    Fairly funny

    It has some good moments in it and its refreshing to see sandler developing so many characters which then obviously became main characters in his hilarious movies.Sandler has many stars guesting on his show and the funniest by far is definitely Alley that sketch is hilarious.

    Please make sure after you have watched this DVD that you get hold of Will Ferrells and Chris Rock's versions they are hilarious its a shame there aren't more special features but this DVD should keep you amused for quite some time and there are several others in the collection that are worth purchasing even if you are a brit like me. All in all for around £5 you are getting a quality show which you can watch over and over still appreciating Sandlers own unique brand of humour the camp site sketch is brilliant I was in stitches and it obviously inspired the character Bobby boucher in Sander's excellent Waterboy.

    Uneven with bouts of garbage and then bouts of genius.

    The thing with Adam Sandler is that he is an uneven genius- an idiot savant if you will- who is not reliably funny. Some of these skits suck in ways that make you wonder if Sandler just got too wasted that week to do anything worthwhile comedic or what. In any event the FF button is your friend on this one- skip the opera singer fer sure-it's disgusting that they had almost every opera singer skit ever made in this- what garbage filler.

    The travel guide skit and the girls at the mall skits are worth the price of admission and then some. While this collection is not perfect- when Sandler is on he is ON- and if you only find 3 skits that hit you with the Sandler genius- it was worth it. But I think you will find a good deal more than that. Just don't be afraid to FF through the really lame crap but sometimes it's hard to spot because Sandler dabbles in total stupidity and total genius- sometimes he skips the genius part.

    best scenes, feelings towards snl

    i think the best scenes were "Canteen Boy" and of coarse "Lunch Lady Land"....oh yes and "Cajun Man"....adam sandler is hilarious...

    also, saturday night live isnt what it used to be...it was so much better when the cast consisted of adam sandler, chris farley, david spade, rob schnieder, kevin nealon, tim meadows, phil hartman, mike myers, dana carvey....the best skits from then i think were "simon", "gap girls", "canteen boy", "the chris farley show", "the ladies man"(i know thats a little newer, but tim meadows was on for a while), "schmidts gay", "opera man", "waynes world", "church lady", "cajun man" and so many more...i also like when jim bruer was on the show...hes funny as hell...

    snl is pretty much horrible now...the only people i find to be funny on it is jimmy fallon and horatio sands...and even they are not that funny...i do like though when jimmy fallon cant hold his laughter...hes notorious for busting up laughing while people are trying to act, i love that...

    thats just what i think though

    Adam is awesome

    Everything on this movie is hilarious. It is all so memorable, i know that I will be able to watch this movie over and over again. Saturday Night Live is such a great show, but lately their material seems over-used and unfunny. This video really is the BEST of Adam Sandler. I especially liked Opera Man, Denise Show, and when he sang.The people i was watching this video with and I were on the floor cracking up on those skits. Watch this video for a good laugh, especially if your a huge Adam Sandler fan like I am.

    I am in love w/ Adam

    I swear, this movie is hilarious. I bought it because I am a huge Adam Sandler fan (dare I say, his number one fan?) but even if you arent you will crack up. It's so funny. I mean, anytime you put the great Adam Sandler with others like Kevin Nealon or the late great Chris Farley, you've got a great film. SNL is a fantastic show, but it will never be as good as it was when the amazing Adam was on the show. Look especially for the skits The Herlihy Boy, Lunchlady Land, Adam as Bruce Springsteen, and various Operaman songs.This video is a definite keeper! Its fantastic and so is Adam Sandler !!!!!!! :-)
