Release Date: 12/20/2005 Amazon.com: From "Wayne's World" to the creepy hilarity of "Sprockets" and its slinky German host Dieter, this 16-sketch compilation showcases Mike Myers in his Saturday Night Live prime. Wayne Campbell and his sidekick Garth (Dana Carvey) are featured in two memorable sketches, jamming with Aerosmith and enjoying a sexy dream sequence with the babelicious Madonna. The Material Girl shows up again as the daughter of "Coffee Talk" hostess Linda Richman (who was inspired by Myers's mother-in-law), in a choice sketch with Roseanne, featuring a cameo by Barbra Streisand which is, as Linda would say, "like buttah." More obscure sketches show Myers at his most bizarre, charming, and experimental. "Lothar of the Hill People" challenged network censors with not-so-subtle allusions to masturbation and female genitalia, while Myers's penchant for all things British is frequently indulged, including spot-on send-ups of Ron Wood and Mick Jagger. His portrayal of a hypoglycemic, hyperactive 6-year-old--complete with safety helmet and restraining harness--is both outrageously funny and more than a little dangerous. (It's a miracle that guest host Nicole Kidman keeps a straight face as she feeds the "kid" a chocolate bar, with the expected results.) And while other sketches such as "Middle Aged Man" were not likely to follow Wayne and Dieter to big-screen success, they show Myers doing what he does best: conceiving original characters and pushing them to comedic extremes. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Funniest Best of SNLMike Myers is the funniest cast member from SNL ever! Each and every skit is hilarious! Rating:  - Great fun, but could have been betterWhile this was seriously funny it didn't include his funniest stuff. Maybe it's a matter of taste. Either way, this is a great buy. Rating: - TOUCH MY MONKEY!!!! TOUCH IT!!!!!This DVD makes me 'as happy as a little GIRRRL!' The DVD whets your appetite, as it includes some of Mike Myers' better skits. 'Sprockets' and 'Cawfee Tawk' is worth the price of the DVD and then some. Rating:  - Overplaying the Star AspectI used to own the VHS version of this, but threw it away when I realized that it had very few funny sketches on it. I agree with some of the other reviewers who said that it just seems like they went for the sketches with the most famous people in them. I saw the Coffee Talk sketch with Madonna and Roseanne and Barbra Streisand when it first aired; I didn't think it was funny then and I don't think it's funny now. I found it totally boring. I know there were better Coffee Talk segments. Read More Rating: - Some classic skits and charactersThere are some pretty great characters here in this collection of Mike Myers' years on SNL from 1989-1995 and one monologue from his hosting in 1997. Some great characers featured in here are Wayne Campbell, Dieter in Sprockets, Lothat of the Hill People, Simon, and of course my favorite, Middle-Aged Man. All the skits here are very funny and very entertaining. I highly recommend this dvd. |
