What are we expecting? [/quote]

It can be very, very annoying to other cast members and writers.

Imagine this: You are a relatively new SNL cast member. One of the writers finally wrote a skit you were perfect for. Some really funny amazing stuff happens at the end. But before that stuff happens, another cast member (oh, let's say Jimmy Fallon, because he was notorious for this), starts "breaking" ... and the audience roars in response to his un-contained laughter. They find it adorable. They find it funny. They love it. The amusing thing is now Jimmy Fallon "breaking," and the the hilarious end of the skit all but disappears in it. The writers' hard work? Doesn't shine. The new cast member? Fades into obscurity.

We actors call it upstaging. Chewing on the scenery. It's not appreciated. [/quote]

The breaking is often funnier than the entire skit![/quote]

Yeah ... for you. [/quote]

Um, SNL hasn't been funny in years but you do you boo!

It’s impossible to take seriously a 12-year old Valley Girl who starts her post with “Um.”

Boo.[/quote]

Valley Girl? Oh ok Grandma[/quote]

DP. It does make you look dumb. [/quote]
