Editorial Reviews

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


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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have! Hoping for a Best of Part 2!!!!, May 24, 2006
By RSR (So. Cal) - See all my reviews
Good stuff for any Cheri Oteri fan. I personally think that Cheri's talents were very underated and I'm glad they finally released this dvd. One thing I wish they included in this best of dvd was the "Robin Bird Show" where she played a has been porn star with a talk show. It was pretty over the top. Maybe they will release a part II dvd. There are still so much other matieral that she has done so I don't see why they couldn't! Highly recommended and you won't be sorry you purchased this dvd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ya best simmah!, June 28, 2007
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simma Down Nah!, November 17, 2006
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!
