Louis C.K. and Kate McKinnon completely lost it on 'SNL' this week

C.K. and McKinnon both break -- repeatedly -- as they struggle to nail their thick Polish accents.

Kate McKinnon's usually the one who leaves her fellow Saturday Night Live cast members in stitches. But when she appeared with host Louis C.K. in this sketch from the April 8 episode, neither one could keep a straight face.

The premise casts the two as period-accurate performers re-enacting the life experience of 1913 apartment dwellers at New York City's Tenement Museum. The punchline sums up straightforwardly as: "racism."

In any other week, this would have been a totally standard SNL sketch. But C.K. and McKinnon both break -- repeatedly -- as they struggle to nail their thick Polish accents. It's a thing of beauty.
