Saturday Night Live - The Best of Will Ferrell Customer Reviews (10 - 12 of 19 Reviews)

This DVD has sketches including many of your favorite Will Ferrell characters, but I would not say they're the best sketches with these characters... Sometimes the audience barely laughs through the whole scene. Shouldn't that be a major indication that the sketch isn't that great?

Some of the sketches are totally incomplete and only feature very short portions of the scene. Why? The DVD doesn't even have a very long playing time. They could've easily fit in more video.

But that being said, it does feature some humorous sketches. I enjoyed watching the scenes where they would bust out laughing.

In the end, this DVD is just too short and would benefit from some better sketch selections. I wonder which sketches Will Ferrell would choose as his favorites? Would be interesting to know.

"I Gotta Have More Cowbell"
The only reason I'm not giving this DVD a five-star rating is that I was never a fan of the Lovers sketches and they include two of them here (one from the show and one from a bloopers segment).
I am giving it the full four-stars for the Celebrity Jeopardy (always a classic), Ferrell's always side-splitting impersonation of Harry Carray, Robert Goulet singing rap (and Ferrell appearing on Conan O'Brien as Goulet), James Lipton from "Inside the Actor's Studio" (although I preferred the Toby Maguire as Screech better), and a VH-1 parody of "Behind the Music" where the always-hysterical Christopher Walken insists on more cowbell for a Blue Oyster Cult recording. There are several more very funny ones but these are my faves.
Other really interesting segments includes a sketch cut during dress rehearsal and Will Ferrell's actual audition tape.
I'm looking forward to other SNL Best Of editions if they're as decked out with extras.
