Product Description
Will Ferrell may look like the guy next door, but there's nothing ordinary about his comic creations. From 1995ito 2002 he dominated Saturday Night Live with characters as different as Craig the Cheerleader and President George W. Bush. See the best of Celebrity Jeopardy and Bobbi and Marty Culp, along with plenty of yelling, near-nudity, and more cowbell. Plus there's extra material, including Will's favorite scenes that were cut after Dress Rehearsal and never seen until now.

The latest in the line of Saturday Night Live's great character players (including Dan Aykroyd and Phil Hartman), Will Ferrell showcases his fearlessness in this 72-minute collection. Whether exposing skin or taking a pause beyond the normal limits, Ferrell induces hard laughs like with the cowbell rocker in the first sketch. The selection includes Ferrell's spot-on impressions of Cub announcer Harry Caray, game-show icon Alex Trebek, President Bush, and Inside the Actor's Studio host James Lipton. As with other SNL Best of... retrospectives, there are short snippets to go along with the full-length sketches that include excellent selections of Ferrell's returning characters Craig the Cheerleader and the swinging Culp brothers. A must for fans, and the DVD includes an intriguing audition footage in which Ferrell leaps from character and character. --Doug Thomas

The Best of Will Ferrell - Vol. 1
The latest in the line of Saturday Night Live's great character players (including Dan Aykroyd and Phil Hartman), Will Ferrell showcases his fearlessness in this 72-minute collection. Whether exposing skin or taking a pause beyond the normal limits, Ferrell induces hard laughs like with the cowbell rocker in the first sketch.

The Best of Will Ferrell - Vol. 2
There is no drop-off in laughs from the first to second volume of Will Ferrell's work on Saturday Night Live. Giggle along with his recurring characters, including James Lipton (interviewing Kate Hudson as a wonderfully ditzy Drew Barrymore), a wickedly clever George W. Bush, and one-half of the smarmy Lovers couple. This volume spotlights Ferrell's ability to go successfully over-the-top whether as an overbearing boss (check out how long he keeps stabbing a doomed coworker), a strict airplane pilot, an absent-minded doctor, or the world's oldest baby. There's plenty of unabashed (near) nudity and risky violence, which keeps the SNL tradition of "Not Ready for Prime Time"; check out what longtime hosts of the morning talk show resort to when the much-needed teleprompter fails. All that plus "Janet Reno's Dance Party" (with guest Rudy Giuliani) makes this the perfect pick-up for those who could not get enough of Ferrell with volume 1. --Doug Thomas

Ok.......2007-06-27

I like Will Ferrell and SNL, but this wasn't as good as I had hoped. Some of the skits are on both DVDs.

The god of comedy.......2007-01-18

The title says it all! Will Ferrell is hilariously funny and dramatic in ways that will find you rolled up on the floor crying!

Vol 1 is good but Vol 2 is not as good. .......2006-12-16

Vol 2 has some repeats of things that were in Vol 1. Some of the sketches seen on Vol 1 are more extended verisons like the sketch were Will is wearing a half t-shirt and a thong like underwear to the office, celebrating patriotism. Another one would be an extended verison of Will being born. I didnt find this as funny especially towards the end. Vol 1 is definitely better. You should buy it if you want Will Ferrel beating up Rudy Giuliani (former Mayor of New York). I got a kick out of that. But I do suggest people buying it separately.

Hilarious.......2006-11-02

Sketch after sketch, this DVD delivers. It's clear to see why Ferrell is now a film star.

Don't bother with Vol. 2.......2006-08-22

Will Ferrell is in my oppinion the best cast member SNL has ever had. Vol. 1 of this collection includes pretty much all you need. All his famous characters: Marty Culp, Gene Frenkle in the famous "More Cowbell" sketch, Alex Trebek in the "Turd Ferguson" Celebrity Jeopardy sketch, The Spartans are on there of course, Robert Goulet, James Lipton, Harry Carry, The Lovers... The only thing it lacks is a really good Bush. There is a short Bush segment, but not the finest. Vol. 2 opens with the "Access of Evil" Bush sketch, but unless you are a die hard Ferrell as Bush fan, don't waste your time with vol. 2. The only things Vol. 1 really lacks is a "Morning Latte" or "GET OFF THE SHED!" I would have loved to see that on there, but alas, one can't camplain too much. Plus, Vol. 1 has a hilarious blooper reel and Will's apperance on Conan as Robert Goulet. Bottom line, don't bother with vol. 2, there's nothing on it you can't live without. I give this collection 3 stars just because vol. 2 isn't worth it. You can buy them seperatly, and had I known ahead of time, I would have rather than buying the set. I give vol. 1 5 stars. It is simply "scrumtrelescent"

Product Description

Cheri Oteri's peppy, energetic style always made her characters on SNL hilarious to watch.

From physical comedy (along side Will Ferrell) as the Cheerleader, Arianna, to impressions of Barbara Walters and Judge Judy, to wacky characters like Rita Del Vecchio, Nadeen or prescription drug junkie Collette Reardon, Cheri made audiences laugh so hard they often needed time to "Simma Down."

Now you can own the best of Cheri's performances on one DVD. Be sure check out the bonus features such as the audio commentary and get a first-hand account of SNL from Cheri herself as well as a sketch from a dress rehearsal that's never been seen until now!

Format: DVD MOVIE

Amazon.com

Cheri Oteri breathed bracing fresh air into the seasons she appeared on Saturday Night Live, and created memorable characters both absurd and delightful. This 78-minute disc contains samples of some of her signature performances, including the preternaturally peppy cheerleader, Arianna, paired with a strapping Will Ferrell. (Ever tried to lead a cheer at the team's…swim meet? Arianna never met a challenge she couldn't conquer.) Oteri also takes on media icon Barbara Walters, satirized decades earlier by the incomparable Gilda Radner as Baba Wawa. Oteri's impersonation both pays homage to Radner's and takes it to a new level of absurdity; Oteri's Walters is a randy, name-dropping old coot who doesn't miss a beat--or an opportunity to aggrandize herself ("I was horseback riding the other day with Saddam Hussein…"). Don't miss the brief skit where Walters tries to have phone sex with a nonplussed Tom Brokaw. Other signature characters include Oteri's Judge Judy and the prescription hound Collette (appearing here in a priceless bit with John Goodman as a flummoxed pharmacist). And of course, the abusive Burger Castle counter chick Nadeen, who shoots down every customer request with a "Simma down, now!" Extras include audition and dress rehearsal footage, and an audio commentary by Oteri. --A.T. Hurley

Customer Reviews:

Ya best simmah!.......2007-06-28

This is one of my favorite SNL DVDs. I've always wondered why these DVDs weren't longer; they could easily fit twice the skits on one disc. Still, they chose Cheri's material well: Nadeen's "simmah" skit with Tobey Maguire, Collette's prescription chase with John Goodman, Cheri's horny wife to Chris Kattan's horny husband with Sarah Michelle Gellar, and the classic Mrs. Delvecchio skit with Christopher Walken...not to mention 2 awesome cheerleader sketches. All of these characters had other great skits as well (the horny husband and wife buying a car from Ben Affleck was priceless) but this is a solid 80 minutes of comedy for a great price. Pick one up - you won't be sorry.

Mad TV rips her off.......2007-05-11

Has anyone else noticed how the female performers on MadTV consistently do characters which are essentially ripoffs of the ones Cheri did better when she was on SNL?

A GREAT COMEDIANE - POOR CHOISE OF SKITS.......2007-01-17

I LOVE CHERI OTERI. SHE'S GOT A LOT OF TALENT AND IS A RIOT TO WATCH. WHAT DISSAPOINTS ME THOUGH IS THE INDIVIDUAL COLLECTION THAT SNL HAS RELEASED AS "THE BEST OF" WHEN ALL OF US KNOW THERE ARE BESTS THAT ARE
SURPRISINGLY MISSING FROM THESE DVD'S AND MEDIOCRE ONES ARE PRESENTED. COME ON GUYS, GET ON THE BALL!

MORE CHERI OTERI.......2007-01-03

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A WHOLE VIDEO OF NOTHING MORE THAN:
1) OVER MEDICATED GEEZER
2) SIMMA DOWN NAH
3) CHEERLEADER

SHE'S THE BEST AND SNL HAS TANKED SINCE SHE LEFT.
COME BACK CHERI !!!!

Simma Down Nah!.......2006-11-18

Taco! Burrito! What's that under your Speedo?

I love Cheri Oteri's characters! She was always someone I looked forward to seeing on SNL during her era on the show, and I was very sad when she left. I was so excited to see this at the video store last week, I picked it up without hesitation. Her Barbara Walters bits are great, and of course Arianna is great, too. My favorite is still Nadine, though. I can't help but laugh every time I see the Burger Castle skit. I hope they put the other Nadine skits on another dvd along with other classic Cheri performances. Everyone needs to go out and get this one today!

Uneven, but funny.......2007-06-13

Certain sketches are just not funny, but the ones that are more than make up for it. The Harry Cary/Jeff Goldblum science sketch is hilarious; it was worth buying the whole DVD just for that one sketch.

Funny stuff.......2007-03-18

I got this especially for the cow bell episode, its so stupid so hilarious, and so Will Ferrell, buy it.

Not Enough.......2007-01-29

Ferrell was such an important part of SNL. He had so many good sketches and characters. At 72 minutes, this dvd doesn't do him justice. It does have 1 skit of each of his major characters, but there are countless skits I remember that are left out. I realize that you can't have everything, but they could have made this a 2 hour dvd and filled it with more. The extras make this worth the buy though. I guess at the under $10 price makes it worth it overall.

Want More Sketches!.......2006-12-16

I'm a HUGE Fan of Will Ferrel. I watch SNL all the time and when Will joined the show I couldnt stop cracking up everytime he was in a sketch. My favorites are the Cowbell and the Roxbury sketch which is in this dvd. But I was hoping for some more Jeopardy sketches because the one in the dvd wasnt my favorite. I do have admit that the sketches of Will seemed to be thrown together randomly. I especially disliked the actor studio sketch with alec baldwin. But everything else I totally loved. I kind of miss Will on SNL because SNL sketches aren't as funny anymore. Will does love to ad lib though which you can see in the sketch of "Space the infinite frontier" playing as Harry Caray. Jeff Goldblum was confused and Will Ferrell actually made the sketch more funny because of that. Overall it is pretty good but I want more sketches!! Vol 2 isnt as funny. I wouldnt recommend Vol 2.

More Cowbell.......2006-08-18

This is hilarious. A little bit of something for everyone. The classic "More Cowbell", to Jeopardy with the sparring between Alex Trebek and Sean Connery and "dissing" your dog. If you like SNL and Will Ferrell, you will really enjoy this. BTW, we laughed so hard we woke up the little ones.

This Is A Must Own.......2006-03-21

The official Amazon.com review towards the top tells it like it is. Forget the vast majority of the other reviews, because these people clearly don't understand what Will Ferrell humor is all about. THIS is what Will Ferrell is all about. Don't you guys see?
This volume is so much better than the first. I laughed harder than I had in a very long time watching it. This is definitely the funniest of the SNL best-of compilation things. These are the best skits on the DVD: the bad doctor ("...and then we just straight up lost him"), the bad boss ("I should rape you!"), and the inside the actor's studio thing ("nor they you") are tied for my favorite. Bill Braskie, and the lovers thing are also pretty funny. Invite some friends over and watch it--you'll fall off your chairs laughing. Peace, I'm out.

Unbelievable.......2006-02-27

Stunned. That is what I am, after viewing this disc. I have never been moved to write a review like this before, but I cannot believe what I just saw. This is supposed to be funny? SNL is still on the air? (shakes head) Unbelievable.

Please do not waste your money on this disc. Will Ferrell and the various nonentities who appear with him are pathetic, but what is far, far more pathetic is the so called "writing." These skits are sad, unfunny, and quite probably an embarrassment to the writers' parents.

I rate this 1 star only because I cannot post a zero, or better yet, a negative number.

Only a few laughs.......2005-11-23

This volume is definitely not as good as the first. Most of the skits included are not what I would call "best of" material.

With the exception of a few funny moments, this is an utter waste of time and money. I am a huge fan of Will Ferrell's comedy, but he was short-changed with this DVD volume.

way better than the reviews! .......2005-10-15

this was even funnier than the first... the last 3 or 4 skits aren't too great but the rest are hilarious! i definitely recommend this dvd!

I Love Will...........2005-09-02

BUT, do not buy this. I did not take the advise of the other reviews and bought it anyway, thinking they did not understand his comedic genious. I am such a fool. His first "Best of" is fantastic! This was just more of the first disk (honestly, half of the disk was more of the same skits!!) and a rather failed attempt to give you more cow bell. I hate to write a bad review, but save your money and your time.
