SNL: BEST OF MIKE MYERS (DVD MOVIE)
Description of Saturday Night Live - The Best of Mike Myers (Bonus Edition):
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
Saturday Night Live - The Best of Mike Myers (Bonus Edition) Reviews:
SNL Best Of Mike Myers VHS. 
2009-12-24 - Saturday Night Live The Best of Mike Myers (VHS). When SNL was actually Funny,Mike Myers is hilarious. Today's Saturday Night Live has nothing on this.
Myers deserves a better showcase 
2009-12-18 - Popping up as a featured player in early 1989, Mike Myers quickly worked his way up the ranks to become one of the funniest & most talented performers on SNL. He soon dominated the SNL schedule with sketch favorites like Wayne's World & Sprockets.
So why such a tepid collection of his work? Does this REALLY represent Myers at his best? Yes & no. The collection does include key moments on the show, but some of it feels like filler. Is the Japanese Game Show bit really that funny? More like loud & over-the-top. And seems like contestant Chris Farley stole the show here, not Myers.
As someone who would go on to bigger movie fame, Myers deserves a better collection showcase.
Awesome!
2009-09-14 - Very good copy of a DVD replacement considering it was used. Would have never known.
mike myers worst of 
2009-05-25 - ok this i thought would be a good one but it was as good as the love guru and if you have seen that then if you have common sense you will not buy this item i have 22 best ofs and the molly shannon one was better if you are going to buy a best of buy chris farely, will ferrell or tv funhouse those are the funniest so far
Don't waste your money.
2008-12-31 - I purchased several of these best of SNL DVD's for my son for Christmas. We loved the Adam Sandler, Will Farrell, Chris Farley and John Belushi. This one was JUST NOT FUNNY. They could have chosen much funnier skits but instead went for the Madonna, Aerosmith, Nicole Kidman, Danny DeVito features... as if throwing in those 'celebrities' would be worth it. NOT.
