Editorial Reviews

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.System Requirements: Runnig Time 72 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 031398841920 Manufacturer No: 71092

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been much better, August 15, 2003
By 
J. Evans "jer" (Fort Wright, KY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Saturday Night Live - The Best of Will Ferrell (DVD)
This DVD is great, but could've been much better. At only 75 minutes, SNL/NBC are giving a [weak] product. Of course Will Ferrell doesn't disappoint at all on this though. Skits include:

-Behind the Music: Blue Oyster Cult ("more cowbell")
-Spartan Cheerleaders @ a chess match
-"Dissing Your Dog" commercial
-Harry Carey show
-the annoying lovers (with Rachel Dratch)
-the pretentious NYC store clerks (with Jimmy Falon & Sean Hayes)
-the bum as the nude art school model (can't remember his name)
-fishing with Bush Jr & Sr
-Jeopardy with "Burt Reynolds" "French Stewart" and "Sean Connery"
-Robert Goulet does gangsta rap
-Bobby & Marty Culp at the Drug Awareness seminar
-Inside the Actors Studio w/Charles Nelson Riley
-Roxbury guys with Jim Carrey

the extras are pretty cool..especially the deleted skit with the "old prospector." I think that's the funniest thing on the whole DVD. It also has Will's "tryout" with SNL, and 2 Conan O'Brien appearances.

But what is missing is the Neil Diamond Storytellers. I can't believe they left that off. SNL/NBC really could have given everyone a quality product but they just phoned it in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not sure about 'Best Of', but still funny, August 26, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Saturday Night Live - The Best of Will Ferrell (DVD)
Like most Saturday Night Live 'Best Of' compilations, it would be more accurate to call this a random sampling of Will Ferrell skits than his greatest ones. How else do you explain the fact that there are throw away skits like the dysfunctional family, yet only brief clips of him doing George Bush and Janet Reno, among others. Also there are a few skits on this that are also on the Best of SNL 96-97 tape.
With that said, this DVD does have enough funny skits and redeeming value to make it worth checking out. You can't go wrong with him playing a flustered Alex Trebeck in 'Celebrity Jeopardy;' his Marty Culp the singing/preaching principal is also always good for a laugh. Both longtime fans and those who don't know Ferrell's work as well will appreciate the range, audacity, and irreverence of the characters he played.
There are also some good extra features, including two very funny apperances on Conan O'Brien. Again this is not perfect, but still is well worth a look.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Gouuuulet.", August 19, 2004
By 
B-MAN "B" (Earth, occasionally. Until I get bored.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Saturday Night Live - The Best of Will Ferrell (DVD)
It's true that Will Ferrell's contributions to SNL can't be summarized on one dvd, especially not one running a little over an hour (one episode of SNL is 90 minutes), but that's not to say that the material here isn't hilarious. The problem with these collections is that fans have their favorites and almost always a few of them are missing and that's definitely the case here. In fact, some of the particular recurring sketches like "Jeopardy" & "Inside the Actor's Studio" could've chosen better examples than what ended up here for those. Again, what is here is funny and the extras are nice too. Here are the sketches in order that make up the main feature (the sketches are pretty complete except for where I list them as "snips":

Marty & Bobby Culp: Drug awareness assembly
VH1 Behind the Music: Blue Oyster Cult (with Christopher Walken)"More Cowbell, baby!" - A personal favorite!
Dissing your dog training video
Spartan Cheerleaders Chess Team tournament
Robert Goulet: Coconut Banger's Ball
Snips - Will in thong at business meeting/Mini Cell Phone at new wave store/Rachel Dratch gives birth to Will
Jeopardy: Burt Reynolds, Sean Connery, French Stewart
Inside the Actors Studio: Charles Nelson Riley (Alec Baldwin)
The Devil teaches Garth Brooks a song
Snips: George W. Bush/Janet Reno boxing Guliani/Clinton, Monica, & Saddam on the phone
Space the Infinite Frontier with Harry Caray (& Jeff Goldblum)
Hot Tub Luvas (with Drew Barrymore)
Roxbury Guys (with Jim Carrey)
Snips: Good Morning Latte/Dog Show
Nude guy poses for Art Class (with Lucy Lawless)
Family yelling at dinner (with Sarah Michelle Gellar)
Jacob Silj: Voice Modulation (on Weekend Update)

Extra Features:

Will Ferrell's audtion for SNL as Harry Caray
Unaired Dress Rehearsal sketch: Prospector in the Army
Will's Conan appearance in black underwear (plugging Roxbury)
Will's Conan appearance as Goulet

Outtakes: Hot Tub Luvas (with Winona Ryder), Goulet as Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Sketch (with Seinfeld), Voice Modulation on Weekend Update, George W Bush & George Bush Sr. (Dana Carvey), Neil Diamond on Weekend Update, Fight in club (with Ellen Degeneres), Tap dance (with Katie Holmes), and Mini computer email at New Wave shop (with Pierce Brosnan)

As you can see, the disc is above average in content and as far as these collections go, this one's up there. None of these collections will be perfect because the focus is on stars who have done a slew of hilarious sketches and many of them will be left out. Personally, I was disappointed to not see the VH1 Behind the Music on Neil Diamond...priceless. I agree with a previous reviewer that said Will needs something like a three disc set to even scratch the surface of his hilarious work on SNL, but this is better than nothing and probably as good as it will get unless SNL one day sees Season set releases. So I'd say start digging up your dubbed from TV SNL marathon VHS tapes, unless you have none, then by all means pick this up!
