Saturday Night Live: The Best of Mike Myers
TrailerNone available
I wasn't planning on watching
Saturday Night Live: The Best of Mike Myers at all. But as I was digging through my stash of DVD's tonight, my
SNL Box Set caught my eye and it just made sense to continue onward with my
Mike Myers marathon, following in the footsteps of
Austin Powers. This
Best Of is probably one of the better ones. Not perfect, but it does have a lot of
Mike's better sketches and they at least got most of it right, including the greatest
Wayne's World sketch (with
Tom Hanks and
Aerosmith) and of course
Coffee Talk with
Madonna and
Rosanne. Every single time I watch this particular sketch, I always end up rewinding a few times and watching the moment
Barbra Streisand comes out in a surprise walk-on. Why? Just look at
Mike's reaction as he literally does a double take because it doesn't register with him at first just who in fact is crashing his party. It's awesome. Even
Madonna and
Rosanne's reaction were priceless.
Other skits included are
Wayne's World with Madonna. You know, the
'Justify My Love' Dream sequence and you can't have a
Best Of and not include
Mike Meyers as
Mick Jagger and
Mick Jagger as
Keith Richards. Say that 10 times really fast. Anyway, most of the skits here are good, but like all
The Best Of's that
SNL puts out, it's incomplete. Definitely worth a
Rent though.
