Rare footage of Bill Hader kissing someone that’s not a dude on SNL
Not often I see a highly rated post without a comment. So I just wanted to say hi! Also, super stoked to see Brolin on SNL. I love when I'm in the middle of an SNL marathon and I stumble across a host I love who I didn't know was on.
Lol
defective_typewriter lmao
For real 💀💀
or dog
"Devin? Uwaaderyuudoinere?" No wonder Hader cracked up.
On Seth Meyers show, Hader said that he was surprised by Armisen saying it like that. That’s why he was cracking up.
Marina Del rah or Marina del ray?
@@jjmanzano9 Sure, because otherwise Hader would never ;)
EST84x touché....LOL!
When u spell with 100% accuracy🤣
I need a t-shirt that says “Devon?.......OOOOOWAADDERYUUDOINGHEER”
That's my favorite part ❤️❤️
Please!!!
I'd like one that simply says, "Just get on the 10 and get out of here!"
“HeyIthinkyoushould go home now, Devon!”
ME TOOOOO!!!!!
Watching Bill trying to keep it together gives me life
Vikram Sohal ikr
Agreed
Amazing
its fake
1:28 XD
As a Californian I can confirm the dialogue is 100% realistic because all we ever talk about is driving lol
Whuut??
@@jorgeal167 cuz the traffic is so bad
Don’t forget he bought tangerines on the side of the road that’s Cali af
Except one thing: San Vicente doesn't cross the 10 freeway...
Yes. Because california traffic sucks!
I love how Hader can never stop smiling or laughing and breaking character. With other people that can be annoying but it totally works for him.
Except he is so obviously reading off the cue cards, Hader lazily appears to have barely glanced at the script prior to performing the sketch. Maybe that was the intent, like a bad rendition of the Spiccoli character (played by Sean Penn)in 'Fast Times At Ridgemont High.'
@@HasinaiMan he is laughing because in rehersals Fred said the line "what are you doing here?" normally and this was the first time bill had heard it the way fred said it here
@@HasinaiMan from what I've heard, he actually studies the script almost religiously. Because of his anxiety. However, with the way snl works, at least with him and John Mulaney, he probably could never be certain if the cue cards were gonna change. (Also anxiety can make you do a lot of things, like reading exclusively from cue cards even if you have the whole thing memorized)
hes the writer/creator of the skit btw ;) so, hes not really laughing at the jokes he wrote.. hes laughing at the performance of the characters by the others... poor fred cracked him up
@@whereforeartthoume6459 The cue cards changing was a thing for Stefon. Not a thing in every sketch.
"At this time of day, it's gonna be jammed" made me laugh so hard because she's right.
Totallay.. like.... Snicker. I love this. Born in LA grew up in San Francisco.
Are you crayzyaih
Jammed sounds like jumped when she says it
I was looking for this comment omg😭😭😭 it’s my favourite line
Are you crayzah?! It's gonna be "jommed".
This is my favourite episode. Bill Hader has said that Fred caught him off guard with the wudareyuudoinghere as it was different than in rehearsal. They barely hold it together. 😂 Brolin does an awesome job in this too
haha and Kristin Wiig turning around giving Bill a wtf look apparently lol
Tre😂
Brolin has the most authentic SoCal accent of any of them.
This story is so funny
You probably know by now but the recorded rehearsal is on youtube, and Bill can’t keep it together hehe. Maybe Armisen did it normally during table rehearsal or something
Watching Bill Hader try not to laugh is the best part of this sketch haha
*any sketch
*They cut out the where he busted out laughing and couldn't even say his lines*
You said it! I was going to write the same, he's the funniest when he cracks up :)
Tom Caruth ooooooooWhaaddddd rrrr you dooooooeing here?
Its funny
Man, the dress rehearsal is even *_better_* because of how much Bill Hader was losing his shit in that first scene, hahahaha
666 likes ayyyyyyyy
Yes Lol I like that one better
Where do I find that
@@akanksharana6145 look it up on KZhead I found it pretty easily
I just LOVE Bill Hader but it’s Fred Armisen that makes this skit so hilarious. When he tells someone to get back on the 405 and NEVER GET OFF ugh...die laughing
ikr! fred does such a good job in this skit and his accent is funny and consistent
At this time of deh? Are you crezeh? It's gonna be jahmd!
Yeah I think that Fred tries to crack up everybody if you really watch it close way over and over you can see it but they're all geniuses
@@daxbradley4346 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fred steals the the show while bill tales the backsit a real lesson for play.
I love how at 3:31 when she says “you can do this” she’s not talking about him beating cancer, but she’s talking about the route to Marina del Ray.
Hahahaha! That shit gets me every time!! 😂😂😂😂
"It's almost Long Beach man!"
You mean Marina Del Raw
Yea, it's been over 10 years, and I still crack up at the Angeleno being more concerned about the traffic and parking than the actual cancer.
I love how the character gets told he has cancer and the only thing he's worried about is the location of the hospital
And the parking options lmao 😂
“But it totally validates”
I mean, he'll die without the treatments so he has to be able to make it through traffic and park. LMAO!
Can you blame him? It's almost in Long Beach-lol
LIKE you are so right! NOBODY wants to go to freakin Long Beach. That’s soooo far away & my phone says there’s an accident on the 405. Like maybe I can take a shortcut, for real .
I want to go to California just so I can get back on San Vicente take it to the 10 then switch over to the 405N and let it dump me out into Mulholland where I belong
rickyzig at this time of the day it’s gonna be jammed!
Bruh San Vicente doesn’t get to the 10. You gotta take San Vicente to la cienega to get to the 10
r3i6nm8n ooowhadderyoutalkingabout? he could take San Viscente to Wilshire hang a left and take the 405N from there
San Vicente turns into Ocean then going past the pier to the start of the 10.
the 405 doesn't dump you onto Mulholland - it doesn't even have a bloody exit for Mulholland... blame all the bogus street directions on their improv writing.
Kristen Wiig absolutely kills that accent, what a queen
Agreed! And she's such a gorgeous genius.
Traaaa?
Tre! @@levis569
2:38 Brolin's accent goes from Californian to Irish to Minnesotan in about 15 seconds
Canadian too.
@@artimp152I def heard the Canadian in there! 😂😂
It's funny because in California we actually tell directions like that 😂
MobiuS 360 😂😂😂 yes So true.
This is especially what it sounds like from an outsiders perspective lmao
It does, my NYC friends make fun of my accent constantly. I was born and raised in LA/San Diego.
Dylan Bowling only if you're from Socal.
Maybe that’s why I don’t get it? It sounds like the right to give directions to me lol. I was born & raised in San Diego
"Stuwart, at this time of dah its gonna be jammed are you crazay?" "Stuwart look at muh you can do thus!"
Loll love her
Ashyblubear “stuwart why yooh home so eurluh?!!”
that's an exaggeration of a stereotypical californian talking.
Yes. Southern California people talk like that.
@Stimulator7 yeah right you're like so lying you probably like don't even like know anybody like out here you're probably from like East Dakota or like something. Smh
Each time it cuts back to Bill Hader, his face just gets redder and redder. 😂😂😂
"it'll be jahmmed!" is a favorite in our household.
The main reason I love these so much is that no-one can keep character :')
As a Californian, this is all accurate.. I think since they live in or around LA the accuracy is too funny to contain it lol
On a side note, the Zankou Chicken on Sunset and Fairfax on the border of Hollywood and WeHo is way way better than the one in little armenia
You’ll love the dress rehearsal version. More breaking of character: kzhead.info/sun/gZF7ndyDZGKAp6s/bejne.html
I was the 2.5k person to agree
Pyfacefornever Me too. Makes it even funnier. I just got thru watching all of Carol Burnette. Love watching Harvey and Tim try to keep in character.
Funny thing is Kristen looks super hot with blonde hair.
Kristen looks super hot in anything. Even in nothing.
damn right.
Foxy
Word
Absolutely Gorgeous.
The way they all squeeze into the mirror!
All of them trying to say his name like XD "Chreh?!" "Truagh?!" "Tryyyy!" "...Treh." "Trrrey?" "Mister Trey?!"
I can confirm every Californian talks about getting places using roads this exact way
EVERY Californian?
Where I live roads don't make sense and we all use alleys and washes, roads are for the tourists and every road turns into four different roads as you drive down it so you're suddenly on a road you don't know even though you never turned.
If you don't mention the roads. People can't get an idea of how to get there. You know, it's easier if you have a mental picture.
I rarely do and I'm a Californian born and raised. I go based off of landmarks like "the biglots next to the 99 cent store" or "the good little Cesar's pizza" lol.
I'm from Sacramento and I can confirm I don't know shit but watt Ave and Folsom blvd
The stereotype where they talk about the highways and roads are hilarious and also extremely true... as a person who has lived in Northern California their whole life I can confirm it.
You're so smart there little buddy.
Except in norcal we don't say "the" 101
@@jamesisntmexican thats not entirely true .. me and my friends and family are from Norcal and we say the 101 but it is entirely subjective up here ..so we have learned it somewhere ...
I live in Sacramento and that’s literally how everyone talks
@@bellahenneke5664 Nah, this is specifically how them SoCal folk talk.
Hearing her say “Stuart” gets me every single time 😂
Just say "Start!" with stress in your voice.
“On the other side of the 10? Thats almost long beach man!” Im DED
I totally _felt that_ the traffic to Marina Del Rey is crazy. Incidentally, that's also where my specialist doctor practices😂😂😂
The way he said that, especially the "man!" was spot on. lol.
Gotta be careful with the 10, that shit can spit you out in Blythe California. You do not want to end up there trust me
It’s not even close
Bill Hader is trying so hard not to laugh. xD
Vlad Sicoe you should see the dress rehearsal version of this. He freaking loses it. Lol
Vlad Sicoe Stewart did the deep accent for the first time on the live show...killed the whole cast
You mean, "oooowha're youdooing here?"
Bill Hader is trying so hard not to laugh in most of the skits he's in. He's an amazing actor and I love that he gets into it so much that he almost loses it in every sketch he's in.
I love Fred Armisen!
I love it when they break character and laugh. And I don't remember almost any skit with Bill where he doesn't giggle.
yeah, he a Kimmel always broke lmao
Mate. You're thinking of Fallon, not Kimmel
hah, yeah. Thanks for the correction.
As a third generation Californian woman one of the first pieces of advice my grandmother gave me about making conversation with boys was to ask what route they took between their house and the party. It worked every time - I always had an ice breaker for any conversation.
My brother started working in LA a couple months ago and he kept laughing because everyday felt like an episode of The Californians when people started discussing which route they took to their work site that day. He said people would look at him funny when he was chuckling to himself, but then he started playing the sketches for people at lunch, and now they’re doing the exaggerated accents when they tell each other how they got to work and he says it’s a much more entertaining place to work! 😂🙌
So do you understand everything that they say? It's hard to understand their accent.
WhatrYOUdoinghere?!
Don't ask! I took the I-95 off route 28...I only made it on time because I jumped lane 4, and made the turnpike at 90 clicks to speed onto highway 11 and FINALLY hit the I-60! It was hell!
Uwhhhaddayoudoinhere
I saw Bill on Seth Meyers show and he said that Fred wasn't supposed to run the sentence together like that, but when it came time to do the sketch thats how he slurred it and it caught Bill and Kristin both off guard so bad that it was impossible to stay composed from that point on...pretty much Fred sabotaged them from the first sentence XD
😄😄😄😄
I think you meant....wwwuuuddddyyyyooodddduuuuunnnnngggg here?
"ooouuwwwwuutrryoudooinghere?"
I love that honestly us Californians are the ones most into this skit. Can confirm we still quote it amongst ourselves.
Come live here for a few years, and rewatch this. You’ll have actual tears in your eyes from laughing so hard. This is rich with deep truth and sheer comedy.
As a Californian (LA born and raised) I can say full-heartedly that this is 100% accurate.
Londyn Harris Californians seem fun to hang out with, if they act remotely similar like this (:
Yeah I'm LA born and raised also, but I don't talk like that, nor does anyone I know...
That's why we don't go there
Londyn Harris wwwwadyuudoinherrrr?
Londyn Harris so am i and no it’s not 🙄
This was so sad - he's got cancer and there's no parking. 😩
BUT the coffee bean across the street still fully validates!!!!
Penguin Community I was gonna say the same thing. Totally beat me to it.
the parking problem probably hurts more than the cancer :)
God I loved this scene when first saw it live, but it's even better knowing the backstory. This was a running bit between Bill and Fred, they'd talk about their vacation week trips to LA and do stupid voices and talk about streets. Eventually several actors and writers were in on it and it became this soap opera skit. Anyway, the whole week Fred does the "what are you doing here?" line in a regular voice, but during the show he does the now legendary "wha-whaaaaateerrr you doing here??" which caused both Bill and Kirsten to break instantly. 😂😂 That's exactly the type of thing I would do to mess with cast members.
Oh man, the auto-generated captions just do NOT know what to do with their accents. 🤣
I love how Fred says "oowwwwhat are you doin here?" Bill, Kristen and Fred are my favourite SNLs actors ♥
Great choices!
L
Fun fact: in the read and dress rehearsal for this skit, Fred had just said “What” normally and that’s how it was written. But live he said it like you hear without Bill or Kristen being aware he would say it like that. That’s the main reason they’re about to crack.
Lucy my favorite SNL actors are Pete Davidson, Mikey Day, And my favorite Bill Hader.
They were pretty phenomenal talents! SNL was lucky to have them. Kate Mackinnon, Cecily Strong and this new lady Heidi Gardener are all pretty amazing too....oh! AND I think Beck Bennett and Mikey Day are pretty strong comedic talents as well.
when they laugh it's more hilarious than it is already!
They know how rediculleously accurate they do it, they become so self aware and self conscious about who they are imitating...its out of control 😂😂😂😂
Kenan is 100% just doing a Kel impression
Welcome to Good Burger!
Kahl?
😂😂😂
I'm a dude he's a dude she's a dude we're all dudes HEY
Big time! Lol
Even after watching this a billion times, it still cracks me up. Best snl skit in a long time.
Dude, Kenan Thompson's accent is frickin perfect, bro.
Yeah hanging around Kel had it's perks.
Well his name should of been Kel instead of Trey. Kenan never gives Kel Mitchell any credit for his work or act.
Seriously...I grew up in CA and he sounds just like every guy at my high school ever.
It’s brah, bro.
As someone from CA, I can confirm, we're all like this. This is completely and undeniably accurate.
The Dapper Llama I lived in DC for awhile and everyone would laugh at me for the directions I would give them. I said they could tell I was from CA.
That’s what I figured
Stephanie Rodriguez Its the same way in Arizona
I'm from LA and I'm like this. :(
Is it true that Angelenos have actually started emulating the sketches that emulate them, so that they'll draw it out when they say "Marina Del _Reeeey_?"
As a former Californian, the non-stop descriptions of the freeways and directions is accurate 🤣
"At this time of day? It's gonna be JAHHMED, are you Kray-zeh?!?" haha
I'm a Californian. I've been on all those roads and freeways and they nail it... lol stay off the 405!
kravin moorhead except for whole Long Beach being by the 10 thing
It's the outer limits of L.A. county but the 14 is horrible.
Shit stay off all of them. The 105, 5, and the 91!
How do you know about Mullholland?!!!
Funny thing...mine just became upvote #405 on this comment, LOL.
THAT'S Josh Brolin?! THAT'S Thanos and Cable?! Josh Brolin is always a win.
Don't forget Jonah Hex!
He will always be Brand from the Goonies.
@@silverscreemer god yes, brand was so dreamy
watch literally anything that isn't a comic book movie
Agent K
Never gets old. I pray they bring this skit back.
I've noticed that the guest hosts who aren't used to doing the Californians accent tend to sound Scandinavian at times. That just makes it funnier! XD
The black dude with the blonde surfer hair and soul patch. I fucking lost it lol
Omg Bill Hader was literally crying 😭 😂
Kristen Wiig is such a good looking woman.
She looked hawt in Wonderwoman 1984 😍😍
Somehow these get funnier each time I watch them.
Definitely!
At this time of day- it’s gonna be JAHHMED! Are you crazahhhh??
Being a Southern California native I can confirm everybody talks like this when giving direction 😂
As a Californian, I find this............insanity accurate.
Except for the Long Beach part
SNL is always the funniest when they're fighting a laugh.
I'm sorry but I just love how dramatic Vanessa Bayer is as the housekeeper! The way she glides backwards and then ballerina runs at 1:57 is wonderful!
Keenan was doing his best Kel impression! Hilarious!
I think he really enjoys the straight blond hair.
As a Southern Californian, all of our dads constantly complain about the 405
Josh Brolin is just mesmerizing. His acting choices are almost incomprehensible, but genius
I like how Bill Hader progressively gets tense trying not to laugh. The music fits well too. 😂
Kristen Wiig is totally barely holding it together lol
Hader is fighting for his life in this one
Fred Armisen totally commits to this. He made Hader lose it. Wiig mostly keeps going but even she was out
Ssstuwert, way yu hum suh arleh?
This made my day
Mah Pahternal Grundmahther's Nahmm, is "Bahhh", tah. Small world.
This comment is pure gold! Reads exactly like the character in SNL
"Just get on the 10 and get out of here!" I will use this for the rest of my life...
"just get on the 10 and get out of here!" is my favorite way to tell people off
I'm from California and this accurately represents half of the people I've met
bill hader's cracking up!!! always makes my day
I'm a Californian and this is so accurate that I'm in tears from laughter.
Same. When I first saw this I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard
Fred Armisen is so awesome in this skit.
The 405 is literally always jammed lol
Especially at this time of day
SNL Has always had its peaks and valleys with their cast but this is definitely a peak!lmao!🤣🤣😆
I'm an L.A. native and when I moved to the east coast for a few years I thought it was weird that people didn't use 'the' when they would reference freeways and highways. Didn't realize that's just a Cali thing. HAHA.
Plus there is no "freeway." They are highways.
Ha! It will always be THE 405!
It's just in Southern California. We don't say "the" in Northern CA.
Ha true. Moved from Santa Barbara County to Indiana, and people do kind of look at me funny because I always say “the 41” or “the 64”
Lexi Ryan I like you am a CA born who is on the east coast... I had to get used to not saying The 95. And when I get really lazy my accent comes back... Also when we say words like Dad and Cat it comes out as Dyad and Cyat.
The repeating suspense theme with the close up shot of faces always gets me. lmao
Every time I have a bad day, I just watch one of the old The Californians skits. Cheers me up every time.
The way Kristen says _Stuart_ at 2:57 cracks me up every time
Bill always loses at "I think you should go home now Devin?"
“Aren’t you gonna toast to meh?” 😂😂😂
"At this time of day?!? It's going to be JAYHMMED!!!"
I DONT CARE WHAT OTHERS SAY the Californians skits were my favorite
SNL nailed the part where SoCal folks always describe roads with intricate detail in their greeting with one another. "...and I took Wilshire to Vermont to get here..."
As an actual Californian, I can confirm this is what we talk like
Bill Hader's "holding-it-together-but-only-just" face rivals that of the soldier in "Life of Brian" trying not to laugh at "Bigus Dickus".
Fred really carries this. Love Kristen's accents too. Most addictive soap ever.
you can really see how it physically hurts Hader trying NOT to burst out laughing... his teary eyes are something of the funniest i've ever seen :-))))
I feel like Keenan channeled his inner Kel for this accent 😂😂
This clip's been viewed over 6 million times, and more than half of them were by me.
Bill was trying so hard to stay in character!! 😂😂😂👌
I thought this was Jeff Bridges for like a good minute until I realized it was Josh Brolin.
Josh Brolin as a Californian = Jeff Bridges
Those transitions from the hypnotic music and the mirror, to the wine pour, to the title over the ocean with the rich homes is the best.
Fucking hell I've not laughed so hard in a long time! 1:15 I feel SO sorry for that guy, he's trying so hard not to laugh. Personally I lost it with "Devon?? oooowadderyoo doooinherrrr?" hahahaha!
That laughter afer the "I said go home" 1:05 sooo funny
Nildrojain that's so true.. when h said you should go home that was the funniest delivery ever
i love the fact that bill broke in the same scene both in the dress rehearsal and here
He was trying so hard to get him to break 😂
