Summary: What Might Have Been.
Review: I must say that I was dissapointed in the best of DVD for Ferrell. It was only 73 minutes and most of that was filled with the cheesest stuff like "The Spartans" cheerleeder crap. You do get Terrance Maddox and the Cow Bell but there is no "Neil Diamond" or the "Bad Doctor" stuff. There is only one Harry Carry part and only 20 second clip of his George W Bush work. SNL missed the boat on this one. If you like the "Alda Music Teachers" type stuff then this is your DVD. I would rather see Mr. Tartanian beat the crap out of his employees than watch the cheese of the Roxbury Night Club. That is just not funny. The best of Will Ferrell should be a 3 Disc set so everyone gets what they want out of it. We get one commercial parody of the "dog trainer," and I admit that it is funny. Only one though. One Celebrity Jeopardy but it wasn't the sharpest or "best of." I know a lot of people who were waiting for this to come out and they are going to be upset.NBC and the Producers at SNL don't really know the fans of Will Ferrell. A few laughs when it could have been great.

Summary: Bwahahahaha
Review: This DVD is one of the funniest things that you can buy. Will Ferrell is mad funny and this DVD has all of his funny stuff from SNL. Even though most of us have seen these sketches before, they are just as funny when you watch them on this DVD. I highly reccommend this for anyone who wants to laugh for a lil more than an hour straight, and I think everyone will get a laugh from the Blue Oyster Cult sketch.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Some funny stuff missing
Review: After viewing the new DVD featuring Will Ferrell's "best" on Saturday Night Live, I must say that I am a bit disappointed. While many of the sketches featured were funny, such as the Blue Oyster Cult Behind the Music and the Culps singing about saying no to drugs, I felt that much of his most knee-slapping material was omitted from this DVD. Where's the Janet Reno Dance Party where the former attorney general actually shows up? Where's the Spartan cheerleader sketch with Jim Carrey as foreign exchange student Lockmiel? Most importantly, where are the Bush/Gore sketches that were highly successful during the 2000 election? We only see Ferrell as Dubya for a split second on this DVD! I hope SNL is planning a "Best of Election 2000" DVD. Otherwise, there is no excuse for leaving this stuff out.

If you are a fan of Ferrell's sketch work, I would recommend renting this. I personally would not buy it. I've seen funnier "Best Of" collections from former SNL alumni. I don't think this DVD does justice to Ferrell's long run on the show. But do enjoy what is offered anyway. I wouldn't call this DVD a total loss, but I would call it incomplete.

Summary: DVD Contents
Review: I would assume this DVD will contain the bits played during the "Best of Will Ferrell" episode they aired this past Saturday night 7/26/03. Included:

* Blue Oyster Cult with Walken - "More Cowbell!"
* Dissing Your Dog commercial - CLASSIC!
* Dysfunctional family with Buffy as daughter - gets old quick
* Harry Carey Space show with Goldblum - "Its a simple question doctor, would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs?" Awesome!
* Nude art school model - Very gross!
* Lovers in hot tub w/ Fallon & Barrymore - everyone cracks up!

Plus lots of small clips from his skits. All in all it will definitely be worth the money. The dissing your dog commercial is worth full price right there! I'm glad they included that. The only thing I wish they would include is when he played the devil trying to write a hit song for Garth Brooks. The songs are hilarious!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny skits

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sidesplitting, but needs more material
Review: A lot of great sketches, here, but alot missing. One of my favorites that was not included is the one with Garth Brooks, where Will plays the Devil.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: OK at best
Review: The main reason i give this DVD 3 stars is only because it is Will Ferrell...but the sketches chosen for this apparant "Best of" series were very poor. I only found myself laughing out loud maybe 3 or 4 times, and even then they could have done better. Will Ferrell is such a genious comedian yet this DVD makes him look almost like an amateur. These sketches are OK, but there are SO many more ferrell's that could have and should have been chosen. If you like Will Ferrell and enjoy collecting Ferrell DVDS or what not, then its worth the buy...or if you enjoy just collecting the "SNL Best of's" then have it...but if you want to get a DVD that will make you laugh non stop till you are crying then this is definitely not a good buy. Just stick to the old re-runs that are on E! everynow and then, those will make you laugh more

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is so Funny. I love Will Ferrell.
Review: This is great. I miss SNL Saturday nights because I have problems staying up that late. So I bought this and I was laughing so hard I though I was going to have a heart attack. My favorites are The Celebrity Jeopardy especially Burt Reynolds and Sean Connery. I also like dissing your dog especially the last one. I like him as Saddam and Bush too.I also like when he is posing for art students that is hilarious, buy this Will Ferrell fans and don't forget to buy Anchorman too!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Boooo!!!! Too short, not enough of the good stuff.
Review: I think there are much better comedians out there, but there were many funny Will Ferrell moments on SNL. Too bad such a small percentage of them are featured on this DVD.

ONE Jeopardy skit? Not even the funniest one? No Janet Reno stuff - I truly expected to see the Dance Party. I don't even recall seeing George W. skits. I also didn't like that many of the skits were truncated.

I expected this DVD to be a LOT longer - slightly more than an hour total was too short. I would've paid more to get one DVD that contained a lot more skits.

To be fair, most of the skits contained on this DVD are funny. But this is overshadowed by the disappointment of not seeing the best of the best and the too short duration.

I planned on buying the other "Best of" DVDs - Eddie Murphy, Phil Hartman, etc., but now I think I'll try to rent or wait and get them used.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: fantastic
Review: i love this dvd. And i agree... i think it's missing a lot of the better will ferrell skits, but it's still a knee-slapper. The second volume, however, is just a darn shame.
