1) Product Description
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 MOVIE2) Amazon.com
The latest in the line of Saturday Night Live'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 Inside the Actor's Studio host James Lipton. As with other SNL Best of... 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. --Doug Thomas

Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5
1) Far out [Rating: 5 out of 5]
It's a riot, top to bottom. Will Ferrell's ,hands down,the best, one of a kind.I strongly recommend.2) A small showing of the potential of this great comedian [Rating: 3 out of 5]
Even though the quality of these sketches is uneven, with some been extremely funny, like the one with the dysfunctional family, and others kind of boring, one can definitely see the talent of Will Ferrell. Especially in what has to do with impersonations and over the top funny situations. I recommend this DVD to Ferrell's fans, since they will probably get a kick out of some of the sketches, but you should be warned about the fact that this is not even close to the best Ferrell has to offer. For those people that have not had that much exposure to this comedian, I would suggest that you look elsewhere, there are many movies starring Ferrell that will provide you with more enjoyment and a better way to gauge his talent.3) GooLAY! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Five stars easy if just for the Robert Goulet sings rap songs skit. Priceless.Toss in a few other all-time classics and you've got one of SNL's real MVPs. No one beats Hartman, but Ferrell and Murray are right up there, all tending to bring out the best in the other cast members.Will's James Lipton is also classic, as is his W (accurately smug and moronic), his Harry Caray, the hot tub couple, the now-ubiquitous cowbell skit, the cheerleaders, and on.A lot of unique and hilarious moments here, from a really funny guy.Extra points for keeping it together while cracking the rest of the cast up, time and again.4) Uneven, but funny [Rating: 3 out of 5]
Certain sketches are just not funny, but the ones that are more than make up for it. The Harry Cary/Jeff Goldblum science sketch is hilarious; it was worth buying the whole DVD just for that one sketch.5) Funny stuff [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I got this especially for the cow bell episode, its so stupid so hilarious, and so Will Ferrell, buy it.
