Premise was great, but would have been much better without everyone but Keenan breaking character. You couldn’t even hear the Beavis and Butthead laugh toward the end.

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

That's a little different IMO. Everyone knew Farley and Spade were buddies, and you could tell that Farley was doing his best to try and get Spade to break.

The same goes for Stefan on weekend update. The whole premise is that he's never seen the jokes before reading the cue cards, and the writers are trying to get him to break.

For this one, I'm not sure if Heidi Gardner knew what they looked like beforehand or not. Trying to get her to break (if that was what happened), does not work so well with this sketch. It would have been better if Gosling didn't break at all though, and kept a straight face, like Keenan.

There's a genuineness to instances like that which can't be faked. It's like the Biggus Dickus scene from Life of Brian (the actors playing the guards didn't know Michael Palin was going to get in their faces, they had been instructed only to "not laugh" at anything) or Havery Korman and Tim Conway on the Carol Burnette Show (Conway would often extemporize in order to try to get Korman to break character).
