character. I'm so glad you made sure he wasn't insensitive, he was constantly covering his mouth to hide his laughter, something that was often due to him not seeing the jokes for the first time until they were on the air, while the pauses in the enemies may have constituted a sketch gone wrong when Stefan first debuted, today they are considered part of the act and we would.

It's no other way this place has it all asbestos lupus the magazines at supercuts give cuts before we reveal our number one pick here are some honorable mentions jimmy fallon scrapped by the teleprompter weekend update an indiana man was convicted of public indecency for letting her genitals get rid of this thing what is this chaos that is chaos kate mckinnon breaks character weekend updates smoke farms and the smell is strong can you spell character breaks spelling bee your word is piggy before continuing make sure to subscribe to our channel and call? the bell to receive notifications about our latest videos you have the option to receive notifications for occasional videos or for all of them if you are on your phone make sure you go to your settings and turn on notifications number one by the river matt foley go by the river, okay , How's everybody?

The incredible Chris Farley clearly had the magic touch that could make anyone crumble and nowhere was that more evident than with his most iconic character, Matt Foley, the antithesis of an effective motivational speaker. I'm 35. I'm divorced and living in a van by the river in Foley's snl debut. Host Christina Applegate and cast member David Spade broke up almost instantly thanks to their wild and erratic behavior - from what I've heard, you're not using your newspaper for writing, but for rolling fools, their hilarious expression is only compared with physical comedy that included lifting a shovel and smashing a table.

Here you are, here's Matt, there you are. Everything about this character almost seems like it was created with the intention of giving his co-stars a break shortly after matt foley became an snl regular and to that we say, well, lottie, damn, I'm sick of it and Tired of living in a van by the river, do you agree with our picks?
