* In one of the fan-favorite ColdOpenings of ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'', the one where the precinct attempts to guess why Santiago is late, when Holt begins to guess, you can clearly see Stephanie Beatriz (Diaz) covering her mouth to cover her laughter. After Holt shouts, "HOT DAMN!!", it ends rather abruptly, because, according to Beatriz, the entire cast started laughing hysterically after he shouted that.

** In "The Funeral", Herr Flick and Helga get sprayed by dirt from an explosion. Creator/KimHartman gets the giggles due to how ridiculous Richard Gibson looks and completely loses it because Gibson absolutely refuses to break character and reacts as Herr Flick would have.
** Creator/RichardMarner is visibly trying not to laugh during [[{{Malaproper}} Officer Crabtree]]'s speech at the end of "Pretty Maids All in a Row" ("I was pissing by the door, when I heard two shats. You are holding in your hand a smoking goon; you are clearly the guilty potty."), even though his character believes he has just seen a double homicide.
** In another episode, Edith and Michelle argue violently, ending with Michelle coldly noting that she could replace her as a waitress, and she also can sing. Creator/KirstenCooke ad-libbed the ending: "off the note!" Creator/CarmenSilvera managed to stay in character, but Creator/GordenKaye was clearly trying not to burst out laughing.

** Dougal's line "...and instead of a mouth, he's got four arses" in "[[Recap/FatherTedS3E2ChirpyBurpyCheapSheep Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep]]" (while describing the mythical Beast of Craggy Island) was improvised by Ardal O'Hanlon. In the episode proper, it ''appears'' to go by without breaking anybody up, save for a brief roar of laughter from the audience and no breaking whatsoever from either actor. However, this was apparently edited down from a good long stretch where both Dermot Morgan and the audience absolutely pissed themselves laughing.

** Conway was so good at this he could even do it by doing nothing at all. An anniversary special had Carol Burnett show us the unused footage from a skit where Tim is supposed to keep interrupting Harvey Korman's speech at a political dinner by loudly crunching potato chips. In the aired sketch he continues to do this forcing Harvey to repeatedly stop his speech to ever more angrily demand he stop, but in the outtake scene, we see that Tim stops the first time Harvey asks him to and simply spends the rest of the scene paying rapt attention to Harvey's speech. Watching Harvey being forced to improvise dialogue for getting way farther into the speech than he was ever supposed to, visibly waiting for Tim to crunch chips and trying not to crack up as he has to improvise, and occasionally giving Tim an "I'm going to kill you for this" death Glare while Tim just contentedly smiles at him is absolutely priceless.
