SNL - The Best of Mike Myers
What a disappointment! This TRIMARK DVD is a bust! When none of the options worked on my dvd player, 1) jump to scene, 2) subtitles, or 3) additional footage, I discovered it is labeled as SNL-Adam_Sandler on my computer! What's up with this?
A Very Funny Sampling Of Myers' "SNL" Career
First of all, I don't think the recent slew of "Saturday Night Live" dvd should be called "the best of so - and - so". A title like that will undoubtedly cause arguments among many fans since everyone has a different idea on what sketches are the best of a certain castmember.
This mumbo jumbo aside, "Saturday Night Live - The Best Of Mike Myers" is a hilarious, 16 - sketch look at his 6 years as a cast member on the show, as well as one or two from his hosting gig in 1997.
What you get are all of Mike's principle characters, including Dieter from "Sprockets", "Coffe Talk" host Linda Richman, and, of course, Wayne Campbell, host of "Wayne's World". Also, lesser characters such as Kenneth Reese Evans from "Theatre Stories" and the hyper - hypo Phillip (in a hysterical sketch with Nicole Kidman that is probably the best on the dvd). Also are some random sketches with no recurring bits or anything of that sort that are very funny, such as "R.A.F. Hospital" and "Tokyo Game Show" (from the much criticized 1994-95 season).
The bonus sketches are a mixed bag. "Wayne's World" is hilarious, with Wayne and Garth (Dana Carvey) doing a lesson on the dangers of drunk driving, a great "Coffe Talk" sketch with Ana Gasteyer fron his 1997 hosting stint, and an appearance on "Weekend Update" (again from the 1994 - 95 season) as O.J. Simpson case judge Lance Ito. However, "Scottish Soccer Hooligan Weekly" (from Myers' last episode in January of 1995) is more disgusting than it is funny. "Lank Thompson: I'm A Handsome Actor" is pretty good. But the "Scottish Soccer Hooligan Weekly" sketch should have been replaced with either "All Things Scottish", Mike's George Stephenaupolous impression or Pat Arnold of "The Super Fans".
Overall, an extremely funny sampling of Mike's career on "Saturday Night Live". Probably not the best, but a healthy sampling.
