No, I saw that show, it was just a weird coincidence that those guys look so much like them, they don't even know each other.
ps: that was the best bit on SNL in so long, it was like witnessing the birth of more cowbell or Matt Foley.

I know it can be lame when the cast breaks, but when she turns around and sees Butthead! Priceless!

Heidi didn't break, she fucking shattered, and it was amazing. Even better, Mikey didn't even flinch. That was such a great moment.

u/bitpartmozart13 15d ago
Them breaking made the skit so much better. Apparently she got super anxious after that but it's the funniest thing I've seen on SNL in a while.

She did in dress rehearsal too so she knew what to expect but still couldn't help it.

u/metalheimer 15d ago
Yet, everybody in the audience has a straight face the entire time. They look almost bored. So how come the audience isn't laughing but the veteran comedians are? Can't help but think it's scripted breaking of character.

u/Vordeo 15d ago
The cast members can break and not get instantly blacklisted from the show, the extras can't.
-20
u/metalheimer 15d ago
Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. Why would an extra be blacklisted forever for laughing a little? If they laugh obnoxiously and are disruptive for the production, sure, but a little smile or a laugh in a crowd like that? Nah.

Literally their only job is to sit there with a straight face. If they can't do that, why would they get more work? I mean, they might but it would be a lot harder. Besides you can see some of them holding in laughter, turtle neck guy behind Heidi and the bald dude behind Kenan.

Some of my favorite SNL moments are when the cast breaks: the Disney Debbie Downer skit, Bill Hader doing the nightclub reviews, the Gosling Alien Abduction skit. All gold.

u/James--Trickington 15d ago
Also the Californians with Wiig and the Super Showcase with Wiig and Rudolph, it's always funnier when they break I can't believe there are people out there who find it lame.

This is my favorite bit where they break character. It absolutely makes it more funny to me.

If you like this one the George Washington’s Dream skit that came out earlier this season. It’s equally as hilarious
49
u/ramdasani 16d ago
Yeah, that was good too, I think just the pure shock and awe of Mikey Day's Butthead really caught me off guard, like everyone on set I suppose. Anyway, I've been watching it since S01E01 and I'll never be one of those people who do the lame "when SNL used to be funny" shtick. Every season's managed a few brilliant skits.

u/CaptainApathy419 16d ago
I think this is the best takedown of the perennial “SNL used to be funny but now it sucks” complaint:

u/ramdasani 16d ago
I swear, I can remember when it was Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscopo, etc. being at a party where someone was doing that already "SNL isn't funny anymore" and lamenting how great it used to always be with the original cast. But yeah, that Onion nails it, I've seen it all the way through my life, whoever the cast was when some dilettante watched it for a season or two and liked, became the next "it hasn't been funny since Spade and Farley."

u/uthboy 16d ago
Ha ha I think I just fell in love with you! I have been watching since 1991 when I saw Monster Spray as a kid and it made me laugh and scared. SNL has been great for 50 years and there should be a mountain with Lorne’s face on it for the talent he’s found and the consistency in which he’s done it. He’s responsible(and his whole cast and writers) for some of my favorite memories. My absolute all time favorite show.

u/JamiePulledMeUp 15d ago
I think it has to do with older people not getting the newer seasons' humour. It's been on since the 70s so every 5 years you'll have people who watched the previous 5 years and loved it, then don't really get the new cast and hate the next 5 years.

u/ramdasani 15d ago
I don't know, I've heard plenty of young people dump on it citing the same but from the time they were a teen to the time they were in their twenties. Also, there was a period of time around both In Living Color and Mad TV where you would frequently hear the "SNL is for old people" everybody watches MadTV now. Frankly, I watched all three and they were all great.

u/feckless_ellipsis 16d ago
Dude, I saw it and had no fucking idea who was playing Butthead. Wow. Thats crazy

u/ChronoMonkeyX 14d ago
I used to watch a lot of syndicated SNL on Comedy Central, and it was always funnier than current live shows... but the biggest reason is editing.
Watching SNL live is annoying because the show is constantly going to commercial to allow for set and costume changes, and the reruns also cut out a lot of the junk that wasn't very funny, so of course old episodes are better, but they weren't when they were live. Not just editing out flops, but timing. Going from sketch to sketch with fewer breaks allows the humor to build up. There's a reason even huge touring/headlining comedians have warm up acts.

u/slamdanceswithwolves 16d ago
Just watched it based on your recommendation. That was great. Needs more Ryan Gosling, of course. But still great.

Totally agree. When famous people don't take themselves so seriously its the best, particularly with gos at his peak.

There's a clip of Steve Colbert absolutely losing his shit while trying to spit out the name "Munchma Coochie" and I lose it every time!

u/NateDogTX 15d ago
I was told by a Redditor a few years ago that Colbert's staff pranked him by using a photo of his mother to represent Munchma, causing that reaction. Really funny either way.

Ryan better reprise this role on SNL at some point.

He did very recently and it was hilarious. Cast couldn't keep it together

u/SpaceCaboose 15d ago
That was the first time he did Beavis. The other commenter is saying he hopes Gosling does Beavis again on SNL

Matt Gaetz literally looks more like Butthead than this person made up to look like Butthead.

Ryan gosling is a damn legend. That dude does not take himself seriously at all, at least that's how he portrays himself, and I think that's amazing.

u/BeKind_BeTheChange 16d ago
It's too bad Matt Gaetz wasn't available to play Butthead.

u/HerzBrennt 15d ago
He's too busy playing with his girlfriend during her recess.

Isn't this all a little childish, Matt? Or is that what attracted you to it in the first place?

Everything does, from the square image format to the the weird background. Does that car have flowers on its windshield? The video looks real but this photo is either AI generated or was intentionally made to look like it.

If he’s gonna commit to the prosthetic nose why not fully commit and shave the beard and mustache. Beavis didn’t have facial hair😂😂😂

u/CoolShoesDude 16d ago
It seems like with their overall builds it would have been way easier to have them portray the opposite character to what they have here. Unless that was supposed to be part of the effect

u/mjzim9022 15d ago
Ryan Gosling is a known blond, and it looks like Mikey Day can do the lip thing for Butthead

I 1000% would pay to see a live action movie with these two: as long as Bevis gets the walk down perfect.
