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

 Hit or miss September 20, 2008
Mike (St. Louis, MO USA)
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

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.

A small showing of the potential of this great comedian December 25, 2007
Sebastian Fernandez (Tampa, Florida United States)
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.
