The Los Angeles premiere of "The Fall Guy" featured a few surprise guests: Beavis and Butt-Head.

Stepping out on the red carpet on April 30, the film's star, Ryan Gosling, and "Saturday Night Live" comedian Mikey Day reprised their live-action depictions of the iconic '90s cartoon characters from a recent viral sketch on the comedy show.

The pair's sketch, which aired on the April 14 episode of "SNL," featured Heidi Gardner as a journalist interviewing an artificial intelligence expert, played by Kenan Thompson, who was distracted by two men in the audience -- played by the "Barbie" actor and Day -- who bore a striking resemblance to Beavis and Butt-Head. Gardner couldn't contain her laughter at the sight of Day, resulting in an epic character break.
