Product Description
CHEIR OTERI'S PEPPY, ENERGETIC STYLE ALWAYS MAKE HER CHARACTERS ON SNL HILARIOUS TO WATCH.FROM PHYSICAL COMEDY AS THE CHEERLEADER, ARIANNA, TO IMPRESSIONS OF BARBARA WALTERS & JUDGE JUDY, TO WACKY CHARACTERS LIKE RITA DEL VECCHIO, NADEEN ORPRESCRIPTION DRUG JUNKIE COLLETTE, CHERI MADE AUDIENCES LAUGH.

Cheri Oteri breathed bracing fresh air into the seasons she appeared on Saturday Night Live, and created memorable characters both absurd and delightful. This 78-minute disc contains samples of some of her signature performances, including the preternaturally peppy cheerleader, Arianna, paired with a strapping Will Ferrell. (Ever tried to lead a cheer at the team's…swim meet? Arianna never met a challenge she couldn't conquer.) Oteri also takes on media icon Barbara Walters, satirized decades earlier by the incomparable Gilda Radner as Baba Wawa. Oteri's impersonation both pays homage to Radner's and takes it to a new level of absurdity; Oteri's Walters is a randy, name-dropping old coot who doesn't miss a beat--or an opportunity to aggrandize herself ("I was horseback riding the other day with Saddam Hussein…"). Don't miss the brief skit where Walters tries to have phone sex with a nonplussed Tom Brokaw. Other signature characters include Oteri's Judge Judy and the prescription hound Collette (appearing here in a priceless bit with John Goodman as a flummoxed pharmacist). And of course, the abusive Burger Castle counter chick Nadeen, who shoots down every customer request with a "Simma down, now!" Extras include audition and dress rehearsal footage, and an audio commentary by Oteri. --A.T. Hurley

 Ya best simmah! June 28, 2007

This is one of my favorite SNL DVDs. I've always wondered why these DVDs weren't longer; they could easily fit twice the skits on one disc. Still, they chose Cheri's material well: Nadeen's "simmah" skit with Tobey Maguire, Collette's prescription chase with John Goodman, Cheri's horny wife to Chris Kattan's horny husband with Sarah Michelle Gellar, and the classic Mrs. Delvecchio skit with Christopher Walken...not to mention 2 awesome cheerleader sketches. All of these characters had other great skits as well (the horny husband and wife buying a car from Ben Affleck was priceless) but this is a solid 80 minutes of comedy for a great price. Pick one up - you won't be sorry.

Taco! Burrito! What's that under your Speedo?
I love Cheri Oteri's characters! She was always someone I looked forward to seeing on SNL during her era on the show, and I was very sad when she left. I was so excited to see this at the video store last week, I picked it up without hesitation. Her Barbara Walters bits are great, and of course Arianna is great, too. My favorite is still Nadine, though. I can't help but laugh every time I see the Burger Castle skit. I hope they put the other Nadine skits on another dvd along with other classic Cheri performances. Everyone needs to go out and get this one today!
A Must Have! Hoping for a Best of Part 2!!!! May 24, 2006

Good stuff for any Cheri Oteri fan. I personally think that Cheri's talents were very underated and I'm glad they finally released this dvd. One thing I wish they included in this best of dvd was the "Robin Bird Show" where she played a has been porn star with a talk show. It was pretty over the top. Maybe they will release a part II dvd. There are still so much other matieral that she has done so I don't see why they couldn't! Highly recommended and you won't be sorry you purchased this dvd.

I have waited so long for this DVD to finally come out!!!! I was amazed at all the "MALE" best ofs and virtually none of the females being recognized as some of the top comics of SNL. This is a genuinely super DVD!! I laughed all the way through - get it - this one's a keeper!!!!!
I am in total agreement with Previous Reviewer May 26, 2006

The first person who reviewed this is right- so much more of Cheri Oteri was missing from this DVD but I have waited (impatiently!) for YEARS for the release of this DVD so I am just glad to have some best of Cheri Oteri on SNL to watch- over and over. I hope they do release a part 2 DVD. Cheri Oteri needs her own show- like Tracey Ullman where she can explore her characters and create new ones. This DVD made me pee in my pants from laughter.
