Eh. The SNL people can’t actually do their jobs and y more and not break character. It’s ruined a lot of skits over the years, yet people seem to act like it is some special skill they have.

Sucking at your job is now somehow lauded.

I think it's hilarious when it's subtle/contained. The actress' break in this one kinda wrecked a really funny skit though.

People are so miserable. It’s funny. It’s ok to laugh sometimes

The Matt Foley skit is one of the best ever and they broke character. This shite was funny

This skit was ruined by the female cast member breaking character. It could have been an all time great but it falls flat due to her lack of professionalism. Wiig, Poehler, Fey. Oteri, Shannon, McKinnon would have all handled it without breaking.

Just ashamed such a great skit was ruined by people not doing their jobs.

Harvey Korman started doing it on the Carol Burnette Show and it got a lot of laughs. Since then, it's become a thing on comedy shows. Jimmy Fallon did it pretty much every sketch. It's just a way of turning lame sketches into mildly funny ones.

Thanks Jimmy Fallon. He started the trend. It was taboo and frowned for SNL actors to break. Lorne went soft.

After finally watching this skit, I’m going to agree with you. Breaking character isn’t completely out of the norm for funny SNL skits. Even Cowbell had plenty of it. But this was ridiculous. Both Gosling and the host chick made what should have been a hilarious skit almost unwatchable in moments.
