That was fantastic. Her mistake turned it into one of the funniest bits they've ever done. Watching them try to hold it together for the last two minutes was killing me.
I mean, it shows how well you can improvise when you can make a skit entertaining when you've gone off script. And they still held it together. This was a good one.
these arent "breaks"...its unauthentic, phony bullshit to make it seem like a goof more than it really is and they overplayed it and dragged it out...just a bunch of smug fucks laughing and screwing up in an unfunny bit with unfunny writing and unfunny performers with there stupid fucking annoying voices...
If only there was a special Carol Burnett edition of this segment.... oh, right. There's no easy they're gonna be able to bring that elephant into a room that small.
This show is legendary for the political humor, but I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. Such great comedians with such great chemistry. Keep doing what you do, guys.
Good god, it was so good I almost suspected it was entirely scripted! Then I remembered that I don't know very many writers that could write a moment so genuine, so I give it the benefit of the doubt and by GOD is it a great moment ^_^
Stunningly funny!...tears streaming down my face from laughing! Brings to mind the best of Tim Conway and Harvey Korman from the 'Carol Burnett Show'. Excellent choice to let this air as is...just keep it rare so as to preserve the freshness!
This is why bloopers and outtakes are the best part of every show :D Best video since forever! :D This was borderline SNL level comedy right there. Just as funny as Dretch breaking her Debbie Downer character :D
I mean, Amber was right, that WAS a surprise, to literally everyone, even Amber herself 😂😂😂. (Its been years and I still come back to this clip, it's too funny).
Hey Amber the segment is called "point, counterpoint" not "point, point at counter"... but I guess you could say the counter does have a point over you now so...counterpoint 1 you point 0! haha all jokes aside you and everything you do has 1000 points in my book some of the best clips and writing on television!
Although there is female prejudice, men are generally more capable...whan it comes to being at the top of any profession...cooking,designing clothes. Directing is no exception.
That would be me though. With her being a writer and not on stage she's not used to having to control herself and hold back laughing. She was cracking the whole time thinking about the cannon lmao
Niles Livingston III I think it's because she's an upbeat and fun perspective even surrounded by cynicism and darkness. You know, like the Wonder Woman movie in the DCEU, or Wonder Woman in No Man's Land.
I love Ally, but she is a writer, rather than an actor. She's probably also a bad train conductor. Why do they keep putting Seth's name on what is clearly Amber's show? Is that the joke? Is it like a meta thing? He should clearly be running something like a Weekend Update desk on Amber's Late Show.
Really? I personally disagree. Out of the three of them she's the only one who managed to not completely break character, and ad-libbed a way back on track. That's pretty darn hard. I should know, I tried drama school for a year before deciding it wasn't for me.
TheAnanyo @WatchMojo will have 45 seconds of this segment, 42 of which will be narration incongruous editing of the clip, and you’ll only see four frames of Amber actually shooting herself.
Its awesome when a comedy segment goes south and the unscripted reactions are even funnier than the script. Even Seth had trouble holding back the laughter. Well done!
Took me a while to realize Seth's serious face toward the end was actually part of the sketch, since it seemed so creepy and weird juxtaposed with Amber's hysterical laughter, haha.

One of those things sure didn't hold itself together.
That was such a genuine laugh. That's so adorable
Nothing is funnier than breaking character. Reminds so much of Stefon!
Funniest break in character Ive ever seen, and I love breaks in character. You guys handle stuff like that so amazingly! Hilarious.
these arent "breaks"...its unauthentic, phony bullshit to make it seem like a goof more than it really is and they overplayed it and dragged it out...just a bunch of smug fucks laughing and screwing up in an unfunny bit with unfunny writing and unfunny performers with there stupid fucking annoying voices...
Why does this make you so angry?
Slight grammar mistakes: a butthurt Trump fan?
B Robert I'll miss you most of all, scarecrow! Buh bye now..buh bye!!
If only there was a special Carol Burnett edition of this segment.... oh, right.
There's no easy they're gonna be able to bring that elephant into a room that small.
That's a pretty historic break in character. I'm sure some producer working at SNL somewhere would be proud.
This show is legendary for the political humor, but I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. Such great comedians with such great chemistry. Keep doing what you do, guys.
y'all havin way too much fun...love it!
How did Ally not immediately break character?
Ally’s attempt to stay in character was impressive.
Amber lost it! LMFAO! I just love her.
love amber she's hilarious
With all due respect, I'm officially in love with that fine woman.
Good god, it was so good I almost suspected it was entirely scripted! Then I remembered that I don't know very many writers that could write a moment so genuine, so I give it the benefit of the doubt and by GOD is it a great moment ^_^
Seeing Amber struggling just to stay serious is hilarious XD
Stunningly funny!...tears streaming down my face from laughing! Brings to mind the best of Tim Conway and Harvey Korman from the 'Carol Burnett Show'. Excellent choice to let this air as is...just keep it rare so as to preserve the freshness!
I laughed so hard I cried. She shot herself! hahahaha
I think this is one of my favourite moments from this show
This is why bloopers and outtakes are the best part of every show :D Best video since forever! :D This was borderline SNL level comedy right there. Just as funny as Dretch breaking her Debbie Downer character :D
I come back to this every time I need a laugh. That bit could not have gone any better
edit: I started laughing in anticipation lol
This is maybe the best video from Late Night.
i go back and watch this video sometimes when i'm having a bad day lol
That mistake was really funny.
Best "Point, Counterpoint" Segment EVER! Ha, ha, ha, ha...
I about died laughing when she shot herself with the confetti cannon!
5:15 - Amber's laughing gasping for air.
breaks in character is sometimes better than the jokes. Case in point.
Love the hall and oats reference!!!
Tricia Tripp sorry, I couldn't go for that
ThomThom Nope, no can do
That was a joy to watch! Lol
I loved watching them just laugh :))) It made me laugh for no reason
I'll admit, I belly-laughed! Great job, you guys. :D
Best. Episode. Ever.
That. Was. Hilarious.
That was probably one of the best I’ve seen!!!!
I mean, Amber was right, that WAS a surprise, to literally everyone, even Amber herself 😂😂😂. (Its been years and I still come back to this clip, it's too funny).
I haven't laughed this hard in ages. I love this.
Best comedy writers on TV . Amber is fresh and brilliant .
It was actually a funny bit, but when she shot the cannon backwards I DIED laughing! LOLOLOLOL
Just goes to show, the funniest things in life are unrehearsed.... or rehearsed a lot and still executed with a major 'whoops.'
This is Late Night at its best!
Can Amber just have a show? She's so funny and bright I'd watch the heck out of that.
even the dumbest Seth bits are hilarious because they're all clearly having so much fun. They love their jobs and it shows.
best
argument
ever!
That was a hell of a lot of fun packed into 6 minutes.
that was better than every snl character break in the last 10 years
I kind of agree with the funnier one.
I loved this segment!!! Amber is wonderful!
you guys have too much fun on that show :)
Some of the best writers in late night.
Amber needs her own show
this gave me that deep, uncontrollable laughter where you're crying and braying like a jackass.
I laughed so hard I snorted.
This is the greatest. The absolute greatest.
It's still funny today!
This felt like SNL, I loved it.
Someone should have pointed the big confetti canon at themselves at the end to continue the bit.
MY FAVORITE SKIT YET
Amber can do no wrong. She's adorable.
I love her laugh
Best point/counterpoint ever!
Hey Amber the segment is called "point, counterpoint" not "point, point at counter"... but I guess you could say the counter does have a point over you now so...counterpoint 1 you point 0! haha all jokes aside you and everything you do has 1000 points in my book some of the best clips and writing on television!
THIS WAS FANTASTIC!
I am falling in love with Amber! :-D
This....is....amazing!
Amber is a treasure and needs to be protected at all costs.
4:46 The struggle is real
Pure Joy, Live it up Ally and Amber
2:!7 lmao this sketch was hilarious and if nothing else i needed to be reminded rich girl existed!!
Huge opening? Do tell Seth son of Seth!!!!
That cackle 😂
Hope the janitor got a bonus that year
That face at 5:48 !!
2:51 well... it was a surprise....
Took me until the end to figure out this wasn't a Jimmy Fallon SNL sketch...
not sure why. this was funny
Well, that's just a blast....JIC no-one in corporate notices, they DID NOT HAVE FUN AT WORK......Amy, Amber, Seth.....wtg.....keep on keeping' on.....
So funny
Amber needs her own show!
Although there is female prejudice, men are generally more capable...whan it comes to being at the top of any profession...cooking,designing clothes.
Directing is no exception.
tylerden 🙄🙄🙄🙄
It was not the first female-led superhero film ever, but it was the only food one.
best ever!
its fun to watch coworkers have fun. i know they gotta be cracking up all day together. i know i do with my coworker and we arent comedians 😂
Pulling herself together to deliver the "surprisingly serious and moving" part of the skit was an absolutely *_heroic_* effort by Amber. Bravo!
That glorious break in character!
Jorrin Nolan 4th walls are for scrubs
I'm not saying it's good, but it's refreshing that they were also having a good time at their expense.
Jorrin Nolan They can not stop laughing after that, Amber hold her laugh until the end of her part and just broke after
I'm just glad that those confette canons aren't that powerful. It would have sucked if she hurt herself.
That would be me though. With her being a writer and not on stage she's not used to having to control herself and hold back laughing. She was cracking the whole time thinking about the cannon lmao
Funny bit became absolutely hilarious once it went south!
Werner van Alphen i
Word. I haven't laughed that hard at a gaff since Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert lost it over their Prince Charles Banana bit.
I was going to abandon the clip til I saw your comment. Thank goodness I didn't!
point, counterpoint. obviously she had to point the confetti at the counter
pun, counterpun?
Hey, now, somebody's got to put another pun on the counter for it to be Pun Counterpun. ... Oh, did I just deliver the pun-chline myself?
Gringo ASMR booooooo
Jesus Christ just put Amber in every bit and somehow, someway it'll end up amazing.
Niles Livingston III yes! she is amazing! (and beautiful!)
snl next?
Niles Livingston III I think it's because she's an upbeat and fun perspective even surrounded by cynicism and darkness. You know, like the Wonder Woman movie in the DCEU, or Wonder Woman in No Man's Land.
Amber is hilarious as always but also props to Ally for staying in character and adapting to the situation until Seth said to break.
This was the cutest! I love Ally and Amber. Bring them out more.
that Ally's a pretty BAD actor... sorry, but she just keeps overacting throughout the whole skit.
I love Ally, but she is a writer, rather than an actor. She's probably also a bad train conductor.
Why do they keep putting Seth's name on what is clearly Amber's show? Is that the joke? Is it like a meta thing? He should clearly be running something like a Weekend Update desk on Amber's Late Show.

no dont...they both are awful
I agree- they were great and that break was so hilarious.
*2 years from now and this is gonna be in a "top 10 prop fails on air" compilation.*
TheAnanyo @WatchMojo will have 45 seconds of this segment, 42 of which will be narration incongruous editing of the clip, and you’ll only see four frames of Amber actually shooting herself.
Was just strolling (scrolling?) by here.... Dammit, I'm not in charge of the compilation now am I?
Not exactly but it is in a Woman of late night compilation so you weren't far off XD

I love wheh shows can do this, step out of the scene, have a great time and laugh at themselves. It's so genuine, I love it
Its awesome when a comedy segment goes south and the unscripted reactions are even funnier than the script. Even Seth had trouble holding back the laughter. Well done!
Allie and Amber work amazingly well together. Allie is such a great spoil to Amber's ridiculousness, she almost managed not to break character. xD
GIVE 👏 AMBER 👏 HER 👏 OWN 👏 SHOW 👏
She is actually getting one on peacock that’s coming out this month
@@anushkaverma741 I was just about to say that exact thing haha
I love Amber! Ally is amazing too! And Seth of course. I would love to meet them in real life! 😄
Amber is so precious.
Every time they make a mistake on this show, it ends up being so endearing.
Amber's laugh makes me crack up. 😂😂😂 She's so cute.
This was wonderful. The genuine fun they were having just made me laugh harder.
Amber needs her own show
And now she has one
Seth crumbled after Amber's dying seal laugh cracked him up.
Took me a while to realize Seth's serious face toward the end was actually part of the sketch, since it seemed so creepy and weird juxtaposed with Amber's hysterical laughter, haha.
All right, it's official: I have a thing for Amber Ruffin
Stand in line . . . its a VERY LONG line.
Frank Svatek can I cut in line?
-just squeeze in right here-
Amber, I trully genuinely love you
How can you NOT love Amber???
ummm...'cause I have a sense of humour and I'm not a bigot? Besides, she's cute.
***** well, if you come out of your sisters room once in a while, you'd notice.
amber ruffin's laugh is the most beautiful thing.
