"Wecandodis!"

Rachel Dratch's character, Debbie Downer, does the opposite of bringing down the mood. Lindsay Lohan and Jimmy Fallon have trouble fighting their laughs as Debbie Downer manages to find the cons of every situation. If you look closely, even Rachel Dratch can't help but crack a smile.

9. "Weekend Update: Stefon On St. Patrick's Day"

Bill Hader is notorious for breaking character. From the very beginning of the skit, Bill has trouble holding it together and fully embodying the character of Stefon. His contagious laughter is not lost on Colin Jost, who, too, gives in.

8. "Weekend Update: Dr. Wenowdis On Trump's Televised Health Exam"

The COVID-19 pandemic had clearly gotten to us all, even Kate McKinnon. One minute Dr. Wenowdis (Kate's character) is hilariously taking Colin Jost's blood pressure, and the next minute Colin is cracking up and asking, "Kate, are you okay?" A now completely out of character Kate McKinnon comedically addresses the audience about the woes of the times, and they end with a collective "wecandodis."

7. "Debbie Downer At A Birthday Party"

For someone who's supposed to always dampen the atmosphere, Debbie Downer never fails to bring joy to the friends around her. Ironically, Rachel Dratch's slight breaks in character bring a special element to Debbie Downer that suggests not negativity but a form of satire. This appears quite evident throughout the sketch as her fellow cast members dwell on the humor together.

6. "Close Encounter"

Kate McKinnon managed to reduce Ryan Gosling to tears in this skit about their alien abduction experience. The bit is seemingly going fine, but then the camera hilariously pans to Gosling, who can't help but crack up.

5. "Dr. Beaman's Office: Test Results"

When Molly Shannon and Will Ferrell first catch sight of Tim Meadows during the live show, they begin to lose it. Chris Parnell, however, manages to stay in character throughout the entire skit.

4. "FBI Simulator (Larry David as Kevin Roberts)"

Larry David is nearly unrecognizable as Kevin Roberts in this sketch. Even Cecily Strong, who rarely breaks character, can be seen holding back a laugh. Meanwhile, Pete Davidson serves as a comical extra, smiling and reacting in the back throughout the entire thing.

3. "Another Close Encounter"

Ryan Gosling returns to SNL in "Another Close Encounter", but this time with a baseball cap to help conceal his laughter. As Kate McKinnon describes her extremely different experience with alien abduction, Ryan Gosling shakes with laughter. Even more so, he struggles to make it through his lines as Cecily Strong manages to stay in character.

2. "The Californians: Stuart Has Cancer"

Interestingly enough, it is said that it was not scripted for Fred Armison to say "wutareyoudoinghere" in the sketch. When Armison unexpectedly drops this line, the reactions on Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig's faces are undeniable. As the sketch continues, Hader's face only continues to get redder and redder.

1. "Jeffrey's with Sean Hayes"

Will Ferrell was notorious for changing up lines on the spot or randomly improvising the rest of a skit during live shows. From the second he enters the screen in the background, Jimmy Fallon and Sean Hayes begin uncontrollably laughing. As it turns out, Ferrell's use of the scooter and tiny phone had not been scripted and came as a surprise to Fallon and Hayes in the moment.
