5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest of the 'Best of SNL' so far, January 27, 2005

By	Bryan "Bryan" (Colorado Springs, CO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Saturday Night Live: The Best of Dana Carvey (DVD)

In my opinion, out of the three SNl Best Of's that i have watched so far (Will Ferrell volumes 1 and 2, and Chris Farley) this is the funniest and best yet. Dana Carvey is a brilliant impressionist and is able to transform his own natural voice into anything he wants to. Whether it be The Church Lady, Hans, Garth, George Bush...etc. The other two Best Of's that i watched actually left out some of the more funnier sketches. I believe the sketches compiled into this DVD are the funniest Dana Carvey did. Also, the extras are great too. You can watch Dana's original audition for SNL, watch many outtakes, a sketch that was actually completely cut from the actual show, and his appearances on Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien. Highly recommended for Dana Carvey fans, SNL fans, or just comedian fans in general...Expect to be laughing to the point of tears in this great DVD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can I Finish?, January 6, 2006

By	Matt (NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Saturday Night Live: The Best of Dana Carvey (DVD)

Dana Carvey is one of the funniest and most talented comedians to have ever appeared on SNL. Although his film career did not truly take off, like many other SNL alumni to follow, he is among the finest when it comes to comedic material and timing.

Best known for his impressions, his "Best of" DVD is loaded with them. George Bush, Regis, Jimmy Stewart, Ross Perot, George Michael, Johnny Carson, etc... Some of our old favorites are also revisited: The Church Lady, Garth Algar, Hans and a Grumpy Old Man. Whichever is your favorite, you will enjoy them all. This is some of the best material Saturday Night Live has to offer, courtesy of their best impressionist to date.

Also included on the DVD you will find Carvey's original SNL audition tape footage and appearances on Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really the best of Dana Carvey but still OK, December 26, 2007

By	Jonathan E. Rice "MusicBook&MovieFan" (Lexington, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Saturday Night Live: The Best of Dana Carvey (DVD)

The title of the review pretty much says it all. While there are a few classic Dana Carvey skits on the DVD, it could have been much, much better. One big disappointment was the Hans and Franz skit. I always loved Hans and Franz, but the one chosen for the DVD is probably the least funny of that bit. Other skits are boring and not funny (as SNL has always been guilty of on a regular basis) but at least it does contain some of Carvey's best such as his George Bailey in the lost ending to It's a Wonderful Life (best Carvey skit ever!) It also has a Wayne's World skit that is not too bad, and the classic game show where he plays a contestant with ESP. These three final skits mentioned are what makes the DVD worth while and for basically $10 it's not a bad deal.
