The Californians Breaking Character Compilation

@@tonyahrrold8273 grandpa get of the internet

I heard through the grapevine that Chris Parnell is the only SNL cast member that never once broke character in any sketch. I'd believe it as he excels t playing the straight man of comedy scene.

YES!

Except when they fake break character

I disagree.

Yaaay Stefon...

the skits are ALWAYS better when they’re cracking up trying to say their lines

@@hurlinerose5380 absolutely!!

1:09 when it syncs up with the glass breaking effect I always lose it.

It is ye know!!! I had no idea who he was until I watched a video of him on Conan.......a few you tube recommendations later and I think he’s hilarious!

I grew up in SoCal and yes, it's pretty accurate

There are many accents in California, tho. Its a big state. You could fit several European countries inside of it. This particular accent is like a version of the posh accent used in England. However, in California its mostly used by white people from the valley (which is why most of the characters are blonde - which is merely a stereotype). That also explains why they are so obsessed with taking the quickest route to their destinations because they usually live outside the urban areas.

​@@TatankaTaylorAs an English man, with a Californian Mother, the accents really aren't alike. Unless you mean in terms of how Posh accents are relatively niche, like this particular Californian accent?

You are spanish from Spain? Or do you simply speak Spanish? :)

Español/Catalán, de Barcelona. Pero llevo hablando inglés por temas personales o profesionales desde hace casi 30 años. @@puchibamba4801

I just nearly choked trying not to laugh on the bus. What a great line delivery.

hiii i hear the snl cast listens to this song - faceless humming by the impures . [][]vv

Loved it when he used that exact same voice when he talked about seeing Darth Vader at some convention.. wish I could remember which episode.

Also Debbie downer

Them Jeffrey’s’ sketches with Will Ferrell

Even Vanessa broke for a second, and she's pretty legendary about not breaking.

Wrong. Bill was never his character 😂😂

Vanessa Bayer usually holds it together lol

I think its just Fred Armisin cracking everyone up.

Those three plus Vanessa Bayer are the legendary Californians. Everyone else is just filler.

I love that they even managed to make Vanessa Break. xD

I'm already laughing when the skit is about to start because I know what's coming.

Reminds me of this trailer vimeo.com/ondemand/bodyswap

Neither can Armisen.

Wasn't he a displaced from somewhere down south Californian though?

@@karlepaul6632is your post even English, ha

@@karlepaul6632 yeah what the fuck was that

​@@karlepaul6632 I had a stroke reading that, Karl.

lie

As you should!

No wah!

@@jv-lk7bc I think you should go home now j v

my mom knows what roads they are talking about

Alex Are She's bitchin', for sure bro!

she lives in LA so her accent is spot on, source: am californian

She is so damn hot. She can do this skit with me any time :)

Ive lived in California my entire life and Ive only ever heard like 2 people talk like this

@@lookiehar how far do you live from san fernando valley?

rickyhuff Excellent! Wish I'd thought of that.... Maybe I should have said..."bitchin', dude". Has a bit more feeling,...imho. And a big thumbs up on that spot-on spelling, my friend.

IthINkyuShUdgauwHeum!

I think you should go home now, Rickyhuff.

Apparently in rehearsals he said it more normally, but at the live taping, he exaggerated it which is mostly what made everyone crack.

that one cracks me up everytime i watch it its so stupid

You had the con when numbah 1 had to go take a numbah 2💩

Lol Hader not Harder

hiii i hear the snl cast listens to this song - faceless humming by the impures . [][]

Agree. I was born in LA, raised in San Diego. Armisen is the funny one IMHO.. of course the beautiful/brilliant Kristen too ;-)

3:23 for anyone wondering

Lol totally

Unless Jimmy Fallon is in the skit. He’s awful.

The Debbie Downer sketches are a riot as well, there's one with Jimmy Fallon who (of course) just can't keep it straight. Lorne Michaels hates it whenever his cast members break. The Californians is so wonderfully and ridiculously written that SNL actors breaking to it adds to the sketch's charm and we all get to laugh at the craziness.

Only if genuine.

Facts it makes it better I’d rather have this then them being serious in skits

Its a cheap way to get a laugh from the audience when you realize that the skit is lame.

Kristen is so smoldering hot in any character she plays.

😂✌🏻

His blonde soul patch gets me every time

The blonde eyebrows are what get me. I can't even see them half the time, and then oh! There they are. XD

@Bob Watters h- how??

hiii i hear the snl cast listens to this song - faceless humming by the impures . [][]

I am so wildly attracted to her I can't even begin to describe it.

she's pretty hot as Karina @@mikek5958

The sketch IS them breaking. The whole point of the sketch is them laughing.

It's not funny theyre not funny

@@yes-ft9ze you seem like you're a boring person to be around. If I had a choice between hanging out with you or going to a curling event you bet your ass off I'm going to a curling event. Get some sense of humor please. I'm sure you're a nice person and all but your just making yourself sound boring to be around. The skit itself was intended to be silly with some dumb lines and I think the actors are breaking because how silly and dumb the lines are. I would love to see your skits you've written and produced. Do you have any you would like to share so we might get a better understanding about what's really funny and maybe prove to everyone you're not as boring as you sound. Have a nice day and god bless

I thought stone cold steve Austin was going to show up @ 1:08 and stun everybody lol

elaphure vibe killer

@Zamza I believe he's implying that it's just that funny. They can't keep it together on either take.

mattyone78 Count me in!

Yikes... I'm sorry to hear(read) that.

Well Devin, if you want to see it air, just take the 101 S to the 405. Keep heading south and then take Santa Monica Blvd East through Beverly Hills...oh wait thats Cedars-Sinai Hospital, my bad, bruh!

@@pla6ue If you don't like it, Eric, just get on the 10 and get outta here...

It is it's own, even if it's for a year, or how the ratings going. They definitely act California too with or without the accents. California has lots of material to have a field day on. State goes through a lot of phases and trends I hear.

Reminds me of Jimmy Fallon jk jk

It’s a good thing he rarely ever broke, because when he did he could hardly speak.

Especially in the Alexi and Renaldo Christmas skit.

He makes others break way more than he ever actually does.

I think if they resist the longest it's better.. Because l have this idea that the more they break character the easier it will be to break as the slightest opportunity.. Am l wrong? Trying to think from an actor's point of view

It's spelled jommmed.

Breaking character is his default acting style. Character breaks are much more special if they're from people that actually try to get thru a sketch. 😂

AYE DONT DO KING FALLON LIKE THAT😭😂

Ooffff

BUUUURRRRRRNN

@@rhettzkie Exactly... it's a cheap way to get laughs. On the other hand, it's actually funny when an actor rarely does it

And 30% less fat.

Don’t forget the last 70% plastic

I would much rather watch "Keeping up with the Californians" where everyone is funny while on Keeping up with the Kardashians everyone totally sucks.

😂🤣

And 200% more personality

If they dialed it down, even one notch, it would been a mere faithful rendition.

His face got red 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

1:07

hiii i hear the snl cast listens to this song - faceless humming by the impures . [][]vv

Yea,i think we all know that.thanks for pointing out the obvious

He’s like WHHHHHHHHHHHHHUT ARE YOU DOIN HERE” 🤣super long on the w

If you look at the scenes like in californians, bill is laughing at Kristin more.

"Starts to break" Such an annoying phrase

Totally SoCal. Northern Californians don't talk like that at all.

@@a.w.3772totally 💀

The directions are spot on!!

​@@a.w.3772we dont here in socal either

Like fer reals though 😅

Kenan

@@benbenklin no it’s keenan lol

@@Bonbonbon739 its a hebrew name.

4:06 he had to cover his mouth. BROKEN! If one person laugh it's like a contagion spreading through all of them.

It's because he's All That!

1:07

hiii i hear the snl cast listens to this song - faceless humming by the impures . [][]

Same ....... I miss my Valley Girls.....

Same here. My wife got pissed cause I was laughing so hard the bed was shaking

My favourite part🤣

Her names September. Oh no, that really complicates my life . Lmao

@Burr Anderson who cares?shits funny as hell. You probably loved comedies that had the fake laughter forced in at every punchline or joke.

Hader has talked about it in podcasts. In the table read during the week he read it normal, "Devin, what are you doing here" but did the over the top take during dress. It helped the sketch turn into a game of one-upsmanship, which is what gave it the life to do it like 10 times in 2 seasons, or whatever. Sorry about the reading material.

Here Bill explains what happened. kzhead.info/sun/lLyon8akgKeqi4U/bejne.html

Kreh'- zeh

Best line ever!!

😂

I wouldn't go that wa anywa, during the da or at night. Take La Cienega.

Comment of the thread!!

This fucking sketch man As a born and raised San Diegan, this killed me

I lived in northern Cali and now I live in Southern California near LA. The whole directions bit is on point. Californians are all about directions. Taking the 5 or the 101 is a big debate here.

Did you take the 10 heading west and then Venice Blvd, Jump on the 1 until it drops you in Marina Del Rey?

@@mpup54 nah, I don't do LA traffic I hop on the 8 West towards Mission Valley to pick up some Swishers and bud then headed East to El Cajon to procure some skante

Please stay there

hiii i hear the snl cast listens to this song - faceless humming by the impures . [][]

I know you're joking,I googled the 115, it does exist, but yeah as a born and raised angeleno we somewhat talk like those people

I bet for rich people it is

I can't stop laughing x

Not really. I’ve lived all my life in south OC and we aren’t retarded

no its not. this is malibu. theres other cities in california, like a 100 of them.

I live in la and I confirm this is not accurate

Glad I'm not the only one haha "Itz gunna be jahmmed!"

@@darylmurphyii2056 are you crazy?

Jehsus christ what's wrong with yew? Are youh trying to JAHM the VIDow?

It's like visiting the zoo for me

I'm guilty. This is way too funny especially with them breaking character. I've seen this too many times

No. Bill breaking character will always be top shelf comedy

She looks fine as a blonde

funny plus she's hot as balls.

She is such an attractive woman

@@mothvile : Yeah but it's funny because Kristen can usually stay in character much better than Bill. I love him but he is so quick at giggling and laughing.

She actually broke character because of Bill Hader in a skit where he plays an old man and she his wife. I think it’s called Girls Game Night or something like that.

@@Waddles13 she also kinda broke character as Larry David's wife in one skit, but you can barely notice it, but he broke first of course.

@@Waddles13 I'd still like to know how Cecily never broke during any of the "close encounters" sketches. Kate McKinnon made everyone else break during those except for Cecily, somehow. She's just too good.

@@gustafsone yes that's the most one that I can't understand how she made it through them lol

I've also been really impressed with how in character Vanessa tends to stay

I have to go with the Debbie Downer Disney episode.

Yeah. And Vanessa's reaction was great.

I CANT ---

@@ScootyPuffSr7 she sure makes a sexy maid

KWAAHT

@Trump’s A FatAss You're right.....no short cuts in L.A.

Trump’s A FatAss In an unrelated story, there are few secrets still around after nearly 60 years. The one that comes to mind is....who actually assassinated JFK? WE don't know.....but someone does, and it's a secret. Food for thought....

hiii i hear the snl cast listens to this song - faceless humming by the impures . [][]vv

Are you on instagram 💪

that god me soo good man hahahahaha

😂

And the sikoya seating arrangement line. Fuckin hilarious. He made himself crack up for christ sake

It’s a dumb premise but executed very intelligently lol

You should see the herb Welsh series lmao

It's what made the Carol Burnett show so great back in the day...it was everyones goal to break Harvey Korman and Tim Conway usually stepped up to the plate

To be fair breaking character and ruining a scene back in the day was a expensive affair when it would all go on film, there's a reason the old guard of actors and actresses don't break much, they literally couldn't afford to aha

In Puerto Rico, the funniest, most popular nighttime TV show happens to be a skit show where they always break character and lose it in front of a live audience. It's funnier to people. Sometimes, even someone from the audience says something outloud that makes the actors break, and when they can't avoid not laughing, the entire audience loses it in laughter. Because both the production team and the audience knows the boss who runs the show and also acts in it is a stickler and even him can't avoid breaking character, it has become a sport to try to make him laugh. When he breaks character, it's super funny to the audience and the other cast members, because it means they defeated him. He always looks at the camera and makes a "You got me!" face. These are reputable TV industry veterans with long decades of experience, yet they constantly start laughing mid-skit, sometimes having to improvise to be able to get to finish them. People love the authenticity. Being number 1 for over 20 years means that their formula works. They take their job seriously, but also embrace how the audience reacts when they break character. It's really low-budget sets and purposely bad writing, too. Nothing fancy like SNL. 😋

@@nigelsaunders3573 I heard Tim Conway used to make bets on how long it would take him to break Korman. Not if, but when >:)
