This is my favourite episode. Bill Hader has said that Fred caught him off guard with the wudareyuudoinghere as it was different than in rehearsal. They barely hold it together. 😂 Brolin does an awesome job in this too
You probably know by now but the recorded rehearsal is on youtube, and Bill can’t keep it together hehe. Maybe Armisen did it normally during table rehearsal or something
I just LOVE Bill Hader but it’s Fred Armisen that makes this skit so hilarious. When he tells someone to get back on the 405 and NEVER GET OFF ugh...die laughing
Not often I see a highly rated post without a comment. So I just wanted to say hi! Also, super stoked to see Brolin on SNL. I love when I'm in the middle of an SNL marathon and I stumble across a host I love who I didn't know was on.
My brother started working in LA a couple months ago and he kept laughing because everyday felt like an episode of The Californians when people started discussing which route they took to their work site that day. He said people would look at him funny when he was chuckling to himself, but then he started playing the sketches for people at lunch, and now they’re doing the exaggerated accents when they tell each other how they got to work and he says it’s a much more entertaining place to work! 😂🙌
I want to go to California just so I can get back on San Vicente take it to the 10 then switch over to the 405N and let it dump me out into Mulholland where I belong
the 405 doesn't dump you onto Mulholland - it doesn't even have a bloody exit for Mulholland... blame all the bogus street directions on their improv writing.
LIKE you are so right! NOBODY wants to go to freakin Long Beach. That’s soooo far away & my phone says there’s an accident on the 405. Like maybe I can take a shortcut, for real .
@Stimulator7 yeah right you're like so lying you probably like don't even like know anybody like out here you're probably from like East Dakota or like something. Smh
Fun fact: in the read and dress rehearsal for this skit, Fred had just said “What” normally and that’s how it was written. But live he said it like you hear without Bill or Kristen being aware he would say it like that. That’s the main reason they’re about to crack.
They were pretty phenomenal talents! SNL was lucky to have them. Kate Mackinnon, Cecily Strong and this new lady Heidi Gardener are all pretty amazing too....oh! AND I think Beck Bennett and Mikey Day are pretty strong comedic talents as well.
Don't ask! I took the I-95 off route 28...I only made it on time because I jumped lane 4, and made the turnpike at 90 clicks to speed onto highway 11 and FINALLY hit the I-60! It was hell!
I saw Bill on Seth Meyers show and he said that Fred wasn't supposed to run the sentence together like that, but when it came time to do the sketch thats how he slurred it and it caught Bill and Kristin both off guard so bad that it was impossible to stay composed from that point on...pretty much Fred sabotaged them from the first sentence XD
Come live here for a few years, and rewatch this. You’ll have actual tears in your eyes from laughing so hard. This is rich with deep truth and sheer comedy.
As a third generation Californian woman one of the first pieces of advice my grandmother gave me about making conversation with boys was to ask what route they took between their house and the party. It worked every time - I always had an ice breaker for any conversation.
The stereotype where they talk about the highways and roads are hilarious and also extremely true... as a person who has lived in Northern California their whole life I can confirm it.
@@jamesisntmexican thats not entirely true .. me and my friends and family are from Norcal and we say the 101 but it is entirely subjective up here ..so we have learned it somewhere ...
Is it true that Angelenos have actually started emulating the sketches that emulate them, so that they'll draw it out when they say "Marina Del _Reeeey_?"
Where I live roads don't make sense and we all use alleys and washes, roads are for the tourists and every road turns into four different roads as you drive down it so you're suddenly on a road you don't know even though you never turned.
I rarely do and I'm a Californian born and raised. I go based off of landmarks like "the biglots next to the 99 cent store" or "the good little Cesar's pizza" lol.
Bill Hader is trying so hard not to laugh in most of the skits he's in. He's an amazing actor and I love that he gets into it so much that he almost loses it in every sketch he's in.
God I loved this scene when first saw it live, but it's even better knowing the backstory. This was a running bit between Bill and Fred, they'd talk about their vacation week trips to LA and do stupid voices and talk about streets. Eventually several actors and writers were in on it and it became this soap opera skit. Anyway, the whole week Fred does the "what are you doing here?" line in a regular voice, but during the show he does the now legendary "wha-whaaaaateerrr you doing here??" which caused both Bill and Kirsten to break instantly. 😂😂 That's exactly the type of thing I would do to mess with cast members.
Kenan Thompson in this skit def gave off Terry Crews vibes in Benchwarmers when we wore that blonde white person wig. It looks so unnatural that it's pretty much impossible not to laugh 😂
SNL nailed the part where SoCal folks always describe roads with intricate detail in their greeting with one another. "...and I took Wilshire to Vermont to get here..."
you can really see how it physically hurts Hader trying NOT to burst out laughing... his teary eyes are something of the funniest i've ever seen :-))))
I'm an L.A. native and when I moved to the east coast for a few years I thought it was weird that people didn't use 'the' when they would reference freeways and highways. Didn't realize that's just a Cali thing. HAHA.
Lexi Ryan I like you am a CA born who is on the east coast... I had to get used to not saying The 95. And when I get really lazy my accent comes back... Also when we say words like Dad and Cat it comes out as Dyad and Cyat.
I now know why they broke when he asked what they were doing! He was supposed to say "devin? What're you doing here?" Like he did in rehearsal, but he said the funny way, which was not the plan, and they were totally unprepared! XD it's also really funny. XP
Watching Bill trying to keep it together gives me life
Vikram Sohal ikr
Agreed
Amazing
its fake
1:28
XD
As a Californian I can confirm the dialogue is 100% realistic because all we ever talk about is driving lol
Whuut??
@@jorgeal167 cuz the traffic is so bad
Don’t forget he bought tangerines on the side of the road that’s Cali af
Except one thing: San Vicente doesn't cross the 10 freeway...
Yes. Because california traffic sucks!
Watching Bill Hader try not to laugh is the best part of this sketch haha
*any sketch
*They cut out the where he busted out laughing and couldn't even say his lines*
You said it! I was going to write the same, he's the funniest when he cracks up :)
Tom Caruth ooooooooWhaaddddd rrrr you dooooooeing here?
Its funny
I need a t-shirt that says “Devon?.......OOOOOWAADDERYUUDOINGHEER”
That's my favorite part ❤️❤️
Please!!!
I'd like one that simply says, "Just get on the 10 and get out of here!"
“HeyIthinkyoushould go home now, Devon!”
ME TOOOOO!!!!!
This is my favourite episode. Bill Hader has said that Fred caught him off guard with the wudareyuudoinghere as it was different than in rehearsal. They barely hold it together. 😂 Brolin does an awesome job in this too
haha and Kristin Wiig turning around giving Bill a wtf look apparently lol
Tre😂
This story is so funny
You probably know by now but the recorded rehearsal is on youtube, and Bill can’t keep it together hehe. Maybe Armisen did it normally during table rehearsal or something
So many of the hosts in Californian sketches are such misses.
"At this time of day, it's gonna be jammed" made me laugh so hard because she's right.
Totallay.. like.... Snicker. I love this. Born in LA grew up in San Francisco.
Are you crayzyaih
Jammed sounds like jumped when she says it
I was looking for this comment omg😭😭😭 it’s my favourite line
Are you crayzah?! It's gonna be "jommed".
I just LOVE Bill Hader but it’s Fred Armisen that makes this skit so hilarious. When he tells someone to get back on the 405 and NEVER GET OFF
ugh...die laughing
ikr! fred does such a good job in this skit and his accent is funny and consistent
At this time of deh? Are you crezeh? It's gonna be jahmd!
Yeah I think that Fred tries to crack up everybody if you really watch it close way over and over you can see it but they're all geniuses
@@daxbradley4346 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fred steals the the show while bill tales the backsit a real lesson for play.
I love how at 3:31 when she says “you can do this” she’s not talking about him beating cancer, but she’s talking about the route to Marina del Ray.
Hahahaha! That shit gets me every time!! 😂😂😂😂
"It's almost Long Beach man!"
You mean Marina Del Raw
Yea, it's been over 10 years, and I still crack up at the Angeleno being more concerned about the traffic and parking than the actual cancer.
Rare footage of Bill Hader kissing someone that’s not a dude on SNL

So do you understand everything that they say? It's hard to understand their accent.
Man, the dress rehearsal is even *_better_* because of how much Bill Hader was losing his shit in that first scene, hahahaha
666 likes ayyyyyyyy
Yes Lol I like that one better
Where do I find that
@@akanksharana6145 look it up on RUclips I found it pretty easily
The main reason I love these so much is that no-one can keep character :')
As a Californian, this is all accurate.. I think since they live in or around LA the accuracy is too funny to contain it lol
On a side note, the Zankou Chicken on Sunset and Fairfax on the border of Hollywood and WeHo is way way better than the one in little armenia
You’ll love the dress rehearsal version. More breaking of character:
ruclips.net/video/N-BmxK-0Jts/видео.html
I was the 2.5k person to agree
Pyfacefornever
Me too. Makes it even funnier. I just got thru watching all of Carol Burnette. Love watching Harvey and Tim try to keep in character.
I want to go to California just so I can get back on San Vicente take it to the 10 then switch over to the 405N and let it dump me out into Mulholland where I belong
rickyzig at this time of the day it’s gonna be jammed!
Bruh San Vicente doesn’t get to the 10. You gotta take San Vicente to la cienega to get to the 10
r3i6nm8n ooowhadderyoutalkingabout? he could take San Viscente to Wilshire hang a left and take the 405N from there
San Vicente turns into Ocean then going past the pier to the start of the 10.
the 405 doesn't dump you onto Mulholland - it doesn't even have a bloody exit for Mulholland... blame all the bogus street directions on their improv writing.
2:38 Brolin's accent goes from Californian to Irish to Minnesotan in about 15 seconds
Canadian too.
@@artimp152I def heard the Canadian in there! 😂😂
the way he says “validates” and “know” at the end of sentence is so funny
@@ErnestoMaldonado-mq8mx oh yah bud, you better believe it
I love how the character gets told he has cancer and the only thing he's worried about is the location of the hospital
And the parking options lmao 😂
“But it totally validates”
I mean, he'll die without the treatments so he has to be able to make it through traffic and park. LMAO!
Can you blame him? It's almost in Long Beach-lol
LIKE you are so right! NOBODY wants to go to freakin Long Beach. That’s soooo far away & my phone says there’s an accident on the 405. Like maybe I can take a shortcut, for real
.
I love it when they break character and laugh. And I don't remember almost any skit with Bill where he doesn't giggle.
yeah, he a Kimmel always broke lmao
Mate. You're thinking of Fallon, not Kimmel
hah, yeah. Thanks for the correction.
It's funny because in California we actually tell directions like that 😂
MobiuS 360 😂😂😂 yes
So true.
This is especially what it sounds like from an outsiders perspective lmao
It does, my NYC friends make fun of my accent constantly. I was born and raised in LA/San Diego.
Dylan Bowling only if you're from Socal.
Maybe that’s why I don’t get it? It sounds like the right to give directions to me lol. I was born & raised in San Diego
"Stuwart, at this time of dah its gonna be jammed are you crazay?"
"Stuwart look at muh you can do thus!"
Loll love her
Ashyblubear “stuwart why yooh home so eurluh?!!”
that's an exaggeration of a stereotypical californian talking.
Yes. Southern California people talk like that.
@Stimulator7 yeah right you're like so lying you probably like don't even like know anybody like out here you're probably from like East Dakota or like something. Smh
Kristen Wiig absolutely kills that accent, what a queen
Agreed! And she's such a gorgeous genius.
Traaaa?
Tre! @@levis569
The way they all squeeze into the mirror!
I like the Ventura highway ripoff guitar every time
I love how Fred says "oowwwwhat are you doin here?" Bill, Kristen and Fred are my favourite SNLs actors ♥
Great choices!

Lucy my favorite SNL actors are Pete Davidson, Mikey Day, And my favorite Bill Hader.

As a Californian (LA born and raised) I can say full-heartedly that this is 100% accurate.
Londyn Harris Californians seem fun to hang out with, if they act remotely similar like this (:
Yeah I'm LA born and raised also, but I don't talk like that, nor does anyone I know...
That's why we don't go there
Londyn Harris wwwwadyuudoinherrrr?
Londyn Harris so am i and no it’s not 🙄

"it'll be jahmmed!" is a favorite in our household.
The stereotype where they talk about the highways and roads are hilarious and also extremely true... as a person who has lived in Northern California their whole life I can confirm it.
You're so smart there little buddy.

@@bellahenneke5664 Nah, this is specifically how them SoCal folk talk.

All of them trying to say his name like XD
"Chreh?!"
"Truagh?!"
"Tryyyy!"
"...Treh."
"Trrrey?"
"Mister Trey?!"
when they laugh it's more hilarious than it is already!
They know how rediculleously accurate they do it, they become so self aware and self conscious about who they are imitating...its out of control 😂😂😂😂
As someone from CA, I can confirm, we're all like this. This is completely and undeniably accurate.
The Dapper Llama I lived in DC for awhile and everyone would laugh at me for the directions I would give them. I said they could tell I was from CA.
That’s what I figured
Stephanie Rodriguez Its the same way in Arizona
I'm from LA and I'm like this. :(
Is it true that Angelenos have actually started emulating the sketches that emulate them, so that they'll draw it out when they say "Marina Del _Reeeey_?"
I can confirm every Californian talks about getting places using roads this exact way
EVERY Californian?
Where I live roads don't make sense and we all use alleys and washes, roads are for the tourists and every road turns into four different roads as you drive down it so you're suddenly on a road you don't know even though you never turned.
If you don't mention the roads. People can't get an idea of how to get there. You know, it's easier if you have a mental picture.
I rarely do and I'm a Californian born and raised. I go based off of landmarks like "the biglots next to the 99 cent store" or "the good little Cesar's pizza" lol.
I'm from Sacramento and I can confirm I don't know shit but watt Ave and Folsom blvd
Hearing her say “Stuart” gets me every single time 😂
Even after watching this a billion times, it still cracks me up. Best snl skit in a long time.
Bill Hader is trying so hard not to laugh. xD
Vlad Sicoe you should see the dress rehearsal version of this. He freaking loses it. Lol
Vlad Sicoe Stewart did the deep accent for the first time on the live show...killed the whole cast
You mean, "oooowha're youdooing here?"
Bill Hader is trying so hard not to laugh in most of the skits he's in. He's an amazing actor and I love that he gets into it so much that he almost loses it in every sketch he's in.
I love Fred Armisen!
This was so sad - he's got cancer and there's no parking. 😩
BUT the coffee bean across the street still fully validates!!!!
Penguin Community
I was gonna say the same thing. Totally beat me to it.
the parking problem probably hurts more than the cancer :)
Dude, Kenan Thompson's accent is frickin perfect, bro.
Yeah hanging around Kel had it's perks.
Well his name should of been Kel instead of Trey. Kenan never gives Kel Mitchell any credit for his work or act.
Seriously...I grew up in CA and he sounds just like every guy at my high school ever.
It’s brah, bro.
I love that honestly us Californians are the ones most into this skit. Can confirm we still quote it amongst ourselves.
Every time I have a bad day, I just watch one of the old The Californians skits. Cheers me up every time.
I'm a Californian. I've been on all those roads and freeways and they nail it... lol stay off the 405!
kravin moorhead except for whole Long Beach being by the 10 thing
It's the outer limits of L.A. county but the 14 is horrible.
Shit stay off all of them. The 105, 5, and the 91!
How do you know about Mullholland?!!!
Funny thing...mine just became upvote #405 on this comment, LOL.

“On the other side of the 10? Thats almost long beach man!” Im DED
I totally _felt that_ the traffic to Marina Del Rey is crazy. Incidentally, that's also where my specialist doctor practices😂😂😂
The way he said that, especially the "man!" was spot on. lol.
Gotta be careful with the 10, that shit can spit you out in Blythe California. You do not want to end up there trust me
It’s not even close
Never gets old. I pray they bring this skit back.
I'm sorry but I just love how dramatic Vanessa Bayer is as the housekeeper! The way she glides backwards and then ballerina runs at 1:57 is wonderful!
I like how Bill Hader progressively gets tense trying not to laugh. The music fits well too. 😂
THAT'S Josh Brolin?! THAT'S Thanos and Cable?! Josh Brolin is always a win.
Don't forget Jonah Hex!
He will always be Brand from the Goonies.

At this time of day- it’s gonna be JAHHMED! Are you crazahhhh??
Fred really carries this. Love Kristen's accents too. Most addictive soap ever.
Keenan was doing his best Kel impression! Hilarious!
I think he really enjoys the straight blond hair.
"At this time of day? It's gonna be JAHHMED, are you Kray-zeh?!?" haha
As a former Californian, the non-stop descriptions of the freeways and directions is accurate 🤣
bill hader's cracking up!!! always makes my day
Omg Bill Hader was literally crying 😭 😂
I'm a Californian and this is so accurate that I'm in tears from laughter.
Same. When I first saw this I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard
Josh Brolin is just mesmerizing. His acting choices are almost incomprehensible, but genius
I've noticed that the guest hosts who aren't used to doing the Californians accent tend to sound Scandinavian at times. That just makes it funnier! XD
SNL Has always had its peaks and valleys with their cast but this is definitely a peak!lmao!🤣🤣😆
I DONT CARE WHAT OTHERS SAY the Californians skits were my favorite
"Just get on the 10 and get out of here!" I will use this for the rest of my life...
One of the funniest skits on SNL!..Never tire of it. Such a great cast!
Fred Armisen is so awesome in this skit.
The black dude with the blonde surfer hair and soul patch. I fucking lost it lol
Kenan Thompson in this skit def gave off Terry Crews vibes in Benchwarmers when we wore that blonde white person wig. It looks so unnatural that it's pretty much impossible not to laugh 😂
He sounded like Ed in Good Burger
Kristen Wiig is totally barely holding it together lol
The way Kristen says _Stuart_ at 2:57 cracks me up every time
Those transitions from the hypnotic music and the mirror, to the wine pour, to the title over the ocean with the rich homes is the best.
Kristen Wiig is such a good looking woman.
She looked hawt in Wonderwoman 1984 😍😍
SNL nailed the part where SoCal folks always describe roads with intricate detail in their greeting with one another. "...and I took Wilshire to Vermont to get here..."
Bill always loses at "I think you should go home now Devin?"
you can really see how it physically hurts Hader trying NOT to burst out laughing... his teary eyes are something of the funniest i've ever seen :-))))
Kenan is 100% just doing a Kel impression
Welcome to Good Burger!
Kahl?
😂😂😂
I'm a dude he's a dude she's a dude we're all dudes HEY
Big time! Lol
Somehow these get funnier each time I watch them.
Definitely!
I watch this whenever I am having a bad day, because it is just hilarious watching everyone laugh
eeewwwhhh whurt errr yeeww dweeeying irr?

Plus there is no "freeway." They are highways.
Ha! It will always be THE 405!
It's just in Southern California. We don't say "the" in Northern CA.
Ha true. Moved from Santa Barbara County to Indiana, and people do kind of look at me funny because I always say “the 41” or “the 64”
Lexi Ryan I like you am a CA born who is on the east coast... I had to get used to not saying The 95. And when I get really lazy my accent comes back... Also when we say words like Dad and Cat it comes out as Dyad and Cyat.
One of the better skits from that era.

Anybody else notice Kenan's Californian voice sounds like Kel doing Ed from Good Burger, just a little more educated
I thought this was Jeff Bridges for like a good minute until I realized it was Josh Brolin.
I would watch the hell out of this show......if only :(
As a Californian, I find this............insanity accurate.
Except for the Long Beach part
Fred Armisen totally commits to this. He made Hader lose it. Wiig mostly keeps going but even she was out
Bill was trying so hard to stay in character!! 😂😂😂👌
That laughter afer the "I said go home" 1:05 sooo funny
Nildrojain that's so true.. when h said you should go home that was the funniest delivery ever
I'm from California and this accurately represents half of the people I've met
Things are so bad that I have to watch the first 1:43 minutes of this every morning now to make it through the day
The repeating suspense theme with the close up shot of faces always gets me. lmao
Bill Hader trying not to break out into total laughter is priceless! Comedy sketch awesomeness!
Kristen Wiig looks so good here
I heard she kinda has a thing for you, Sam.
God i wish they would make this into a show
As a Southern Californian, all of our dads constantly complain about the 405
i love the fact that bill broke in the same scene both in the dress rehearsal and here
The expression on bill face is priceless as he trying all his best to not laugh
As a lifelong resident of LA, I can attest to this being 100% accurate.
I love that they make each other laugh as much as they make us laugh.
As an actual Californian, I can confirm this is what we talk like
Funniest skit in a long time. It’s so true how people in LA are always giving directions. 😆
