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 OR PRESCRIPTION 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

 CHERI OTERI is HILARIOUS! April 5, 2008
S. Webb (Santa Monica, CA)
If you love SNL then this DVD is well worth it! I never get tired of watching the cheerleaders, Debbie Allen, talk show host and more. Good times!

Let me start out by saying, I have seen all the "Best Of's" of the Saturday Night Live dvd's and besides Will Ferell,Vl.1, this is the best. Cheri Oteri is such a talented comdedian and her versatility as a comedian is just amazing!!!! I was so disappointed when she left the show. There was such a void, she had such a presence about her. If you want to laugh hard, buy this, you will not be disappointed!!!!

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.
Mad TV rips her off May 11, 2007

Has anyone else noticed how the female performers on MadTV consistently do characters which are essentially ripoffs of the ones Cheri did better when she was on SNL?
