Product Description
Austin Powers' alter-ego, Mike Myers spent much of the 1990s as a regular contributor to US network television comedy mainstay 'Saturday Night Live'. So sit back and enjoy some of the highlights of Myer's creations including Wayne Campbell (public access metalhead), Dieter (host of 'Sprockets'), 'Phillip the Hyper Hypo Kid' and many more. Steve Martin, Madonna, Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Danny DeVito and Aerosmith (with Tom Hanks as their roadie) guest.
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Best of Mike Myers is a compilation of sketches from his six seasons on the American show Saturday Night Live, and features the star in his pre-Austin Powers days appearing in various garbs and characters, though not as Powers himself. There are, however, two Wayne's World segments, Myers' other great cinematic triumph (in collaboration with Dana Carvey), in which he plays the zonked-out heavy-metal dude who presents a cable show from his basement. One features Aerosmith guesting, waylaid by Wayne's mum and given the tour of the house, or "walk of shame"; the other has Madonna, in a parody of her In Bed With... era.
Other characters include Sprockets, a stern and Teutonic techno-obsessed host, and Lothar of the Hill People, an ancient chieftain. Considering he is Liverpool-born, Myers is happy to peddle some curious American stereotypes of the British: that they have bad teeth, as in the "Hedley & Wyche" sketch ("one tube lasts a lifetime") or that they all behave like characters from a Terry-Thomas movie. Among the featured guests in these sketches are Steve Martin, Tom Hanks (as Aerosmith's roadie), Nicole Kidman as a six-year-old girl, Roseanne Barr and Danny DeVito. Sometimes, as is SNL's wont, the sketches go on several minutes too long and lack sharpness, while the star guests don't always put in Oscar-winning performances. However, amid the self-indulgence there are a number of very funny moments.
On the DVD: The Best of Mike Myers DVD is a straightforward transfer of the TV original with no extra features. --David Stubbs

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 February 2015Excellent, Schwiiing & so forth.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 August 2008I had high expectations of this DVD, but found it patchy. Of course, that's usually the way of SNL in general but for one of the world's highest paid comics it is something of an irregularity. For better watching character comedy check out the likes of Paul Whitehouse in Help.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 June 2012Saturday Night Live's Best of Mike Myers is hilarious and full of great moments. Featuring some of Mike's most famous characters such as Wayne (Waynes World), Deiter host of German TV Show Sprocket's and Coffee Talk's Linda Richman.
Mike's sense of humour is amazing and is fully on show in this DVD. Also as a nice touch a lot of the sketches have guest appearances from; Steve Martin, Aerosmith, Madonna, Mick Jagger and Nicole Kidman.
The DVD is great value for money and I have watched it many times as the comedy doesn't wear thin except the song and dance number at the beginning but you can just skip it thankfully.
An essential purchase for anyone who likes Waynes World or Austin Powers.
