Saturday Night Live - The Best of Christopher Walken

You can just tell that Walken is enjoying himself while doing these skits! I saw this video many years ago and just watched it again. Definitely had to buy it this time! This has the cowbell skit but also The Continental skits which are Insanely Funny!!!

There is probably no stranger group of skits than the best skits of Christopher Walken (not all of which are on this DVD). Attention will be focused on the more popular fare -- his outings as "The Continental" and his skit with Mango. But the more obscure offering of Walken interviewed by a census taker stands as the oddest funny skit in memory. Walken always seems to teeter on the edge of being mistaken for a pedophile or an ax murderer. His strange cadence, shifting eyes and blank look are the perfect affect for the bizarre statements that come from his mouth, one sentence cleverly layering upon the next. And in another favorite skit, the bizarre hysteria of his band manager ("I need more cowbell") plays well, time and time again. It is sometimes hard to explain to the uninitiated why these skits are so funny. They are funny because he does them, and he is so damn wierd.

I watched the Best of Christopher Walken when it aired on TV. I was thrilled to see that it's being released on DVD because I laughed my butt off. CW nails his comedic timing, and he is the master of straight, cool kat one moment to a crooked grin character the next in this collection. This echoes his roles of playing dry humor in such films as "Pulp Fiction" and "True Romance." My favorite sketches are "The Continental" and the "Cow-Bell" although Will Ferrell made that sketch happen just as much as CW. In "The Continental" I'd swear the second champagne in the face was an unplanned surprise to an unsuspecting Chris, but he maintains character albeit barely which is just as funny as his next line, "You throw cham - pag - na on me once, then shame on you. You throw cham - pag - na on me twice, then shame on me." All this followed by the desperate door-blocking attempts. I've bought a copy for my dad.

Christopher Walken is just brilliant with everything. The voice tone, the face reactions, the body language, the punch lines. I mean he is an icon himself. TOTALLY FUN

I had to add this to my Best of SNL collection. If you are a Christopher Walken fan or SNL fan, I would say it's great, but not a "must" have. It seemed short to me. I think I dosed off during the middle of it though. But the "More Cow Bell" skit is laugh out loud funny that makes it worth owning. Now if they would make a best of Justin Timberlake and/or Andy Samberg, I know alot of people who would buy that one!

I GOT THE FEVAH, AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION IS MORE COWBELLPS, series was great, I laughed at least 5 times so well worth it

Purchased this DVD solely to own a good quality copy of The Gardener and More Cowbell; two of Christopher Walken's best SNL appearances, in my opinion.The case is as utilitarian as they come: matte black with a simple cover insert. Its got those awful-impossible-to-remove stickers on all three opening edges. No booklet or other paperwork inside the case.DVD is great, plays fine.Great product, feel confident purchasing if you are a Christopher Walken fan.

This DVD is fantastic, laughed my head off.

Christopher Walken is the man.Bought this for a gift.Was well received.

Christopher Walken is soooo funny! Must have if you love SNL.

オープニングスキットの Hardball から笑えます。Cowbell に固執する音楽プロデューサーやフランス訛りのプレイボーイスキットなど見ごたえ十分です。
