Great fun, but could have been better
rating: 4
While this was seriously funny it didn't include his funniest stuff. Maybe it's a matter of taste. Either way, this is a great buy.

TOUCH MY MONKEY!!!! TOUCH IT!!!!!
rating: 5
This DVD makes me 'as happy as a little GIRRRL!' The DVD whets your appetite, as it includes some of Mike Myers' better skits. 'Sprockets' and 'Cawfee Tawk' is worth the price of the DVD and then some.

Overplaying the Star Aspect
rating: 2
I used to own the VHS version of this, but threw it away when I realized that it had very few funny sketches on it. I agree with some of the other reviewers who said that it just seems like they went for the sketches with the most famous people in them. I saw the Coffee Talk sketch with Madonna and Roseanne and Barbra Streisand when it first aired; I didn't think it was funny then and I don't think it's funny now. I found it totally boring. I know there were better Coffee Talk segments.
I found the Wayne's World segment with Tom Hanks and Aerosmith to be pretty boring and not very funny, ditto with the Danny DeVito episode of Simon. The best episode of Simon that there ever was was the one with Macaulay Culkin, hands down.
Lothar of the Hill People is one of the stupidest things I have ever had to sit through, and the thing with Ron Wood, Liam Neeson, and Nell was stupid also.
I loved the Mick Jagger sketch and I think that Philip the Hyper-Hypo is hilarious. I had a cousin who was sort of like Philip when I was growing up, and he used to come over and destroy everything in our house.
The other one that almost made me soil myself the first time I saw it was the British play review with Steve Martin and Dana Carvey and (I think) Eric Idle. That is one of my favorite single sketches in the history of SNL...the world--BANG! the wooorrrllld!

Some classic skits and characters
rating: 4
There are some pretty great characters here in this collection of Mike Myers' years on SNL from 1989-1995 and one monologue from his hosting in 1997.
Some great characers featured in here are Wayne Campbell, Dieter in Sprockets, Lothat of the Hill People, Simon, and of course my favorite, Middle-Aged Man. All the skits here are very funny and very entertaining. I highly recommend this dvd.
