Summary: Could there be another DVD for will?
Review: I just got this DVD and I have to say it's missing allot of what made Will so good to watch.Some classic skits are here and worth buying,just beware it's short.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing Selections from SNL
Review: In 2000, George Magazine voted Will Ferrell one of the 50 Most Influential People in Politics for his cutting impersonation of then Presidential hopeful George W. Bush. There's about 45 seconds worth of Bush on this disc. It does feature some of Ferrell's more memorable work, as Marty Culp, Craig the Cheerleader, and the frustrated Alex Trebeck. But missing, including the Bush impersonations, are many of the Janet Reno sketchs, full sketches of the Dysfuntional Family, Morning Latte, and more. Ferrell is a comic genius, however the producers of this disc are not doing him justice. This is a rental, not a purchase.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I Can't Get Enough
Review: Will Ferrell is one of my all-time favs from SNL. I rented this DVD first and liked it so much I bought it to add to my collection of SNL best-of's.

This contains most of his funny characters...the Professor and his "lover," the cowbell skit, Pres Bush, Craig the cheerleader, the morning show, and of course the high school music director. These are great to have on hand to pop in when I want a laugh.

There are a few skits missing...I wish they had put the skit when he is in the backyard yelling at the kids to "Get off the Shed"!!! But overall, I think the hits are here.

If you are a Will Ferrell fan, I don't see how you can be disappointed with this collection of skits.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dont expect a lot
Review: This was the first 'best of' that i have gotten from SNL. I was not impressed at all. It only had like 12 skits on characters he's played. I was expecting to sit down and see 30 skits. That didnt happen. Not really worth it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: eye of the be-holder
Review: Everyone with half a brain knows that the best & only cast of SNL worth watching was back in the late 70's to early 80's with the likes of Bill Murray, John Belushi, and Dan Aykroyd. Every cast since has been nothing but a sinkhole of talentless, boring, pathetic losers trying to be something they're not.... funny.

OTOH, Ferrell blows Jim Carrey away.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Throw your hands in the air if you think you're a playa!!
Review: It's always great to watch an SNL performer take such child-like glee in what he does. Could've used more Janet Reno, though. I'll agree with the "man with taste" (see previous review dated Dec. 24) about the '86-90 seasons--best casts and smartest writing. However, Will Ferrell often reminds me of Dana Carvey, so I think it's unfair to slam other SNL casts as hopelessly inferior.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not worth the money to be honest
Review: I bought this after seeing Best of Will Ferrell 2 on NBC, thinking this would be a lot funnier (and I guessed wrong). There are probably 3-4 skits on the disc that you can't even crack a smile on. If you can get this one at discount, then consider it, but there are only 4 skits that are funny at all. I must admit though, that the "Behind the Music" scene is a thing of mastery.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: How the *@#$ can this hack have a best of release?!?!?!?!?
Review: Everyone with half a brain knows that the best & only cast of SNL worth watching was back in the late 80's to early 90's with the likes of Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Kevin Nealon, among others. Every cast before or since has been nothing but a sinkhole of talentless, boring, pathetic losers trying to be something they're not.... funny. The only way any of these people, especially Will Ferrell, could make me laugh is if they fell down a few flights of stairs and broke thier necks. Please, if you are entertaining the idea of purchasing this dreck, do something more constructive with your money... throw it out the window. That's what your doing anyway.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Funny... but disappointing clips
Review: This DVD set was a let down. As always Will Ferrell is hysterical, but the selections of clips that were included in this DVD were disappointing. Only 1 celebrity jeopardy, no dog lawyer, no jingleheimer junction. Will Ferrell is a man of many funny talents, but I would have thought some of his funnier outtakes would be included.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Soo Effing Funny!!!
Review: I absolutely love the best of Will Ferrell. The man is an absolute god. His audition is soo great... he came up with the Harry Carey sketch. GET OFF THE GODDAMN SHED!!!! I can never stop laughing when I watch that. YOU CANNOT TALK TO ME LIKE THAT, I AM A DIVISION MANAGER... I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!!! Pretty much, it just doesnt get much better than the best of Will Ferrell... cept maybe the best of Chris Farley, but that is a whole different story.
