how does Kristen not lose it in any of these sketches? They're hilarious!

[irisw]

ya'll are like "I feel so bad for Doneese" and I'm like "i AM dooneese."

[CharoEscuro]

That tiny fur muff cracked me up so much and I don't even know why.

[dhakirah]

The little cuff doonese had😂then when she threw it😂😂😂

[Droemar]

My grandmother used to watch the real Lawrence Welk, and the look of the sketches is spot on. The bubbles, the conductor's baton, the music. We as a family secretly loathed the Lawrence Welk show, so these sketches made us howl.

James Franco looks like he's in pain.

When she moved Jenny Slate with her little hand, I started crying! LMAO

[MrDino]

An intentionally-lost episode of Lawrence Welk. So happy they found it.😅
