Summary: Could've Been Better
Review: As one of "Saturday Night Live's"most famous comedians, Chris Rock created a long line of classic characters and impressions in his 3 years on the show. But many of them are missing. A few recurring sketches are here, but they are from when he hosted the show. A lot of this dvd's best sketches have Rock as a second and even third banana. For instnace, in the "Sinatra Group" sketch (this one's my favorite), his role as 2 Live Crew star is sadly limited, as Phil Hartman shines as Frank Sinatra (though to be fair, Sinatra is supposed to be the main focus). The other Luther Campbell sketch is funny, with Phil Hartman, Mike Myers and Jan Hooks, Dana Carvey and that "Twi Peaks" guy throwing song ideas at him left and right, much to his dismay. Another thing is that even when Rock is the main focus, another character outshines him. For instance, in "The Bensonhurts Dating Game", Rock's the main focus, but Joe Pesci gets the best lines. A sad waste of talent. The extras are better. There's another one of his hiarious "Weekend Update" commentaries, plus a better "Nat X" sketch that is from 1990, back when the show was in its prime. This is proabably the least enjoyable "SNL" dvd ever. Chris Rock is another player who deserves a volume 2.

Summary: Good, But My Least Favorite "SNL" DVD
Review: Chris Rock was one of the freshest, rawest comedians in "Saturday Night Live" history. Skits like "The Dark Side With Nat X", "2 Live Crew", "The Proud Pattersons" and his monologues showcase his unique flair for "urban humor". This dvd tries its best to include Rock's best moments, but unfortuneately, it caught in the muck and myer along the way. There are about one or two things wrong with this dvd that do not make it live up to the superior retrospectives put together for Dana Carvey, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, and Adam Sandler. First up, skits like "I'm Chillin'" and "Big Toe Song" are rather pointless (the latter disgusting) and forgettable. Second, some of the best skits feature Rock as a second banana rather than the main focus. These happen to include my two favorite sketches, "The Bensonhurst Dating Game" and "The Sinatra Group". In the former, he is bested by host Joe Pesci and fellow "SNL" heavyweights Adam Sandler and Dana Carvey. In the latter, he plays Luther Campbell of 2 Live Crew in a debate group led by Frank Sinatra, played by the superb Phil Hartman. Overall, not too bad a dvd, but it could've been so much more.

Summary: He's great as you know
Review: Chris's Best of Saturday Night Live just shines in this collection. His ability to make serious issues downright hilarious is obvious throughout the tape. The executives at Saturday Night Live did not appreciate his talent as much as they should have. I collect Saturday Night Live videos and this is the latest addition to the group and my personal favorite. Some of the material is the same jokes that are in "Bring the Pain" but I don't think you can ever hear them too much. Rock's parodies of early 90's rap and R&B are incredibly funny and his news commentaries on the racial gap are shocking but you can't help but laugh. This video is a definite must for any Chris Rock or Saturday Night Live fan.

Sketch/Production Credits The best sketches by far on here are the Weekend Update's and the Nat X's. The sketches in which Rock plays 'second/third' bannana are 2 Live Crew, Sinatra, Not Getting Any, and Bensonhurst. 2 Live Crew and Not Getting Any aren't even funny. And Ernies is a pretty bad sketch. The rest on this DVD are pure gold. The Extras are great too. SNL should just include more.

Summary: SNL (...)
Review: This collection is an insult to Chris Rock. SNL has succeeded in even making the greatest comedian of our time look bad. Rent this first to see how bad it is before you waste your money as well as your time. Get his concert and HBO shows. This is what happens when you put a comedian from the wild in a SNL cage.... he dies. Thank God he was able to be reborn on HBO. It's just not funny. Sorry.

Summary: Not too bad
Review: This is a pretty funny DVD full of some of Chris Rock's best skits on SNL. But, beware, some of the recurring skits aren't featured at their best on this disc. The Nat X skit was the one from when he hosted the show, and definitely not as good as the ones when he was a cast member.
