Product Description
Will ferrell dominated snl with characters as different as craig the cheerleader and president george w. Bush. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 05/22/2007
Amazon.com
The latest in the line of ISaturday Night Live/I's great character players (including Dan Aykroyd and Phil Hartman), Will Ferrell showcases his fearlessness in this 72-minute collection. Whether exposing skin or taking a pause beyond the normal limits, Ferrell induces hard laughs like with the cowbell rocker in the first sketch. The selection includes Ferrell's spot-on impressions of Cub announcer Harry Caray, game-show icon Alex Trebek, President Bush, and IInside the Actor's Studio/I host James Lipton. As with other ISNL Best of.../I retrospectives, there are short snippets to go along with the full-length sketches that include excellent selections of Ferrell's returning characters Craig the Cheerleader and the swinging Culp brothers. A must for fans, and the DVD includes an intriguing audition footage in which Ferrell leaps from character and character. I--Doug Thomas/I

 SNL Best of Will Ferrell January 6, 2009
E. Swirsky (East Lansing, MI)
The product was sold used and appeared pretty scratched but it works great! No skips or glitches at all! The seller was very quick to ship and product arrived safely and in tact. Came in original case with minor damages to the case and some stickers.
4 stars, strong but could've been a bit better December 15, 2008

I bought this disc and have watched it a few times... it's the kind of thing you have to break out every year or two, which compliments Ferrell's funniest movies like Anchorman, Old School, Elf, and Zoolander quite well. br / br /It captures most of his funny SNL material with only a few misses. If you want more, also buy Volume 2 (not nearly as funny on its own, but the extra volume of sketches will help your collection). br / br / br /Here's my rating of the sketches, each out of 5 stars: br / br /Marty Bobby Culp: Drug awareness assembly - funny, too short, 4/5 br /VH1 Behind the Music: Blue Oyster Cult (with Christopher Walken) - A true classic, 5/5 br /Dissing your dog training video - Hilarious, 4.5/5 br /Spartan Cheerleaders Chess Team tournament - Quirky, 3.5/5 br /Robert Goulet: Coconut Banger's Ball - Highly amusing, 4.5/5 br /Snips - Will in thong at business meeting/Mini Cell Phone - Disturbing / funny, overall 4/5 br /Rachel Dratch gives birth to Will - More disturbing! 4/5 br /Jeopardy: Burt Reynolds, Sean Connery, French Stewart - Classic, 4/5 br /Inside the Actors Studio: Charles Nelson Riley (Alec Baldwin) - Classic, 3.5/5 br /The Devil teaches Garth Brooks a song - Amusing, 3/5 br /Snips: George W. Bush/Janet Reno boxing Guliani/Clinton, Monica, Saddam on the phone - Good versatility, 4/5 br /Space the Infinite Frontier with Harry Caray ( Jeff Goldblum) - Weird! 4/5 br /Hot Tub Luvas (with Drew Barrymore) - Amusing, 3/5 br /Roxbury Guys (with Jim Carrey) - Dated but worth a chuckle, 3.5/5 br /Snips: Good Morning Latte/Dog Show - Amusing, 3.5/5 br /Nude guy poses for Art Class (with Lucy Lawless) - Creepy!, 3.5/5 br /Family yelling at dinner (with Sarah Michelle Gellar) - Amusing, 3.5/5 br /Jacob Silj: Voice Modulation (on Weekend Update) - Amusing, 3/5 br / br / br /Extra features: Audition as Harry Caray, Conan, etc. - Good stuff, 4/5 br / br / br /Overall rating, 4/5. Basically if you are a Will Ferrell fan at all you need this DVD in your collection. They definitely could have had more Bush, Goulet, and the Culps, but definitely worth having!!

This has some funny bits in it. Some of the best skits are hilarious because of someone else in the sketch. Christopher Walken steals the "Cowbell" sketch, and Jim Carrey adds that something extra to the predictable "Roxbury" sketch. Some of these just aren't even remotely funny like the Robert Goulet one, while the quick takes offer some of the funniest laughs. Some of these just drag on too long. The Harry Caray bit is funny, but after a while it just seems like Will is simply trying to think of something funny to say.
 The "Best of" them all! May 20, 2008
Elizabeth M. Pomeroy
I've watched nearly all of the "The Best of..." SNL cast members/guests, and this one is, hands-down, my absolute favorite! The same is true for my husband and brother as well. Tons of quotable stuff and hilarious skits, including some classics (i.e. "...more cowbell!") that just make you want to watch it over and over again!
one of my fav comedian May 13, 2008

I gave the dvd 4 out of 5 because I thought they could have added more... They gave me little clips of the funny skits (like my fav gay store manager that comes in riding on the cart). You dont get the full one.. just funny parts of it. The skits were funny and the extras were good. I also have the second one but I really dont recommend you buying it. Just buy this one, if you get a good deal, its worth it.
