SNL is awful these days but this was pretty good I have to admit.
I saw the sketch this weekend and laughed. Called my wife over to the living room to watch it, and she belly laughed as well.

Why is Gardner using words like 'anxiety' when discussing breaking character. In the interview, she discusses that she has a job to do, and it isn't getting done if she breaks character. I disagree. She has one job: to make people laugh. By her breaking character, she certainly made people laugh...because it was sincere.
What's going on at SNL to make the cast think this way?
I think that's what made it better, anyone else but Mike Judge doing the voices isn't going to sound good, so they kinda played it differently.I love basis and burgess but I didn't understand this one at all
They just sat there and didn't even do the laughs or voices, what's funny about that

in a way you’re both right, but breaking character is generally frowned upon, even though it always makes viewers laugh more. Rachel Dratch was convinced she was for sure going to be fired after the first (& now iconic) Debbie Downer skit aired

I found it funny how all the extras were solid and only the cast members, even the one in the audience I forget his name, were losing it.I think the breaking character deal wouldn't be as funny if they did it all the time. What makes it funny is it's rare and people know they aren't supposed to break character and laugh.
Also I would bang her into a Bolivia.
