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.

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!

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.

I have waited so long for this DVD to finally come out!!!! I was amazed at all the "MALE" best ofs and virtually none of the females being recognized as some of the top comics of SNL. This is a genuinely super DVD!! I laughed all the way through - get it - this one's a keeper!!!!!

The first person who reviewed this is right- so much more of Cheri Oteri was missing from this DVD but I have waited (impatiently!) for YEARS for the release of this DVD so I am just glad to have some best of Cheri Oteri on SNL to watch- over and over. I hope they do release a part 2 DVD. Cheri Oteri needs her own show- like Tracey Ullman where she can explore her characters and create new ones. This DVD made me pee in my pants from laughter.

If you want a good belly laugh, just watch this dvd. It is good medicine for the soul! The Simma character gets funnier and funnier every time you see it. Leg up is priceless. She is a true comic original with talent that is greatly missed. Where are you Cheri? I hope there is more to come!

Best gift ever! I had been waiting for this to come out and it's even better than I expected. The audio commentary is hilarious! Hopefully, full seasons of SNL will be released soon.

I love Cheri Oteri. She is the best thing that SNL had! I am sad that she is not on the show anymore, if you seen the show in the last few years you no what I am talking about. The best years was from when Molly, Will and Cheri Oteri were on the show, I miss those years. If you read this thing Cheri Oteri make more movies or do a TV show. I speak for lots of people! We WANT TO SEE MORE OF YOU! WE LOVE YOU! And there better be a Part 2 DVD. You would need 10 best of DVD's b/c everything this girl has done was just the best. Pick this DVD up! and Cheri Oteri we miss you and love you :*(

The 4-star rating is no reflection on Ms. Oteri herself, who was always my favorite cast member. She is amazing and can make anything hysterical, in my opinion. And the DVD does have its strong points; namely, the "lost" Morning Latte sketch and the audition footage. But why the Barbara Walters/Cheerleaders montages? I would have rather seen ONE entire BW/View sketch rather than 10 seconds of all of them. Surely they could have fit some of these on instead of, maybe, the full length airplane sketch with Chevy Chase, who seems to get more laughs (why?) while being woefully unfunny. The commentary is great - for the most part it's stuff the average SNL fan would want to hear. Cheri comes across as very genuine in person, which I kind of knew already. Naturally funny, talented and intelligent! What more could you ask for?

I love this DVD!!! So far I have 2 of Will Farrell's and one Chris Farley and this is by FAR my favorite!!! I love all the cheerleader sketches that she and Will did - and the "Simma Down Na" was just sooooo funny. My family uses that phrase all the time now. I need MORE, MORE, MORE Cheri Oteri !!!!! Pleeeaaaassse!
