The Saturday Night Live cast can't stop breaking in this blooper reel of its pre-taped segments
Aux Features Saturday Night Live
Breaking—as in, breaking character because you’re having a giggle fit—has become such a common occurrence on SNL over the last decade that it was given its own tribute song during the 40th anniversary episode. It should come as no surprise, then, that the cast of SNL breaks even more when there isn’t a live audience there staring them in the face. This new blooper reel gives us an idea of just how many ruined takes there were during the pre-taped segments this season and makes us seriously jealous that we can’t have this much fun at work.
Whether it’s because they dropped a line, broke a prop, or slipped and fell in their giant Kool-Aid Man costume, the cast of SNL has no shortage of reasons to laugh. The real highlight, though, isn’t exactly a laugh moment. It’s Aidy Bryant’s look of sheer terror at seeing Seth Meyer’s bald head and goatee as he storms into their bedroom during the ‘Beta Force’ commercial sketch. We certainly can’t blame Bryant for not staying in character through that harrowing ordeal.

Lorne loves it when they break.
That monitor Lorne looks at while he stands just offstage has nothing on it. He’s looking at his soul.
So today I learned, Jason Bateman is just Liev Schreiber with hair.
And Liev Schreiber is just three Peter Dinklages taped together to begin with.
A particular fan of the one of Aidy Bryant not popping a balloon with the dart and the dart just bounces directly at Beck Bennett
Also pictured: the only people still laughing at SNL.
I’m not in the footage though?
Ironically, that’s the kind of joke that could get you a gig writing for SNL.
I dunno, I feel like it’s a lot funnier than it was 5-10 years ago.
Why do so many of the clips look like they had a 30% opaque gray filter laid over them?
because thats how the footage looks before any grading done to it
That would be the original uncorrected color profile (which gives post-production *way* more flexibility when it comes to color grading).
Ah right, I should have known that. Some of the clips looked like they’d been graded, some not, and I’m used to seeing gag reels etc. that have clearly had grading done.
This is a bullshit headline, where’s the break dancing I was promised?
I got an Electric Boogaloo notification for this?
Liev Schreiber turned into Jason Bateman so slowly I barely noticed.

Thank you!!
If you’d like to see more of Leslie Jones breaking, just watch… every episode she’s ever been on.
Fuck all region-locking scum.
We got cheated out of the outtakes from Ice T and Mariska Hargitay!?
It turns out I also don’t like watching them do this.
For some reason, cracking up during a sketch is WAY less annoying when it doesn’t involve Jimmy Fallon…
