Ryan Gosling and the Saturday Night Live cast can’t stop laughing even during rehearsals in a behind-the-scenes video of the viral Beavis and Butthead sketch. Gosling hosted SNL on April 13 to promote his upcoming movie, The Fall Guy. He was in an array of goofy sketches, and one in particular featured Beavis and Butthead lookalikes and was the standout of the episode. Gosling plays an audience member at a town hall who distracts interviewee Kenan Thompson due to his uncanny resemblance to Beavis. He is replaced by Mikey Day, who makes matters worse because he looks just like Butthead.

Now, Saturday Night Live gives a behind-the-scenes look at the viral sketch, showing the cast’s hilarious attempts to not break character while in rehearsals. Check out the video below:

The video focuses on the table read, Day’s makeup process, and the dress rehearsalwhich sees Heidi Gardner break out laughing just as she did during the live show. It also features a clip from the show itself, in case viewers want to relive the hilarity.

Why Gosling’s Beavis And Butthead Sketch Is Being Declared The Best In Years

Seeing The SNL Cast Break Character Delighted Viewers

The video is a rare peek at the many stages of preparing for a sketch. In showing the dress rehearsal, the clip reveals how SNL cast member Heidi Gardner saw the Beavis and Butthead makeup before the live tapingwhich only makes her later reaction to seeing Day even more amusing. The sketch proved difficult to film while staying in character, for even one of the most seasoned SNL alums.

The SaturdayNightLive cast’s struggles to remain in character extended beyond rehearsals. Gosling couldn’t help but laugh during the live airing, and Gardner broke character when she saw Gosling and Day’s Beavis and Butthead costumes again. Although Gardner had seen their appearance before the live airing of the show, as the video shows, she still had trouble holding in her laughter. Their breaking of the fourth wall made the sketch even bettercritics and audiences proclaimed. It’s nice to see the performers find humor in the sketches they create just as viewers do.

Although Gardner admitted to feeling unprofessional while breaking character, the Beavis and Butthead sketch has still been declared one of the best SNL skits in years. Lauded for being simple yet hilarious, the cast’s genuine enjoyment and fun during the scene only made it better. While it will be difficult to top the viral Beavis and Butthead sketch, Saturday Night Live season 49 will continue to air on NBC on Saturday nights at 11:30PM in the coming ways.
