There’s a lot of pressure when it comes to putting on an episode of Saturday Night Live: it is live, after all.

As a result, cast members and hosts need to stick to their scripts closely in order to keep the sketches flowing smoothly – and they also need to keep a straight face as they fly through dozens of jokes every night. But what happens when they…can’t?

Time and time again, we’ve watched over the years as the cast of SNL, and myriad celebrity hosts, absolutely lose it after cracking up at one of the jokes they’ve said, the sheer absurdity of the sketch, or something entirely unexpected happening in a scene. In most cases, it only makes the sketch even more hilarious for the audience watching at home.

We’ve rounded up some of the best moments where the SNL stars have absolutely lost it during a sketch.

Check out all the times Saturday Night Live stars broke character inside…

Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo are about to bring the laughs.

The two co-star in Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar, a new comedy from the duo who also brought us 2011′s Bridesmaids.

The movie also stars Jamie Dornan, Damon Wayans Jr., Fortune Feimster, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Rose Abdoo, Vanessa Bayer, Phyllis Smith and Kwame Patterson.

In the movie, which arrives on February 12, lifelong friends Barb and Star embark on the adventure of a lifetime when they decide to leave their small Midwestern town for the first time…ever.

Along with releasing the trailer on Thursday (January 28), the duo have entered the Oscar race with songwriter Mark Jonathan Davis (or Richard Cheese) with a song called “I Love Boobies,” which Variety provided a tease of with an exclusive.

“I don’t want this to sound like showbiz baloney, but Kristen and Annie are just the best. This was my first big-time Hollywood movie role, and they gave me this amazing opportunity and treated me like royalty the whole time,” he explained of the role.

Lionsgate also submitted a second song from the film, “Welcome to Palm Vista,” written by the duo, along with all other eligible categories, including best picture and original score for composers Christopher Lennertz and Dara Taylor.
