'Saturday Night Live' Stars Who Broke Character During Skits

There’s a lot of pressure when it comes to putting on an episode of Saturday Night Live: it is live, after all.

As a result, cast members and hosts need to stick to their scripts closely in order to keep the sketches flowing smoothly – and they also need to keep a straight face as they fly through dozens of jokes every night. But what happens when they…can’t?

Time and time again, we’ve watched over the years as the cast of SNL, and myriad celebrity hosts, absolutely lose it after cracking up at one of the jokes they’ve said, the sheer absurdity of the sketch, or something entirely unexpected happening in a scene. In most cases, it only makes the sketch even more hilarious for the audience watching at home.

We’ve rounded up some of the best moments where the SNL stars have absolutely lost it during a sketch.

Will Ferrell Wants to Crush Norway in Super Bowl 2021 Commercial for General Motors - Kenan Thompson & Awkwafina Join Him! (Video)

Will Ferrell punches a world globe after learning a little tidbit about Norway in General Motors’ Super Bowl LV Commercial.

The Eurovision star vents his frustration about Norway being the leader in Electric Vehicles over other countries of the world, especially The United States.

“Hopefully people will have a good chuckle and then have the opportunity to think about driving an electric car and entertain that thought,” he shared with People about the commercial. “But also continue to think of ways that they can live their lives to help the environment, help with climate change, help the planet.”

Starring alongside Will in the commercial are Awkwafina and Kenan Thompson, who found a more practical way to get to Norway, but end up getting lost in a neighboring country.

GM’s “Everybody In” campaign is committing the company to bring 30 new EVs to market globally by 2025.

There Was An 'Elf' Joke in Netflix's 'Eurovision' That No One Picked Up On According to Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell is opening up about the one joke in Eurovision that nobody picked up on.

During his interview with Variety, the 53-year-old actor dished about how in the Netflix movie, everybody believes that elves exist, which was actually designed to be a nod to Elf.

“You know what’s funny? Nobody got the subtext to that,” Will shared. “We were trying to put in this bit about how Lars has issues with elves and elves are stupid and thought, ‘That’s going to get such a funny laugh because of Buddy the Elf’.”

However, it “just went over everyone’s head.”

Will added that it was “supposed to be such an obvious joke that we should have my character just hate all things elf-related, and I starred in Elf. And that just kind of flew by.”

Elf has become a cultural holiday classic movie since its release in 2003, and it also starred Zooey Deschanel, James Caan and Mary Steenbergen.

One of the stars also opened up about why there was never a sequel to the movie. Find out here…
