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

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!

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!

Classic Storybooks.......2007-05-29

As a preschool teacher, I love that Scholastic has chosen to animate some of my favorite stories. This collection has some of the best stories by some of the top children's authors. They contain the same stories that my students ask to read again and again, plus some new additions they love. The movies are all of the highest quality. Favorite characters come alive with voices, movement and music, while staying true to the original picture books. On a rainy day, I can show my class one of these videos without feeling guilty. And, I know my own young children are using their TV time watching educational/quality content.

Our kids' favorite.......2007-03-01

This collection is fabulous, and has provided hours of entertainment for our 3 kids. They go through spells of being addicted to one or the other of the shows. Just about every one of the different stories has been a favorite at one point or another! There are 3-4 extra stories on every DVD as well, and these are at least as good as the main stories. The collection is great find--fun music as well.

Great TV for toddlers / preschoolers.......2006-12-12

I got this as an alternative to TV programs for my 2 1/2 year old son. It's such a nice collection. Each DVD runs about an hour and has tons of stories. He loves it and this is a really good deal too for 6 DVD's. They are all from books and ranging from really funky 60's-70's animation to ones that are from stories just a few years old. It's great!

Fine viewing for all ages.......2005-08-31

I have seven grandchildren ages six and under and there is a great and very favorite story for each and every child in this set, and for me as well, since I watch what they watch and I love it when they ask to watch this set. They even discuss the different stories long after they have watched them. Yesterday, the 22 month old watched, Pete's A Pizza, three times in a row, laughing each and every time. My favorite is, The Amazing Bone.I highly recommend this set.

A set that can't be missed.......2003-10-15

If you and your kids love children's books, then you cannot go wrong with this set. It's a STEAL! Each DVD has an average of 6-7 of the best stories in children's literature. The artwork and narration is exactly the same as in the books. These DVDs are educational and really bring childhood favorites to life in a new way. Don't miss these. Be sure to expand your collection with some of the new ones as well, such as Click Clack Moo Cows That Type, Harry the Dirty Dog, Goodnight Gorilla, Twas the Night Before Christmas, and The Snowy Day.

The excellent Scholastic Video Collection spotlights the author of Shrek, William Steig. The title story is one of his warmest and most uncharacteristic--a simple story about how parents find a fun activity for their bored son by imagining him as a pizza. The other stories, "Doctor De Soto" and "The Amazing Bone," have more typical Steig bite; the former (an Oscar® nominee) is about a mouse-dentist who takes on a risky patient, while the latter tells of Pearl the Pig who finds a talking bone. All three stories are wonderfully illustrated, and Chevy Chase ("Pizza") and John Lithgow ("Bone") supply pitch-perfect narration. As with all the DVDs in this collection, the added content doubles the running time. Three additional stories keep the rambunctious air that made Steig (like Roald Dahl) so popular with kids and adults, although sensitive kids and parents might find the perilous situations unfunny. Tomi Ungerer's "The Three Robbers" and "Moon Man" bookend Margaret Mahy's "The Great White Man-Eating Shark," which follows a boy who pretends to be a shark and scares beachgoers. All in all, another winner for kids ages 4 and older. --Doug Thomas

Description

PETE'S A PIZZA: (Narrated by Chevy Chase, Music by Raul Malo) When Pete is in a bad mood, his parents cheer him up by making a pizza with a very special ingredient -- Pete!

THE AMAZING BONE: (Narrated by John Lithgow) Pearl befriends a talking bone she finds in the woods. A hungry fox captures them and brings them to his home. How will they escape?

(All stories written and illustrated by William Steig)

DVD Features: The Three Robbers; Moon Man; Great White Man-Eating Shark; Getting To Know William Steig; Read Along; Interactive Menus; Story Selection

Customer Reviews:

Pete's a Pizza - ALL stories on this DVD are great!.......2006-03-13

My kids (ages 2,4,6) love this DVD. It is filled with great stories by William Steig. If you are not familiar with his stories - you may know him as the author who created Shrek. These stories are gems - very enjoyable children's stories that really entertain and contain some type of moral or lesson- in a very subtle way. Pete's a Pizza (narr. by Chevy Chase) tells about a boy who is feeling glum and his parents pretend to make him into a pizza by rolling him, etc. Really cute family story. Doctor DeSoto is great - mouse dentist and wife who are visited by a fox with a toothache. The Amazing Bone is narrated by John Lithgow- charming story. The bonus stories (not W. Steig) are just as good as the other stories. The Three Robbers- about three robbers who stop robbing and open a home for children. Great White Man Eating Shark - about a boy who wears a shark fin to scare away other swimmers.... This is one of THE BEST Scholastic book videos. Great animation, music, etc. I am buying another copy to keep on hand...we love it that much!

Docter, docter, docter, docter........2004-03-08

This is a great collection and is Chevy Chase's best films. (Well, and Vacation.) My favorite out of the three would have to be Spies Like Us. It's so funny when they go into the tent with a bunch of docter's and they pretend to be docter's and they greet each other like this "Doctor, doctor, doctor, nice to meet you doctor, doctor, docter, docter, nice to meet you, doctor, and doctor. Funny farms special features are horrible. All we get on the menu is Play, Scene Selction, and Set Up. Come on warner, for this classic, aleast add a trailer and a commentary. But Spies Like Us is WORSE. How, all it has on the main menu is Play and Scene Selection. Not even a set up, and yet it's fullscreen. Shame on you warner. Caddyshack's features are ok. Good documentary but should have had a commentary. Let's say, (even with the lack of features on two of the films) that this set is well worth your money.

Caddyshack- This is a great film. Bill Murray and Chevy Chase are hilarious in this film. Althou it is a little crude, and is not for your kids, it will still have you rolling with laughter. The golpher is the best part of this movie. He is so funny. 9/10
Rated R for language, sexual content, mild violence, crude humor, and nudity.

Funny Farm- This is a pretty funny film and the box doen't lie. This is some of Chevy's best work. It is a movie for the whole family to enjoy on a friday night. One of my favorite parts is when the ducks fly away and Chevy's says "Bye fellas". Then you hear a gun shot and the birds come flying back and he says "Hi fellas." 8/10
Rated PG for some mild language, crude humor and some violence.

Spies Like Us- Now this movie is the real treat in this set. It had me laughing my @$$ off all the way through and you will too. Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase are great together. Enough said. "I was gonna do your family a favor and install the the disney channel for free, but forget it." 10/10
Rated PG for launguage and some crude humor.

Great for encouraging my young reader.......2006-07-27

My 3 year old son loves to watch these stories. We have some of the books and it helps him to be able to read the actual books to me.

Save your money.......2006-07-15

My children love the DVD of the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle - it is wonderful. We also have the book "Click Clack Moo, Cows That Type" and it is a favorite. I was looking for more educational and interesting "book on DVD" like Caterpillar for our 3 and 5 year olds to watch for our trip home from Florida. I found this collection, and based on the positive reviews, I ordered with second day shipping. I was thrilled when they arrived. We went through the DVDs one by one - and each is only 20 minutes long, as opposed to the normal 1 - 1.5 hours of current DVDs. Also the illustrations were a little primitive... and a couple of the stories were just down right scary, and at one point my 5 year old wanted me to turn it off. One story has a song that goes over and over and over again about a child saying "I don't care..." and you guessed it - for the next 3 days that is all our 3 year old said. We got home a couple of days ago, and I am returning this immediately. I think "Click Clack Moo" is a good DVD, but that 20 minute DVD alone is NOT worth $[...]. Save your money and get the Eric Carle book on DVD and any of the Curious George ones.

Great in the car.......2005-12-19

I love these videos. They are perfect for the car. Instead of watching movies, they are watching books and it reinforces what they learn in school. Great for all ages.

Scholastic rides again!.......2005-09-19

The great thing about this set is that by preschool, the kids are familiar with the stories and they love to have them repeated in a visual manner. These are great to have quiet time with and my kids have even taken them to school for rest time and the teachers love them, as it is merely a book on tape with pictures!
