It's always a gift when the live sketch comedy gets so intense on Saturday Night Live that someone "breaks" -- which is to say, they break character and laugh.

The latest SNL, featuring guest host (and former cast member) Bill Hader, took breaks to a new level: Everyone laughed.

In the sketch, a group of friends (Heidi Gardner, Aidy Bryant, Melissa Villaseñor) watch in horror as a fourth friend (Cecily Strong) commits a grave social faux pas in bringing her geriatric new husband along to their weekly game night. The horror only intensifies when the old man's Cialis kicks in, and the newlyweds seize the babymaking opportunity right there in front of everyone.

Things get weird, fast, and no one can hold it back. At one point, Hader has to physically shield his face behind Strong while he works to hold back the laughter. This is peak SNL breaking for anyone who's a fan of such things.
